Title: Elvira Mistress of the Dark (prototype) by 'DevilMarkus'
Post by: ComSoft6128 on 09:51, 27 January 23

From CPCPOWER:
"Attempt to convert the game of the same name created by Accolade. Playable demo scheduled in 2007 and discontinued in 2009."

Side A - demo/intro
Side B - game

OK after the excellent demo is finished side B loads and I then wander aimlessly around the courtyard of the castle for a while admiring the graphics.

More please!

I think there's an ancient thread here talking about this.

Might be a good candidate for moving to a cart based medium if it were ever to be completed.

Here is a link to the thread (https://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/programming/coders-(basic)-wanted-for-help-on-elvira/).

Unfortunately the download of the DSK file on the very first post in this thread is corrupted. :( I asked @Gryzor to investigate but he couldn't recover the original upload, and Devilmarkus stopped visiting the CPCWiki forum a long time ago and I have no other way of contacting him.

And this is why being on social media has its advantages at times.

Ive popped Markus a message on Facebook. He may be able to help, he may not but at least I can bring it to his attention. :)

Hi again @Nich hehe

Can you make the immunity loader for this game? hehehe , it's a joke :P :P

I have spoken with Markus, and he has given me the file again, he has told me that you have to use the Parados ROM to be able to read the DSK.

The game doesnt work with CPCDOS
