Title: Die You Vicious Fish
Post by: Devlin on 12:47, 20 October 18
Does anyone have an original copy(with loading screen) of "Die You Vicious Fish" they'd be willing to dump?


All the versions I've found online have been sans loading screen.
Seems like the loading screen was cut for whatever reason probably to save disk space when copying from tape.


I'd be mega appreciative if anyone can help in this matter.

I've tried most of the images from the usual places, all of them are missing the title screen - it's why I'm asking for an original re-dump as opposed to what's already online.

Got to admit, had to google this one.


@Devlin (http://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=389) , have you tried the GoodCPC romset?

Yep, both images in the GoodCPC 3.1415 package are missing the loading/title screen.
the game was originally distributed on tape - the only tape image i've found online however is also missing the loading/title screen.

Good luck with your search! It seems even STE has no idea where to find the loading screen (http://www.zee-3.com/pickfordbros/softography/index.php?game=17)!
It would be interesting to see if he would be willing to create a new loading screen for this game, or at least try to recreate what he remembers it looking like! His recent KNIGHTLORE C64 loader was (as usual) brilliant!

I was in contact with Ste prior to this, to let him know I was on the hunt - and I pointed him this way when I made the thread.

Die You Vicious Fish (and Alstrad) were also re-released by the Adventure Workshop, on both tape and disc, but I've never seen either of those versions out in the wild, sadly.
