08/22/2004 Add your banner here
I am changing the static 2 banners at the bottom of this page to a random banner like it's done for the logo. If you want to see a link to your own Amstrad site with your banner, please send me a link to the image I should use.
I have corrected two items in the 21th August news just below. Firstly, the first forum is the one of the El Sitio del CPC web site (which seems to not work with IE, but fine enough with Firefox). Secondly, the link to the second forum was the same as the first one, now corrected.
A final point for tonight, even if it's not about Amstrad world. To internet explorer users, I advise you to change for Firefox. Tabbed browsing (CTRL + T) is very nice to use, and you will have less security problems than with IE. One day you have to turn the page, and change. But that doesnt mean you can really change your life and throw your Amstrad CPC to the bin :-)

08/08/2004 Data base and remakes
With a magic wand I just changed the remakes page from an html page to a PHP page created from a MySQL data base (with more than 5000 Amstrad CPC games). This data base comes from the ALL_CPC file by Frédéric Herlem. A big thanks to him for his ant work.
This data base will let me add a lot of content like as I was giving an hint the 1st august. Today it is used for the remakes page, tomorrow for the commercial games which are now legally available (to the right of the remakes in the menu), and for the next days, I let you guess.
Just a last word, some download links from this new remake page doesnt work, give me a few days to upload new and updated remakes to ftp.lip6.fr
