Shadow of the beast has landed. Yeah yeah I know, crappy game, crappy conversion etc. But it was something on my hard drive for a long time and I wanted to get it out! Besides, two eldritch the cat games in a row in the news page, yay! Lastly, I really wanted to see it running on my TT to see if it plays on a reasonable speed (it is sort of playable!).

Anyway, the horror stories for this game's code will go on and on and on till the end of time. Here's my experience: Firstly, the game wouldn't work on a 030 machine at all (yay for crappy programming!). Then, after I got it to work, it somehow corrupted the display on the Falcon only (setting resolution in the rasters code, how clever, NOT!). You can still see these glitches on the loaders, but they don't affect the game too much, so I thought I'd leave those (too bored to patch those ;)). I think I might start a thread on the forum just for this. Anyway, download and have a laugh!
