Roboball (Akelote was at it again)

Post by ATOS Productions »

Digging through my collection of optical media, I found yet another miserable game. This time, a 3D Breakout/Arkanoid-style abomination called Roboball developed by Twisted Glass and brought to the Baltics by (again) Akelote ir Ko - the same company that dragged W.A.R. Soldier to my homeland.
As I am not sure whether it is old enough to fit out abandonware standards, I made a simple ISO rip and uploaded it to MEGA. Feel free to poke with a stick. Beware of the unintelligible Lettish translation (man does it show Akelote was a Lithuanian company)

A little warning: I remember this running just fine on my old Athlon XP (256M RAM, GeForce MX440, WinXP SP3), installed off the same disc. However, today I tested it on 2 VirtualBox machines, one of WinXP and the other Win8, and was not able to run them. Not sure whether it's a damaged disc, corrupt ISO or the game simply not liking VBox. So your mileage may vary. Report if you actually can make it run.

Download (Filesize: 61.4mb)

If this should be on our FTP, I can dump the disc proper and scan the cover. Just notify me.
I have some other manureware games I'll upload a bit later - after I finish tidying my room and slap meself for not taking the very obvious step of COMPRESSING the ISOs before starting upload. I can't understand how this hasn't become a habit with my miserable uplink.

No need to refer to me in my full username, Atoss or ATOS will do fine.

Thank you for sharing. Anyway we need a key for downloading

Sorry, my bad. Fixed that, the link no longer requests a key.
