The usual disclamer: This game has been modified on my free time and is available for free. You are not allowed to sell or 'adapt' it in any way, shape or form!
Here is the 4th 'Special Edition' release from the French Gemdos Crew, with one of the last commercial releases from the ST era.
This updated version is based upon Vectronix 'v2.59 beta' release, with some addtional fixes from Anatsu Romara release, and several new fixes:
Fixed an error when the game is looking for a non-existing BIRTH9.LBM file at the end of a new game intro: added a fake one (in fact, a copy of BIRTH8.LBM) so there is no error message anymore (FGC fix).
When playing from hard disk, the game won't ask you to insert the game disk in order to load the Hall of Fame (FGC fix).
The intro logo will appear faster, allowing faster main menu display (FGC fix).
There are now 10 slave slots available in the save menu instead of 4 (Anatsu Romara fix).
When the game is launched from hard drive, the C: partition is selected by default when saving/loading a game instead of drive A: (FGC fix).
The Game\View replay option is now available by default, not only after launching a spaceship (Anatsu Romara fix).
LBM pictures have been optimized from 320*256 (the extra 56 lines were blank)Â to 320*200, slightly reducing file size and loading times (FGC fix).
Vectronix's World\Cheat menu can now be accessed without the need to type a password (but don't use it, it will probably crash your game!).
Added fixes by Anatsu Romara for bad screen addresses in the _text routine.
Game Debug mode can be toggled on/off with F10 in Vectronix's cracktro.
Many unused parts of the code have been removed, making the game executable slightly smaller.
Includes never seen before (on the ST) French translation based upon the French DOS version with many text corrections (work in progress) and hacked fonts with additional characters.
All debug symbols/labels from the original release of the game have been re-added in the ASM source file.
The game will need 1 Mb of RAM to run, just like the original, so no stupid multi-megabytes of RAM requirements...
