Sudoku Completed

2008
Kevin Thacker has announced via the CPC Zone forums that his latest CPC game, Sudoku, has been completed and a full demo version is available now for downloading from his own site. Kev has given full permission for this version to be distributed freely with the condition that it is linked back to his website. You can also get information on the other games that Kevin has worked on including recent release Balloonacy.
The full game will be available from Cronosoft in due course. Hopefully they'll be able to put out on sale without the problems that blighted their last few releases. For more information on Cronosoft then head over to their website.

Star Sabre and Balloonacy finally released!
24
2008
After a series of behind the scenes delays, both 'Star Sabre' and 'Balloonacy' are now available to buy from the Cronosoft website.
'Star Sabre' is described as: "A superb shooter from down under - Paul Kooistra's 'Star Sabre' is slick and smooth, and very colourful. Bound to be a hit game!"
Meanwhile 'Balloonacy' is a nod for the puzzlers and is a conversion of a C64 game by Kev Thacker.
Both games are priced at £2.99 each on cassette with a full colour inlay or £1.75 for the emulator image. A £1.00 royalty goes to the authors for each copy sold.
As well as the two new releases, Cronosoft also still have in stock some other CPC games namely: 'The Smirking Horror', 'Stranded', 'Iron Sphere', 'Yarkon Blues', 'Yarkon Blues II' and 'Help Inc."
Thanks to Simon for the news and the hard work that goes into getting these games out on sale.

Bored? Give this classic CPC game a try!
the best hack em up the Amstrad. brilliant nuff said
I was drawn into this game because of the big breasted Maria Whittaker - had a huge A1 sized poster of her on my wall... Barbarian is one of the coolest cpc games ever an 8bit legend in its own right & remains so 2day. Classic cpc game, so simple yet so brilliantly put together by Palace Software. 
It`s rare that you can get more fun than this. Simply great graphics, fantastic (and humorous!) fun, and the two-player mode is the most fun you can have on an 8-bitter...
Barbarian... Whay more can we say about this game that has not been said before. I spent many many hours of my youth playing this with my mates. It has great graphics and sound, and has some amazing animation and awesome gameplay. Brilliant!
Words cannot describe how much I love this game... even now I still roll around trying to perfect a head chop or a perfect victory. Barbarian is one of the greats.
