Seems like a fun game with human opponents, as most sport games are.

Looks like a decent game that i never played. I sold my Amiga in 1994 having last used it in 1993 to buy my first PC. The game looks like it was aiming for a console feel. I could not actually get the game to run on ECS Amiga when i did the video, despite it saying it would work...

I tried Satu when i made the video but i didnt know how to play it... I really enjoyed the 'menu' on this disk, the music and story book graphics... Later disks had a boring text menu...

Yes, i think it is on the C64 anyway. I did a quick check before i started it. I was going to give up half way due to the loading time, though somehow found the courage to continue... :D

@@C64_and_Amiga_Memories You know you can speed up any loading in the emulator with Warp Mode. Doesn't affect the disk access.

​@@Emulous79 I think i tried that after i finished it but the warp speed was making everything run faster, by upto 5-6 times, including the disk access. Is there a way to just speed up the disk access without a loader cart? As the cart wouldnt work on games such as this anyhow.

@@C64_and_Amiga_Memories Don't need a loader cart. Just toggle warp mode on when it loads and off when it stops. That's what I do, anyway. A lot of editing and save-states involved, though if I bypass something.

@@Emulous79 Yes, thanks. I know about the warp function and the shortcut key.... Though it speeds everything up, not just the loading. On second thought, i would probably preferred it this way as it is the most authentic experience.... Though this video took me about a week to do, trying to fit it in between everything else.

I never had this game but i like the setting. I often was intrigued by playing games that it made me visit the library as a kid to read up on things. Who says video games were a total waste of time?? :D

Yes, i noticed the music on this title was pretty good. Interesting game, if you could learn to play it. Most of us had copies, so no manual...

Thanks. I actually try to emphasize that and never intend to cut that from the video.

@@C64_and_Amiga_Memories It just hits different without any disc drive noises, and is that a 3 minute "fast loader" flashing screen?

@@toxicmule I would say that it is a fast loader of a sort. Lemon64 has info easily found on what tape loader each game has... I like to record the versions of the games that have the loading screens/music etc, though some images are very hard to find, so i just use a re-release, which probably wont have the screen.

@@toxicmule Further, if you have a look at the entry on Lemon64, it displays a loading screen... I just havent been able to find the tape image that would have it. Generally the very early titles and 'late titles' such as games after about 1991 tend to be hard to find respective images of. I have a small library of tapes that i will make an image of, that dont appear anywhere on the web. I have an U2+ cart

@@C64_and_Amiga_Memories Tapes...ok, all my curiosities are answered. =) I just figured it was due to how the video capture was done. Having never done a vidcap, I had no clue. I have only noticed those type of load screens when using a fast load proggie of some type or other. I have never seen this game, and even after all these years I love that the system still brings me new discoveries. Thanks for the info, it has been a joy.

Yes, i thought that exactly. It should have had an option to skip that.

I agree. I was impressed with this one.

I only ever had an Amiga 512Kb with 512kb expansion back in the day. The only game i had that i played that was even remotely tedious as this was when i got a copy of Leisure suit Larry 5. It had a 'startup' disk that i kept in DF0 and used my external floppy to change over when i went to different screens... It was as this point i was essentially done with the Amiga when i saw a friends intel 386 with a HDD. It just ran 'instantly'. It was a shame that the HDD for the Amiga was so ridiculously expensive for a very long time. For this reason i also much preferred the older games of the Amiga library.

@@C64_and_Amiga_Memories My first amiga I did have the A590 20mb harddrive. But most software didn't permit being installed to it. At least not most early ocs games. And everything Amiga has pretty much always been expensive. I still got my wedge, but sadly the a590 is long dead.

Yes, i thought it was quite similar to Double Dragon too...

Yes, most Hewson games were of good quality.

I dont think i even had one game that was the players brand... Here in Australia, not even as a 'copy'...

I played it for a minute, and i think i know what you mean. Need to read the instructions...

Yes, i think most of the 'Players' games had this built into the loader... nice idea, but personally would have preferred a loading screen.

This title seemed to be the most poor of the players range...

Yes, it did. I have uploaded them as separate video's. I have virtually all the mega tapes uploaded, bar one i think.

Haha yes. And this game is actually harder than it looks. Sort of hard to control your striker. I think this game would play very well against human opponents.

I actually have this on physical in a recent pickup. Judging by the 'larger' case, it was not a budget game, but a full price one. In Australia you would have paid $30AUD for it, as opposed to $10 for the firebird/mastertronic type games. I always envied the 1.99 pound advert in the corner of the budget releases. I was of the opinion, that i should have been paying $4AUD as that was the conversion rate... 1 pound equals 2 Australian dollars... We were certainly getting ripped.
