Nice release  Smiley but was the source code (the CHUCK.S file inside the rar archive) supposed to be part of it?

Nope, it wasn't Sad

But seeing as it was, I'll fully document it and get it put on the Extras page with a breif "How a game gets fixed" write-up. Hows that sound?

Anyway all you code stealing demo construction kit cut and pasters, enjoy a stupidly fast real time text x/y distorter.

OK,

Well, I started doing this, but about 40% through the file I realised a few things:

1:  It's incredibly tedious doing this.
2:  While a few people may be interested in the technical details of fixing things, they probably wont use any of the information to patch anything themselves.
3:  Each title is different, so all it would teach you is how to fix Chuck Rock.
4:  It wouldn't even teach you that because the loader and the actual cracking/fixing are seperate things.
5:  I'm a tad busy and distracted at the moment for other reasons.

So... I guess you have the source code for my loader - enjoy Smiley

Sooo..... all things said and done, am I the only one that finds Chuck Rock a boring and repetitive game? The first few levels are fun, but I tend to lose interest after that. Plus, the standard attack was always too cumbersome for me, so I almost always resorted to jumping and kicking instead of belly-butting enemies.

Nice work with Frenetic!  Yeah, the game is a dullfest in one-player mode, but like most things it's more fun with two Wink

Well with Car-Vup out of the way, only Warzone and Torvak are worth doing. And maybe Heimdall.
