AGI Tandy demo

Post by Truus999 »

Is this supported or not? I'm not sure and can't find the status.

If it is I'll log a bug report beacause it isn't recognized an crashes. If it isn't forget you've ever seen this post ;-)

Cheers,
René

We already have the demo but it seems we don't support it. It's not even detected.

Are you sure that there is not something wrong with it? It won't even start in DOSBox.

Not starting in Dosbox sounds logical, it's software for a tandy computer.

@Clone2727: Maybe something to put on the AGI todo page? And one other thing, due to the engine pages being updated I saw the following. Tis one is, I think, also known as the seasons greetings from Tandy demo and that stands as supported. If it isn't it should be removed there.

Cheers,
René

edit: Added the part about the engines page.

File a bug report about the AGI Tandy demo.

I guess you mean that the SCI ones aren't listed on the Engines page? What you said about the "seasons greetings from Tandy" isn't very clear.

Will file a bug report

Sorry for neing unclear. What I meant was that another name for the AGI tand demo is seasons greetings from Tandy.

So two names for the same demo.

Cheers,
René

Hello...

This info is on AGInfo sources (from Paul David Doherty, http://pdd.if-legends.org/):

===
The sad story of the so-called "Tandy demo" seems to be this: The Tandy 1000/IBM PCjr. emulator "Tand-em" came with a disk image containing Demo 2/5.25"/version 1. Somebody tried and failed in extracting the files from that image and uploaded the (totally corrupted) results to Brian Provinciano's "Ultimate AGI/SCI Site", where they still remain.

In other words, there is no "Tandy demo".
===

So this info explains all about that demo crashing even on DosBox.

Regards.

Hello...

As Paul states, there is no "Tandy Demo", it doesn't exists, really is just Demo 2/5.25/version 1 corrupted.

Regards.
