Usually Tollis is making musical remakes of Amstrad CPC games, but this time is a musical remake of the Amstrad CPC demo Phortem by Condense in 2013, a nice remake.

Counterpoint is a GUI for msdos seen on the Amstrad PC 5000 serie (download the system disks of the Amstrad PC 5286 by Banjo. You will find more informations on Counterpoint on Banjo's site and also an utility to write icorns for Counterpoint by VileRancor. John Elliott has also a page on Counterpoint.

Today Frédéric Cherpe is working on his Project Counterpoint Hommage (CPH) :

Counterpoint was a graphical user interface found on some Amstrad PC models in the early 1990s. Counterpoint Homage Project (CPH) aims to revive the spirit of Counterpoint. It modernizes this interface while preserving its retro aesthetic. It's as if we were still using Amstrad PCs running DOS in 2025. This project allows enthusiasts to rediscover the unique user experience of Counterpoint in a contemporary environment.

It runs on the 8086 @ 8 MHz with the same sluggishness as back in the day! The user experience is improved with the 386 at 25 MHz, normally like on the Amstrad Mega-PC, but I don't have one to test on. So, for now, there's a VGA version and a CGA Monochrome version. I'm planning to make a 320x200 CGA version later, with a choice of four color palettes.

This interface uses my own scripting language, "Nova Script," the result of many years of work. But I'll probably make lighter versions without this language, for example, for the 8086 and 8088. I still need to write the language selection button, because yes, this interface can be in any language, but right now it will only be available in French and English. Of course, you can manually write the configuration files to set your own language.

I'll also set up a website with a download page for the different versions and a donation page. It takes up a lot of my time, and I'd like to dedicate more time to this project. So, a few small donations would greatly help me offer you more features, etc. I'll also need to write a user manual in French and English; the amount of work is enormous.

Felisuco has made at the start of October 2025 an interview of Mark Eric Jones who is one of the engineer of the Amstrad CPC and PCW. The interview is in spanish but as usual there is a translation possible on Youtube.

And as a bonus, a short video by Felisuco on the best Dandanator possible.

Today by using generative AI, Frangin2003 offers youSRAM Remaster a boosted version of SRAM. Instead of using a simple syntaxical analyzer it is using local LLM with Ollama using the Llama 3.1 model by Facebook. It offers also full HD graphics also made using AI : DALL·E 3 and RunwayML.

You can also find SRAM Remaster in two Github depots : SRAM Remaster and SRAM Remasters Assets.

If really neeeded, you can check the solution of the game in the video below, don't abuse it though.
