"C64 Game Maker" is a tool that allows you to generate C++ source code for simple video games. Evolution and replacement of the previous tool "C64 Graphics Maker" (with which it's backwards compatible), this new tool allows you to use a simple BASIC language to make the code (whose guide can be found in the .zip file in English and Italian).

Una novela interactiva en tu CPC by Altanerus Dog

Altanerus Dog: "El amigo Jonatán Carrers (Jota in the jungle) hace un tiempo me pasó la novela "The Secret OF Darren Blake" escrita por él. Vi que era interesante y, es más, era posible portarla a un juego de Amstrad CPC. El problema era el cómo. Empecé a estudiar cómo se podía realizar de forma sencilla y que no se prologara, me propuse un tiempo máximo de 4 meses, pues bien, el resultado ha sido: una novela interactiva. Si os preguntáis cómo meter una novela en 64 kB, bueno, para eso hemos recurrido a la multi carga como antiguamente. ¿Qué hay que hacer en la novela? Básicamente, debes acertar frases relacionadas con el texto que se expone. Si la frase es correcta o similar, el texto continúa, siempre con imágenes representativas en Mode 1 (4 colores). ¿Qué objetivo tiene el juego? De hecho, el objetivo es leer. Puedes leer de muchas maneras en papel, en un terminal, en un libro electrónico; pero leer en tu Amstrad, a que suena bien. Y si le añadimos música e imágenes, pues ya se le puede considerar como una novela interactiva, algo retro, eso sí. ¿Es algo demasiado raro para la escena Amstrad? Sí, la verdad es que lo es. Simplemente, hay que darle una oportunidad. Elige un día tranquilo. Yo te aconsejo el domingo por la tarde, ponte a leer, verás que poco a poco te va enganchando. Y cómo suelo aconsejar, ya sé que soy algo fetichista en el tema Amstrad; si tienes la oportunidad de jugarlo en máquina real, ya es la monda."

A los amantes de la prensa escrita, estamos viviendo malos momentos. Se nos fueron las revistas en papel (salvo la fantástica RetroGamer), pero afortunadamente van surgiendo iniciativas en formato digital. Hemos asistido hace nada al lanzamiento de Hecho con Pixeles, con una excelente acogida.

Pues ahora, podemos sumar Break Space Issue, con un formato digital (para ordenador y móvil), totalmente gratuita y con análisis de videojuegos realizados por gente, entendida, de la escena.

Este primer número aborda 34 reviews para el ZX Spectrum y máquinas similares.

Felicitar a los chicos de BreakSpace por esta excelente iniciativa, eso sí, escrita en la lengua de Shakespeare.

SkillTeam is a puzzle game, now remade for Amstrad CPC (464/664/6128)

Get to the goal across 60 difficulty-increasing levels. In the way you will have to push crates, avoid crumbling floors and most important, use skills. There are 6 different skills, but I think it is best to let you discover what each one does.
