desiv Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Yes, that is with two r's. http://amiga.net.pl/index.php?lng=eng&kwt=10010&tms=42 Always like to see new games, especially when they release with physical media and a box. The ordering is a bit quirky. You sign up for an account on their page to order. Choose your products (the main game which comes with box and a CD) or you can add a floppy disk. Then they send you an e-mail with your order number. If you are using paypal, you can then send them a paypal and make sure you mention the order number. So, it's not totally integrated. But it works.. Several people at EAB have already received their copies, so it appears to be valid. I ordered, but also asked them if they were sure shipping included to the USA. It was just under $15 shipped. That seems a bit low to me. It's a DVD case, so not a big box, but still.. Nice to see the activity.. desiv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I won't be bothered with buggering a new account, password, etc. - but cool nonetheless! In this day and age, guy should have a direct way to pay via PayPal. Pay as "guest" if you like. Select the friggin' item and pay through PayPal. Simple as that.

cncfreak Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Just ordered a copy for myself. Looks like serious fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Why would you want a Furry tank? Maybe they meant Fury? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Why would you want a Furry tank? Maybe they meant Fury? Furry… yeah, but c'mon, at least bother to read/see what it's all about. Think Fury of the Furries…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Thompson Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I love stuff like this too. It reminds me of a sim citish kind of gameplay and while I won't be picking up as I'm not in possession of an Amiga currently, it's cool to see!

JamesD Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Furry… yeah, but c'mon, at least bother to read/see what it's all about. Think Fury of the Furries…. I did look. It appears to be a modernized version of Tank Battalion. It's still spelled weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I'm most intrigued by it will run on "any" Amiga with a 68020 or better. That will leave out quite a bunch of unexpanded Amiga 500 owners. The requirement of 1 MB Chip and ideally 0.5 MB Fast isn't as tough though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Guess it was originally slated as AGA only. It's got a lot of animated graphics on the playfield. Kind of distracting... wonder if you can turn that off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Regarding Furry, it is an intended language joke comparable to Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" [2009], which in its turn got its name from the macaroni combat film "The Inglorious Bastards" [1978]. For a moment, I thought perhaps it is an acronym F.U.R.R.Y. similar to M.U.L.E. or H.E.R.O. but apparently not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desiv Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) Got my copy today! (Actually, it showed up yesterday, but we weren't home. That's not bad turn around from Poland to the US..) Nice packaging! Haven't tried it yet, so off to the Amiga... OK, initial report.. I didn't get the floppy (there is an ADF on the CD, but I didn't use that). I mounted the CD and copied the game and icon (which is a boring icon.. Not sure if I'm missing something there..) to a folder and launched it. Music played, but black screen.. So I decided to try PAL. My Amiga 1200 had to be booted in PAL. (Early Boot menu - I run my WB in PAL resolution normally, and that didn't make a difference) Once I booted the 1200 into PAL, the game launched fine.. Only played really quickly, not really knowing what I'm doing, but it worked.. desiv Edited April 1, 2016 by desiv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
