A complete rewrite of R-Type for the Amstrad CPC6128.
- muyuu 15y agoI swear I dreamt about R-Type last night... it was similar to the Amiga version but much improved. When I saw this in HN I was blown away by the coincidence!
- beschizza 15y agoThere's something almost pathological about the un-nostalgia behind these projects, but in such a wonderful, persistent, perfecting way.

- Luc 15y agoI think you have pretty much made nostalgia for that era an art form, so you'd be doing everyone a favour by linking to some more of your posts, e.g.: Classic Arcade Game Deaths http://boingboing.net/2011/03/25/classic-arcade-game-1.html http://boingboing.net/2011/03/25/classic-arcade-game-1.html Tinyhack http://boingboing.net/rob/tinyhack/ http://boingboing.net/rob/tinyhack/
- reinhardt 15y agoAmstrad CPC6128 was my first computer.. put it to good use for several years, both gaming and my first steps in programming (BASIC FTW!). Ah, the memories..
- richardw 15y agoI had a CPC464. I put an incredible amount of time into coding on that computer.
