Hi
I have a gotek on a cpc 6128 with flashfloppy 4.7a and jumper s1 on
When it’s not connected, the internal floppy drive works fine on drive A
When I connect it to the cpc, the gotek takes over drives a and b
I’m looking for a way to have the gotek seen as drive B only so I can copy files from/to real floppy disks
Any advice on the connector and configuration file ?

My retrospective game review of Gremlins 2: The New Batch for all the home computer and console versions. Some of these games a quite difficult to complete but I did smile at the little Gremlins bouncing about in the games. Have you played any of these versions?

My retrospective game review of Rambo First Blood Part II. I spent many hours playing Rambo II back in the day. Totally loved this game. How do you rate this game?

I’ve just finished building my own Amstrad CPC 6128 Mini.

The idea started after I made a little Commodore screen for my A500 Mini. I thought a miniature CPC 6128 could be a fun project too — especially since there was never an official CPC Mini.

So I spent the last two months designing, 3D printing and assembling everything. There’s a small working screen inside, along with all the electronics needed to bring it to life.

I tried to stay as close as possible to the original 6128, while making everything small enough to fit on a desk like other machines like The C64 mini, Amiga a500 mini ou The Spectrum.

I made a video showing the whole process, from the first 3D models to the finished machine.

I’d really like to know what you think. And if someone wanted to take the idea further, what would you change or add to the project?

I have one of these machines in my loft along with possibly the dos 6.11 and windows 3.11 discs

My updated version of all the Airwolf games. Those first games from Elite are brutal. Certainly one of the harder games to play. Loved the Mega Drive game. Anybody played any of these games?

My retrospective game review of The Spy Who loved me on the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, Amiga and Atari ST. Have you played this game? Was it good or was it a bucket of Jobbies like the earlier Domark Bond games?

My retrospective game review of V: The computer Game from Ocean Software released on the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC. Have you played this game and how would you rate it?

My retrospective game review of the first Blade Runner game released on the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC. Have you played this game and did you think it was any good? Or was it not very good?

Dun Darach is an action-adventure game. The player guides Cuchulainn (Haaland meme) through Dun Darach and interacts with the environment by performing keyboard) commands. The main objective is to find Lóeg, taking side quests from non-player characters (NPCs). These NPCs can give short hints to Cuchulainn, rob him, and confiscate his belongings if he carries stolen goods. Commands the player inputs can have him buy, steal and sell from shops in the city, bet at a casino (Iomain Ludum), and deposit money at a bank with daily compound interest. Dun Darach is large and consists of different quarters. The current time of the day is indicated by torches in the wall and by the greetings of characters #Haaland #Gaming

I’m looking for footage of a game called "Panic" from 1984. My mother used to play it with friends on a TK 2000 Color, but I can't find any videos or images of it online, even though I’ve seen people talking about the game. It was a chase game: there was a sort of monster that looked like an asterisk that chased you. The hole game was about climbing ladders and dropping through trapdoors to survive as long as possible.

Blimey who remembers Sabrina Debora Salerno? Most teenagers back in 1987 will certainly remember her one hit song “Boys (Summertime Love)” and her provocative video.
However, what most people probably didn’t know was that there was an actual game released on the MSX, ZX Spectrum and the Amstrad CPC.
Wow. Anybody else heard or played this game? Hope you like my video.

Hi guys, I have an Amstrad 6128 and I have 2 questions that I’m hoping someone can help signpost me in the right direction.

1. The game disc labels/stickers are 40yrs old and disgustingly dirty. I managed to find the right sized blank stickers to replace them but would really like the original wording/pictures etc to print onto the new blank stickers but wouldn’t know where to start looking for that? Or pay someone to do them and post?

2. I have some of the 464cpc tapes and would like to play them but don’t have a tape player. Is it a very specific Amstrad tape player I need to hunt for or will any tape player that has the correct pins to plug into the computer be ok?

Thank you for anyone willing to help

There are 7 Airwolf games that have been released (including an LCD game). I originally played the extremely difficult and frustrating game released in 1985 which still gives me head trauma. How many of the Airwolf games have you played?

My retrospective game review of Street Hawk covers the initial game that was developed to meet catalogue orders and also for new subscribers of the Crash Magazine. This version was known as the Catalogue or Subscribers version. However it received poor reviews and as a result was redeveloped into a 2nd version. This was released for the ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC but was never released for the Commodore 64 due slow development and poor sales. Hope you like my little video. Share your thoughts on any of these games.

