If I've been using a cracked version, and if it indeed it is to be blamed for this lapse, it's because I hadn't found an original or an image file of the original for the occasion. Tell you what - send me a full, original version of the Amiga disk as .adf and I'll correct what needs to be corrected. My e-mail address can be found in the sidebar, although of course you need to drop the obvious bits.FRGCB Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16754639927704915007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514691251207559863.post-81317726613733564922016-10-17T22:18:57.376+03:002016-10-17T22:18:57.376+03:00this review gets the amiga version totally wrong.
...this review gets the amiga version totally wrong.<br /><br />It looks like you are using a cracked version where there is no music (if i read your comments right - it is there but simply not in-game) and the shields dont look right. You also mention missing rear cannons which simply isnt correct.<br /><br />Scoring it below the ST version is frankly insane, given they share the same graphics and much of the game engine (except where the amiga enhancements are)....

I thought on doing a comparison of Encounter about a year ago, but somehow completely missed the existence of the 16-bit versions, so I didn't think it back then that it really had much potential in being an interesting comparison. I'll put it on my to-do list, but I'm not sure when, if ever, will I get to it. If you read the comments section in Barbarian, you would know that I'm currently contemplating on leaving the blog. I might still come back after my summer break, but the break could be longer than previous year, and my writing pace could be much decreased. In any case, your comments are noted, so thanks for the interest.FRGCB Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16754639927704915007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514691251207559863.post-11903773856768045292015-05-23T05:49:52.092+03:002015-05-23T05:49:52.092+03:00What about Encounter by Paul Woakes of Novagen (Sa...What about Encounter by Paul Woakes of Novagen (Same guy who did Mercenary: Escape From Targ)? It was released for the Commodore 64 and Atari 8-bit computers in 1984 and later ported to the Amiga and Atari ST in 1991. The C64 version may be the first game to use the Novaload turbo loader (Novagen was the company that made Novaload.).
