Emerald Hunt

[Stiggy]

Hi, im looking for an old game called emeral hunt. u were a little bulldozer and had to collect the emeralds. not much more to it reali, i ust to have it on a floppy but my dog chewed the disk :(
Cant find it anywhere now :(
Any help is much aprecieated

[GraveDigger]

is this for Destop PC or hand held PC?

[Stiggy]

For DOS.

[DonCorleone]

Seems to be a hard one. I can't find anything 'bout the game, either. At least during a search of...uhm... five minutes. But I will search further...

[Frodo]

Is this the game you are looking for? - http://www.evolutionary.net/hunt-info.htm

It doesn't seem to be for Dos. You can get a level editor for Windows, but the game itself is for Handheld pcs or Pocket Pcs. :huh:

[Stiggy]

That is it but there was a dos version many years ago. it didnt have the water that the Mobile version does. I cant find the DOS one anywhere :(

[Stiggy]

anyone had any luck?

[Morrin]

Damn this is tough one. Cannot find it either. Now it bothers me. :D This must be rare one. So it's definetly called emeral hunt?

[chainsoar]

If you'd been looking for the handheld version, I could give you hundreds of links, but I'm not turning up any results for a DOS version at all.

[WolverineDK]

hmmmm ok, I will punch out links on the whole Boulder Dash affair.

I hope this helps a little, and you can always ask if somebody knows it, at the first site, or artsofts site.

Emerald Hunt sounds like a Emerald Mines clone, and well Emerald Mines, is a Boulder Dash Clone . But ok I could be wrong, but the pictures of the game reminds me of a Boulder Dash clone like game.

Working for some months as a slave, half of your wealth or you first son seems acceptable for me.

[BeefontheBone]

Or perhaps something from your home in the Dumpy :)

[csharpmajor]

Sorry if I'm reviving a dead topic here, but I have this game if you still want it :)

[The Fifth Horseman]

When you have the game and can supply it, the revive is absolutely justified. :)

This thread (http://www.abandonia.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=2908) has instructions on the upload procedure. :ok:
If you're familiar with FTP usage, you can skip it. Just make sure the archive is cleaned out of old savegames/highscores, and PM the boss (Kosta (http://www.abandonia.com/forum/index.php?showuser=2)) for the server login.

Okay, thanks! I just realised it's sitting in the same folder as two other games so I'll have to separate the files somehow... :wallbash:

[The Fifth Horseman]

Happened to me a few times too. By-date sorting can help in these cases. ^_^

[Stiggy]

csharpmajor if you can provide me with this game u are a living legend. and we shall discuss your prize

[csharpmajor]

Uploaded! (I think)

I was going to take screenshots but I couldn't find a program that could manage. So it's just the zip file (oh yeah, I found an ancient zip file from 1990 that saved me the trouble of hunting down all the supporting files ;D).

The level and sprite editors are also included, as well as two crappy custom levels and a saved game. I wasn't sure whether to delete them but I thought since the game is also from 1990, maybe they were part of the original distribution so I kept 'em.

Hope this helps! Prize unnecessary ;)

Edit: Do you want a review of the game as well?

[The Fifth Horseman]

Writing a review is optional, but appreciated. If you want to do that, talk to Kosta.

[Stiggy]

Where is the file?

[The Fifth Horseman]

On Abandonia's FTP server.

On Abandonia's FTP server.

Hey,
I think this is the game I've been looking for for a long time now.
Is it still available? I havent been able to find it on the site anywhere.
Any help appreciated :)

[lenora]

How does one access the FTP server?

[Luchsen]

The FTP server is for staff members who need to access it. If you want to review the game, then say so and someone will send you the archive. :)

[csyu1]

Can someone please send me the archive of Emerald Hunt?

I've been searching all over the internet for it, and can't seem to find a copy. Thank you!

[marko river]

Can archive be found? I looked it on FTP after seeing this topic (http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/showthread.php?t=29289) but couldn't find it.

[ross232]

I would also love a copy of this game. Can someone send me a link to the archive?

If anyone was still looking for this game, and has notifications for this thread set up (unlikely) it's FINALLY live on the site, after 5 months of nagging.
