If you read Amstrad CPC forums, maybe you have read a few short messages by MacDeath. No I was only joking, you have read a lot of lenghty messages by him ! But he has also done some videos on Youtube on his prefered subject : Amstrad CPC graphics. The latest video by MacDeath is Amstrad CPC Graphics Live [Se02Ep04] (french audio).

To load an Amstrad CPC tape (or a ZX Spectrum one), you can use the old method : using a tape player. Or you can do it like a geek and use Android phone with tapDancer Virtual Datasette, but it's still a bit low tech. So for the geeks used to the HxC floppy emulator or the Gothek USB, you can use the TZX Duino.
Habi Soft finished his interface to add on an Amstrad PCW a PS2 keyboard, video (PAL/NSTC), joystick and a mouse.

El Capitan Trueno, an arcade game in two parts by Dinamic Software in 1989, comes from a comic by Victor Mora in 1965.
The Amstrad CPC game is a good one, and for a spanish game, its difficulty isnt too hard this time.
There is also a PC version of El Capitan Trueno (Abandonware). It has CGA graphics in 4 colors, I prefer the Amstrad CPC version personnally.
The tweet comes from one of the original authors of the Amstrad CPC game : Raúl Ortega Palacios.
Bruce Lee is a great classic on Amstrad CPC by Datasoft in 1984, one game that I finished years ago. Zeusdaz did a Youtube video on Bruce Lee 1 (ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, C64, Atari 8-bit), but also about Buce Lee 2 by Bruno R. Marcos in 2013 for windows and linux (Bruce lee 2 in Zeusdaz video), and also Ultimate Bruce Lee, a very nice remake for PC.
You can see a speed run of Ultimate Bruce Lee on Youtube.
