Some days ago I load wonder boy and I did that like the old days.
It was awesome to see him fly.

Also Ghosts N Goblins had a few glitches where some enemies would just disappear the the following screen loaded.
This used to be a hand way to get past the red devil halfway through stage one. It didn't always work though but when it did. It meant you were on easy street.
Currently playing on: 2xCPC464, 1xCPC6128, 1x464Plus, 1x6128Plus, 2xGX4000. M4 board, ZMem 1MB and still forever playing Bruce Lee.
No cheats, snapshots or emulation. I play my games as they're intended to be played. What about you?

Wonder Boy had occasional glitches where if they landed at the very edge of a platform after a jump, they would get stuck as if your character was embedded into the platform, especially on the ice levels.

No amount of jumping could get you out unless you waited for your energy to run out.

Same bug in Wizball where you can get stuck in platforms or wall... When you add the stack overflow corruption, finishing this game the regular way was very hard...

Treasure Island Dizzy - you might have the bugged version.

Vigilante - I think I had that version too..

If i remember correctly, in emilio butragueño II, sometimes when the ball is out and you go to the band  to throw, the stupid player go around the ball asi if he is playig the chours of the potato, and you loss the game miserably because you can't take the ball.

In carlos sainz rally chapionship, if you have and accident with the car, you land next to the public.And  stand at 0km/h you think "buff i fought".

But not, you forgot the  blonde ponytail. He rushes to greet you,jumps over your car, and then"you are descualified for reckleless driving.


In space crusade if you shotting to an alien with the repetition arm, and in the second shoot you shoot to you or your partners. The player transform intermineitor in these turn.You can shoot indefinitely and destroy all aliens you view in one turn included the boss.

In test driver ii if you go at begining in the stage to 92kmh until the first curve you active the autocruise kitt mode. And the car drive only folowing the white line of the road.

Most of the guns seem to be useless in that game, particularly against the Dreadnought, I just pray I get the Master Controls so I can Slam some Doors shut on it!  :D
* Using the old Amstrad Languages :D   * with the Firmware :P
* I also like to problem solve code in BASIC :)   * And type-in Type-Ins! :D
