known in the uk as switchblade 2.
I see it's on cpcrulez and cpc-power.
was this being developed by Elmar, or is this a hack made with prehistorik 2 or similar's engine?
...whaaa? Have never even heard of this back in the day..!
Is there a downloadable dsk on cpc-power or just the screenshots? I'm mobile so can't check this at the moment. The graphics seem pretty much old-CPC, judging on the colors used...

yes
yes
yes
all of them!
;D
I think/remember it is a hack from (super)Cauldron3 which is also then an updated prehistorik2 engine (but without the many PLUS stuff)... wich Switchblade 2 graphics poured inside.
Who hacked this ? Hermol is that you?
(c'est toi hermol qui à fait ce hack ?)
The switchblade sprites may be somewhat too big perhaps.
While Prehistorik 2 is quite sluggish due to too much stuffs (animated backgrounds, extra PLUS features and so on) I guess supercauldron is a bit faster/betterly implemented/optimised.
The question would be : what gameplay for what game ?
Could it simply be a switchblade2 version using this engine ?
Hermol recently did a "news" with this at CPCrulez :

voici le Striderblade (http://cpcrulez.fr/GamesDL_hack/index.php?lang=&crack=&list=&rech=strider)
: je vous mets une preview , une petite ébauche de 2 niveaux (Face A/B).
Le moteur de ce jeu est basé sur les routines du Préhistorik 2 d'Elmar (ELMsoft) Krieger, le tout avec des gfx de Musicman.
Sorry I don't have time for the translation.
oops, perhaps Prehistorik2 after all, and for plus too, but obviously the graphics are CPC old ports from the ST version.
Pffff... False alarm, then :P

Well, if someone want to take the job...

Oh wow, this was only uploaded today!
Very beta, but looking good...
Well I don't mind that it is a hack.
it's nicely done.

On CPC the colors are still the same, they changed on emulators though :laugh: Sorry, couldn't resist ;)
This forum has grown so large that you can easily get lost in some of its secret, well hidden parts just to discover things that were there for years :D
I think I can make the forum serve random threads on the home page :D
