Greetings. I'm having trouble with the Cubus file available at the abcfd20.
larc.nasa.gov: I believe it's incomplete. Has anyone gotten this file to work?
I get the title screen, but then an error slams me. It looks cool otherwise.

Unpacked it, clicked on the icon and away it went :-) I have a pal Amiga 1000, 1.5meg, nothing fancy. Tried it on a 3000, from memory, didn't want to run correctly, or looked strange on screen. Anyway, in answer to your query, works fine on a 1000, so the archive is sound. > > !!!!!

Growl. That might be the problem then. I'm have an Amiga 3000 and all I get is the title screen. Something about CRC check failing in the Instruments area when I LHunARCed it. :) This happens a lot. Find I can't run PD things that will work fine on older Amigas. Well, thanks for at least confirming the archive is sound. Sigh. Bye. :) !!!!! T E M P U S F U G I T !!!!!

I don't understand your problems making Cubus run. Originally we developed it on an A1000 /2.5MByte and tested it several months. (Tuning the difficulty was the biggest problem :-)) Then, in march 91 I upgraded to an A3000 and some minor changes were necessary to make it run under 2.0 But now, there shouldn't be any problems on a A3000 (my configuration: A3000 PAL, 2+4MByte ram, KS Version 36.143, no fancy extras, too :-)) Was your problem unpacking Cubus on an A3000 or running the successfully unpacked program? When Cubus starts, it reads all data files and EXPECTS them to be correct. If some file is scrambled, Cubus should exit immediately. I assume, you don't hear any background music, do you ? I would further like to know what expansions you have on the A3000 and what commands appear in your startup-sequence, if your problem is running Cubus. I packed it with Amiga lharc v1.30 and don't know, if there're differences to UNIX lharc. Finally, if there are enough requests, I consider releasing a NTSC version, too. This requires adjusting all screen positions and modification of the title and select screens, so this may take several weeks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fred Bayer, Artilleriestr. 21a, W8000 Munich 19, Germany email: bayerf@tuminfo3.informatik.tu-muenchen.de ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I downloaded cubus from ab20 & it works fine. Only problem is I CANNOT do the 3d mental rotation stuff (i.e. I can't play for toffees !!) Cubus is well worth having though, nice graphics etc. Paul -- = Paul Day, Centre for Connection Science, Computer Science Dept, = = University of Exeter, Exeter, Devon, England. = = BITNET: paul2@dcs.ex.ac.uk@ukacrl | JANET: paul2@uk.ac.ex.dcs = ========= I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, you can't prove anything =======

Can someone point me to where I can find this game? I've looked all over and could not locate it.

Well, yes, it's on abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov...then CD "amiga/games/action". It's that last "action games" directory that really threw me. Cubus an action game? :) Oh, well...that's where I found it. It's got excellent graphics and weird music, but is practically impossible to play, since once a piece falls in a frontal section of the playing field you can't see what's behind it... GROWL. Have fun, though. !!!!! T E M P U S F U G I T !!!!!
