It's time to turn our attention towards the Amstrad GX4000 for our homebrew goodness, as looking through the cpcwiki forums we have just found out that the classic game of 'Blinky's Scary School'; a game which was released for the Amiga, Atari 8-bit, Atari ST, Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum, is now being developed for the GX4000 by Amstariga. To coincide with this news story, not only do we know that it is being developed using the C64 palette, but it also features smooth animation and hard sprites!
Blinky's Scary School is an Arcade Platformer that was originally released by Zeppelin Games way back in 1990. In this game you play as Blinky, a small Ghost who is the star pupil of the Scary School. It's your job to rid the castle of all the ghost proof defences that have been set up by the ghost buster Red Lair McTavish. To remove the defences you must explore the castle, pick up various objects and drop them into the cauldron to cast magic spells! The upcoming game will feature multiple enemy types, lots of different screens, menacing traps, and smooth animation.
