The game whizz is actually this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuzh_NkiPsI but looking with worser quality, music differs and stuff since it's a port and all. (To play this game you will need DOSBOX) To start the game go into the whizz directory and typ in "GO" WHIZZ WORD PROTECTION When asked by the program to enter a word from the page-lined numbers given, use this sheet to find the required word. If you get asked for words that aren't on this page, don't worry, you can exit the game and try again till it asks you a word on here. Page line word 1 1 2 loading 1 2 3 disk 1 5 5 install 1 5 8 driver 1 8 4 lines 1 9 1 device 1 6 1 editor 2 2 1 amiga 2 2 5 button 2 5 2 preset (the manuel says so) 2 7 2 spin 2 9 5 played 3 2 5 screen 3 3 2 world 3 4 5 clock 3 5 2 picture 3 5 5 under these are all the codes that were on my manuel , I don't even have the other ones! contact me if you have them/if you have questions! also I deleted gold.avi which was a video file (commercial) of 50mb while the game itself is only 1-2 mb making it easier to download. but you can watch the video here if you want : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rq6v0X9Jg_g tips: F1 = break F2 = resume game space + any arrow key = tornado twist any arrow key + space = jump space + any arrow key + space = jump + tornado twist if you can control this then you will able to beat the game easy! the cheat "GO pulp fiction" does not work infact you could typ in "GO FUCK YOURSELF" to start the game, it will work aslong as it start with "GO" |
pretty neat, thanks a bunch
you seem to know what's the deal with the game, don't you want to write a review for it? |
Np
no problem :P
now I can put another game into favorites :max: did you play/like the game :)? uhm...I guess I could review it / give screenshots. I'll work on it :) |
yeah i did, must say that getting usede to controls with arrows in this isometric is pretty hard at start. but the game was kinda fun platformer
btw, if you want to do that review don't forget to make some screenshots too so people know how it looks like too=P but no hassle |
"The race between Whizz the bunny with hot air balloon against a rat with a zeppelin.
though the game doesn't really show the rat often, the first intro cut scene shows that the rat is cheating by shooting with his shotgun against the hot air balloon of whizz the bunny with the hat. making him fall onto the ground. he must find his way through out the land in search for another hot air balloon. whizz has a mushroom as a health bar, collect flags and gems for points and gets another life if he gets 10000 points. he has a spinning attack which can kill some of the enemies and transform them into mushrooms which can add in his mushroom health bar. unfortually to perform such a spinning attack he uses health from the mushroom health bar and the enemy can drop a blue mushroom instead of a red one. the blue mushrooms are bad for whizz as they do damage when he eats them. not only that, but some enemies are even immune to his spinning attack! his spinning attack can destroy walls if he has collected boxes that enable him to destroy certain walls, the more boxes he gets the more walls he can destroy with his spinning attack! you can instantly lose your lives if you don't pay attention, when an enemy walks into you, it will drain away all your health until you either step aside or die. the time limit to find the hot air balloon makes anyone worried who is stuck into a part of the level where he/she can't figure out how to advance and forced to take another way and luckily there are many ways to complete the level. many alternative ways to find the hot air balloon, the levels are puzzles in many ways solvable, many ways have more bonuses then the other or some are just faster. with some unexpected hidden passages & objects placing you near to the finish. hidden areas that you will give you many points and extra time and objects that you stumbled upon that need a trough investigation to what it’s purpose is. a platform puzzle game! the game is quite generous when it comes to lives. you have a total of 12 lives if I'm not mistaken which are mostly continues and because you also get lives by gaining 10000 points odds are you be able to beat the game if you have enough time. unfortually there is no way to save the level you are in so if you quit the game you will have to do it al over again. there are in total 8 levels which recycles 4 level designs twice. the graphics are eye candy and well designed except for some minor details but it's forgivable. the music is amazing for it's time, while other games had little to no music this game has a music theme for every level, so there's little reason to mute dosbox as the sound effects blend into the background music of the game. The mysterious but slow gameplay (you will need to press ctrl+f12 to make sure the frame skip goes faster) enjoyable graphics, the puzzle that can be solved in many ways which would make replaying a satisfying experience for the curious gamer who wants to know every alternative way to end the level, enjoy!" |
awesome, going to put it on the website updates queue :kosta:
|
this game has a sad lack of music...

i did, i will scale it down fixing the aspect ratio
(although it makes me wonder how did uchazu manage to put this into this re-scaled version with different ratio=P) |

I made the pictures in windows movie maker, my media player/VLC player bugged on me. I made a video about the whole game till the ending http://uchazu.blip.tv/file/2223190/ even there it bugs on me :( anyways I think I fixed both players, would you want bigger resulution of the pics I made or? |
yes. And I chose soundblaster for regular sound.
The sounds work great, but after the intro there's no music :( |
there is music, you are not suppsoed to select "CD audio". do you have the actual cd? i believe not
uchazu: send the pictures in the original resolution big as you made them, that would be awesome. then i will modify it. also, nice video there btw by fixing aspect ratio i mean that when you scaled them down, vertical side got scaled less than the horizontal one, which produced a picture that is "stretched" |

