Another 10 downloads have been restored, most have been improved in some form.

In particular, the "Birthday" collection has the entire CD32 Lotus Trilogy rather than just the first game, and the Supercars Collection is now our first PC/Amiga hybrid release (includes Supercars International and the fan made Supercars III for PC). Smaller updates include; F1GP has the latest version of the 2014 patch, and Stunt Car Racer has an infinite boost cheat. Most of the rest feature either select screen music or a separate music player.

As always, the complete list of restored downloads can be found here.

Turrican Anthology

Factor 5 / Rainbow Arts
Uses: WHDLoad by Wepl, slaves: T2, T3, Super Obliteration, T1 Demo, T2 Demo, T3 Demo
Cover and select screen: Steve (artwork by Mr Dream)
CDXL Intro: Derived from the Turrican 3D Trailer and Motion Reel, using Charles-Henri Avelange's Heavy Metal remix of the Turrican 1 Title.
ISO Master: Earok

Even in the middle of the rebuild, I couldn't resist getting this one finished. Testament to the the enduring popularity of the series, this was one of our most requested releases even though RGCD already released a Turrican Trilogy for CD32 years ago.

The key difference between the two releases is we've used the CDTV versions of the first two Turrican games. The grenades in the first game can be launched by pressing RED+BLUE simultaneously, and the high score screens in both games are fully joypad compatible.

Unfortunately since there was no CD version of Turrican 3, we've had to stick with the floppy version there. The gameplay is fully joypad compatible but the high score screen is not. Fortunately, you can press PLAY at any time during the game and it'll reload the game - I know it's not perfect but it's the best we can do for the moment.

We've packed this one with bonuses too - music (Hippo Player's installed with music from all three games), demo versions of all three games are included, as well as the PD Turrican/Pang mashup, "Super Obliteration". And to top it all off - an intro exclusive to this release (Utilising videos from the cancelled Turrican 3D project with a fan made remix as the backing track, more details are on the YouTube video below)

The complete adventures of international thieves Doug Nuts, Dino Fagioli and Donna Fatale on one disc.

Two editions of Big Red Adventure are included - a modified one for stock CD32 owners (some backgrounds have been simplified and the music isn't included, this ensures the whole game can be played through without crashing) and the unmodified, original version for owners of Fast RAM equipped CD32s. Both support saving to NVRam, instructions are included on the disc itself.

Nippon Safes, Inc unfortunately does not saving - however numerous save files are included for your convenience. The two games are fully playable on a regular joypad.

Instant CD32 for Windows

I'm going to be away in Europe for the next three weeks, so there's not likely to be any updates in that time period. (Incidentally, if there's someone in the UK who can let me crash on their couch for a night or two between the 6th and 9th of July, that'd be hugely appreciated)

But I've got one last treat to share, I'm aware that a lot of people struggle with Amiga emulation so I decided to slap together a copy of FS-UAE (A gamer friendly fork of WinUAE) with a couple of batch scripts for making it super simple to play a CD32 game on Windows.
  • As outlined below, just drag the ISO, CUE or ZIP files (such as those from the site) on to the batch scripts.
  • You still need to source your own Kickstart Roms (from Amiga Forever or the like)
  • In theory it should be Pen Drive friendly.
  • Although you can play with a keyboard, Xbox 360 controller or similar is recommended and automatically detected by FS-UAE.
If you intend to do a lot of CD32 gaming on Windows, I strongly recommend doing a full blown install of FS-UAE with the launcher and arcade programs. They're a fantastic way to set up media-center like emulation environment.

Download

Instructions:
  1. Copy CD32 Kickstart Roms from Amiga Forever into FS-UAE/kickstarts
  2. Drag ISO, CUE or BIN of the game you want to run on to either:
cd32.bat <- Stock CD32 configuration, recommended for most 2D games
cd32 turbo.bat <- Fast CD32 configuration, recommended for most 3D games (most unofficial ports using WHDLoad will not work with this)

(Alternatively, if you don't drag a file on to the folder, it'll boot the standard CD32 menu for Language and Storage configuration)

EAB user Kloks has generously donated a series of seven standalone, bonus free CD32 conversions.
  • Aunt Arctic Adventure (Midware, WHDLoad slave by Bored Seal)
  • Duck Tales (Disney)
  • Jumping Jack Son (Infogrames, WHDLoad slave by Harry)
  • Nebulus (Hewson, WHDLoad slave by Wepl)
  • Ninja Warriors (Sales Curve, WHDLoad slave by Mr.Larmer and CFOU!)
  • Prince of Persia (Jordan Mechner and Br0derbund, slave by JOTD)
  • Toki (Ocean, WHDLoad slave by Mr.Larmer, JOTD and Stingray)
Rather than release them one at a time, we've decided to spring all of them at once.

