An RSS feed would be nice but it's static pages...

You will discover directly on the website the new reviews. I will not add several reviews at the same time occasionally. I think it is more interesting to add regularly one or two reviews at a time.
   Thus, there will be regular novelty, you will not have to wait for months between big updates.

   I am currently working on the next addition.  ;)

@iXien: I don't know if the flag provides information about the language of the game or the origin of the game. In case the latter one is the case then you can change the flag to the one of the Switzerland. Because Flynn is from Swiss.  :)

Of course flags are for the language(s) of the game. For exemple, "Groops!" doesn't come from 4 countries  8) ! But it's true that some games are made by people from different countries. I think that it is not really interesting for users, I prefer indicate the languages  :)

Nice website so far...

In one case I wondered:

QuoteA website dedicated to a 25 years old computer but testing recent games? Games tested in sheets? A collection of covers to print? No tapes, disks only? Only 3" disks?

Isn't it the 30th birthday for the CPC this year?  :laugh:

 Hi,

The first update of the website is here with a new game! It took more time than I thought because of many adjustments.

You will find a new homepage that will now give life to the website. You will find a weekly suggestion of game to discover or rediscover in titles already reviewed. I will also add a new game sheet weekly . Rythm will be regular, thus means that I will not post more on the forum about this weekly rendezvous because I think it unnecessarily trolls the topic, unless it is to inform or discuss a particular event.

For this first update, although I prefer of course to highlight lesser known titles, I decided to choose a title that I think everyone knows and like  8)

Hello McKlain,

you know, I have many many games to review before adding sheets for 2013/2014 games and I reviewed Super Edge Grinder (2012) only because of Edge Grinder (2011)  ;)

As you are here,

do you know if it is possible to find the visual of "La Guerra de Gamber" in biggest size and without GG and ESP Soft logos to create a future cover for Homebrew.AT:)

And are you planning to translate this game in English ("Gamber's War" should be very nice  8) ) ?

McKlain

As for the first question, I'll ask the creator for a cover without logos, as for the second one, there are no plans to do a translation. Spanish language shouldn't be a problem either for this game, as it's just a platformer/shooter.

iXien

Many thanks for your answers. I'll wait for news from you. Don't hesitate in contacting me on PM about the cover  ;)

I would like to said the opposite too.
As I understand that an adventure game was in spanish, because there is many text and that can be difficult to be translated... It's easy to use the english for some words that can be understood by everyone on an arcade game.  :-*

I see... I haven't noticed that you can download the games straight from the website. But many of those games have a dedicated page with downloads for the disk image, tape, instructions, covers... there should be a link to those pages in every game review.

TotO

You can already buy homebrew games in Tape format or download them from cpc-power.
As I understand, he made custom floppy collections because most of them was only released in tape format.

No for all of the homebrew games


You can find the CDT version of Dead on Time on the downloads page at Psytronik.  I'm afraid there's no CDT of the 128K version of Star Sabre or Edge Grinder though.  I couldnt possibly wait that long to load a game off tape!  :laugh:

I really like the layout and look of that site.  It somehow manages to look classic retro and modern at same time. 

One thing bugged me a bit in the review of Bubble Bobble 4 CPC. 
"The only regret is the flashing characters, a problem due to the routine used that save RAM to let the game work on 64Kb CPC's, a limitation that I don't understand nowadays. ".  And I'm very grateful cngsoft did as I've been enjoying that game greatly on my real 464 in the past week since I learnt how to get CDT files running on real hardware.  :)

But anyways, nice site. :)

Favorite CPC games: Count Duckula 3, Oh Mummy Returns, RoboCop Resurrection, Tankbusters Afterlife

Why? It's true. You prefer to not read the reality?
You may quote too: "Apart from that, BB4CPC is a gem on which you will return regularly!" :)
