Hi

As You know some games needs direct access to floppy and must be played from real floppy (or good emulator). But some extended disk images cannot be written with "standard" programs (eg. M4FE or RulezCharge).
Is there any good program to write back at least most images back to floppy?

There are some images that simply can't be written by a standard CPC drive regardless of the program you use.

There's often cracked versions on CpcPower that are more likely to be successfully written.

I'm talking about cases like Space Gun, where crack is also extended DSK 220kB.

Space Gun has an 8k sector on the second track; this is the exact thing that an unmodified CPC drive can't write. 

I don't actually see a cracked version of this one in a cursory web search.
