- It's been reported that there's a teensy-weensy problem with the excellent game,
- Gloom.
-
- I only know of the problem on a 1200 + 030 (2 reports to date), but other
- configs may have experienced the same trouble. When playing from Joystick,
- after a random time, (but usually near the start of the game) you'll find that
- the rotate function locks up, so that you can only sidestep (not rotate) by
- pushing sideways on your shaft (..ouch!). This makes the bloody thing
- unplayable - especially when you get locked at an odd angle. Quitting and
- re-starting from within the program doesn't help either! It's back to DOS and
- re-load time folks.
-
- The game is much more playable from keyboard anyway (use cursors to move,
- Left Amiga to fire and Left Alt to sidestep in combination with left-right
- arrows), but it does appear that if you plug your waggler into the mouse port
- then select Joystick 2 from the menu for Player 1, your problems may be solved -
- they were for me at anyway:-).
-
- BTW, did you know that if you complete a world (about 7 levels, I think),
- whenever you re-load it gives you the option of begining from the start of the
- new world - at least on hard drive.
-
- One last thing - don't be daft and install the game on the root directory of
- your boot partition (ta Zoltrix!) as it will write over your startup-sequence
- and you won't be able to boot. ALWAYS make a directory for it first, then
- install to that DIR. To be really safe, always install new warez into another
- partition, never SYS:
