Defender (Amstrad CPC)

 by Cyborg Unicorn

DEFENDER - AMSTRAD CPC EDITION

The classic DEFENDER on the Amstrad CPC!

Defender, on an Amstrad CPC. It’s the same game as the ZX Spectrum Next edition: its world, landers, mutants, humans, baiter, scanner, sounds and play, rebuilt to run on a CPC in mode 0.

It runs on any 64K Amstrad CPC.

THE SAME GAME

• The landscape, the stars scrolling slower than the ground, and the scanner with its dots and view marks
• Landers take the humans up. At the top, a human is lost and its lander turns mutant
• Shoot a lander carrying a human and it falls. Catch it and set it down safely
• Mutants, the baiter, smart bombs and hyperspace
• An extra ship and smart bomb every 10,000 points
• The planet comes back every fifth wave
• The sounds, played on the CPC’s AY sound chip

BUILT FOR THE CPC

• Mode 0 screen, 160 x 200 in 16 colours
• The Next’s own sprite art, converted for mode 0 and compiled into fast Z80 drawing code
• Enemies, humans, lasers, shots and explosions all run in Z80, so it keeps up with the action
• It plays at the pace of the Next original, give or take
• It takes over the machine completely, with no return to BASIC

Pool of Radiance for the Atari ST

 by cb-fgc

Here it is at last, the legendary RPG game that SSI announced was coming to the ST back in the days, then vanished... Since its followup Curse of the Azure Bonds was released on the ST, and all those Goldbox games are modular and use the same engine with a few variations, it was quite logical to modify it in order to be able to play other Goldbox games...

Build Dangerous CPC

 by revive8bit

 Build Dangerous is a game for Amstrad CPC

This is a classic arcade game 

Thanos is a building inspector. He is also immortal, which is the only reason he still has the job.

Every building in town is about to open, and every owner has the same plan: cut the ribbon, let the crowd in, and hope nobody finds the live wires, the hungry guard ferret and the "NOT A COMPACTOR" room before the insurance runs out. Thanos's job is to find every trap first. Since nothing can kill him, the quickest way to make a trap safe is to walk up to it and set it off. Then he signs the room off and moves on, while the crowd outside gets more impatient by the second.

He is immortal. Unimpressed. On duty.

Retro Gaming Library -PC, MAC & Linux-

 A visual catalogue for the games you own: boxed, loose or digital by virtualjames

A visual catalogue for the games you own: boxed, loose or digital

I’ve been keeping track of my retro collection in a spreadsheet for years. It worked, but it was just rows of text. I wanted something more visual, with box art and descriptions, that also backed itself up to the cloud. So I made Retro Game Library.

Add a game, pick the system, and the box art, description, year and publisher fill themselves in. Your shelf ends up looking like a proper library instead of a spreadsheet.

What it does

• Box art and descriptions are filled in automatically from the free LaunchBox Games Database. You don’t need LaunchBox installed.
• It covers everything from the Atari 2600 and ZX Spectrum up to PS5 and Switch 2.  Everything will become retro at some point so I've included everything I could think of.
• Physical and digital: record carts, tapes and discs as loose, boxed, complete in box or sealed. Record digital copies with the store you bought them from: GOG, Steam, Epic, PlayStation Store, eShop, Xbox, itch.io and more. You can filter to physical or digital only.
• If you own a game on several machines, you add it once, tick the extra systems, and each one gets the right box art.
• You can record multiple copies, and a filter shows duplicates, games on several systems, or games missing box art.
• You can record condition, date acquired and your own notes.
• Covers are saved to your computer as small pictures, so the app works offline.
• Cloud backup: keep your library folder in Google Drive, OneDrive, iCloud or Dropbox and every change is backed up automatically. It also keeps a dated backup copy for each day you make changes.
• Export: a PDF catalogue with box art (handy on your phone when you’re out hunting at car boot sales), an Excel workbook, or a CSV.
• It’s tiny (about 1–2 MB) and portable, with nothing to install. It runs from a USB stick.
• There are no accounts, no tracking and no ads.

Important: Retro Game Library is only for cataloguing your collection. It isn’t a game launcher and is in no way a replacement for the brilliant LaunchBox. If you play games on PC, go and check it out at launchbox-app.com. Game information and box art come from the LaunchBox Games Database, built by the LaunchBox community. This app isn’t made by, or affiliated with, LaunchBox.

Defender - ZX Spectrum Next Edition

  by Cyborg Unicorn Pty Ltd

A classic arcade-style Defender experience rebuilt for the ZX Spectrum Next in NTC BASIC.

Fly across a scrolling alien landscape, destroy the invading forces, rescue humans from the landers and survive wave after wave of increasingly dangerous attacks.

This edition keeps the original game's world, enemies, humans, scanner and controls, while adding enhanced graphics, sound and gameplay.

THE DEFENDER

You're flying low over a vast alien landscape.

Above you, the scanner tracks the action. Below, hills and mountains stretch across the planet as enemies sweep in from every direction.

You'll face:

• Landers
• Mutants
• Baiters
• Enemy fire
• And the ever-present danger of losing the humans you're trying to protect

Shoot the landers before they carry humans away. Catch falling humans and return them safely to the ground for bonus points.

Let them fall from too high, though, and they're gone.

ENHANCED GRAPHICS

The ZX Spectrum Next version expands the original presentation with:

• Animated ship engine flame
• Animated landers and mutants
• Walking humans
• Enemy shots
• Multi-frame explosions
• Animated baiter
• A proper 1024-pixel landscape
• Scrolling stars behind the terrain
• Multi-speed scrolling for scanner, sky and ground
• A scanner that shows your position
• Smooth ship movement when turning
• Explosions for enemies and your ship
• Wave announcements and completion screens

The result is a much more alive battlefield while keeping the feel of the original game.

The key/meander borders stay crisp.
* Bruce Lee has natural skin tones and golden trousers.
* Fades between rooms still work: the painted colors fade with the game's palette.

Tutankham (Amiga)

 by LC-Games

Technical Specifications

• Compatibility: 100% compatible with all PAL OCS, ECS, and AGA Amiga systems, as well as NTSC ECS and AGA systems.
• RAM: Requires only 512 KB Chip RAM.
• OS: Fully "Workbench-friendly".
• Format: Digital download (.ADF and executable file included).

Overview

In this game, the player controls an explorer who is robbing Tutankhamun's tomb. The player will search for precious treasures (maps, lamps, chests of gold & jewels, and, above all, the golden mask of King Tut) and fight off the various creatures that guard the tomb to ultimately find the way through the catacombs.

Gameplay

The player must guide the explorer through a series of progressively more difficult mazes across different stages. The explorer may move in four directions, but can only fire in two directions, left and right, making the player helpless in vertical shafts. There are also "warp zones" located in random parts of each maze that allow the explorer to be teleported from one area of the catacomb to another.

There are several different creatures that constantly materialize from "spawning zones" within the maze and attack, including crows, snakes, bats, dragons, and other magical beings. Those creatures can be destroyed to score between 20 and 60 points with either bullets or a "flash bomb". The explorer has a single "flash bomb" per life that destroys all the enemies on the screen.

On each stage, the explorer must pick up keys in order to unlock the door to the room where each of the treasures are kept, allowing the passage to the next stage. Along the way, the explorer may grab optional treasures (rings and coffers) for bonus points.

If the timer reaches zero, the player's ability to fire is removed.

Bonus points are awarded based on the amount of extra time left over when a stage is completed.

After the player has recovered the King Tut's treasures in all the stages, the game starts over again with increased difficulty and more keys to pick up.

At 30000 points, the player earns an extra life.
