Two years ago Syx et TotO released an emulation of the original arcade ROM of Pac Man.

Today it's a new version of Pac-Man for Amstrad CPC with a speed bump, to let you play this classic game with more pleasure.

You will need 128 Kb and to import the original arcade roms inside the .DSK with an utility.

This Pac-Man emulator for Amstrad CPC is based on the work by Simon Owen for Sam Coupe and ZX Spectrum.

Today with the LCD screens, the Amstrad CPC emulators don't display the same result than with a real Amstrad CPC and a Cathodic Ray Tub (CRT) television.

So Alex76gr has created a collection of 75 loading screens pictures of Amstrad CPC games with a scanline effect (1536x1080 resolution).

However adding scanlines isnt enough to looks like a CRT television set.

Winape and Caprice32 are 2 Amstrad CPC emulators which can provide a CRT rendering.

You have still 3 days to be able to buy Giana Sisters Twisted Dreams on Humble Bundle (weekly). Nine dollars will be enough to get it, and money goes to charities.

Nice music by the way.

A new Bolloware game : Sven.

Here is a HD video by Metr81 of the Amstrad CPC game La Guerra de Gamber by ESP Soft released on the 30th January 2014 for the 30th anniversary of the Amstrad CPC.

It's a robocop/green beret like game with a horizontal scrolling with 3 levels, and a bonus level like the Prohibition game between each level.

You can download La Guerra de Gamber on Amstrad.ESP.

The principal musical theme was written by McKlain and can be heard on SoundCloud.

Light Forge is a vertically scrolling shoot them up for Amstrad CPC, C64 and ZX Spectrum, edited by FTL (Faster Than Light) in 1986. A very good game, one of the few I was able to finish on Amstrad CPC in the good old times. Music is written by Ron Hubbard, sadly it is missing from the Amstrad CPC version. So to listen it you will have to go for the C64 version of Light Force on Youtube.

ScummVM now supports the english version of the game le Manoir de Mortvielle (created by Lankhor) : Mortville Manor.

Kubmic is a new Amstrad CPC puzzle game by les Crackers Velus.

You must match a pattern on the screen, but you can only move a whole verticale or horizontal line. The first puzzle is easy, it's up to you to check the next one (20 puzzle inside).

Vox populi, vox dei, so don't hesitate to go vote on Push'n'Pop about what you consider the best 2013 Amstrad CPC productions.
