If it's of any help, I've just asked Pantaloon to ask Andreas Axelsson for the original sources so that we don't have to reverse engineer the scoring system. This is really what's blocking a release as far as I'm concerned. A big blob of BORING code after all fun and hard code was finished. Cross your fingers that we'll get them. |

I remember asking Andreas about that, don't think he had it anymore. Can't find that e-mail back though :-( |

Another interesting source for the Pinball Dreams scoring-system might be Vesa Halttunen (vesuri^daJormas), who spent some time working with the source code, as far as I know...

There are a quite a few ports of Pinball Dreams for different systems (I remember there even being one for the GamePark32 which is a quite obscure hardware...) so maybe it's possible to track down someone who worked on one of the ports if none of the original Digital Illusions dudes has the source? |

I'm digging out the sources for Jackasser so they can have a look. |

Hi everyone!
I am the Batman Group coder that is doing the Pinball Dreams port for Amstrad CPC, which I hope to finish in a few months.
I recently found this thread, which seems quite interesting ...
@WVL
I hope you can finish the project some day, since I see that you are doing a great job and it will be interesting to compare both versions :)
I also wanted to ask you about the game rights. I read somewhere that you got the rights, how did you do it?, I've been trying to contact Rebellion, through their website, Facebook, etc ... but I have not received an answer :/
I would also like to have the approval of the original authors and if anyone can get in touch with them, I will be grateful.
Thanks in advance! |
