hehe it's funny too see you write it instead of Kosta

[Taulin]

While the graphics are pretty much the same, I really miss the great music found in the Amiga version. It was the first game I ever played that had the music perfectly blend between themes as you traveled the levels by dropping and starting instruments.

Thanks for offering this game, though! It is still a blast to play!

I remember playing this game on the Amiga with my kid brother.

[Lord_Scather]

yeah...Bitmap Brothers RULED on amiga. Simply every game from them had a fantastic soundtrack. I remember we looped them to tape through an equalizer and played that stuff on birthday parties........

Chaos Engine' soundtrack is great, prsnly I liked Speedbal 2 better

And Gods was great, too......

The good ol' Amiga was a fine machine in GFX and sound.....*sniff*

miss the old times... :cry:

I STILL play this game with my kid brother :))

He comes over, I wheel out the Amiga 1200 and away we go. Just like the old days only 12 years later. Only problem now is my old digital joysticks are starting to play up - it's hard to find replacements :(

[SoothSayer]

AMIGA RULEZ i have a 1200 too with dozens of games and when i want to remember the old times i play there.Great olt times :ok: :Titan:

[Broanoia]

i just use mega drive (aka genesis) joypads for my old amiga. it only works as a 2 button pad though, but still the easiest way to replace any knackered old controllers.

[RaVe-N]

AGH! I remember playing this game, but I can't make it work!!
WAGH! I'm using dosBox but for some reason as soon as it gets to it's loading screen it just freezes... Man... I so wanna play this damned game! :cry:

[M4V!]

i know this title as Soldier of Fortune on Nintendo SNES.
Lot of fun ;]

[Elon Yariv]

I heard some where that there is a version that you can play with the mouse!! I've once found a download of an other vesion I think it was called AAA or something like that!! Anyne knows where I can find this version? :cry:

[Andrea]

AA version yea it changs the colours of game objects it sux it takes 2 mins to load at start its equal to the normal version but requires 3 disks i have if u want adf.format
i still play chaos engine i finish it every time chaos rules.

[strangelove]

One of the things I really liked about this game was the victorian steampunk backstory and characters. Without them I doubt I would have enjoyed it much, it's still not a great game in my book but is easily twice as good if you have a friend on hand to help. I think I played this on the ST (could have been Amiga though) and then the SNES and whilst it isn't the kind of game I normally go for it is worth playing simply because the Bitmap Brothers were genius and whilst this isn't their finest game it's still perfectly enjoyable for mindless carnage.

Is there anyway you can use a plug/play joypad with this game or keys only?

It does have joystick support (in setup)... Don't know if plug&play devices will be recognised...

[Guest]

^ Thankyou very much for your help. No,unfortunately plug `n` play joysticks arent supported :tai: Like many of the people above, I used to play this on an amiga 500 using a nes controller pad. Such a shame I cant now but at least the game seems to run fine :-)

[AYM]

Hi, there!

I have a problem:
I never get this passwords. They should show up after the equippment screens but they don´t...
Is it because I don´t have the copy protection code?
But the text says that it´s cracked, though...

But nevertheless: A great game, I used to play it on my Amiga.

Greets!

You can still play it on Amiga (You'll need amiga emulator for that - it's called WinUAE).

I personaly like more SNES version of this game (no download time :))

There is a utility to make any joystick/gamepad work with those games.

Try this... (http://members.home.nl/mabus/files/jtk374en.rar)


@ AIM - If I remember correctly, you'll get passwords only after you complete the world. (4 levels if I'm correct :))

[Averre]

Hi all, i've been looking at this site for awhile now and boy has it brought back some memories, it's nice to see that people are working on keeping these games alive.

I loved this game for the Genesis, it's a blast to go through alone, killing off your support character and not paying for him to come back. :D

[Guest]

Two player mode of this game is useless. Any two characters don’t move
independently of each other so one character ends up dragging another into the line of fire. I always remember the two player mode on the Amiga version being a tad twitchy but this versions beyond a joke.

[thatmexicanguy]

This game's an absolute (sp?) blast to play, especially with another player! Love the RP elements with the different characters and stats.

[colaps]

Is there any music on this game.
I play on pc!

[The Fifth Horseman]

Are you using DosBox to run the game?

[/b]
No, beacouse dos box block game

[The Fifth Horseman]

What exactly happens when you try to run the game in DosBox? Detailed description, please, including any and all error messages that result.

[Blackrabbit]

Configure "xpadder" to mimic the keys. useful for lots of dos games. Google it and install for joystick fun on retro bits with less hassle than joystick config menu doesnt work fun.

[Guest]

I used to play this game on my Amiga 600 alot back in the day. I downloaded the PC version today and run it through DosBox. Works fine for me but there are no sound effect whatsoever only music.
Any help appreciated.

[Gary_Oak]

One of the best games ever made!

[BranjoHello]

Me likey! :woot:
Tried this on SMD2 too, DOS version has better graphics.

[Hoppit]

I played this to death on my Amiga. It led me to a lifelong love of the steampunk genre.

[Hoppit]

Are there sound effects? All I have is music.

[DARKGuy]

SMD2? what's SMD2?

I had a demo version of this game, but the controls were so weird I couldn't play it at all. I'm glad they made a J2ME conversion and I could play it on my old sony ericsson W580i :D

[BranjoHello]

SMD2? what's SMD2?


Sega Mega Drive 2, to Yankees also know as Sega Genesis, best game console EVER. :hypocrite:

[guest]

Hey, I'm having a small problem with the controls on this game- it seems to consider the attack and special attack keys to be the same.

I've remapped it multiple times, but whatever keys I set it to, pressing the attack key for any length of time beyond a light tap executes a special attack.

I'm playing it in DOSbox 0.73.

[Lazy Lion]

I have the same problem with the shoot and special key being the same and indeed there are some sound effects, but of all things firing a gun doesn´t produce an effect.

Also it´s sad that two players can´t play on one keyboard.

Oh well, seemed like a nice game

[Dave]

Try Alt instead of CTRL.
The special key (CTRL) works like normal fire when you have finished special weapons.

[The Fifth Horseman]

Now on GOG
