Hello! You need the existing Plus2CPC adapter https://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/amstrad-cpc-hardware/plus2cpc-plus-cartridge-slot-for-the-cpc/, or the upcoming Play2CPC adapter with new features https://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/amstrad-cpc-hardware/play2cpc-plus2cpc-ii-extra-sound-channels-and-rewritable-cartridges/
Pre-order placed :-) is it also possible to order a Plus2CPC adapter with the game ?

You can order a Plus2CPC to me, but not bundled with the game in this pre-order. Because the logistics are different for both things (they are shipped from different countries). Later we'll consider to make bundles with the new Play2CPC, but not in this batch.
AAAAAAnd just sent the email to preorder :-)
Dear friends, the pre-order is CLOSED!
Well done, looking forward!

We keep moving forward! The cartridge PCBs are manufactured, written and tested!

Hello! Not currently, but we can make a waiting list and see what we can offer to the latecomers. :)
Any ETA? 🙂

I'm currently writing a little update that I will add on the first post. ;)
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
One month ago, the pre-order was closed.
Some news into the first post update! ;)
Sorry for the delay, we are still waiting the cartridges shells. We have expected to ship the game for Easter, now it will be probably next month.
The cartrige shells was received today! :)

hopefully the colour of the 3d printed cart with stay somewhat constant over time, my C4CPC case is very yellow only after a couple of years.
It shouldn't. At worst, it will looks like your Amstrad Plus! ;)

Well, I would always take the BLUE one. ;) :) :)
That cart looks great can't wait to receive it.

I have one on order, I don't suppose there's any chance of also getting a PlayCity expansion bundled with it? I'm guessing there aren't any on hand and that's fine, but if there were, would be great to buy one and save on postage :)
The first post is frequently updated. Stay tuned! :)
I don't remember the address to post it! ;D

I'm late to the party. Will any more of these be available to purchase?
Thank you for your interrest. You are now on the waiting list.
Hey! Shipping have started since Monday!!! :-*
Hi
@TotO ! I want,to be in the waiting list too :) if its posible
Thanks!!
Hello
@TotO , have you started to ship the Alcon with Play2CPC Bundle? for those who order both. Thanks

Yes, but for international orders first, to allow everybody to receive it more or less at the same time.
Now ... I'm getting nervous!!!

Actually up to this day everything shipping between France and Germany worked out just fine (both directions).
During the last years I had problems with a packet from DE to USA and lot's of trouble with everything-royal-mail.
Few peoples have already received the game! :o
Looking forward to this arriving in England. Then taking another week to make it to Scotland!
I am now thinking I should have ordered a Play2CPC though...
Quote from: CMcK on 23:01, 23 May 22I am now thinking I should have ordered a Play2CPC though...
Your game was sent, so we can't manage to add a Play2CPC now. But it will be available alone soon!

Box arrived - THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
I received the Alcon 2020 cartridge for Amstrad CPC today and it looks really great. Congratulations on the excellent packaging! I only have one question and that is about the functioning of the cartridge on the computers of the classic Amstrad line (CPC464 and CPC6128). Where can I buy the compatible adapter? ::)
P.S. - At this point I also ask if there is a way to buy a PlayCity board, is there someone who produces it?

It's true!!!
I had completely forgotten about this peripheral, on the thread I had even listed myself. :doh:
Thanks for the info, I sent a private message to Abalore here on the wiki! ;)
Received my copy of Alcon 2020 yesterday. It's a stunning port for the system. Very impressive. If CPC games had been like that in the 80s no other micro would have got a second glance!
The Alcon package is cracking too. I like the box and art and the padding in the box to hold the cart is a very nice touch. The cart feels really sturdy compared to the homebrew carts I have on other systems. I wasn't expecting that to be honest.
All I need now is a Play2CPC cart and a controller with 2 button support. I can only use button one with my Master System controller so have to sit quite close to hit the shift key to select weapon upgrades. Can anyone recommend a good pad or stick that will give me two button support on the 6128+?
Once again well done to the Alcon 2020 team. You all should be very proud of what you have achieved with this.
Oh yes I noticed that too about the cart, it really is well made!
@CMcK Thank you very much for this kind feedback! Yes, the card older was designed to properly insert and remove the cart, while the instruction manuals has its own room over. :)
About your SMS controller, you can build a DB9/DB9 adapter to cross two lines to use the fire buttons. Else, a GX4000 controller.
I can only recommand to use this joystick to play Alcon 2020:
https://www.micomputer.es/es/inicio/460-joystick-arcader.html
I have bought two of them to have the free shipping from Spain. But sadly, it looks to be now out of stock.
Hmmm this stick reminds me of something... ::)
I could never really handle such long sticks very well (please spare the jokes), but I guess each to their own!
I is very better than the original, because a real arcade stick and buttons inside. It is customisable, so you can configure it to have the two buttons on one side if you prefer by turing if from 90°.
That's nice then. Never gonna switch from my trusted old Pacman sticks, but how much did it cost?
For me this is the best!
For Alcon, the only thing that works for me is an arcade stick. With any gamepad / joystick I don't even survive a minute.
I found this NES arcade controller, which of course is not compatible, but since it's just microswitches inside, I simply used a SEGA joystick extension cable, cut off the male connector and soldered the cables to the respective microswitches. 30 minutes effort and just great for 20-25€. (Arcade stick is 15€ on Amazon, an extension cable around 5€ from China)
35% of the games was received before the weekend.
I hope you have fun with it! :)
75% of the first batch was received! :)
Yet to play it, dammit😐
Yet to receive mine! 😞 Hopefully soon!
Hi toto one question there is pictures out of the pcb of alcon/play2cpc? I like view the pcbs.
There is an artistic picture of the cartridge PCB view on the first page. And sorry, I have not took a picture of the Play2CPC PCB. May be something to do for a wallpaper. :D

