@Jonathan_Blow Is it creativity that's dying?. I believed for a long time......won't it be great when we effectively have unlimited resources for development. Are AAA developers just getting lazy?

Most people seem not to have noticed the collapse of the game industry (they go "huh??" when I mention it), but Doc and Shroud have... twitter.com/JakeSucky/stat…

@theretrobyte The original Plug & Play?. And who can forgot frantically trying to re-plug it in, after accidentally ripping it out mid game😂

Plug it in and let the fun begin 🕹

The bots are in for a surprise tomorrow

@Grassomaniac Monitor stands are awesome. When I got mine, I forgot about the maximum span thing 🤦. Ended up running the right one vertically. Ended up a win, as I use it for reference info/pdf's ect.

I've been busy this afternoon! I now have a monitor stand which has cleaned my desk up! Bit of a shame about my 3rd as it doesn't have a stand but it doesn't get much use

@swooper_d @SupernerdsT Actually I think your onto something, lol. I just putting those other games back, and these caught my eye 😂

@AmstradCPCGames @SupernerdsT That Transformers VHS is from the 80s my dude, as is the Mega Drive/Genesis case design (even if that specific game is from 1993). So I think we're mostly on the same page 🍻

Surely we can all agree that black boxes with white gridlines was peak media case design and should never have been abandoned?

@natedugiturner @Timspeer8 Me and my mother both witnessed the same thing in the 80s. Made the local news after a politician flying past also saw it.

@Timspeer8 Here’s a still. Could have possible been balloons, but they really didn’t meander around the sky like a balloon tends to. They had a much more direct path across the sky. Also strange that I saw four. I’ve seen lots of balloons in the sky before, and these felt different.

Is this video real? Any feedback would be great

@krakout Yea, wow. That sounds really interesting. Will give it a try this weekend.

Tenebra - new game for the #amstrad #cpc ! #new" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">cpcwiki.eu/forum/games/ne…

@xyphoe Yea, I've been on CPCWiki for a while now....... Most of it goes over my head 😂

@AmstradCPCGames Nice! But that is the extent of my knowledge on the hardware scroll - people far far cleverer than me had to explain it when I did my Mission Genocide video! You can see similar issues to LED Storm on "Danger Street" from Chip on horizontal scrolling using R3 (horizontal adjust)

Missed last night's "Arcade To Amstrad #17! ⭐️ Coin-op conversions to the CPC! 🕹️" AMSTREAM? Well you can now catch-up with it as a normal YouTube video here! ▶️ youtube.com/watch?v=LwA32q… Rampage ran away with best conversion of the night! Cyberball was surprisingly fun though!

@xyphoe Thanks Xyphoe, genuinely appreciated. I'm ashamed to say I've been programming as a hobby for 40 years, and I've never visited the CPC. I literally dragged these books out of my bookcase, last week, after 15+ years 😂 I have Genocide on tape, will test it out with my camera.

@AmstradCPCGames Games like "Mission Genocide" uses rupture to put a status panel to do just that and that works a treat. You'll note LED Storm doesn't (you can't even see how much fuel you have left!) - I guess they couldn't work out how to do that, so you're left with this mess unfortunately.
