This is a rewrite of the Blues Brothers and Blues Brothers: Jukebox Adventure game engines developed by Titus Interactive.

There is also support for Prehistorik 2.

The data files of the Amiga or DOS version, full game or demo, are required.

*.BIN, *.CK1, *.CK2, *.SQL, *.SQV, *.SQZ

For sounds and music, the Amiga version files or the ExoticA set need to be copied.

The data files of the DOS version are required.

*.EAT, *.MOD

The data files of the DOS version, full game or demo, are required.

*.SQZ, *.TRK

Compared to the original DOS executables, the rewritten engines feature:

• horizontal scrolling
• configurable screen size
• dynamically resizable window to control game screen size
• in-game screen controls for screen size, scale & palette
• on-screen messaging
• game cheats: unlimited lifes and energy, no hit
• game pad support with a user-defined jump button

In addition to the default controls, the engine provides several convenience in-game keys for display control.

The screen size lock allows to hold a given game screen size whilst manipulating the window or scale.

In-game palette cycling is only available in Prehistorik 2.

By default, the executable loads the data files from the current directory. This can be changed using command line switches.
