Are you speaking about this: cyber huhn &copy amc soft (2013)

[AMSDOS]

Yep.


The only thing available is the ROM of Cyber Huhn, but no Disc/Tape for Cyber Chicken, even the Crack Disc of Cyber Huhn isn't available.

Cyber Huhn came out as a Prelude to Cyber Chicken as part of the 16Kb ROM Game Contest.


100 Boxes of Cyber Chicken was sold Commercially (I'm guessing that's 50 Tapes/50 Discs), but I've never seen it.

I have Cyber Chicken on disk, number 69/100

There is 3 downloads tabs: Cyber Huhn ROM, Cyber Huhn Floppy crack, Cyber Chicken original floppy dump. And all is explain about hte games versions...
So I don't understand the problem???

So when you click on the ROM for Cyber Huhn, you get a Page and in there is a Link to Download the program. For the Floppy Crack/Original Disk & Tape Page, it's got no Link to let you download, just a name of a File as a Result of the Warning Icon - "No Permission from the Author to permit to downloading files".

Exactly... And that means what that means... cpc-power done the preservation job but can't provide files because the author don't want to share.
So, what is the problem as they respect what TFM or the editor asked???

Nope, they could give Cyber Chicken free now. Since all boxes are sold out. It was very nice from them to block it for a while, but now it should be unblocked.

No, what I'm talking about is the complete lack of FutureOS related stuff, search for it and you get zero hits. And this is a shame, especially since there is an advanced Cyber Chicken version for FutureOS (little more features than the boxed game) called Space Chicken, this has to be freely available (but it's only on my homepage, not there). 
While they got no FutureOS software, they got lots of stuff for CP/M and SymbOS. So what the heck? I once had email contact with one of them, I quite couldn't follow his argumentation.

Whatever, if FutureOS stuff is missing, they are not complete. On the other hand they host lots of unfinished bullshit (which got deleted in the CPCWiki for example).

I don't want to tell them how to do their job, because they DO a great job. Just pointed out my personal opinion. That's all.

So you want them to have futureOS stuff on there but they won't.

I hope their reasoning is good.

I think it's a mistake on Kukulcan's part. It used to be that if an author wanted to forbid downloading of a particular program, every version of that program (original DSK, modified DSK, CDT, etc.) would be prohibited. I made a suggestion to Kukulcan that it should be possible to amend CPC-POWER so only some versions, but not others, should be prohibited.

I think Kukulcan has simply forgotten to tick a box somewhere on his back-end database to say that the 'modified' DSK version of Cyber Huhn (which I assume is the 16K one-level demo version for the CPCWiki competition) can be downloaded.

Meanwhile, it is possible to download the 16K version of Cyber Huhn from NVG.

Well, I don't mind actually. All that crap in on my homepage anyway. But one can't call 'cpcpower' the 'all you need' page if it doesn't cover everything. IMHO it's totally valid to have a group of cpc page covering anything. F.e. cpcwiki, cpcpower, and cpcrulez and maybe others. I'm not such an expert with that topic. 

[TotO]

Have you said to cpc-power that Cyber Chicken can be free to DL? No... So, it will be not.
Is cpc-power peoples known FutureOS? If they don't, and nothing exist on floppy, how they can known to preserve it?
May be you should have to inform them about those things? 

By the way, the work behind cpc-power to preserve the CPC softwares is not simply hosting files, like 100% cpcwiki and 90% of cpc-rulez does.
Before those files exists and can be downloaded from any websites, they have done a hard work to research (and pay) for floppy discs and backup them with special tools to be sure about the integrity, next creating valid images. w/o cpc-power, "no files" on other websites and no software preservation.

Read my posts, all answers to you comments I gave before.

If this is ok to download now, could someone possibly make it available on cpcwiki ?   

[Gryzor]

Anyone and everyone can go into the downloads section and add a file...

Cool, would be nice if someone could upload " Cyber-Chicken " then, now that TFM said it should be unblocked on cpc-power.

I didn't get back into using the Amstrad until last year, so missed out on trying to get the game at the time as didn't even know about it.

Would like to have it on disc for my real cpc's and possibly convert to cart if possible.

Hmm. Ok, I have to ask Marco from AMC soft, just to be on the save side. Will email him later, but it should be all fine. Then I can upload it. [nb]Meanwhile you can play the extended version, called Space Chicken for FutureOS. See my hp.[/nb]

Cool 

Don't worry if you can't, it would be nice if you could for those that missed out getting the game. 

[ukmarkh]

Anyone know where I can download Relentless? 

[Nich]

From CPC-POWER. There are no restrictions on downloading it.

[ukmarkh]

I've tried that site, doesn't work.

[CraigsBar]

I've tried that site, doesn't work.

Attached.... Archive.zip containing the DSK and HFE versions. tested and working

[TFM]

Cool

Got an answer from Marco, he is cool with that. His concern is only that it may not be fair to the people who actually bought the physical copy.


So have some fun...

[robcfg]

I'm perfectly fine with that 


I mean, the difference is the physical copy, as with Orion Prime, so I would feel bad if no one else could play it.
