I started a fan page for Dan Malone (the artist on this game) on facebook recently, and via various links and posts I managed to contact Dan himself to talk to him about it, he was very touched his work was still loved...I mean, his work is classic! He even started to upload concept sketches from The Chaos Engine and also the original arena design for Speedball 2.

One special trick for the 5th level: if you thought of bringing some of the caskets you can find along, you can actually smuggle some of your equipment (which would otherwise be obliterated) into Dianos' chambers and use them there. I was able to destroy him with the Magic Missile Wands after I had cast Banish on him, instead of using the Mind Blast Orb.
This was my favorite game back in the days. I still think it´s one of the best games ever created considering the time it was developed. The atmosphere was epic!
Bitmap Brothers were pretty much everything I enjoyed in video games as a kid. Loved my Amiga days, and people are right, games just arent the same anymore :(
For some reason , it makes me laugh, the voices. when he shoot them and when they die, the scream. when he shoots, his hand doesn't even move. lol, very nice game. but I'm not going to see this for 4 hours!! lol, amazing video.
I remember once there was a feature in Amiga Power about this game. They asked anybody who had completed it to tell them how, nobody out of the thousands of readers had even got past level 2.
You have to install on your mac parallel desktops (works only if you have an intel based mac...for example dual core) then you need windows xp and install it later (after you installed parallel desktops on your mac) on...
Then you can switch between those two systems..mac osx and windows...I tried everything before i downloaded parallels...now I am statisfied...
I do have a mac to...but I use parallel desktop and so I could play winuae with the frontend lemonade...to play all those great games again...it's very easy...
Anyone knows of the special way of killing Dianos that Steve Kelly from The Bitmap Brothers was talking about ? In his walk through he said: "This whole series of solutions has outlined the simple ways through the game. There are several hidden bonuses that can be achieved in all the levels, including a special way of killing Dianos. These bonuses will considerably boost your score."
It seems that to this day noone knows how it should be done.
Well, the most important tools for this feat are an Immortal Potion, a Mindblast Orb (extra-strong - the green gems you must collect on the fifth level would boost its power) and a Dispel Evil Scroll. There was a strongbox in front of Dianos' chambers which teleported certain items into his abode - everything else would be lost in the antechamber - in which you must place the above in order to deal with him.
At 36:40 you could open and close the chest repeatedly and thus accumulate as much money as you could want. Very useful if you have to save, since saving the game costs the more gold each time.
Hey cubex55, keep up your most excellent work, video & computer game longplays forever :))
