Prohibition Remake - JavaCPC Games owner remakes a classic Amstrad shooter in Java

Markus Hohmann of JavaCPC Games has contacted us to let us know about the latest Amstrad Java remake of Prohibition that is available for download for PC and Mac. First released in the early 80's in the Arcades and then ported over to the Amstrad in 1987 by Inforgrams, this remake is of the Amstrad version and features gun blasting first person action with mouse support, tv filters, difficulty modes, and even sweet swinging background music.

JavaCPC Desktop - The best Amstrad CPC emulator reaches version 2.9m

As someone who uses both real hardware and emulators, it's great being able to play games either from the real thing or through a PC using the latest software. For some going on Ebay and spending hundreds of pounds if not thousands of pounds playing every single game they remember just to have an original on a 30 year old computer just isn't always possible. Now many of you have heard how amazing WinUAE is for the Amiga community, but did you know that our recent feature of the Amstrad emulator 'JavaCPC' is just as good? Well it is, and that emulator today has just reached a brand new build of 2.9m that features a number updates to make this emulator even more brilliant!

JavaCPC Desktop - Impressive CPC emulation and Shadow of the Beast [UPDATE]

A world without emulation, what a thought! No way of playing retro games other than on the system hardware they were designed for and having to spend thousands upon thousands of pounds just to play every game in that retro catalogue. So we have to be thankful for emulation such as the Amstrad CPC - JavaCPC Desktop by Devil Markus (Markus Hohmann), of which we are going to give a quick feature today that does a lot more than play just Amstrad games.

CDT2WAV 1.4 - The latest tape emulator for Amstrad owners

If you're an Amstrad owner especially those of you who still prefer tapes, then you might be interested to know that Markus Hohmann has released the latest CDT2WAV for PC-Amstrad tape emulation. It's a pretty impressive bit of software that is able to play Amstrad tape sounds from your PC and can be used to convert original CDT to WAV playback. Today the developer has announced the release of 1.4 with Automatic pause control: Maybe useful to load games like from Amsoft. (Which need some time to draw a title screen).
