I'm the author of the game above. The reason you don't have the sound is probably because it was a "compilation". The music was stored on side 2 of the disk, though the disk info indicated a one-sided disk so that it would play on early 520ST machines. If you had a 2-sided drive (ie a 1040ST), it would read the second side and get the sound / music. Most compilations did a brain-damaging copy of the disk, copying only the first side, so you'd lose the music even with 2-sided drives.
There is no use of the blitter, only smart use of the CPU. At the time, I accelerated the polygon-drawing routines of Infogrames by another 20%, IIRC. If you want to see how it works inside, you can do a CVS download from http://alpha-waves.sourceforge.net. This is a C rewrite of the game for X11, though a lot is unfinished and only the first few rooms work. Basically, that was 3D computations using practically only integer additions :-)
As far as I know, this was the first 3D game with two simultaneous players on screen. I should have patented that ;-)

What's the anti-troll code?
That's your personal code to be able to add comments and messages on the dhs.nu site.
Don't have a code or forgot it? Fix it here.
