After 33 years, I haven't given up on finishing #Zool. However:
- I now die in level 2 instead of at the end boss of level 5
- After 20 minutes my eyes and my arm hurt like hellHow did I do this as a teenager?

While sorting through my collection of Amiga games, I just ran into another issue: OCS/ECS vs. AGA games. AGA stands for "Advanced Graphics Architecture", in comparison to OCS/ECS, which refers to the "Original/Enhanced Chip Set". AGA usually looks a bit better with support for 256 colors and was only available on the A4000 and A1200.
The problem I just had was with a game named "ZOOL". Its AGA version is so similar to the original release, that it initially boots up just fine, even on an older A500. Everything works: The loading screen, the codewheel prompt, even the main menu. Only then it completely crashes while trying to display a colorful fullscreen animation. Over the years, this must have mislead lots of Amiga fans, because I just found out most of the community's "ZOOL" disk images are actually mislabeled as "OCS/ECS", while they are in fact newer "AGA" versions. Yes, it even confused the SPS people! Took me a while to figure this one out. 😠
