I dont know yet Kim Justice, but she did a video of her 15 best old new new games for Amstrad CPC featuring Amstrad youtubers including Top Hat Gaming Man, Novabug, DJ Slope, Yellow Belly and Xyphoe.

If you didnt buy the physical edition of Operation Alexandra (4Mhz), you wont have the original sound track written by McKlain.

But you can at least listen one track : Greater Evil. Honestly it's just gorgeous.

I invite you to read the french article on Amstrad.EU which title is Retrogaming, between nostalgia and business.

See below the two youtube video mentionned in this article about the Amstrad CPC games featuring the Roland character :

• History of Roland and the Amstrad CPC (french)
• Guide to Amstrad's Roland

Two years after discovering the Amstrad CPC at 43 years, Oldschool is Beautiful is making a summary of using this computer (french).

Started since 1971 computer science was being introducted in french schools (6 years to 18 years). In 1985 the plan Informatique pour tous was bringing Thomson MO5 and TO7/70 computers linked in a network controlled by a PC with two 5,25 inc disk drives (later with a hard disk). What most of people like me didnt know, there was a definitive plus for technology classes : Youpi is a robotic arm with 5 liberty degrees made by JD Productique. It is controlled through the parralel port with a basic program and assembler routines on a Thomson MO5. You will find below two french interesting links :

• the réference site by Edouard Forler
• the assocation VoRoBoTics

Youyoudid was able to get a Youpi which he wanted since his young age. He wrote about it on CPCRulez. In a frist video he is controlling the arm in basic, but the movement is slow so he wanted to accelarate it with a basic compiler :

But finally thanks to the Turbo-Pascal compiler (CP/M) he is able to give a new youth to the robotic arm to let it serve a drink from a plastic bottle.

You can download a beta of Raid over Moscow for Amiga written by Erik Hogan (Earok).

Le Fétiche Micro did play and finish the game Sapiens v3.0 for windows on Youtube.

ATTENTION, you need a VGA monitor which supports 15 khz !

The VGA adaptator is now available for only 13 euros.

Someone just got a nice PC keyboard (made by WASD Keyboards) for his anniversary, following the reading of a CPCWiki thread.

The winner for the cover of the physical edition of the game ERIDU : the space port by Jose Javier Garcia Aranda has been chosen. The other covers are all nice though.

GGP will release a beta of their Toki port for Amstrad CPC tonight.

Oldschool is beautiful did post yesterday a video of the first level.

There is also a video by Xyphoe of the Toki beta.

Merry Christmas 2019, happiness and health for all people you are caring for.

Below there is the Christmas tree done at my work place. I did buy an Amstrad PCW 9512, dont ask me why my colleagues thought it could be the Christmas crib at the foot of the tree...

After ZCN and CP/Mish, you have now a third possibility to use CP/M programs on your Amstrad Notepad NC100 : CP/NC par Nils M Holm.

The firmware v1.0.9 of the Imperium Solo by Duke is available. It's an adaptator to use USB joysticks (PS4, Xbox One...) on a standard joystick port of an Amstrad CPC (and later ZX Spectrum, C64, Amiga and Atari ST).

GGP is working since 2018 on an Amstrad CPC version of the well know arcade game Toki.

Oldschool is beautiful did interview his two authors at the RGC 2019 meeting.

In this video you learn what GGP means : Gros Gland Production, which translates to Big Acorn (oaknut) Production, yes really.
