The Game Boy has just been emulated on Amstrad CPC permitting to play Tetris.

So would a pure Amstrad CPC port by Crazy Piri still be interesting ? In my opinion yes.

So Crazy Piri is a group created the 19th December 2019 for the CPC Gamedev Contest 2020 organized by Pascal Visa for the Facebook group Amstrad CPC pour toujours and beyond.

The group was founded by :

• Cedric "leZone" Grandemange (graphics),
• Alexis "KOOPA" Lambin (musician),
• Miguel "RedBug" Vanhove (coder).

Amstrad CPC World has finished the 50 levels of the game Brick Rick (by Reidrac) in 47 minutes sur Youtube.

40Crisis has written a Game Boy emulator for Amstrad CPC which allows only to play the original Tetris game (the ROM is of course NOT included with the emulator).

To put the v1.1 ROM of Tetris (v1.0 won't work) inside the Temu .DSK disk image, you can use ManageDSK (don't forget to add the Amsdos header). The name of the file must be rom.bin.

Attention you must use this emulator with an Amstrad CPC 6128 (run"temu) or 6128+ (run"temuplus").

This emulator could for the future emulate other games but the mapper for example isnt emulated so few other games would work.

For the keyboard commands, please read the included documentation.

Brick Rick by Reidrac (Juan Martinez) is available on his web site.

Reidrac has been interviewed by Kyuran.

The demo of the adventure game Tristam Island by Hugo Labrande is available for a gameplay estimated to 1 hour-1 hour 30 (first part of the game). The definitive game will be available in a few weeks for 3,99 euros. This adventure game uses the PunyInform engine by Fredrik Ramsberg.

Totems by ESP Soft was released in 2012. It's a twisted remake of Columns by Sega (nice game by the way) with a Tetris mechanic. It seems I missed it, but in may 2020 ESP Soft has released Totems Enhanced Edition that you are able to order as a physical edition on Bitmap Soft. This new version allows you to play versus your Amstrad CPC, who will be smarter you or a thirty years old computer ?

The football game CPC Soccer by Voxeltower is available for download.

You can still pre-order the game on Bitmap Soft for 10 pounds.

CPC Soccer is a football game WIP by Voxeltower. You can now pre-order the game on Bitmap Soft for 10 pounds.

Roudoudou is writing a gamebook adventure engine like the Choose your own adventure books on Youtube (in french : livre dont vous êtes le héros).

If you use the link up there you start directly at 1mn25 with sound, no sound at start of the video if you see it directly below.

If it was possible, I would vote for JB Le Daron singing with piano. To be listened to religiously.

After the physyical edition of Space Moves sold by Matra announced for 21,45 euros, there is now an upgraded version available.

Released in April 2020, Las Aventuras de Rudolphine Rur is a spanish adventure game written by Dwalin where you are the shoemaker Rudolphine Rur who has everything to be happy but still is going to a dangerous place.

The game was first written in 2005 with the Superglus software (by Uto) which is a port of the virtual machine Glulx. In 2015 the game was ported to the ngPAWS still by Uto which lets create an online version. Finally in 2019, work started to port the game with the DAAD software created initially by Tim Gilberts and actually maintained by Stefan Vogt. Daad can create ports to many computers including the one which interests us :

• Amstrad CPC
  • tape version without graphics, with short places descriptions and answers
  • disk version with graphics, with short places descriptions and answers
  • version M4 Wifi with graphics, with short places descriptions (but long description by using the command D) and long answers
• Amstrad PCW without graphics, with long places descriptions and short answers

For the pleasure of your ears, here are two musical remixes of the game International Karate :

As stated by @adventuron on Twitter, why not making an adventure game for this contest using Adventuron and the DAAD software ?
