Cosmox, Fred's Back 1-3 & Fred's In Trouble

mrr19121970 · May 30th 2018

@Stephan Scheuer & I have received a request for an EasyFlash Quintology for the 'FRED' series

The games are on disk magazines from C&P verlag (Magic Disk64 ??)

http://www.lemon64.com/games/details.php?ID=547 <<< Cosmox - Game On 8/94 Thanks @Dekay

http://www.lemon64.com/games/details.php?ID=978 <<< Fred´s Back III came with GameOn 3/1994 Thanks @Yan_B
http://www.lemon64.com/games/details.php?ID=979

However to us (or at least me), it is not clear which disk/magazine these versions came with - or where to get them from. It could be that they are available in F64wolke.

Can anyone assist here ?

Fred´s in troubles

I saw this on the title screen, and the bad English irritated me. I am already thinking of a way to correct the title screen....

Fred´s Back I came with 64er 04/1993

Ah, böse Falle. Heisst im Directory nur "Fred's Back"... und da sucht man sich'n Wolf...

Stephan Scheuer · May 30th 2018

Ich bin auch darauf reingefallen.

Fred's back 1 habe ich auch erst nach langem Suchen gefunden.

Could it be this is a re-release ? It is strange that "Fred's Back" before Comox ?

Stephan Scheuer · May 30th 2018

That may be but I do not know exactly

mrr19121970 · May 30th 2018

so if Fred's Back really came 1st, where had he been ?

and quintology doesn't exist. it is called pentalogy.

GenerationCBM · May 30th 2018

Maybe it's a genitive? Fred's Back, Fred's Lowerback, Fred's Head, Fred's Leg...

mrr19121970 · May 30th 2018

Could be. After all Fred is only a head ?

I need an English teacher.

I only learned english in school from 1975 to 1981

and I forgot most of it again.

ich denke, da muss ich wohl die vokabelhefte rauskramen und lernen.... puhhh

ich könnte mit plattdeutsch aushelfen. das hört sich so ähnlich wie englisch an

mrr19121970 · May 31st 2018

He must have appeared in another game before ?

Today I tried your Fred‘s Back collection on my Turbo Chameleon. First I played Freds Back 3. After finishing Level 1 it didn‘t load next level and hangs.

After that problem I tried the same with Fred Back 2. Finished level 1 and it loads Level 2 without problems. Does anybody has the same problem with Fred Back 3?

Stephan Scheuer · Jun 1st 2018

das ist bekannt und night rider hat das problem schon gelöst.

der irq ist gesperrt und dashalb gehts nicht weiter.

es wird ein update geben.

see the _fix.zip on CSDB.

My 13 year old also found this yesterday. Fred3 and Fred4 both have the same issue.
