Analysation of the ACID protection

Zarkon started a thread in the spanish CPC board at mforos.com about the [[Amstrad Cartridge Identification Device|ACID]] protection of the CPC+ cartridges. This small protection chip is the last part of the CPC which isn’t well known and without this chip it isn’t possible to develop any new cartridges for the CPC 464+, CPC 6128+ or the GX4000.
So if you are able to help with analysation – maybe because you know directly the details of this chip or you have knowledge about electronics – then please have a look at the thread in the spanish CPC board. Most of the entries in this thread are spanish, but you can translate it with Google which makes the thread at least understandable.

Platformer Medley Block #1

And another news game for the CPC brought to you by the Mojon Twins from spain. It has the strange name “Platformer Medley” which was originally just a development name, but the new name “A trip to the trippy supermarket, starring Mary Stormbringer” was too long and the development name already used ingame… Anyway… Platformer Medley is a jump and run game in the style of Jet Set Willy.
Btw, the Mojon Twins have already prepared a sequel which will only be released if you play through the whole game. If you finish it, you will get a keycode which you can send to the Mojon Twins and after that they will release the sequel. Nice motivation, isn’t it :-)?
You can download the game from the Mojon Twins homepage.

ESP Soft released a new game for the CPC called iLogicAll. It is a logical game where you have to help MariBee to become queen. Unfortunately I am unable to understand spanish so I am not sure how to play it, but I read that it has a similar gameplay to “Picross”.
Don’t to download and play it. You can download it from the Amstrad.es homepage.
