Lachlan Keown, who lives in New Zealand, just released its latest Amstrad CPC production : Robotron 6128, a conversion of the classic arcade game, if you use keyboard, WASD to move and cursor keys to shoot.

He is also the author of Sewer Rat, take the cheese before the aliens does (poor aliens, eating cheese is awful).

He has also written AMSprite for windows (using .Net framework v2.0) or AMSprite for linux/mac (using MONO), which is a cross-development GUI tool to generate ready-to-use sprites and loading screens for the Amstrad CPC in assembly language (CPC+ hardware sprites supported).

GameBase CPC v9 is available.

Ignacio Pérez Gil. has released a remake of Alien 8 for windows/mac with a nice graphic touch.

2CDT by Kevin Thacker, a line command windows utility to add files into a .CDT file (image of a tape) with a GUI by DevilMarkus in java.

CPC Game Reviews used to review only commercial games. Good news is now they will also review newly released games, so go read the last update.

I will myself report the games in the following news later (and add them to the amstrad database).

Betiled! by Computer Emuzone Games Studio is an Amstrad CPC reflexion game, a clone of the famous game Bejeweled. The time is limited to remove tiles on the board by swapping 2 of them.

Sort'Em by LuBlu Entertainment is an Amstrad CPC game programmed with Z88dk and cpcrslib. You must sort blue and red balls which falls down the screen, putting them to the left or the right according to the color just with the space bar, simple to play, but not so easy with the 3 levels of difficulty. It was first seen on portable phones.
