Capital Punishment is the most technically advanced and
most playable combat game on Amiga. It features:
- a specially developed state-of-the-art bob routine with a real-time horizontal bob flip that can animate two large characters, covering a combined area of over 30,000 pixels, at a rate of 25 frames per second
- a horizontal scroll of 50 frames per second with acceleration and deceleration
- pixel-by-pixel drawn frames of perfectly smooth animation for every character
- dazzling backgrounds in 256 colours from a palette of 16.7 million
- a unique zone editor that has been created to maximize the combat experience through an advanced collision detection system using four collision zones (head, body, legs, and attack) for every character in every frame
- semi-transparent 3D shadow that casts itself on the characters and the floors by following the characters' movements at the rate of 25 frames per second
- additional visual effects such as:
fog, light diminishing, morphing...
slow-motion replay;
realistic blood animation;

Amiga 1200 or Amiga 4000.
Hard drive. A partition you will install the game to should have 20Mb of free space.
It means you did not have 20Mb of free hard drive space in that partition before starting the installation. Delete some files to get full 20 Mb free.
You did not pay attention to the yellow note at the bottom panel of the box. Please read it carefully
Yes. Capital Punishment is the most CHIP RAM hungry game ever on Amiga. So, it may very easily happen that you don't have enough of it (higher resolution workbench, background picture...).
CHIP RAM is limited to 2Mb on AGA Amigas. This memory is reserved for graphics and music. Although your Amiga may have much more total RAM then those 2Mb, the "Not enough memory" message is related to the shortage of CHIP RAM, not the total amount of RAM.
Because CP is the most CHIP RAM hungry game, higher resolution workbench, background picture, or any similar CHIP RAM requesting process will not let you run the game directly from Workbench. In this case you should use a "boot disk" or make RAD and reset script. (we will soon post one here)
A simple reset will not clean the memory completely, so the game might lock when trying to load something.
Technical explanation: What we had to do in order to have so much CHIP RAM available for the game was to get rid of all the unnecessary system parts from RAM, and to compress the rest. Sometimes, if the memory is defragmented (computer wasn't turned off prior to playing) the system just can't be decompressed to load files.
"Boot disk".
Come on, now. He is not that hard. The problem is you need practice. Did you really expect to beat him up just like that? Well, Qwesul didn't choose him for no reason, right? :)
OK, so, here is a little help:
- Do not enter close combat with him. Keep a distance.
- The best time to hit him is using flying kicks when he starts approaching you.
- Getting him into the right corner and using the fastest hits is quite risky, but very useful.
- Cheats. :)
Yes. There are quite a few cheats, specials, combos, and even fakes. But, as you might have guessed, we won't just tell them yet. Hint: Read Amiga magazines.
Also, cheats will be e-mailed to registered Capital Punishment players. So, send those registration cards ASAP!
In practice mode you can only play first three levels of the "Epic" (plus "The teachers"). To see the whole castle you'll have to enter "normal" mode.
With "tug of war" you would always have all the energy for the following fight after a win. This way you'll have to use more strategy. (yes, you are right, we just made it harder on you :)
You can't. "Quit" option will just save your status. As explained above, we had to get rid of the system in order to have as many frames of animation and as much music as possible.
It's the safest way to get all your resources back (clean memory above all).
