TimePilot
A downloadable game

The game
Your plane stays in the centre, the sky with its clouds and enemies turns around it. Five eras: 1910, 1940, 1970, 1982 and 2001. After enough hits the mothership of the era appears. Destroy it to travel on to the next era. Parachutists give extra points.

thank you for making this happen.. love this game
How about a version for the A2000? Both the a500 adf and the 1200 adf show up as undefined for my 2000
Damn...I will check this out!
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reproduce it. It ran fine in the emulator with every configuration I tried. I don't own an A2000, so I can't test it on that hardware. Could you provide more details about the error?
Also, just for your information: this is not an AmigaDOS disk, so it won't show up in Workbench. I’ve used a trackloader—the same approach as in my other releases.
That would be the issue. Can you point me to info on the trackloader you use?
It’s a simple bootloader,nothing fancy. But why not just boot from the floppy disk? Alternatively, you could use the WHDLoad version to launch the game from the Workbench.
Nice game!
very good
