Thanks to a heads up by Xenomorph we've been told that Andrea "Mr. DVG" Pastore has released their latest game of IL MARINAIO, a brand-new Amstrad CPC release built entirely from scratch in pure Z80 assembly language with the help of AI. Inspired by the iconic 1982 game Popeye from the arcades , the game hopefully captures the charm of the original.

A rather fabulous arcade-inspired shooter has been released for the Amstrad CPC by Titan. Titled as 'Skyshift', the project draws heavy inspiration from classic vertical shooters like 1943. To maximize programming efficiency and ensure crisp readability on the Amstrad CPC, Titan has said that they have opted for a specialized 128x256 pixel gameplay window running in the Amstrad's distinct Mode 0. The game introduces players to a World War I Allied flying ace who, while dogfighting over the front lines in the spring of 1918, is suddenly swallowed by a bizarre, luminous cloud. He emerges into a radically changed sky, facing hyper-advanced, propellerless enemy aircraft that far outclass his fragile biplane.

The House on the Borderland - First person survival horror game for the C64 by AI/Michael Cox

Another C64 game to play with the release of The House on the Borderland, a first person survival horror game created by developer Michael Cox. Drawing direct inspiration from William Hope Hodgson’s classic 1908 novel, the game tasks players with a desperate stand to protect their home, their sister, and their loyal dog from an onslaught of marauding swine-things. Survival hinges on enduring three brutal nights of siege, where daylight hours must be carefully spent resting, repairing fortifications, and tending to the wounded. Compounding the tension is a strict lack of re-supply, forcing players to meticulously ration their starting stock across the entire ordeal while managing a unique "dread" meter. If this gauge climbs too high due to darkness, eerie silence, or structural damage, your character's perception will warp, leaving you completely paralysed by fear.

When the local schoolteacher and ultimate love interest, Rosita, is abruptly kidnapped, our gunslinging hero must hit the trail to rescue her. Rumours point to the notorious "Joe the Mad Miner" as the captor, but a deeper conspiracy suggests a much more powerful puppet master is pulling the strings from the shadows of this dusty frontier.

Devil-System has resurrected Palace Software’s 1985 classic with the release of Cauldron: Halloween Edition for the Amstrad CPC.

While the original release garnered praise for its dual gameplay modes and visuals, it was notoriously infamous for its punishing, excessive difficulty. This new edition helps that issue by packing in three distinct difficulty levels, a dedicated training mode for relaxed exploration, a built-in map, and modern conveniences like a pause feature, a high-score table, and essential game-saving capabilities across four supported languages.

To survive the onslaught, climbers can blind foes with a flashlight, snatch up power pills and feathers for a competitive edge, and chain together actions to keep their high-score bonus ticking across four distinct environments—ranging from jungle ledges, icy caves, spinning wheels to a towering waterfall.
