# Blues Brothers
|
|
|
|
This is a rewrite of the [Blues Brothers](https://www.mobygames.com/game/blues-brothers) and [Blues Brothers: Jukebox Adventure](https://www.mobygames.com/game/blues-brothers-jukebox-adventure) game engines developed by [Titus Interactive](https://www.mobygames.com/company/titus-interactive-sa).
|
|
|
|
 
|
|
|
|
There is also early support for [Prehistorik 2](https://www.mobygames.com/game/prehistorik-2).
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
### Blues Brothers
|
|
|
|
The data files of the Amiga or DOS version, full game or [demo](https://archive.org/details/TheBluesBrothers_1020), are required.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
*.BIN, *.CK1, *.CK2, *.SQL, *.SQV, *.SQZ
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For sounds and music, the Amiga version files or the [ExoticA](https://www.exotica.org.uk/wiki/The_Blues_Brothers) set need to be copied.
|
|
|
|
### Jukebox Adventure
|
|
|
|
The data files of the DOS version are required.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
*.EAT, *.MOD
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Prehistorik 2
|
|
|
|
The data files of the DOS version, full game or [demo](http://cd.textfiles.com/ccbcurrsh1/demos/pre2.zip), are required.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
*.SQZ, *.TRK
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Changes
|
|
|
|
Compared to the original DOS executables, the rewritten engines feature :
|
|
|
|
- horizontal scrolling
|
|
- configurable screen size
|
|
- game cheats : unlimited lifes and energy, no hit
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Running
|
|
|
|
By default, the executable loads the data files from the current directory.
|
|
This can be changed using command line switches.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
