Here is a HD video by Metr81 of the Amstrad CPC game La Guerra de Gamber by ESP Soft released on the 30th January 2014 for the 30th anniversary of the Amstrad CPC.

It's a robocop/green beret like game with a horizontal scrolling with 3 levels, and a bonus level like the Prohibition game between each level.

You can download La Guerra de Gamber on Amstrad.ESP.

The principal musical theme was written by McKlain and can be heard on SoundCloud.

Ces ordinateurs sont dangereux is a book written by François Quentin about the Amstrad CPC. Long lost, it is now available with the agreement of the author on Amstrad.eu's forum as PDF (Epub link, PDF link, as Amstrad.eu is not up atm). Happy reading ! Thanks to ced64k for his scanning work.

The 6 issues of the newspaper CPC Attack! are available on CPCWiki (in the forum, not in the CPC Attack! page of the site).

Light Forge is a vertically scrolling shoot them up for Amstrad CPC, C64 and ZX Spectrum, edited by FTL (Faster Than Light) in 1986. A very good game, one of the few I was able to finish on Amstrad CPC in the good old times. Music is written by Ron Hubbard, sadly it is missing from the Amstrad CPC version. So to listen it you will have to go for the C64 version of Light Force on Youtube.