80% received. Most parcels took time to be delivred in Spain.
I got my Alcon 2020 and PlayCity yesterday and can report they both work great and are great :) Looking forward to putting more time into it and playing with the PlayCity too! Thanks everyone involved in this fantastic, high-quality release!
Not easy to play while reading the chat! ;D
Received mine today - exceptional is all I can say! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
The delivering to Spain was very slow, but now mainly done. ;D

yeeeha !!!
now it's time to think about the next cartridge game, maybe ... " Alcon 2024 - Gaudy's Revenge " ...
or some game like MSX alien 2, with graphics in mode 0 and horizontal scroll, arcade :laugh:
We have already thought about the next games and I imagine that between Alcon 2020 and the Play2CPC, we will first listen to players feedbacks. :)

For information, the AU-202 is a 15$ amplified stereo mixer that allows to externaly mix and adjust the level of two stereo sources and output into one pair of stereo speakers.
Well, I got this one:

It has 4 way input (3,5 mm) and one output.
Every input can be regulated.
I did connect:
- CPC6128 / 6128plus sound output
- PlayCity
- LambdaSpeak PCM / speech channel
- MP3 player (part of LFS)
Fits and works perfectly.
(Needs power, 5 V from CPC compatible plug)
I agree. The AU-401 audio mixer GUNHED mentioned is a great and relatively cheap device for connecting 4 other sound devices. Works great.
Oh my god... i looked for aged for such a solution... Then one day (3 years ago) i bit the bullet and bought a ROLLS MA255 wich does the nearly the same thing but for 6 time the price :picard:
(with better specs, but i didn't need the extra quality)...
@GUNHED Yes, the AU-401 is the next step if required to mix more than 2 sources.

Hey, I'm too old for hype! (or I thought I was. :D )
What an amazing game! I didn't manage to get to level 2 yet and we definitely have different definitions what "easy" means ;-)
But wow! Awesome. Great fun!
One thing: the PCB in the cartridge is quite wobbly and e.g. on my Plus I have to bend the whole cartridge slightly so it properly connects. is it possible to open the cartridge without breaking it to check if I can fix the PCB again?

Would be nice to get ETA's at least. Nothing definite but even an idea of times would be something to look forward to. :)
In the meantime, Craig... fire up the GX4000. I have my previous score to beat. :D

I suggest to post on the Play2CPC topic (https://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/amstrad-cpc-hardware/play2cpc-plus2cpc-ii-extra-sound-channels-and-rewritable-cartridges/msg217837/#msg217837).
Hi Everyone, just a quick question as I don't have a CPC-compatible CRT. I'm using an LCD that has scart input - I found that usually when staring to play Alcon (gameplay), it isn't scrolling silky smooth - but then if i die a few times it will be 100% perfect (it can alternate between dies and games). I've thought it is either a game bug, or an incompatibility with my LCD TV. Can anyone confirm this?
Slap Fight has always been one of my favourite arcade games and the CPC version is probably one of if not the best arcade conversion I can think of - at least for scrolling shoot em ups. Moon Cresta is up there too for scrolling stars shoot em ups.
From memory in Alcon, if you choose to sacrifice your life without shooting anyone, you get automatically powered up, that appears missing - but not really a critisism - amazingly good game on the CPC!
My Alcon cartridge has a bit of a loose connection. I have to slightly bend it both in the Plus as in the Play2CPC to start the game - and sometimes it crashes during gameplay. The PCB seems to not be fixed in its position. Any idea what I can do to fix that?

Desolder the edge connector and put a Centronics connector on it. But _BEWARE_ not to mix the contacts. Centronics and edge are exchange. (Oben und Unten ist vertausch, also bitte immer kontrollieren. Hab da schon mal was falsch rum angelötet in der Eile).

It's not the computer, it's the cartridge that has a loose PCB and doesn't make a reliable connection with the cartridge slot.
I have a problems in the Plus, the GX4000 and in the Play2CPC.

May be the cartridge contacts are not right? Take a look under it if something has moved, please.
Ah, crap, the Cartridge itself. Hope you get it right.

I have to slightly bend it both in the Plus as in the Play2CPC to start the game - and sometimes it crashes during gameplay. The PCB seems to not be fixed in its position. Any idea what I can do to fix that?
May be the cartridge contacts are not right? Take a look under it if something has moved, please.
The PCB is loose. When I shake the cartridge, it rattles. I have also opened it to see if I can fix it, but there is just too much space, so it can't be fixated. I will try if I can fixate it with some tape, so that the cartridge shell applies some pressure to the PCB and keeps it in its position.