High resolution covers are in the pack, all of them are by Kloks based on Steve's DVD case design (although we've chucked in Steve's own Prince of Persia cover as an optional alternative too).

The ISOs themselves were all created by Kloks, with the sole exception of Duck Tales.

Mutant League Hockey

Ocean / EA (Cracked and mastered by Galahad/Scoopex)
Cover: Steve
ISO Master: Earok

21 years late. Better than never!

Mutant League Hockey was a popular Sega Mega Drive / Genesis game back in 1994. Along with it's cousin Mutant League Football, it inspired a cartoon series that ran for two seasons. As the name implies it's much sillier than most Hockey games, and the gameplay revolves as much around violently attacking the opposing team as it does scoring goals.

An AGA Amiga port was almost completed (with unconfirmed speculation about a CD32 release), however despite extensive coverage by the gaming press at the time it was never released.

Thankfully, the files from the project were supplied to Galahad who in turn finished the game and released it to all of us. Some more of the history (as well as alternative ADF downloads if you intend to play from an Amiga 1200) can be found on Indie Retro News'launch post about the release.

Games originally published by Vulcan software. All ISO masters and CDXL conversions by Cobe.

Two flashy looking Vulcan games from late in the Amiga's life "Final Odyssey" and "The Strangers", together on one disc. Unfortunately they're both sadly keyboard required - easiest thing to do is to order a Lyra 3 adapter and find an old PS/2 keyboard, or to just play on WinUAE.

Covers are included in the download, and it's also bundled with two existing CD32 titles - Litil Divil and Flink, but with intros from the Philips CD-I and Sega / Mega CD versions of the games respectively (these do not include the CDDA files for either game, you may want to source the originals and burn the Cue files but with these versions substituted in).

  • Ability to save games or scores
  • Gamepad support (on some titles where a mouse was previously a requirement)
  • Menu music
  • Additional 3rd party levels
  • Additional languages
  • Additional bonus games
  • Optional OCS versions
The complete list of fixes can be found here.

Now we can get back to focusing fully on our regular releases! Some special things are planned over the next month or two. Stay tuned!

Rise of the Robots: Special Edition

Mirage
Cover: Steve
ISO Master and tweaks: Earok

Rise of the Robots was one of the largest let downs in the gaming history - massively hyped and massively underwhelming. The Amiga version in particular was a disappointment, earning a scathing 5% from Amiga Power. Despite that, it has a surprising number of cult fans (myself included) and for them I present our "Special Edition" with numerous tweaks and fixes - several of them directly resolving issues that were raised in that review.
  • Beginner-Medium difficulty fix: Blocked blows do no damage to either player. This resolves the issue where you can get through most of the game by holding UP+RIGHT+FIRE, and as a consequence makes the game much more challenging.
  • Hard difficulty fix: Any non-blocked blow, regardless of how weak it is, does at least some damage.
  • Mirror match: The red cyborg is now the first enemy you face.
  • Once only: You don't need to face all regular opponents a second time before you face Supervisor.
  • Supervisor: Now available in both training and two player modes.
  • Military vs Military bout: The one and only way to fight without the Cyborg can be triggered from the main menu with the blue button.
  • CDXL intro: An extended 3 minute intro scene featuring the attract sequence from the arcade version.
  • New or adjusted backgrounds: Four of the seven backgrounds have been tweaked, or replaced entirely - including one adapted from the sequel.
  • Adjusted death screens: Some other ports had animated death sequences, so I've included some of the additional frames on the static death screens for Sentry and Supervisor. The additional frames come from the SNES and DOS versions, respectively.
  • Shadows: Turned on by default.
  • Misc: Tweaks to the intro text.

System 3
CD32 conversion featuring code by Psygore, Galahad and Codetapper
Cover + Control Screens: Steve
ISO Master: Earok

What a day for modern CD32 gamers!

Putty Squad is a fantastic and highly unique platformer with a one-of-a-kind history behind it. Developed for PC, Amiga, Mega Drive and SNES, the SNES was the only platform it saw a commercial release for until, decades later, it became a launch title for the PS4!

The Amiga version eventually did see a release to the public, thanks to System 3 for allowing a release and Galahad for volunteering the time, effort and skillset required to master it. However, CD32 owners were clamouring for a release of their own, which comes to you today thanks to Psygore.

