You can read (in french) a test of Boulder Dash XL already out on Xbox360 (13th July) and on PC (end of 2011).

There are at least 3 possible gameplays :

• arcade : easier as you cant be crushed, you have life points (no direct death)...
• puzzle : more interesting than the arcade mode
• retro : back to the original !

You can read the history about The Oliver Twins on their web site, they are the authors of the Dizzy games (and many others).

GameBase CPC V21 is out since 14th July 2011. As is my new nephew Matéo born the same day at 2:51pm, the poor kid doesnt know yet who is his uncle (a raving mad Amstrad CPC geek).

Caprice v2.8 for Palm OS is out since 28th June 2011. For Palm OS you can also use CoPaCabana v0.75 (also exists for windows).

Following v2.0, QuickCMD v2.1 is out, a shell-based user interface by NoRecess. Since v2.0 QuickCMD is a real ROM (small RAM footprint) and adds new featureslike low-level file management. It's now written in assembly with a bit of C, instead of using C only. Use CTRL + TAB from Basic to launch QuickCMD.
