the fairlight intro (the one after the spread by fairlight scroller) does not like slowmem. setiing it to 0 fix that.

Please note, that memory values must with the multiplier. For chip RAM x * 512 and fast RAM x * 1024! BTW: I think, it is irrelevant if we have 2 or 8 MB fast RAM. This decreases the host RAM amount not really significantly
Hi Frode, I didn't even think about that! Will trust Hall of Light in future lol. Thanks for the welcome nexusle, hopefully I'll get the hang of this soon, don't want ever game I edit to have a page full of comments lol
From FAQ at Hall of Light (http://hol.abime.net/hol_faq.php?section=data_accuracy): "Copyright dates do not necessarily reflect the year of release. Years in games are usually there to mark the date of creation for copyright reasons. In the case of conversions from other machines to the Amiga the copyright year will often reflect the original version of the game. Example: The Rainbow Islands Amiga titlescreen says "(c) Taito Corporation 1987" but the Amiga version was released in 1989." So I'm inclined to trust Hall of Light more than the title screen
Although site are listing this as 1987, the adf images are labeled as 1986. Also when you start the game as can be seen on the title screen png it says 1986. Weird? But I assume the game is correct?
IPF, v1.0U, HLS, 1333
requires the wb flag. else we just boot to a cli window.
ADF, v1.0U, h FLT

the 1986 release date come from the pc version by the way
2mb fast is enough, tho 1mb isn't. weird for a 1 disk game.
The IPF needs WB to boot.

I think, the game was developed (and mmaybe planned to release) in 1986. This could be the reason you see 1986 on the title screen.
Hi thundercato, welcome in the database!
From which source you know, that this game is released in 1986? All links speak from 1987...

Both HOL and LemonAmiga agrees that 1987 is the release year, not 1986.
