First announced in 2017 using the CPCTelera framework, Salvador Cantero finally used the MK1 game engine by the Mojons Twins for his platform game Red Planet, the initial version was for ZX Spectrum. You can see the game being finished on Youtube by Amstrad Maniaque.

The game is written by :

• Salvador Cantero : programmation, graphics

Retro Erik has done a vidéo on the use of a USB key for mass storage on any PC XT or AT under ms-dos (see the Lo-tech web page).

FreddyV is working on a modification of the driver for better speed on a PC XT or AT. It will be easier then using a Compact Flash card with a XT-CF.

Retro Tech Chris has made a 3D model of a bracket for this ISA card.

See the thread on Vogons.

Logiker has organized the second Amscii compo with all the proposed compositions, now is the time to vote for them till the 30th June 2022.

Two very recent videos in french about the history of Amstrad :

• by le Joueur du Grenier (a little on on the information side)

The War of the Solice is a 3D remake of the Lords of Midnight game (Mike Singleton) made by The Frozen Empire (Andrew Smart and Wayne Britcliffe), for windows and MacOS.

I wrote about it years ago, last version was releasd in 2021, see the interesting trailer on Youtube.

Last game by Ivan AVILA is Goody, el regreso, it has been written with the 8bp library in basic. Goody is a platform game.

Benjamin Yoris was working on a Wonder Boy remake since 2020, but this project is now on hold.

You can download it on CPCWiki to see for yourself. It isn't possible to finish the level as the distance between two clouds are too big.

The last version of the Amstrad CPC emulator CPCEC by César Nicolas Gonzalez, was released the 15th June 2022.
