well when i have a PC that can handle such good an emulator with as good quality i will...

anyway, why can't you get a PC and a seperate Stoo (as that plays DVD's)

basicly...it takes an uber-pc to handle Stoo gams well.
What sort of umber pc? a 20 zillion GB one by any chance (well maybe not quite that 'umber'). Anyway how do you get emulators like an Amiga one to work on the pc? Do you have to connect an Amiga to it? My dad got rid of all ours yonks ago, when we got our first pc because 1. he said we wouldn't use it again as we didn't need it and the pc games were better. 2. He had recently got a new tele as our other one had gone on the blink which he thought was caused by the Amiga, as we had been running it through our tv. He also didn't want to invest in a monitor for it either. Man how I missed those Amiga's and those games that I used to play on them :'(. I still miss them now though sometimes :'(. Parting from them was a big loss, like losing Knightmare :'(.

I reckon they should do a PC game actually Jebster. We could set up a petition or something to discuss this more closely...

Here's a thought in that general direction..... Has ne1 tried making a Knightmare Flash game or maybe tried programming 1 on dark basic or 'blitz' and the like.

I know that Anglia gold were doing 'Shadow of the Technomancer' but its been 'coming soon' since whenever (Maybe someone could do it for them)!

I've got Dark-basic at home but I'm a lousy coder with no time to give to a project that would turn out quite large (to do well, which is what this would need).

I'm not wanting to discourage anyone from trying though! :o If yer good with programming and with more time than me GET IN THERE...

On the subject of the Anglia Gold Knightmare flash, I still can't get it to work on any computer I have tried. Has anyone managed to get it to work? if so how? as I would like to see it! Also the Anglia gold KM site hasn't been updated for about a year either!

You've basically just answered your own question there!

To my knowledge 'Shadow of the Technomancer' never got beyond the 'coming soon' stage so there is basically nothing to play.

If your having problems getting 'Flash" files to play properly, simply put 'Flash Player' into Google and follow the returns to the Macromedia Download site to get the most recent player....

Hope this helps.....

I've been told that Anglia TV site will probably be closing down in a few weeks, and this includes the Anglia Gold section. This probably has something to do with the re-structuring of ITV1 and abandoning regional identities/websites.

So does that mean that their will be no official KM site anymore or will this one then become an official site?

On the subject of the official KM site it takes ages and lots of refreshing for it to display properly. Does anyone else find that?

There has never really been an offical Knightmare website, but nearest after Anglia Gold is probably www.televirtual.com for updates on Knightmare VR.

I know that, as an Amiga 1200 and Amiga emulator owner, that a fairly meaty PC is needed...about 1Ghz should do.

You don't need an Amiga, but it would have helped... :(

www.winuae.net and www.back2roots.org would satisfy most of your Amiga needs, but the big stumbling block is usually how to get one of the 'ROM' files.

Legally, since you don't have an Amiga (what was your Dad thinking, throwing them all away?! Did he not play Sensible Soccer? But I digress.), it would be best to get Amiga Forever 5 from Clotanto (you can find it on Google, if I've spelt it correctly). Illegally, I wouldn't know. I'm a saint, you see. ::)

Eventually, you might get a virtual working Amiga 1200 with OS 3.9 installed, get the Knightmare game of the Knightmare website, only to find it isn't very good. D'oh! Still, there's always Zool... ::)

The best Knightmare game is that Dark Talisman one I've yet to complete (I need to visit Patrick Moore and ask him where the a******* c****** is (just not to ruin other people's enjoyment of it, I've helpfully censored most of this). Shame there's no flashy action sequences though (I expect a lot, I know...)

I must say Illusion... This is a good enough website to know about it. I always turned to this site. The others were tacky...  ;)

Back when I had an Atari ST (many years ago - I was about 11) I managed to get right up to the fourth quest. (There were four quests in the game). Alas, I never completed it - the reason being that I didn't have enough food with me in the last quest, and it was hard to find in the dungeon.

I've got a copy on an Atari emulator somewhere, but alas I don't have my original copy any more (my dad gave our Atari away). That means I don't have the printed map that went with the game - which was a lot of help.
