Seems that I´ve found the Amstrad Version Now, what about the Spectrum Version ???

World of Spectrum has it.

[RetroMan]

THX

[Amiga1992]

Yep, both versions suck

The Atari Lynx version is teh greatest IMO/

What about Nemesis for teh Amstrad, Retroman? I neve rseen it, mind posting screenies and impressions of taht game? (and I think Salamander/Life FOrce was released too, so post comments and screenies about that one too )

It might be time for a 'CPC THread'

Well, I can say for sure that I own Salamander for CPC (Original), not sure about Nemesis ..... can´t check right now cause I cannot find the disk box, where I have put my CPC originals, but I post a scan as soon as I find them

Shadow of the Beast was the last CPC game I bought (or was Bloodwych?) and it looks better on a green monitor than on a colour one

And here goes the Salamander pic. After playing it again on Caprice, yes, is a lot faster than what I remembered

Sorry for the triple post but I forgot type this url: http://www.aceroms.com/cpc/cpc.htm

Here you'll find all CPC disks and here:
ftp://ftp.nvg.ntnu.no/pub/cpc/
more disks and redumped-fixed images (updated daily)

Hell yes! Best graphics and the most playable

I already had the Spectrum version for sometime, and I even told Akira about it when I got it. I won't comment about it , as I don't even like the Miggy game that much...
But what I found really weird is that the word "Shadow of the" never appears in the game (It's like the game is only called "Beast" ) , and there's NO Psygnosis or Reflections credits in the game!

I just got the Amstrad version with the pack of games I've just downloaded, so I'll may comment about it later..

I have a little more to say about the CPC, but I'll say it in the other CPC thread....

Not weird, that´s cause GREMLIN had the rights on the Amstrad and Spectrum Versions (look advert posted above)

Yes, it ain't funny anymore. You pig

[Amiga1992]

Thanks for posting the CPC pics. I can officially say it sucks The Commodore versions were SO great!

I still might end up buying them. What about R-Type? I almost nab that one on eBay...

[RetroMan]

Well, R-Type is not a very good conversion IMHO, but make your mind ....

hey, rtype looks better

but l rather not judge by looks! will try all tehse games

Nope, it's like the spectrum version. If you want a good CPC shooter try Silkworm

[RetroMan]

Hmmm, there was a really great shooter on CPC, you fly in an world war one airplane and the scrolling was up/down, but I can´t remember the name

The onnly one I can now remember is 1943 (great conversion) but it can`t be (WWII airplane). Do you have more info about publisher or year?



...Is Scramble Spirits?
