Edge Grinder, a Shoot’em Up in the spirit of R-Type, was released some days ago. It was programmed for “Format War”, which main idea is to start developing games for different machines. The lead platform for Edge Grinder was that C64, well, and Paul Kooistra, who already brought such great games like Sub Hunter, Star Sabre and Dead on time to the CPC, did it and converted Edge Grinder to the CPC. You can read more about the story of the game, get the source code and of course download it on its Format War page. I also added a download to this posting.
The CPC version of the game Sub Hunter, written by Richard Bayliss and Frank Gasking, is now available for download at Psytronik. The game was converted by Paul Kooistra, who already brought us the games Star Sabre and Dead on Time. It features 25 levels where you have to destroy the fishs and save the swimmers. The download includes the disk and tape version. If you want to buy a physical copy instead, you can get one from the Binary Zone Interactive Retro Store.
Video review of the game by Xyphoe:
Axelay, well-known for his great game Star Sabre (128k), has released a new action game “Dead on Time” for the CPC. You have to defeat enemy waves to earn time. If your time runs out, the game is over. Simple, isn’t it
? The game itself features nice graphics and music, so be sure to download and play it.
You can download it directly from Axelays website or at the end of this news article. The game will be available on physical media (cassette) from Psytronik in the future.
Axelay released Star Sabre last year at Cronosoft. After that he worked on an enhanced version of the game which is running on machines with at least 128k memory and the result of his efforts is now available: Star Sabre 128k.

Axelay wrote a new shoot-em-up game called “Star Patrol” for the CPC. It seems to be similar to games like R-Type, etc.
Currently it is in the release pipeline of Cronosoft, so we have just to wait until it is available. You can see another screenshot on the “Coming soon” page of the Cronosoft website.
