Good choices, Ixien. Thank a lot. I love those games. ;)
Maybe, one day, a chance to see XOR game for GX4000? :)
Hey @JayBlood , better late than never. Thanks to @Urusergi now you can play Xor on you GX-4000  :D

Another idea? I really love the Archon series, underrated board games on CPC that won many awards on Apple II and Atari 8 bits computers.

Attached good versions that just need some keys patched and maybe some modifications on information screen  :D

PUB TRIVIA


to Select Player Picture, use Joypad 2,


1=1, 2=2, Up=3, Left=4, Right=5


If you just want a one player game, you can use Joypad 1 Button two to select picture one.


On the Highscore table you can use the following,


Joypad 2,

1=1, 2=2, Up=3, Left=4, Right=5, Down=Delete

Joypad 1,

Button 1=Enter, Button 2=1

Therefore with the console Pause Button, you can enter your name as P1, P2, P3, P4, P5

So please someone tell me if it's o.k. Or if there is some that don't work.

This make me think that it would be great to patch colour palette of the GX-4000 version of Switchblade. There is a patched version of the CPC 464 version, offering nice white and grey rather than the bad turquoise original colours but it is a dule version as with only 64Kb, the game lack of musics and introduction is strangely organized to be able to be loaded from tape. And of course, no rasters, no additionnal sprites to add more colours on screen.

Well, is someone able to correct the bad two colours of the official GX-4000 version to use white and grey like in the unofficial version converted by Phantomz? 8)
@ixien , yep could be possible : look this prototype on GX4000 original cartridge edition
colors are modified , as Prototype . look the screenshot (Colors prototyped)
Could you or someone send me some pictures or the Phantomz version in question  to include the same and right colors requested to the original cartridge one?

Wonderful, attached are pictures that show original GX-4000 and mockups of the result awaited. Clearly, only 2 colours need to be modified to change the general aspect from cyan to white/grey aspect. But please, don't touch to the wonderful original GX-4000 red raster and ground colours in the outside screens like on your prototype (this is Switchblade on a dark planet, not Trojan in his magical crypt or something 8) ).


Remember, only two colours to patch an already great game to make it perfect. Not more needed  :D

@ixien , thanks. Ok i will do with this kind of colors and make a BETA CPR for test.


My picture was only a prototype , and change colors just as demonstration as colors gradiant changes and all colors handles.


So I will do as Phantomz colors and tune it maybe slightly to make a little Plus touch.
I will relesease here for acceptance or remarks.

I already patch the game in 2017
That is the CPC version and not the GX4000 cart (Which used Hardware sprites for static objects to insert more colours) or have I missed something?

Yeah, it's perfect, you rock GOB! Many thanks. Would it be possible that someone create a poked version that includes unlimited lives? Just for comfort  :P

Nop, it's the right version with additional sprites and rolling presentation  8)

IMO, only unlimited lives are useful as you immediatly respawn when you die, making invulnerability more or less useless. And unlimited weapon is not a nice feature as sometimes you pick up by mistake a weapon bonus you didn't want so you are happy to be able to use its energy immediatly until it disappear to get rid of it  ;) .


One more thing would be to patch again Amstrad screen to have a border of the same white colour as background.
