Yes, completely agree. The disk loading was reasonable also, all things considering.

Agree. I enjoyed this game quite a lot when making the longplay. The premise is very good. The game is based on a rather extensive novel series made by the same author. Shame the developer only made one game with the game engine.

I dont think ive ever come across an original last ninja disk or tape. Ive only ever seen it the pack, Six Sizzlers, which was a very prolific pack in Australia at the time.

I played all the HOMM up to about 6. For sure HOMM3 was the best, though i thought that HOMM2 was a relatively close second. I bought all these original for the PC, which i no longer have in physical.

Thanks. I made one for the C64 also.

It still a small channel and the RUclips algorithm hasnt quite come around yet.

@@C64_and_Amiga_Memories Well please keep up the great videos of these classic video games. Been nice seeing a bunch I have not seen before. As... I have seen quite a many long plays. Easily 1000's of them, so always nice to find a fresh new collection to go through. Thanks again! The Loaders are an interesting collection as well. Amazing if you own all of them. I might go through those as well we shall see. Anything I do get to seeing though I will always give a "thumbs up" hope that helps at least.

Glad you enjoyed it. Just a shame about the disk loading.

Im not sure if there is a way to not record the loading, unless it is edited out. At least with the drive emulation, it is exactly like the way you would have played it. The only way it could be done, without editing, is if there was a .CRT release, like my recent Buck Rogers longplay. Basically a cracking group needs to release it as such.

Indeed they were. They also made a sequel, Matrix Cubed that only made it on the PC.

I dont own the original myself but i recently came across this site www.commodoregames.net/fs/index.htm# and it has the original for use in an emulator. I used a cracked version for the longplay, and yes, i did notice the glitch, though it was not a game breaking bug. I dont have the snapshots anymore to potentially see a non glitched version. The site i gave has the largest archive ive seen of original images. If the site is down. just try again a little later. It often goes offline for a few hours.

Nice to see you liked it. Would you know of where i can find a copy of part II for the Amiga? I can only find the French version. The C64 i found no problem.

Nice to have another original developer dropping in to see their work. It was certainly an original loader, the book, and the 'fake' Atari ST operating system boot. Shame only one 'book' type intro was made and rest were the standard type menu's? Why didnt Amiga Power continue similar iterations Disk 15?

@@C64_and_Amiga_Memories It would've been upto the developers of the game. We created the presentation as it looked so cool, other developers simply didn't follow suit.

oh and if you look at the mental image game disk one, there's a spinning disk variant.

I actually saw this game quite extensively advertised in the magazines of the time. I think all Thalamus games had the same full page adverts for their entire catalogue.

@C64_and_Amiga_Memories Here in Brazil, the Amiga was manufactured but we could only get pirated games. That's why I didn't know many of them, others I only saw in magazines, and some I don't even remember.

@@jhsjr1955 Yes, makes sense. Was the Amiga actually manufactured in Brazil or just officially imported? In Australia they had quite a lot of authorized selllers and repairers but i dont recall any actual manufacturers.

@C64_and_Amiga_Memories Years before, a company called Sharp (not related international company) and Gradiente manufactured the MSX in Brazil. So, I was sure that the Amiga had been manufactured here too, but now I'm thinking it was just imported.

If your into these types of adventures, it probably the pinnacle of the era, and only let down by the disc access. It would really help if a scener would make a .crt of it so it can be used on a real C64

seeing the ending or when i got stuck in a game as a kid is a main reason i love making longplays. Glad you enjoyed it

Glad you like them!

Yes, via VICE. Though the images i use on all the loaders are 100% original, being in G64 format. No cracks and they will run just like a store bought original. Back in the day i virtually never had original software on disk and there seems to be a lot of stuff the crackers took out.

You can use ALT F8 and that would bring up the file menu where you input the disk or side of the disk you want. Alternatively you can use the file menu in the drop down menu of the emulator to do the same thing. Please only post a question once and not multiple times as i had to delete the other same posts.

@@C64_and_Amiga_Memories OK

@@C64_and_Amiga_Memories OK

This is a longplay video, i used an emulator to play it and it showcases how it would be completed if you used real hardware. Im not really sure what your asking

@@C64_and_Amiga_Memories I'm also using the VICE emulator. I put the CORRUPTION ROM in the emulator and I get this message-> PLEASE SWAP YOUR DISK 00:41 from there what do I do to start the game? how do I change the disk in the emulator? you did this when you played at minute 00:41 the message-> PLEASE SWAP YOUR DISK 00:41 then you changed the disk and continued the game. how do I change the disk?

Arkanoid, Thexter, Shadow of the Dragon, Space ranger, Space spuds 3-D. (still have the 3-D glasses/goggles). wonder what they're worth. a buck two eighty. Lol.

Nice to hear. I really enjoy making these as im particularly interested in the 1990 - 1994, where i basically had access to an amiga, whether it was mine or friends.

Damn, just noticed that. I think my video compressor made an error and didnt tell me. Im quite sure i didnt record it that way...

Its an Emulator (WinUAE). I made a couple of previously made mistakes when i was recording it. Number 1, i didnt stop the video in order to save it when i loaded a save state. This essentially deletes the unsaved video and starts a new one. Another is used a bad codec, which eventuated into audio sync issues.

Oops, i was specifically talking about my longplay of this game. That aside, Its an original disk image. I dont think it will work in a real C64 Disk drive (if it had any copy protection) but would likely work in my U2+ cart.

@@C64_and_Amiga_Memories WinUAE is the one I use. A good one. Did you know if you hold down the keys End and Pause it toggles warp mode in WinUAE. The Amiga one.

@@Emulous79 Ah, didnt now that. Unfortunately my Surface book 2 does not have a 'pause' key. It does have an end key though :D

@@C64_and_Amiga_Memories The pause key on mine is also the Break key, next to Scroll Lock. Kensington keyboard, lovvie.

Sorry dont know where to find it. I normally use www.mocagh.org/ but thats usually best for rpgs/adventures...

​@@C64_and_Amiga_Memoriesthanks for the answer, I too checked all sources I know but couldn't find it. Well, most of it can be figured out. I'm playing it on WinUAE with a simple Laptop. Do still know how you controlled your robot in the power plant/ball game? For me the game doesn't react to my keyboard/mouse inputs when I enter the minigames. I fear it's joystick controlled but I don't know.

Thanks for that. Its been such a long time since i played the disk version.

Gotta love the folklore

Thanks. Expect more!

Glad you enjoyed it.

I was in the same boat. I had to give it back to my friend at school as his dad kept asking for it back! :D
