I was just wondering if "The Final Battle" has ever been done? I looked for it on the adapted games website but didn't see it.

The game got bad ratings but it looks interesting. Thanks.

 I DL-ed it from Atarimania and looked  little at previous Dec. , then somehow forgot about and missed among thousands of games. It actually looks pretty good. As see has some unusual copy protection .
 Will deal with this days.

 I made it work from hard disk - but it is for now just test version. Game has really strange code/solutions, and it crashes when running from floppy and when there is 4 MB RAM in Atari ST . That's one of silly bugs present in number of Atari ST(E) SW - probably as result of not having so much RAM in developer's computers, and of course because being not so experienced ...  With this hard disk adapt test version situation is exactly opposite - it works good only with 4 MB RAM. With 1 and 2 MB crashes often - funny thing - but explanation is that same bug what causes crash with 4 MB RAM by floppy run does damaging of read ahead cache used by hard disk adapt when is less RAM. Other thing: do not use game's loading and saving game (pos, state) option. There is much faster and simpler HAGA state save in my adapts.
 I really have no clue how to play it, so please test it. On more thing: not exactly bug, but mouse cursor appears at left side of screen when pulling it to edge of right side and little more. Another not so good programming case.

Okay, I grabbed it. I'll be testing it on my Mega STe.
It does have 4 megs of RAM and TOS v2.06.

It'll probably be a couple of days (busy at the moment)
but I'll report back as soon as I can.

Thanks again.  :)
