Looking Back at Champions of Krynn for the Amiga Dave Poo 2 2024-02-04 | In this video I'm going to try and get Champions of Krynn (RPG) working on an Amiga 1200. This was a game that I played on the C64 back in the day and I still own my original copy of.This game was designed and tested before the introduction of the Amiga 1200 and the AGA chipset (and even just before workbench 2.0) so I don't have a total success in getting it to work.This is a non WHDLoad video, so I'm just to try and play it "as it was" back in the day. To do this properly it seems like it needs either an A500 or possibly will work correctly on an A500+ or A600 (haven't tested those yet).Chapters:0:00 Unboxing & Manuals2:35 HD Install6:19 Demo Mode10:27 Quick Game16:01 ConclusionMusic:'Interstella challenge 3' by Chris Huelsbeck, used under a royalty-free license, please visit patreon.com/chris_huelsbeck for more info!Links:Champions Of Krynn Box Gold Art Image: gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/84508-champions-of-krynnBox Poster Art: mobygames.com/game/833/champions-of-krynn/cover/group-62830/cover-658625Quoted Text:Workbench Wikpedia Page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workbench_(AmigaOS)Applicaations:ADFer: aminet.net/package/disk/misc/ADFer

But if you are hand wiring this mod then it might be some help to you.It's a long video, so chapter links are provided if you want to skip to the bits you are interested in.
