The dump at CPCPower (https://www.cpc-power.com/index.php?page=detail&num=340) doesn't do anything after displaying the loading screen... :(

Anyone has another dump?

eto

oh... a game that has not been cracked?

Hi,

This dump is perfect, i have trying with the caprice32 emulator (https://github.com/ColinPitrat/caprice32) and all is good, maybe you have a problem with your emulator...

Good play ;)

Well, it's the same with this one... what do you do once the loading screen is displayed?

Ah darn it just needs joystick input :D

On the first sreen, you have a choice to do, "creator" or"play", i have selecting "play" with the joystick, and fire to load the game. After one second, i insert the disk 2 on demand, and the first game's screen is loaded with the train in the station.

After few tests, there are an issue with this dumb, you are right, but i haven't had this bug the first time. If you load the "creator" part in first and back on the first screen in next to load the "play" part, so the game is running, but if you load the "play" part directly without to load the "creator" part in first, so that kill the emulator directly, back to windows... so this dumb (disk 2) isn't perfect as i thought.

PS hehe yes for the joystick input, but you're not totally wrong ;)

I recommend you guys at least TRY (don't try to beat it!) B. A. T. II for MS-DOS.

It's audiovisually stunning and it has a cool "GTA effect" where you just want to wander around without knowing what you're doing.

Completing the game is frustrating according to what I've read due to the typical French Adventure syndrome, but experiencing the game world is worth it.

I wish developers made some better puzzles for this kind of games. On the CPC, for example, Clever & Smart was such a good idea, but it has that "Abbey of Crime" syndrome where even with the solution, you still struggle to apply what you know you  must do. Of course, as a kid I just... wondered around! Only game in history where you can sign bank checks.

(B. A. T. 1 I haven't tried, but it looks cool on the CPC... I wonder if it loads too much between screens or if completing it is possible without help).
