I don't know what you mean WolfHeart, but the mo-word was the cheat-mode-word in NewZealandStory.

I remember that phrase, even more because i AM a kiwi. Does anyone have working versions of Rainbow Islands or Bubble Bobble, i have never been able to find them. I read somewhere that there were secret levels in Rainbow Islands and i also wanted to win it without cheating.

I had a demo version on th Atari...was only four levels I think...all the mobs were musical instruments, and the last level had a giant green piano. Another game I liked on tha Atari (another demo though, think we had 11 levels) was called...erm, Onyx or something...you played like a black marble and it moved when you moved the mouse. View was like plan view and you had to roll the marble around the level and avoid quicksand and holes and stuff...

Sweet. Cant wait for this one, apparently there could be a demo very very soon.

As for Rainbow islands and parasol stars, I reccomend either an Amiga Emulator (winuae & aiab) and find the ADF files for them. That or a SNES emulator which can play these sorts of games pretty well.

A mate does have one but I cant remember its name.

Google can assist there ;)
