There are at least two US revisions of Cabal. The nebulous "World" set uses a joystick instead.

The Japanese, North American, and European releases use trackball controls. The correct palette number, 0C, makes the message on the monolith legible.

The monolith in Level 1-2 seems to have accidentally been assigned the wrong palette number, 06. This graphic was apparently around before the sixth level was cut from the game.Īn unused power-up that would give the player an extra life (which are represented by hearts in the game). The levels in Cabal were originally called scenes.

This is effectively dummied out by an RTS opcode at the start of the subroutine, but putting the following code in cabal.xml will restore this Unused Graphics However, there's unused code in the game that would spawn four fireballs in the explosion - two to the left, two to the right - that could also kill the player. Normally, when enemy explosives land on the player's level, they just explode. There's no object data for any of the four screens, nor do there seem to be any sprites in the object graphics ROM that match up with the buildings shown in the level intro. Unfortunately, only the screen and tilemap data remain in the ROM. Perhaps they were debating on which of the levels would end up as Level-5 and which one would be cut. Though the level intro screen says this is Level-5, the internal order of the game's levels suggests that this was supposed to be Level-1. Put the following cheat code in MAME's cabal.xml cheat file and enable it to replace Level-1 with this unused 1 Six levels were designed for Cabal, but an entire level was dummied out before release.

"Seibu" probably refers to Seibu Kaihatsu, which would go on to release Dynamite Duke, a shooter with gameplay very similar to Cabal, in 1989. "Michel" is Michiya Hirasawa, who programmed the sound engine for TAD Corporation's arcade games. Pressing 1P Start will (try to) write FFFF to the ROM to mark the end of the demo After that, the game goes into an infinite loop to prevent further recording. Place the following code in MAME's cabal.xml cheat file (or the cheat file for the Cabal set of your choice) to re-enable the demo game will try to write both player's inputs and the current RNG value to the main board, but since the commercial boards are read-only it doesn't quite work. The tools are available on the official Shogo website.There's a demo recorder that's enabled if ROM address 0x3FFF0 is set to 0000: It's set to FFFF in commercial sets. Nothing would make us prouder than for someone from the next generation of game designers to say that Monolith's release of the LithTech engine's tools and Shogo's source code was the catalyst for them to become a game designer."Īnd in fact, many authors and level designers who first worked with shareware tools to create add-ons for Doom or Quake have ended up working in the game industry as level designers.

"Releasing the full source code for Shogo is Monolith's contribution to the Internet gaming community. "Today's hard-core gamer thrives on being able to modify games to suit their own needs, and to express their creativity," said Jason Hall, Monolith's CEO. Currently you can only get shards from EPS itd be nice if there were also items you could get from total damage dealt in a game and total EP generated in a.

One token of this is the fact that is very easy for mod authors to swap textures, models and levels between the two current LithTech games, and any future releases. Games built on the LithTech engine have been designed to be flexible and easily accessed by mod authors and level designers, allowing them to practically create their own game based on the work done by Monolith.
