Classic Replay

From Continental Circus: Chase HQ to Fire Tyre, here are some suggestions to keep Amstrad CPC racing fans occupied until Verspertino’s release! In 2019, Batman Group teased us with a sneak peek of their upcoming racing game — Vespertino. It shook the Amstrad community to its very core. Better still it will be released in two versions, a 128K disk version or a cartridge version that will cram everything it can into an 8bit. Vespertino is currently in transit, with the hope that we will see a 2021 release and will offer full compatibility across all CPC range of computers.  This year as part of the CPC 64k Retro Dev 2020 competition, CNGSoft released a game called Fire Tyre for the Amstrad CPC.

It was a bit of a balancing act, but very rarely did I come across a complete dud, if anything, the major problem I had is th...

One for the road... Computer games come and go, but not many leave an itch in this brave new world of PS4/PS5 and Nintendo Switch gaming. It just so happens that I quite like Buggy Boy on the Commodore 64 as well. It might be 33 years old, but if you're up for a challenge, this 1987 racer will deliver in everything but the pain.

Amstrad CPC Arcade Ports - Pass or Fail: The Amstrad CPC range of home computers played host to hundreds of arcade conversions during its lifespan.
