Among my old Amiga disks, there was a few that seemed very obscure and potentially undumped.
Half of these disks are from the "Scandinavian Computer Club" and half are from "Softler".
SCC seems to be connected to something called "CAT Computer Club" which has a few hits online but nothing much.
I can only assume my dad got them from a magazine or magazine ad. There was also a time we got a buch of disks from someone, they could have been among those.
So I figured it was my responsibility to dump them and share. It's nothing mindblowing or anything, but here they are!
At first I thought much of the content was unknown, but researching more I think only Woof and maybe "The Prehistoric Fun Pack" is.
This is the most interesting of the disks. A whole lost platformer, and it's pretty good (by Amiga standards)!
I always thought my memories of this game was "Fire and Ice", but it was this!
I cannot find any mention of this game online at all.
My guess is that this was a game made by the Scandinvian Computer Club themselves, unlike the other disks from them that are more like freeware collections.
Unfortunately it seems to crash when you try to enter the second level, on both real hardware and emulator.
Maybe someone could hack it to work, or at least extract the other passwords and see if level 2 can be skipped.
The password to level 2 is "SNOOZE", something that's been in the back of my memory for all this time.
Update: A user named Crashdisk on the TOSEC forums extracted the codes for the later levels, and they work!
Level 3: DOGGIE
Level 4: HOTDOG
He also got the game registered in the database here: http://hol.abime.net/6860
The least interesting disk, as it contains only known freeware: Rick Dangerous 2.5 and Transplant.
"Familie Pakke" means "Family Pack", in either Danish or Norwegian (I'm Swedish).
This is a weird one. There's no real name for the game, which is just a simple slot machine.
You input player names (skip player by inputing no name) and then you just select betting amount and pull the lever.
I like the fun little song though.
Exploring the disk reveals the game is made in AMOS and is just called "Casino".
A "COPYRIGHT" text file seems to say it's made by Tom Wysocki, Canada, in 1995.
I can find this game on Aminet, so it's not unknown.
Contains two freeware games, a Boulder Dash clone and a Tetris clone.
Whenever I remembered Boulder Dash, this is the version I was thinking of, but I could never find screenshots of it online.
The "?" button leads to an info screen that calls the game "Ted's New Adventure".
A readme file lists the developer as Frans Slothouber of Maverick Software Development, 1995.
With this info I could find the game on Aminet.
The Tetris clone is called "Tetron" and looks basic at first but it has a ton of settings you can change.
The games manual says it was made by Peter Fregon, Australia. He laments the quality of other Amiga tetris clones.
Again I can find this at Aminet, so it's not unknown.
When you boot these, it actually says "Central Licenceware Register". Googling that does give some results.
The writing on these disks look like it says "CLE" but I assume it's supposed to be "CLR"...? Well who cares.
This game is found in some databases as "Dinosaurs 2" and "Mass Extinctions" and is not very interesting.
This is just a slideshow of scanned dinosaur art, literally nothing else. No intro or menu or anything.
Maybe it's just a second disk for use by the previous one, since this one is "B".
This is a bit more interesting. It's the "Prehistoric Fun Pack", and the only hits I get on google are magazines mentioning it.
Apparently made by a Steve Bennett, who I can't find much about. He might have made an Amiga music player, that's all I can find.
This pack consists of four small games, of which only one is actually worth playing: Eggtinct, a hilariously bad little platformer.
The whole thing seems to be made in AMOS.
"Basically BASIC!" This is something like a BASIC manual, but on a floppy disk. Which sounds like an incredibly bad idea.
It does come with a few example code files, at least. The examples are extremely simple.
Can't find much about this online but it's also very uninteresting, so no surprise there.
