Mr.Rubinshtein

Mr.Rubinshtein

with such game mechanics

There are significant differences between PC and PS1 versions. Regions aren't cut the same way, some mini-game and platform segments aren't in the exact same spot. There could be more but it's hard to tell if some PC differences are due to compatibility issues or not.

now that I think of it, XXL3 is kinda like a Gallic War remake

Stinkek

GW is mainly a turn-based strategy, with only occasional platforming levels

Another lost gem unleashed by Stinkek Asterix and Obelix in search of Black Gold game which was released in 1997 for windows 3.1 and windows 95 Honestly quite cursed game. We discovered it by pure accident, because there are literally no mentions about this game anywhere unless you try hard and dive deep into internet. Article is pretty much done, except few minor things that we need to take care. https://aogames.fandom.com/wiki/Asterix_-_Searching_for_the_Black_Gold_(1997)

Mr.Rubinshtein

P.s. emulation of this game is possible but its quite ass in terms of optimisation for emulator

Mr.Rubinshtein

Here is a gameplay, respectively recorded by @Stinkek https://youtu.be/ISXWrjgOAI4

Stinkek

The Boar Hunt minigame has to be the most cursed part of the game. I couldn't get it running at proper speed no matter what I tried.

Mr.Rubinshtein

true that

Mr.Rubinshtein

Stinkek

Our only idea remaining is running this on a legit old PC... and this is where I'm powerless

Mr.Rubinshtein

Stinkek

Yes

Mr.Rubinshtein

Stinkek

Not my screen but the Romans' reaction still gets me