Not only does the game now load on a stock CD32, but it also features a CD32 specific control scheme, trainers and high score saving to NVRAM to boot! (16 free blocks required).

BUT WAIT, there's more!

Psygore has also ported another one of John Twiddy's highly well received AGA titles to CD32, which has also received the same love and attention with CD32 specific controls and trainers, as well as our own cover, CDXL converted intro (our first AGA one) and control screen. Some of you would have already worked out the specific title already, but we won't be posting the name of it here and please don't refer to it by name in the comments - it's a secret and a surprise waiting for you in the download ;)

An Amiga "World Cup" of sorts is being run through the English Amiga Board and Lemon Amiga, involving five games where high scores are chased over several weeks until an ultimate winner emerges.

When we heard about this we decided to whip together a quick compilation for CD32 owners. Qualifying round ends on the 12th of December at 12:59 GMT, so make sure you've posted your SWIV score by then (see links above).

This tentatively has approval as an official means to enter the contest, but we'll post here again if for any reason we've had to pull the ISO.
  • The Qualifying Round: SWIV (Slave: Mr Larmer, Harry and Psygore)
  • The Group Round: Lotus III (CD32 trilogy included)
  • The Quarter Finals: SWOS 96-97 (JST Slave: JOTD)
  • The Semi Finals: F1-GP (This is the official EAB/Lemon contest version, albeit with a copy protection crack. Use green or yellow to type in at the password screen, and then red to press enter. Note a keyboard is strongly recommended, especially for turning down the level of detail with ALT+D for a faster framerate).
  • The Grand Finals: The Giana Sisters (Slave: Harry and Psygore)

Merry Christmas 2015

EDIT: The community collection has been updated further since we made this Christmas Post.


Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

The Amiga Community have delivered some big presents this year. First and foremost, WHDLoad is now freeware, and we're all hugely grateful to Wepl for it. What this potentially means for us is that - since we're no longer limited to the CD32 edition of WHDLoad - we can support Fast RAM equipped CD32s with our future releases or re-releases.

Secondly, one of the very few commercial CD32 games to be released lately, Viddi's Tales of Gorluth, is also now freeware! If you haven't already I strongly urge you to look into preordering the sequel. I doubt we'll ever see a CD32 release of the original game due to the memory requirements, but I'll certainly look into it.

Thirdly, Kev McG has posted a bunch of Sci-Fi themed worms levels in the Commodore Amiga Facebook group. Will they ever be included as part of our releases? Quite possibly ;)


But finally, there's a three pack of Christmas releases from us.

1: From Psygore, another "secret" CD32 release of an AGA Platformer. Cover and controls screen by Steve, CDXL conversion by Earok. There's already a jewel-case formatted cover for this on the CD32 covers blog.


2: From Galahad, the beta CD32 release of the high quality PD platformer Solid Gold. Since this is a beta, please do not distribute separately as it'll eventually be replaced by a full blown release.


3: From the wider CD32 community: 101 games and demos in the 2015 CD32 Amiga Community Compilation. Except for Nittamituaki Elves' Dreamland (a last minute addition), all of them are represented in screenshots below. As you can see there's a huge variety of unreleased commercial games, full PD games, demos of upcoming releases, demoscene productions, Atari ST ports, Gloom mods and more.

(All of these have been tested under an emulated environment, not all of them have been tested on a real CD32. Let me know if there are any problems).

Uses: WHDLoad by Wepl, slave by Codetapper

Button 2 hack: Earok

We're very saddened to hear of the passing of Lemmy, the lead singer for legendary heavy metal band Motörhead. For quite some time, Cobe has had a conversion of the Amiga game based on his persona waiting in the wings, and so we thought we'd release it now as a tribute.

The original game notably lacked any actual Motörhead songs in the sound track, due to licencing issues. Thanks to Cobe, our release features the music video to "Ace of Spades" as the intro video. Controls are identical to the original, except blue button activates the superpower move rather than space.

Alternative Intro: Rikonami, converted by Earok

Our last 2015 release! The legendary Bitmap Bros puzzle platformer is now on CD32, thanks to the efforts of Galahad! This is a full blown CD32 port, with custom controls and a proper CD32 loader (no OS Flashes on this one!)

Red: Action
Yellow: Pause
Play: Quit

There's also an alternative intro chucked in, we've converted Rikonami's HD intro to AGA HAM 8 CDXL. We've had to down mix it down to a lower frame rate to maintain as much quality as we can - while it's only 5 FPS it's almost full screen and (for a CDXL video) looks stunning.

