what was the name of this game....?

[Zzr]

hey there.

for some months now i remember one game i played on the amiga but i cant remember the name...

it was pretty dark and you saw it from "above" - the story was something around a person who thinks he gets errrrm.... orders to kill some specific people, and thats how the game progresses, you pretty much kill one after another. and in the end you get shot as murderer after the final assassination.

does anyone of you maybe remember that game, and know the name? my researches were completely unsuccesful :-l

cheers, zzr

She's big on the Amiga you know - it seems Sarah can come up with an Amiga game the same as some trivia nut can conjure the name of a rare old b-side!

Maybe I could ask her why a picture I saved in Amiga .iff format wouldn't open in Deluxe Paint. I tried this ages ago so can't remember any details.

Wasn`t ILBM/IFF a standart for "Deluxe Paint"? As far as I remember it was even THE standart. I only used painting programs once in a while. When I wasn`t playing and playing and pla... I was just bitching around with the "Protracker" a little bit (or something else that was funny in my opinion ; creating some stupid Demos with the "Databecker Demomaker" for example XD ).
so....don`t know. I had a huge collection of IFF-pictures on Disk. And I remember that I used to watch them with Deluxe Paint IV (which was the only program I had - `till I switched to an Amiga with HD in the mid-90`s - there were several programs available...can`t even remember their Names...)

If I remember .iff was a generalized file format that could contain files of different types based on the header/chunk within the .iff.( Ilbm and 8svx ) Didn't electronic Arts actually create the file format for use with Dpaint? and Dmusic? gawd, it's been a while heh..

Maybe Commie's .iff were in a higher resolution or colour depth than the version of Dpaint trying to load into. Or just plain corrupt files? Hmm lots of different types of .iff image formats though.. RGFX for retGFX cards, PBM for the PC Dpaint, ACBM for ham6/8 and 24bit.. the list went on and on..

What program did you use to convert Commie??

Try renaming IFF to ILBM and load it that way see what happens.

Thanks for those. I'll have another play at some stage.

I used Paint Shop Pro 9 to render the image.

I use Irfanview to view and convert files, has so many file formats to load/save to. It's fast in viewing mode and Free!! Does all sorts of batch processing too.. Oh and .iff is in there as a save format

and the Key thing for me..? Small size.. VERY small disk base.

What file format are you saving in? I know .iff but which file type.

If you REALLY want to get retro, try a search for Deluxe paint II enhanced for the PC..
