Winterland Mega-Lo-Mania
A downloadable WMLM
Over 15 years since I first tried my hand at producing a Mega-Lo-Mania level Editor, I finally released this festive level set!
Held back for many years in an unfinished state, the recent technological developments have finally given me the tools to fill in the gaps I never wanted... From being unable to record new audio in a timely fashion, to being unable to find an artist to produce the new intro screens (despite a few promises along the way), these problems are now a thing of the past.
I am aware it isn't perfect... graphics could do with some hand-edited love, and other minor tweaks, but with the rise of compact gaming options this is something I'd actually like to play myself.
It was way back in the late '90s when my first MLM edits were ever made, but around 2008-2013 in particular, I had a go at bringing it all together with an Editor. It worked (for the most part) and amongst the themes/ideas that came about, a Christmas theme was amongst them; lending itself heavily to additional tile variants by reducing the core Island colours to those which would work within the theme.
Sadly, it was shelved, but never forgotten, dusted off and with some minor tweaks, now hopefully worth of a release.

Very lice game mod with lovely graphics. However the in-game graphics seems to be the same, like the Original. Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 05:57:26. English subtitles are also available. Subscription to our YouTube and Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂

Any chance you can share the editor, Horace?
Long time no speak TCD!
all in due time , yes :)
I’ll be using itch to finally give a home to many projects from over the years.
Well yes, it has been some time :) Good to hear and I'm looking forward to it then! Have a great weekend.
Hello.
Will there be an adf version to download?
hi - unlikely as the original disks are copy protected and use a custom file format. With the new data files being a different length, I wouldn’t even be able to just patch them in (and it will likely break the copy protection)
I could however provide an HDF version, although this will likely run in much the same way as mounting the LHA in any emulator.
Are you looking to put on a real disk and real hardware?
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I am lookng to put on a real disk and real hardware.
Regards.
I remember playing a lot of Mega-Lo-Mania on the Amiga when I was young. Now that I've played this I understand why, it's still good. I also included it in my new video along with other recently released Amiga games.
Amazing stuff - thanks for featuring, and i'll spend a bit of time trawling through the other great highlights you've put together here
