Total Eclipse 2 is an action/adventure game featuring scaling and rotating polygon graphics. Having successfully destroyed the evil shrine in Total Eclipse, your mission now, is to rebuild the mighty Sphinx that was destroyed in the ancient revolution. Its former greatness can only be restored before the Eclipse, which is now due in just one hour. You must locate and collect the 12 parts of the Sphinx that were hidden in the underground network of tunnels and cavers.
Installation
For more information on how ScummVM uses game data files, see the user documentation.
Total Eclipse was released in a number of platforms over the years. Depending on release you have, you need to extract and/or copy different files.
ZX Spectrum releases
If the ZX Spectrum release is from a tape, it should be saved first from the original cassette into a tzx file. Make sure you save the complete disk, not just a single program from it. Once the tape is saved, install tzxtools you will need to extract three files:
- The title screen image, which should be renamed as "totaleclipse2.zx.title" and has exactly 6912 bytes.
- The game data, which should be renamed as "totaleclipse2.zx.data" and is around 36 kbytes.
- The border image, which should be renamed as "totaleclipse2.zx.border" and has exactly 6912 bytes.
For instance, for the original Incentive release (1989), you can inspect their files using the tzxls command:
$ tzxls totaleclipse2.tzx
...
5 Turbo Speed Data Block 6912 bytes of bogus header
6 Turbo Speed Data Block 36055 bytes of bogus header
7 Turbo Speed Data Block 6912 bytes of bogus header
In order to extract these files, use the tzxcat command:
tzxcat totaleclipse2.tzx -b 5 > totaleclipse2.zx.title
tzxcat totaleclipse2.tzx -b 6 > totaleclipse2.zx.data
tzxcat totaleclipse2.tzx -b 7 > totaleclipse2.zx.border
Amstrad CPC releases
All the Amstrad CPC releases should be saved first from the original cassette/disk into a Extended dsk file.
Once the data is saved, use Disk Image Manager to open the image and extract the following files:
- te2.bi1
- te2.bi2
- te2.bi3
Make sure the files are extracted with header.
