Hi all, it was a pleasure to be on an episode recently, where I mentioned the first Amstrad meetup in the UK.
It happened recently and I thought I'd share this video of the highlights:
Thank you so much for your support, especially Dave, Chris, Jason and Producer Duncan :D
Today I take a retrospective review of another Ocean Software game. This time it’s Rambo III. I cover all the versions - Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, MSX, Amstrad CPC, Amiga, Atari ST and MS-DOS. Have you played any of these versions and did you think the game was any good?
I've been working on a remake of Zaxxon. I'm sharing the journey in a devlog format, and the project's source code is fully open, making the entire process as transparent as possible. I hope you like it!

Retro computing History was made at the first-ever UKAG event! I attended this landmark Amstrad UK Group gathering, where I interviewed Roland Perry (the godfather of the CPC) about a never-released CPC sequel prototype! Come join the party!
The inaugural UKAG gathering in Ottershaw, West London, brought the Amstrad community together like never before, and getting to get the low-down from the man behind the CPC about a secret, lost piece of hardware was the ultimate highlight. Check out the video for a full tour of the event and the incredible prototype insights.
Afterburner, 23 stages total. Still have this, original box somewhere stored heh. Good game? So-so, I'd say a 7/10, as a faithful conversion? 9/10, almost as good as it gets on Amstrad.
