Another Youtube channel : Khomenor, like ChinnyVision he tests games, but not only the Amstrad CPC version. For Contrat / Gryzor, it was written only on 8bit computers/consoles, no 16bit.

JB Le Daron is a french Youtube channel I just jumped on. In this fist episode, he is talking about speedrun : finish a game as fast as possible, often seen on other 8bit computers and consoles, but rarely (or never) on Amstrad CPC to my knowing. And it's Barbarian by Palace Software in 1987 which you will see done quickly.

After having seen the video, there should be on CPC-Power that you should know some SNR files which are played games (speedrun or not) which you can read with the emulator WinAPE.

Will you be able to beat the game Barbarian in less than 6 minutes and 12 seconds, the record made by Kukulcan (CPC-Power) ? The speedrun starts at 6 minutes in the video.

After having listened to the musical remakes of Geovarius on Soundcloud, it's time to see him playing Saboteur 2 on his keytar (keyboard guitar) starting at 8 minutes and 5 seconds.

A remake of the music of Marauder (Hewson in 1988) by Geovarius on Soundcloud is available.

A remake of the music of Deflektor (Vortex in 1987) by Geovarius on Soundcloud is available.

A remake of the music of Airwolf II (Elite in 1987) by Geovarius on Soundcloud is available.

New version of the Amstrad CPC core for MiST by Renaud Helias is available.

• IO_ACK trigger in edge, not in state (better in some scrolling...)
• WAIT_n generator ignoring M1 while IO_ACK
• OSD entry : "MEM_wr" mode : quick or slow. quick by default.

quick : Arkanoid II, Prehistoric II. Ecole demo. Pinball Dreams
slow : Saboteur 2. Still Rising demo.

A remake of the music of Saboteur II by Geovarius on Soundcloud is available. Sometimes when you look for the words 'Amstrad CPC' on a search engine, you find things.

And now the next part by Nostalgia Nerd : Amstrad CPC story part 2.
