I'm not sure is it abandonware or not, and is a non-english game good for AB?

It's a Polish game, Double Dragon style with some country specific humor. It's in Polish language and I do not know about any translated edition ...

Errr... hold on just a moment here!

It's been a really long time since I talked last to Kosta about something like that, but at that point we both agreed that if the non-english language doesn't effect the gameplay, then it's perfectly OK. So if it's an action game with only a few words (like save, start new, quit) in a foregin language and the rest is actually without a language, then it's not a problem. Some examples of that would be the WEST ADVENTURE, TOUGH GUY (OK, only the setup is in some exotic language) and PERESTROIKA (there might be more) and Kosta was OK with all of them.

But if it's a game where you need to understand what is happening (like an adventure game - something like Black Sect) then it has to be in English.

It's action - I'l try to give You some more screenshots from it soon. Maybe even upload it ... dissidents could look, try and make their minds ;)

EDIT:
I've found something better than screenshots video on YouTube. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t1Npt5qCZg) It's from Amiga version.

It looks like a non-commercial game, maybe freeware. If so. then it would fit quite better to reloaded.org in my opinion...

According to Moby Games, it was released by Mirage Software in 1994 for Amiga & Dos.

Wasn't aware of that. Will keep it in mind for the future.

I was aware of that but made a mistake: Since he mentioned that it is in Polish I thought it was evident that you cannot play without knowledge of that language - so much for syllogisms.
