Fever_Discordia: I'm pretty sure the jumper is on 'Slave' and not 'Master' - there's 2 extra pins on the left that aren't used (I think they're there to retain the jumper so you don't loose it if you don't want it on any of the settings) try counting them from the right...

adambiser: Looks to be on Master no matter which direction I count from. Master is in the middle: CS, Slave, Master, blank, PM2.
Damn, I think you're right - which means maybe its not Slave Zero (don't care about making myself look silly, same shit different day and all that :-D)

Mobygames says 'Playmates' for Powerslave, which sounds dodgy and 'R' rated!

I have to agree with adambiser - direction doesn't seem to matter as it's in the middle.

That said, the hint could be purposely misleading, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's the Tommo game.

Heh - there WAS a DOS version of Hard Drivin'

WB have recently realised they're sitting on a load of Midway/Atari arcade IP too - New Gauntlet coming soon and all that!

No worries. I'm hoping to see Powerslave here sometime. I hadn't heard of Slave Zero before, but wouldn't mind seeing that either.

Maybe the focus hint indicates that the game is the third in a series?

Does the blinking ears and nose have anything to do with this?

Aha! HDD light!

tfishell: That's a Tommo-bought game, correct? :)

At 278 votes, http://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/slave_zero, I'd like to mark it as "completed", and it appears the game can utilize nGlide - http://www.zeus-software.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=509

... but much of the reception to the game seems negative - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slave_Zero#Critical_reception.

With some degree of objectivity, can you say the game is actually decent?

---------------------------------

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXM93fKRarY does make it seem like a fun shoot 'em up! Hopefully the OST will be included. :)

I don't think it's Powerslave, even I loved the game.
I think that if the hint concerned Powerslave it would a hint about its European name: Exhumed.

I don't know about the actual hint, I am so bad that I have stopped trying ;P