Whizz (1999)
Not for sale first-hand. Not supported by the owners Flair/Microvalue. No ESA member involved. Hence APPROVED. __________________ Uchazu, I removed the download link from your post: Quote:
I'm afraid we can't use those screenshots, nor any ones taken from video, we need original images. It's very easy to get them by pressing Ctrl+F5 in DOSBox Anyway thanks for contributing an archive and a review in such a short time! :OK: We still need good screenshots. |
i'm taking care of everything, even screenshots. uchazu, there's no need to pm anyone
also i see no reason why remove the link and reupload it to the server after it's been already uploaded in here. that's just being nazi there. the rule was made so users wouldn't post games that are protected, i would say if it were are you bored? go play soccer |
Nah, Japo is right. This rule was also made to help the offers mods with keeping this forum clean. It might be all be ok - no ESA, game approved and so on - in this case, but we shouldn't make excemptions from the rule, as this could soon become common behaviour if we did. That would really mess up this forum.
Nice job, anyway.. :) |
thanks :)
The search term "whizz" affected 0 results. it still bothers me :( is it a bug or does it take time before it's uploaded? |
wait, i haven't put it up yet, everything has it's time don't worry =P

Astatin
Astatin a game ported over from the amiga
http://www.lemonamiga.com/?mainurl=h...hp%3Fid%3D1547 I have the dos version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vhw7LLMgy2w but after playing/recording it, I wonder if it is even abandonia worthy. or in other words, who is even interested in this puzzle game q: |
Is more important to know if it is abandoned or no. MAybe it's crap, may not. But if it is abandoned, I think Abandonia has a place for it. Not only different people have different tastes, but Abandonia's ideal is to preserve abandoned games. I don't think that the quality (or lack of it) can determinate if it should be preserved or not

I actually want to specify some things first. In order to ease and organize the process of offering, in this forum there is one thread per user (this means we'll merge your threads). In that thread you can offer all the games you want to and we'll evaluate them, approve or disapprove them. Next is the actual contributing. The reviews, screens and archives are all uploaded on the FTP by the user himself. I'll send you a PM that will show you how. You write the review using a text editor like notepad or MSWord and upload it the same way as the archive. Screens are uploaded preferably in a zipped archive also. Anyways Astatin is [APPROVED] |
another thing, when you take screenshots, simply press CTRL+F5 in dosbox while playing the game. then your screenshots will appear in capture directory

not the archive since that one is the actual game... _r.u.s.s. thanks :3 |
a problem
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vhw7LLMgy2w
I made a video about this game, and I was offering it but reviewing this game is really hard for me, and I will try to explain why http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p...n/logo_000.png to explain this game I will need to use pictures http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p...atin_009-1.png the game itself is a puzzle game. now this is the first level. this might look weird but a simple explanation and you are all set. http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p...atin/12345.jpg the numbers indicate what their value are. so replace the symbols with numbers and it becomes a whole lot easier. take the brown symbol which means 1 which means it is the newest ting that has been put there. unlike the blue symbol next to it which has a value of 2. it became blue because another symbol got next to it within a 1 square range (+). it would not have changed if it got diagonally to the older symbol that was already there. now the game is to get the exact same screen as the right one. by clicking on the left screen you get a symbol, if you click it again it disappears. if you click next to it, the symbol that was already existing next to it gets a value+1 making it change symbol. http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p...statinlvl1.gif it’s not too hard when you understand it, in fact you could basically solve a lot because there’s a patron to it. when you know this, it’s easy. however there’s a problem. http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p...statin_007.png Now I thought it was a bug until the game actually requested me to put an alone standing symbol with a value of 2. this is something that makes the game almost impossible. I know how to put such a symbol, but as you can see it takes 4 clicks. http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p...statin/bug.gif this alone is very time consuming, the only way I can beat levels is to know what to do, the thinking time is just ridiculously short in comparison to the levels I beat before. this is still basic but later on it only gets harder and you get less time to solve it. now that I have 2 ways of psychics I’m confused and I don’t know how to solve it. should I use this bug to complete the level, is it required for me to use it? the bug itself is very confusing, while it’s not really a bug because it was programmed that way, I see it as a bug because there’s no logical explanation to how it’s psychics are… at this point , it’s too hard for me, I can’t beat the game, too complicated for the wrong reasons. the game doesn’t even give me enough time to solve it. the only way you will beat this game is if you studied it’s psychics, figure out the bug thoroughly make a screenshot,…print it out, change the symbols into numbers. solve the puzzle, make a patron of how you should click and then go play that level click as fast as you can because the time limit will be short. this wouldn't be such a problem with dosbox having the option to lower cycles but damn!, not even with lowered cycles could I get to complete this game. you have to take a screenshot of the level, print it out, change the symbols into numbers ,then , solve it THEN memorize it how to click and get back to that level and pray that you are done with the puzzle in time. |
About the game ASTATIN
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ct9IVTAYDQw
There is no way to complete the game...well atleast not the logical way. The game is bugged and I think it's a good idea to delete it from my files. Though maybe it's because the files I have from the game aren't good. or it's actually still abandonia worthy xD? It could be that there's a version out there that is actually good. anyways I could make a review of it and give dosbox shots, but is this al useless without the actual game or still welcome for if you guys find the better version? that you guys use the bugged version and replace it once you get the better version? |
