There are some issues though - movement is often sluggish, the "use" command sometimes misfires (eg it attempts using the object on itself when you wanted to use it with something else on screen), and I had no less than two full crashes and one fatal bug (in all fairness this could just be because of misreads from my CD32 drive). I'm happy to say that this appears to be the complete game, all of the gameplay appears to be intact and it's all in English, both text and voices from start to end. Given that this is an unreleased beta version, I had to give it a full playthrough with walkthrough (on a real CD32) before publishing it here.


I wasn't planning on re-releasing Giana Sisters by itself (the collection will be though). I could maybe see if they'd be OK with us doing the unofficial CD32 release with promotion for their commercial boxed release. Solid Gold is for sale now (it was freeware at the time), though the CD32 version was only a beta release to begin with (Galahad did the port unofficially). Whether or not that IP exchange actually happened I'm not sure about so it could see a re-release (maybe as part of a platform pack). Mr Nutz was voluntarily withdrawn because a publisher that I'm on friendly terms with was seeking the IP. Ultimate Fighters re-release is on hold pending the possible release of unreleased characters for Shadow Fighter (ref: NAPS team on Facebook) Heart of the Alien + Another World will probably be up next, with a workbench friendly release as well.
