The Batman Group, well known for their great Batman Forever demo for the Amstrad CPC, is currently working on a port of the Digital Illusions (today DICE, known for the Battlefield series) game Pinball Dreams. Pinball Dreams is a pinball simulator, which was released for the Commodore Amiga, Commodore C64, Nintendo Game Boy, DOS and much more systems – excluding the Amstrad CPC. Some days ago, they released a playable preview version of the game and while it is not complete yet and you can only play one table but it shows its potential with awesome scrolling, perfect usage of the Amstrad CPCs colour palette and great graphics. Be sure to download the preview and play it on a real Amstrad CPC with monitor, if possible!!! The game needs 128kb RAM, so be sure to run it with a RAM expansion on a 464 or 664.
You can download the preview from Pouet (don’t forget to vote) and at the end of this news.

Reidrac released a new game called Magica for the Amstrad CPC. In the game you play a sorceress who needs to recollect all the magic potions, which were stolen from her laboratory. During a level you have 50 seconds to beat all enemies and collect the potions.

Magica Ingame

The game features nice graphics, music and 5o levels to compete with the enemies. It runs on an Amstrad CPC 464, so only 64k RAM is needed and was written by using Artaburus CPCRSlib and the PSG player by WYZ. You can download the game from the Magica homepage or at the end of this news.

Doomsday Lost Echoes – graphical text adventure

With “Doomsday Lost Echoes” a new graphical text adventure was just released for the Amstrad CPC. In the game you play Mike, a guy who wants to leave the planet by becoming a crew member of a space ship called Doomsday. After traveling to “The Pit” after an civil unrest on the planet, he received an email from a lost worker from an abandoned space station. And that’s where you go next…

Doomsday - Lost Echoes

The game was developed using the Professional Adventure Writing System (PAWS) and features very nice graphics (obvious, isn’t it – it is a text adventure ;-)) and – like all newer games – a very nice manual. You can play the game on a real Amstrad CPC, Amstrad Plus or in an emulator. However, it requires 128kb of RAM and a floppy drive, which is able to read 720kb disks (it will work with a HxC floppy emulator).

Doomsday - Lost Echoes

You can download the game from the official homepage or at the end of this news.
