Gili soft releases (Denmark)

Post by myloch »

I casually stuck on this page while searching for msdos ports of Sherston's educationals.
Apparently this (defunct?) danish society ported and localized a lot of educationals of various foreign software houses (Compedia, mostly) to danish. Interesting!
No signs of them on TDC, LW, O-G.RU... O_o

Hint: look at that page from the Danish Data Historical Society, some games even have download links!

Here's part of Gili Soft danish localizations of various software made by foreign software houses, apparently user Nostalgikeren (YT) owns many of them.
I'm particularly interested in finding Egyptens Hemmelighed because this is supposedly the Dos port of Arcventure 2: the egyptians (mentioned in msdos lists like Mobygames).

Too bad I totally missed that! :(

Well at least I now have confirmation Gili soft released at least two localized versions of Arcventure 2: one in danish (Egyptens Hemmelighed) and one in swedish (Egyptens Hemlighet). Still no proof of English port, made directly by Sherston. I'm quite sure they never ported number 3-4 for Dos though.
