West Bank is a spanish arcade Amstrad CPC game released in 1986 by Dinamic Software. An english version was released by Gremlins Graphics in 1987. Three doors in front if you, will you be fast enough to shoot the desesperados without harming innocents ?

After the windows remake FitoWestBank by Adolfito, it's now an Android remake by the same author which has been released in January 2019.

SAMdisk v3.8.11 by Simon Owen is out since the 18th May 2018.

The utility supports transfers between floppy disks and disk images, and is designed to work with almost any soft-sectored disk format compatible with the PC floppy controller, including some copy-protected formats.

Low-level floppy device access requires the fdrawcmd.sys driver to be installed.

• added read and write support .qdos (QL) disk images
• added --irregular option for blind output image if first track isn't regular
• added --fill to set filler byte for regular formats
• fixed setting perpendicular mode for 1Mbps data rate
• fixed reading directly to single-sided formats from a:/b:
• fixed short data indicator showing on no-data sectors
• fixed raw output not using source format fill byte for missing sectors
• changed raw output to allow blank head 1 to mirror head 0 format

There is also a Samdisk 4.0 beta version on github for windows, linux and MacOS.

About 31 years later after trying for the first time at 10 years old, Jaymanu did finish the game Relief Action by Loriciels released in 1987. You should read the thread on CPCWiki for the informations, pokes and a SNR file to replay his game on WinAPE (put the emulation speed at 400% for less slowness).

There is an article about Relief Action by Sylvestre (french) on his site.

I think I just found my perfect future birthday present, an Amstrad CPC phone flip case on Ebay.

British sense of humor ? I will let you discover what happens when someone comes to a LAN party with an Amstrad CPC+ (english subtitles).

Please give this man a mouse, better add also a M4 board with wifi to connect to the LAN network, a Zmem and a playcity could help too for better playing.
