Blood Money

DOS - 1990
Also available on: Amiga - Atari ST - Commodore 64

To cut it short: Everything that made the Amiga version of Blood Money one of the most enjoyable shoot'em ups ever is missing is this PC conversion.

So what's left is a mediocre game-- the great soundtrack, graphics, and even fluid gameplay of the Amiga version is nowhere to be found here. What a pity. (You expected me to trash this, right?) Still, some might consider this a nice game if you love classic side-scrolling shooters in general.

Everyone should download the Amiga ROM from some Amiga site and play it on an emulator, though, to see how good this game can get. Disappointing.

@ZERODAY
Thanks, It worked. I use a frontend for DosBox called DBGL, so I used the instruction "loadfix -32 bm.exe" in the section "before Launch" in the DBGL GUI, and then voilà! It worked :)

Solution

In your dosbox, please run the following command.

loadfix -32 bm.exe

This will allocate 32kb to "bm.exe", which will run the game with 32kb.

Love this game.
Spend hundreds of hours playing it as a teenager. Thousands probably. Had some good times with the two player mode too. It still irks me that i haven't finished all levels ... Maybe i'll download the (supposedly) superior Amiga version and try my luck again ...

You need to check the "loadfix" option. I use "D-Fend Reloaded" frontend with dosbox.

This brings back a lot of memories. Especially of the old Amiga 500 I used to play this on. Loved the music from Psygnosis.
