Fresh stuff, directly from the RetroMadrid 2012: Sardina forever – a new arcade game for the Amstrad CPC, written by Javier Garcia and Felix Aranda. You are playing Sardina on her way to the TV studio and of course you have fans and anti-fans, who won’t make it easy to reach it. To control Sardina, you use Q, A, O, P or the cursor keys on your keyboard. To hit people, press 1, 2 and 3.
You can download the game from ESP Soft.
Released on the 1st April, I thought that this is just an april fool, but it is real: SyX and TotO wrote an emulator, which is able to use the original Pacman arcade ROMs to emulate the game on the Amstrad CPC. The emulator itself is based on an Pacman emulator for the Sam Coupe and the ZX Spectrum by Simon Owen. If you want to use it, you have to put the original arcade ROMs of the arcade machine with an AMSDOS header into the disc image (e.g. with tools like ManageDSK). For more information please refer to the included “README.TXT” file. You can download the emulator from the CPCWiki forums.
