I... still don't see it

His ear is that pink thing in the middle.

Gryzor · « **Reply #26 on:** 13:41, 24 June 20 »

Yeah, the ear, I got; the rest says nothing to me

Carnivius · « **Reply #27 on:** 13:46, 24 June 20 »

Well all the yellow is his hair. The bit on the left is the hair draping down over the sideburn area.

Gryzor · « **Reply #28 on:** 14:53, 24 June 20 »

Haha thanks. The tip of his weapon threw me off since the background has a changed colour...

More suitable format.

This looks impressively good...

Wow that looks like the arcade, always have fond memories of playing that in the arcade as a boy.

DanyPPC · « **Reply #36 on:** 11:18, 19 December 20 »

WoW !!! Excellence !

I wonder why in the 80s they didn't dedicate this care to highly possible conversions.

The deadlines were running, sometimes only a few weeks.

This looks absolutely wonderful!
I'm one of those strange people that actually enjoyed the original CPC version, despite its obvious shortcomings.
But this new version looks like it will be MUCH better in absolutely every way, and I can't wait to try it!
(Actually it looks better than most CPC scrolling platformers!)

reidrac · « **Reply #39 on:** 14:27, 19 December 20 »

Not my favourite, but I played it a lot at school (because the computing lab, all CPC 6128; didn't have a lot of games to choose from).

This version looks very nice!

VincentGR · « **Reply #40 on:** 21:24, 19 December 20 »

I love the original version even if it is slower than the C64.
This looks really amazing!

Basically the CPC version only took the C64 graphics and took the code and sound from the Spectrum, explaining the flicker and the slow speed. The Speccy version plays identical!

I usually wait until the game is finished before I get stuck in, but for this I'll probably make an exception as I'm a huge fan of this (and it's sequel)

Not happening! I still have fond memories of that loading screen when I was 11 years old and loading it from tape.

Fair enough !!

It's Christmas dear fellow Amstrad users !

Please enjoy this (short) first level of WonderBoy Remake. You'll need a CPC with 128k.
All info in the readme.

Don't hesitate to comment, to give your feedback. Even insults are welcome !

Wonderful Xmas to all of you !

Gryzor · « **Reply #46 on:** 12:45, 24 December 20 »

That's so nice!!! Haven't heard that tune for many years, brought back lots of memories! It looks really great, but is it harder than I remember it to be? Or just getting old?

In any case, Merry Xmas - and thanks for this

Early Troubleshooting :

- the GX4000 pad seems to be only working on port #2 on a PLUS or GX4000
- on OLD CPC the pad GX4000 won't work sadly, you'll have to use keyboard
- it's also reported that TAB + A is replaced by F + G on an OLD keyboard

Sorry for all this, that's why we do BETA versions ...

No problems with my cpc 6128 old qwerty. Very strange

For the joypad it's port 1 and not 2

ervin · « **Reply #49 on:** 14:46, 24 December 20 »

This is absolutely fantastic!
Head and shoulders above the old version.
I must also mention the graphics - they are beautiful.
