evisu Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Ißm more than surprised to see, that there are around 90 copies still available ... months after the release. Expected to see the whole bunch gone in a week or so ... completely overestimated the number of Jag nerds out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaggingUK Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I just ordered Defender of Crown the other day along with the two Dizzy titles... Am looking forward to trying out the new Dizzy game when it is done and dusted and posted out in the coming weeks... Will be a nice little present for myself... I am sure Defender of the Crown will eventually sell out, I bet there will be a final rush when it's announced there down to last 15 or so... Really looking forward to my games coming, Speedball 2 is next on the agenda when I have some more spare money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredifredo Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I had a graphic bug one time with DoTC today , when I look at the cart there was something like yellow oil come from the PCB less than a drop... After wiping seems to work fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 That's interesting. Sometimes the edge connector can have smudges on them from the factory (presumably from handling), but I clean that off when I see it. Really odd to hear you describe "yellow oil" on the edge connector, though, I've never seen that before! Glad cleaning it off fixed the issue for you. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosquare Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Some solder flux residue that wasn't cleaned, perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isgoed Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I did it...... last week I ordered a copy of DotC from the Atariage store.... We had it on the C64 back in the day, but I never played it. My brother played it and I remember the music being nice. I watched some youtube vids, and the game seems interesting but I think that I really have to "learn" this game. In short: the game appeals to me, but I don`t know what to expect exactly so I am excited to try it out once it`s here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swansea_Mariner Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) Anyone got any tips for raids my sword fighting is abysmal? I used to find the CDTV Version of this easy back in the day but either this version is harder or I am just craper.

Swansea_Mariner Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I'm in the UK and all my purchases come through fine. Anyone playing this or just me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isgoed Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I have played it a few times. Sometimes I did well, but other times I got defeated very quick. I plan to spend some time with it in the upcoming weeks, and I need to explore the map and enemies more to know what moves to make. The messages throughout the game about Sir "what's his name" has been destroyed and other things are important for making decisions and where to go. The jousting I haven't really figured out, but my impression thus far is that it's game-mechanics are broken, so not much fun at all, unless I am doing something totally wrong. A dissapointment for me is that the (very nice) music/background sounds is very short during raiding and leaves you swordfighting in silence.

Swansea_Mariner Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I must have done about 50 odd jousts, not won one yet! I reckon my win rate for raiding is about 20% with the strongest sword player so abysmal really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goochman Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I had this on my ST - never won on Jousting back then either - there is an art form to it which escaped me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swansea_Mariner Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Is there much of a difference in how easy it is to win at jousting depending on which character you choose? How does that work is the hit detection zone larger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swapd0 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 A long time ago when I played this game on the Atari ST I never won a joust, and never beat the game. A few years ago I played it gain, and won several joust and beat the game several times. It's just about timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking this is definitely harder than the Amiga and CDTV Versions, it has to be. I just can't seem to pick out any discernable patterns to the sword play.

Iwantgames:) Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 got my copy in today and so far its awesome! one question tho, I also picked up a PS/2 mouse adapter and my mouse wouldnt work. I looked up the mouse thats pictured with the adapter and it says 5v on the label where my mouse says 12v so is it just the incorrect voltage, or is something else wrong? Im debating getting the other mouse but just wanted to make sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CyranoJ Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Not all USB mice work with the adapter, it needs to support the PS2 protocol. You are using port #2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
