The video game console Colecovision was released in August 1982, versus the challenger : the Atari VCS 2600 released in September 1977.

Risky Risk by ArcadeVision has been released just this month on the Colecovision. I already wanted to buy a Colecovision to go with my Atari VCS 5200, one more reason to do it.

Four physical editions of the game are still available.

An information three months old, to play more easily to Operation Thunderbolt with the laser sight always active (modification found by Urusergi), where it is normally a bonus you must get. It exists a CPR version for Amstrad CPC+ or GX4000 and for DSK version for plain Amstrad CPC.

There are already 8 people at the Reset 30 meeting, eleven other people will arrive later. And we have a guest from Germany : Kangaroo, already arrived (see the right of the photo).

You are a good programmer (or not), you got an Amstrad CPC and a portable Nintendo 3DS console ?

No holds barred is a new WIP Amstrad CPC game (like Renegade) written by sigh. A video is available and Sigh just finished drawing the background of the second level with its female boss.

Arkalys Project is a french blog about the french computer RPG (1980 till today). It already featured about Mandragore, Tyrann and Citadelle who did exist on Amstrad CPC.

This meeting is organized by Eliot (Benediction). It's a success each year since 2000.

Whatever your interest in Amstrad CPC, you will be welcome. It will be the occasion to see previews of incoming programs and to meet other CPCists.

As usual there will be a contest.