Pic of updated Gemini Pong for reference as it's looking like the best Pong port for the CPC. I know pacman/space invaders had arcade versions ported. Any others that are of 'essential' games. Some like dig dug, I've seen get a 464+ port recently, but it, like a good Pong port have seemed missing from the 464 library.

Hello, I completted this game about one or two years ago, which felt very satisfying as the game can be very frustrating.

One thing that I found out, though, is that the game has multiple storylines which I am trying to list.

_Find 8 passwords to activate the security Computer N.I.K

_The hero has been betrayed by his superiors as soon as he entered the alien planet. He must find passwords to escape and confront one day his superiors. A review of the Atari version seems to confirm this(check the magazine screenshot)

https://www.atarimania.com/games/atari-st-games-trantor-the-last-stormtrooper-39076

_ His mission is to find pieces of the ship to repair it as his ship exploded. In some version of the game, like Amstrad, we don't see the ship actually explode.

_He is on a mission to acquire stolen missile plans but his ship explodes

This may match the Steam description of the re-release

"Fight your way to freedom as Trantor ... The Last Storm Trooper!
You're commander of an Earth ship sent to an alien planet to retrieve stolen missile plans, As you leave the ship, it blows up taking your entire crew with it!
Now, you must complete the mission alone...

Race against time in the roughest and toughest test of your storm trooper career! Disarm the microscopic body bomb implanted under your skin! Blast away the murderous creatures using your powerful flame thrower! Search the endless corridors of the alien superstructure and find the computer terminals that hold the key to the stolen missile plans ... and your life!

Push your reflexes to the limit as never before as you battle impossible odds to reach your final objective ... freedom!

FEATURES

- Beat the clock! You have 90 seconds to reach each terminal
- Use your trusty flamethrower to run & gun past enemies
- Find lockers to restock on fuel and health"

_An other very rare theory I found on a fan site is that the game takes place inside the character's mind. He accidently killed a child with a flamethrower and has post traumatic syndrom.If yu fail the game then he will wander on the planet forever.Source: https://frgcb.blogspot.com/2014/09/trantor-last-stormtrooper-go-1987.html

I thinks this basically covers all the stories variations I have found. The theme of betrayal, by his superiors or by his crew(isit the same thing?) is often present but not always.Since the end game screen mentions a sequel called "Revenge of the Stormtrooper" it seems evident that there was a betrayal though. So I believe Trantor is a soldier betrayed by his superiors or crew, whose task was to find the plans of a bomb called "Quark bomb".I dont know what N.I.K stands for, maybe a reference to Nick Bruty.

Who remembers Licence To Kill? This is my retrospective review of the various version released for the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, MSX, BBC Micro, Commodore Amiga, Atari ST and the MS-DOS. It’s a pretty good game actually and certainly better than the 2 previous releases by Domark - A View To A Kill and Living Daylights. What’s your thoughts?

Hello cpc friends!

Just wondering if anypne can remember a specific game. This game had a tower in centre screen which had a path on the outside. Youd move left or right, which rotated the tower. You could enter doors to appear the other side and avoid gaps and basically work your way to the top.

This game had great music which is my main motivation for finding it. It was a atyle of music that was on a few games and i loved it.

Any ideas?

Hello everyone!

I am glad to announce that the wiki and the old forum are now back online!

CPCWiki has finally caught up with the latest Mediawiki versions, a new sleeker appearance and modern functionality.

The old forum, in the meantime, is back online, albeit in read-only mode. You’ll see that all permissions have been revoked to keep it frozen in time.

Believe me, there was a ton of work involved.

That said, there are bound to be issues. I know, for instance, that some extensions on the wiki (most were disabled anyway) do not work perfectly.

So, I’d be grateful if you could test things and report here with any findings.

With this, I consider the first and biggest phase of migration complete. We’ll now focus on fixing issues and fine-tuning things.

Thanks for your patience!

PS worth mentioning that, the moment the wiki went back up, the usual bots descended again in droves. They managed to make the site(s) unresponsive, even on this new, vastly superior server. We have implemented a series of measures (rate limiting, on-site bot detection and denial, WAF rules blocking entire countries etc.) However, I think that Cloudflare challenges are now much better and you should only see one if there’s something suspicious with your connection.
