The difference between this demo and the commercial version is that the demo doesnt include all the levels the commercial version does. Globulous is a lot like the game Q*bert with a little PacMan thrown in. This demo requires a joystick to play. The demo runs on a Amiga 3000 with KickStart 36.207 and WorkBench 36.69 under AmigaDos 2.0. When uncompressed , this demo has the name GlobulousNTSCDemo so it might not run on PAL machines. ------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, nice. But where do I find GlobulousDemo.(lzh|lhw|zoo|whatever) ? I don't see it on ab20.larc.nasa.gov! - Alexander Elkins (aoe@hpfiaoe.fc.hp.com)

Well, the demo work fine under 1.3 and 2.0 on an '030
machine. But, the game does not. I bought the game,
brought it home and booted it up - it crashed right
at the CP check. Same with turrican, the demos (I and II)
work great, but the games (I at least) crashes right at the
CP check. Well, all I can say is both these comanies lost
a sale to me.

The demo does indeed run on 1.3, as well as accelerated
Amigas. After trying the demo, I found the game on
sale at Software Etc for $14.98, so I picked it up. While
the GAME runs on any platform, the COPY PROTECTION doesn't.
I have to boot in 68000 mode. Hopefully, Project D will
fix this problem. Anyone know?
BTW, in another article someone stated that Globulus and
Turrican (the full versions, not the demos) failed to run
under 1.3. This is not true. The copy protection chokes
on non-68000 processors, but there are no OS related
problems that I have encountered with either game.
Regards,
Chris