We've tentatively tagged this as being SX32 compatible - please let us know if you have any trouble playing it on an upgraded CD32.

Happy New Year!

On the off chance anyone's interested...

There were three games on the CD32 that were released with manual copy protection, all from Team 17. It's a little awkward to read the tiny numbers on the code sheets and enter them with the gamepad (assuming you've even got a copy of the codes handy). So what we're providing here is simply a download of the three games with copy protection disabled.
  • Alien Breed 3D - Copy protection removed completely
  • The Speris Legacy - Copy protection removed completely
  • Worms - Enter anything at the copy protection screen
Other than the minor hack, the three are more or less as they are on their original release - no bonuses or anything else added. The information to make these cracks all come from the Amiga Patch List

Version 1.1 Mega Update!



For a solo release this was already jam-packed with bonuses, but we've got a few more for you!
  • Uses JOTD's brand new CD32Loader! Which gives us:
    • Zero OS flashes, resulting in far shorter load times
    • Keyboard support
      • Play - Pause (Doesn't always work)
      • Forward - Quit race
      • Hold Reverse, then Forward - Quit to menu
      • Green - Skip Language screen (only copy protection was localised)
      • Yellow - Skip Copy protection screen
    • My custom Brazil 1 track (inspired by Buggy Boy's "Offroad") now works!
  • Live action intro upgraded to HAM 8
  • Menu music
  • "Jaguar XJ220: The Demo" for completionists
  • Easter eggs accessible from the menu?

Uses: WHDLoad by Wepl, slave by Mr Larmer and CFOU!
Cover: Steve
ISO Master: Earok

I had this almost ready to go before the rebuild started, so I thought I'd take a break from fixing/enhancing the previous releases and get this out the door!

Jaguar XJ220 Turbo Challenge by Core is a fantastic arcade racer and is quite possibly our most bonus-laden solo release to boot. Features:
  • Latest WHDLoad slave - copy protection screen so no keyboard is required (but useful if you want to tinker with tracks)
  • Two CDXL intros, both the Mega/Sega CD intro and the promo video for the real XJ220 have been included.
  • Since saving is unfortunately impossible, I've chucked in four saves at the world selection screen (after completing England) with fully fixed cars and $65000 in cash (one and two player, automatic and manual).
    • Sixteen audio tracks that can be listened to in a music player (press PLAY to quit out to the music player). Includes all twelve of the tracks from the Mega/Sega CD release plus four fan remixes:
      • "Moody Breeze - Speedy Breeze" by Coups
      • "Autobahn" by Nixdorux
      • "Title" by Odee
      • "Misty Ride on the A23" by Selecta Novel
    • Five exclusive tracks that can be accessed through the "load track" button. They're not meant to be commercial quality, just fun gimmicks. They are:
      • Pukekohe Raceway, replaces England 1
      • Monaco, replaces Canada 1
      • Irohazaka, replaces Italy 1
      • Tiny Track (14 laps!) replaces Germany 1
      • Rollercoaster, replaces France 1
    (There's actually six tracks, the sixth is one based on Buggy Boy's "Offroad" and occupies the Brazil 1 slot but it unfortunately doesn't seem to work on a real CD32. Also please bear in mind that the disc is a bit slow loading!)

    Uses: WHDLoad and Slave by Wepl
    Cover and ISO Master: Kloks

    Approximately 20% of our visitors come from Germany - the third largest group after the UK and the US - so we're well overdue for a German language release.

    Our first German-language only release is courtesy of Kloks. Tony & Friends In Kellogg's Land is a charming platformer from Factor 5, the developers behind franchises like Turrican and Rogue Squadron - and so unsurprisingly this is one of the extremely rare "promotional" titles that turned out to be good.

    A (cracked) English version of the game actually does exist, however it's incompatible with the current WHDLoad slave. As such, a CD32 version of the English translation is on our most wanted list.

    As a reminder, some of our releases have German language options such as Flashback and Dune II. If you'd like to see any of our previous releases updated with German language support - or any language for that matter - please let us know.

    • Kick Off 3(Slave: Stingray)
    • Goal! (Slave: Stingray)
    Even though it's not by Anco, we felt Goal was an appropriate addition due to being a Dino Dini game.

    Unfortunately, with the exception of the Kick Off 1 and Extra Time, the load times for most of the games are very long. Also, in some of the games you need the keyboard to be able to sub - if one of your players gets injured and you don't have a keyboard, that's it, you're stuck.

    Kick Off 3 is the original OCS version, unfortunately the AGA version requires a keyboard to start so I went with the original.
