Quest for the Time Bird Special Edition

The usual disclamer: This game has been modified on my free time and is available for free. You are not allowed to include it in paid "hard drive compilations" sell or 'adapt' it in any way, shape or form! If you paid for this game you got scammed, ask the seller for a refund at once!

Here is an adventure game from Infogrammes based upon a famous French comic book:

• The game files have been extracted from their non-GEMDOS floppy disks.

• The data files depack/load routines have been modified with the use of AI to work from hard drive.

• The game load/save routines have been modified to save to a standard file instead of floppy disk tracks.

• Available in 4 languages: French (original version), German, English and Italian.

Download French, German, English, Italian hard drive versions (last update: 08/08/2026).

Dowload main executable source code (last update 08/08/2026).

This is my first attempt at ripping a game released on those annoying non-GEMDOS disks (ie. disks that don't display any file when opened from GEM desktop, or display corrupted directories). This one used a non-standard FAT with 20 bytes per entry instead of 32 for disks 2 & 3.

Limitations:

• The game needs 1 Mb of RAM to run.

• Runs on Falcon030 and even CT60, but without any sound.

• The hostile encounters that happen when you lose your mounts and travel by foot crash the game and are disabled for now.

• Moving the mouse cursor on the map is extremely imprecise (original game issue).

• Depending on what was displayed on screen when saving, the saved games sometimes don't load correctly and crash the game (original game issue). To be on the safe side, save only just after entering a region (this is always safe).

• Due to code changes, the game won't run from floppy disks anymore.
