It looks really amazing, I have been itching for something like this in the CPC.

Interesting read, seems like a very modest guy. A few interesting tidbits about the development of the GX and it's games too.

Alright, so a brief video of a WIP. Note that this is obviously way too slow and sluggish. I'm still writing my code as if I've got unlimited fps and a graphics card to play with! But now I have a vague idea of what is going on, its time to properly optimise stuff and get rid of stuff that doesn't translate well on a Z80 (for example, needless integer division and unnecessary redrawing of areas on the screen that haven't changed!), and to make the frame rate like the proverbial poo off a shovel.

Cool, it is using the same sound fx PSG rulez.
Though Fruity Frank still appears to be the #1 for me.

Whaaaat? What's this?!

nothing spectacular. It's a FM module that is controlled by the CPC. I would expect a simple address decoding logic activates the FM IC which gets the data from the data bus. The IC does all the radio logic including sound output.

In short: your CPC controls a radio IC but you won't listen to a radio with your CPC.

No, I wouldn't do that either.

I discovered lately that he had made another great game called Buster Block, which is a kind of Pengo-like, spread on 400 rooms.
Although the CPC version looks a bit ugly with garish colors, the MSX version looks stunning :

All the functions of the radio are also included in the RSF3 (analog & digital) which works easy and great.
