Top 11 Games for the Amstrad CPC in 2017

2017 was yet again another fine year for homebrew and indie releases for the humble CPC, again boosted by CPCretroDev's yearly competition, but many more games made their way onto the Amstrad from some very talented programmers. Shining, Keith Sear, Naverro, McKlain, 4mhz and more were very busy indeed. The quality of the games has rose to amazing standards, so choosing a Top 11 was tricky to say the least.

Baba's Palace - An Amstrad game is in the works and it looks great!

This isn't some sort of weird dream as we've recently found out the Amstrad is getting a new platformer called ' Baba's Palace ', developed by Rafael Castillo! Oh yes good news indeed, as this game that has been in development for a good few months now and created using CPCtelera, looks to feature a character that resembles Krillin from Dragon Ball Z that can also trade places with another character in the game. In light of this news of which we only found out today, the developer had released a teaser trailer through his Twitter page!
