Duck Out by CNGSoft is an Amstrad CPC conversion of a ZX Spectrum game created by Dro Soft.

You play a duck who starts in the kitchen of a restaurant, armed with a frying pan, and you must bash various opponents as you make your way out of the kitchen, into the city, and then to the park where you can be reunited with your girlfriend.

CNGSoft has made several improvements, including faster scrolling, modifications to the controls to make the game easier to play, and addition of sound effects and music (provided by Daniel Canales).

The information was in the issue 176 of Retro Gamer magazine, a new cartridge game for Amstrad GX4000, 464+ and 6128+ is available by SOHDE : BEARS!.

It's a maze/adventure/RPG game where you are a plucky young bear living in the forest surrounding Grizzly Manor. Something is afoot, Lady Grumpleton, resident of Grizzly Manor, hasn't been seen for days. It's up to you to set out from your cave and investigate !

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..
