The QL edition

A native C/68000 conversion in QL MODE 4, with an illustrated introduction, attract pages, music and top-down action. The supplied version is 1.0.2; the original CGA 320×200 picture is centred on the QL screen.

Graphics: MODE 4
RAM: 640 KiB
Included files: Into_the_Eagle's_Nest.img and Into_the_Eagle's_Nest.mdv

The download preserves the supplied IMG and MDV package without changes. Revision 1.0.2 improves the separation of short notes in the introduction music.

Loading and controls

Floppy: mount the IMG image as flp1_ and run LRUN flp1_boot. Microdrive: insert the MDV cartridge in mdv1_ and run LRUN mdv1_boot.
