A correction to the game has been posted. It affects the french version only.

This bugfix corrects an error in PEGANA, where ELKAMUR doesn't answer when he is showed some items.
The bug only exists in the french version!
This bugfix will be included in Dragonflight V1.2 for Steem.

Download Dragonflight Bugfix and replace the faulty file in the FRA_DATA directory.

A new screen for the 16x16 challenge is done. This time it is coded by Phantom, who was previously a guest-coder for V-Max.
Once again the demo doesn't follow the rules established by Leonard. The demo displayed 250 masked sprites. It is more likely a 'wink' to the contest, altough it runs fine on any ST/STE (with at least 512 KB of memory). Also Phantom works at the moment on a rules compliant screen. This new one may be finished next week.

A new version of Thalion game DragonFlight is available. According to Udo Fischer, here are the modifications:

- removed a copy protection check which was left in the emulator version unintentionally...
this led to the 'Game-over' sequence when entering 'King Halfton'.
- added the 'Wordlist' with all the words which might be asked as 'extra adventure'. It's directly a part of the source code but I think you will find the appropriate words...

Download DragonFlight v1.1 and feel free to visit Thalion Webshrine.

Leonard - the current developer of SainT - has published a new version of the famous ST emulator for Windows. Here are the changes:

- Fullscreen + Spectrum512 extreme left border color fixed ("Overscan Demos" F6 screen) Thanks to Paulo Simoes for precious debugging help
- Double odd adress fixed ( ELECTRA demo is now working again )
- Add "Clear all breakpoint" button in debugging pannel

He also promises more stuffs in the next version. Go to Leonard's website to get SainT v1.71.

ljbk (aka Paulo Simoes) has posted yesterday three new (un)limited screens. This time the demos display 1000, 1500 and 2000 sprites on 512 KB machines or more. Also ljbk writes that he is able to display 2900 sprites on 512 KB and almost 7000 sprites on 1 MB machines! Unfortunately he doesn't want to release this demos because the screen looks more and more as an unlimited sprites screen because you don't see the clearing effect. Anyway the new 2000 sprites is a very good demo! It's probably a new record although it can't contest with Leonard'one.

Get the new limited screens now.
