Metallic Legend, Commodore 64 (1993,1994) [TYVT]

Leave a comment

While I wasn’t looking, another old Turkish game has been uncovered, and it needs to be archived here as well. This time, it’s a game made by a group of young people under the name “Turkuaz Yazılım.”

A “preview” version was released in 1993, and a new version was released in 1994.

I downloaded the game from Gamebase64 and also put a copy on my server for those interested:

As for the game, it has 4-5 layers of parallax scrolling. There is a clear influence from Shadow of the Beast, with large sprites and technically good visuals, but the colors and graphics seem a bit odd. Instead of aiming for something aesthetically pleasing, it seems they wanted to show everything they could on the screen. The game, of course, follows the unbreakable rule of being unplayably difficult. 🙂 There are cheat options in the package; run the v2 version.

Code: Erkan Dogan, Serkan Dogan
Graphics: Taner Kaya
Music: Ali Uzcelik

İstanbul Efsaneleri: Lale Savaşçıları Amiga version is Cracked.

5 Comments

Well, it’s just a very quick crack and the game is in Turkish. A little background about the game, it’s originally written with Amos Pro 2.0 around 1995, later the game had been ported to PC DOS and Windows as CDROM version.
This one is Amiga 500 version, pretty iconic Turkish game. It has been welded into Turkish retrogaming culture. Cracked version is only tested on Kickstart 1.3 and 1MB of ram (most common amiga configuration).

As I said, this is a quick crack, it may or may not work. Game manual and original disk images can be found on the internet.

Ufuk Metin’s Flagmania (made between 1988-1995)

Flagmaina is a breed between snake and labyrinth. You control smiley character, once you move out of a block you cannot go back and it’s marked as gray. You have to collect all the flags and proceed to exit (E).

it’s a fun little game but it has only one level, and the title page mentions “when it’s finished, it will have 50 levels in total”. Yet another game idea went to bust.

Ufuk Metin’s Master Tetris (1995)

Leave a comment

Master Tetris is a unfinished tetris clone from “Accuracy Arts” which is a faux-company/Group created by Ufuk Metin.

The game features smooth scrolling tetris blocks, and stats display and very playable. But the game cannot keep scores and will crash on game over. Other than that level progression works.

I can see the atari’s arcade tetris influence on this game.

You can find more info and more screenshots on Turkish version of this post.

Vefa Lök’s “Osmanlıca” and it’s Crack

Leave a comment

This article is about cracking a Turkish amiga utility from 1992. it’s only available in Turkish, sorry. You can dowload cracked program by clicking the screenshot below:

osman_1

it’s a educational program which tries to teach old ottoman writing using an amiga. But it seems it’s not doing what it’s intended to do, as there are incorrect representation of old ottoman text.

Anyway, it’s cracked and released for archival reasons.
