Merry Christmas 2017 to all and a lot of new Amstrad CPC programs under your christmas tree.

The Amstrad CPC reflexion game by Rafael Castillo and McKlain : Baba's Palace is available for download. It won the first place at the CPCRetroDev 2017.

I started to play it, really a nice game, but I really had to gather my neurons to pass some stages, my poor brain is overheating.

You have memory problems with the age ? It's quite normal, you arent anymore that young if you have known the Amstrad CPC in the start of your life.

So it's time to revive all these lost memories by going on Memory Full by Toms, Beb and Hicks, where you will be able to read all what is related to the Amstrad CPC demoscene, quite a subject.

Thanks to Hicks for the original idea who started a web site to be used for writing a book about demoscene, helped by Toms for the web programmation and feeding the database and Beb to enrich the visual aspect of the site..

Already presented, OursoN Retrogame this time did a medley of Amstrad CPC games from films featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger :

• Predator
• Total Recall
• Double détente
• Terminator 2
• the Running man

His latest video (5 days ago) is about Saboteur 2, Defender of the crown, 3D grand prix, Macadam bumper, Shackled and Venom stikes back.

DSP v0.18 WIP is available, it emulates several computers including the Amstrad CPC.

The last version of CHIPNSFX tracker+player suite by CNGSoft is out since the 8th December 2017 : minor patch allowing longer title and description strings and accepting keys O, S and J as synonyms of Y on "yes/no" questions.

Exiting a long hibernation, I discover that Novabug and Zeusdaz, two Youtubbers who are speaking about Amstrad CPC games (but not only), are fighting on 8bit games for the one with the best score since a moment : it's their 38th fight, on Impossaball this time.

And I was thinking one day to propose to an Amstrad Youtubber a fight on on 2 players game, well the idea isnt very new, nice try Genesis8bit !

Mr_Lou is active on Amstrad CPC scene, he wrote the game Sort'Em in 2009 (LuBlu Entertainment), programmed with Z88dk and cpcrslib.

Today, he finished the first issue of his 8-Bit Memoirs, a free ebook of his personal 8bit experience (about for example the Philips Videopac G7000, the Amstrad CPC and the Amiga) with more than 5 hours of video, illustrations (by Marlene "BlueAngel" Johansen), screenshots... It's free, but you can buy the physical collector edition for 17 €.
