Passwords different between ECS/OCS and AGA?

[Aulbath]

Did the AA-Version change the passwords? I have been looking up some passwords online cause I kinda remembered that TTTTTTTTT-thing, but for some reason all of them don't seem to work in this remastered version? Was this taken out of the AA-Version or has this been removed in the "remastering" process?

As far as I remember there were some fun shenanigans you could do with the passwords (like reversing the last 6 letters gave you super-amounts of cash) or the ability to target the number of remaining lives directly through the password. None of that stuff seems to be working anymore? Anybody else noticed this?

I have test it.

This Password works ONLY in the A500 Version.

The remastered Version use the Password system from the A1200 Version.

Passwords only for the a500 Version:
HHGGFFDDCCBB
JJHHGGFFDDCC
XXXXXXXXXXXX
YYYYYYYYYYYY
VVVVVVVVVVVV
TTTTTTTTTTTT

All other Passwords will work on A500 and A1200 (and remastered) Version.

Use ZBVKL9ZN5717 and start in World 2-1 with over 40000 cash and tune up your Player and CPU Player.

Thanks mate! Weird that they took some passwords out in the process of upgrading the game to AGA back then, I wonder why?

Yes all Passwords for the World 1 are removed in the A1200 AGA Version and the remastered.

The A500 Version has a Bug. In World 1 - 4 you can get great Equipment. All you must do:

take the Party-Power-Extra and than you have 5 Seconds Time to run in the bonus cave.

The Power Equipment you have until end of the game! You run faster and your Weapons are stronger.

The Bug was fixed in the A1200 AGA and remastered Version :-(

I had tested all this Today with the Winuae Amiga Emulator and the A500 and A1200 Version.



I tested the MSDOS Version from 1994 with Dosbox. The World1 Passwords are removed and the Bug in World 1 - 4 was fixed.

I loved that "bug" in World 1-4!

I loved this bug, too.

As a child i had played The Chaos Engine on the A500. I had the Info from a german Games Magazine.

Now I play without cheats. So far, I've come to world 2-3. Every time I die, then I select the main menu "Select old game" and start again in the same level. So I train until I can memorize.

I try this several times to play a level and collect as much money as all level options without trying to obstruct se. This takes time :-)

I played DOS version ages ago as a kid and after so much months of frustrating losing I finally got it to the final level. I died pretty quickly but I got new password. When I entered this password, I got completely different characters and much much more money than I shoud have.

Welp, I finished the game with this "cheaty" password and oh boy... I was running around room, jumping on furniture and screaming with joy like crazy. It was the first and the last time I enjoyed finishing a game with such a joy and relieve. Hard games are good :)

Anyways, did someone had similar experience with this strange password that was generated and loaded world with different characters with much more money?
