Lupo Alberto: unreleased game discovered

[+Philsan]

Thanks to the game designer, graphic artist and musician Luca Stradiotto, we now have the 25 years-old unreleased Atari ST version of "Lupo Alberto - The Videogame" (a game based on a famous Italian comic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lupo_Alberto)

The game is complete, music apart (early demo version).

 

In 1990 C64 version was released:

In 1991 Amiga version was released:

It works with Steem emulator.

Yes, a new game does it run from a Hard Drive?

What version of Hatari are you using? I tried both the release version of 1.9.0 and a current development version and I was able to play the game without a problem using either TOS 1.04 or TOS 2.06.

From my initial testing, it only appears to work from the floppy. However, I am sure someone will patch the game so it will run from a hard drive.

1.9.0, tested with both emutos and TOS and I couldn't get it passed the select screen. It wouldn't read joystick movement.

 

 

Edit: Got it to run with TOS 2.06us. It seems like a nice platformer that's hurt a lot by the not scrolling. It's a scrolling game design and it's really hard to play it like this. Other than that, it has a really nice graphic style.

I'm surprised you didn't get it to run with TOS 1.04. I will say that I used the UK version. Even though I live in the US, I default to using the UK TOS versions so I don't run into any speed issues with the European titles.

 

When I use TOS 2.06, I do use the US version though. I'm glad you got it running though. I never test with EmuTOS since I don't use it.
