The Amstrad CPC computer is a 8 bit computer from the period of the Spectrum and C64. The thing that always strikes me are the colors of the CPC games. They seems to be brighter and more vivid than the colours of the C64
It has a nice game library, most games will be available for other systems as well. See what versions you prefer.

Game Video: Switchblade - Amstrad CPC
Switchblade is a smooth playing platformer for the Amstrad CPC with great music. After you get comfortable with the controls this is a treat to play.
The comment added to the youtube video describes the game in more detail. The video is part 1 of a walkthrough. The videos can help you when you are stuck in the game.

Link: Paradize homebrew for Atari-ST
If you like homebrew you don't have to limit yourself to GP2X homebrew only. For a lot of older systems there are still programs being made or have been made in the past.
For the Atari-ST look here for a good example. This group still makes some nice games for the Atari-ST. Not all games work with OutcaST, but some that I have tested do. Their game Nuclear Waste Dump is for example a nice original little game that works great with OutcaST.

Game Video: Repton - BBC Micro
Another game that is considered a true classic by many and made by a young developer (Tim Tyler). Repton for the BBC micro.
Especially people from the UK will remember the BBC micro personal computer, but it is not so well known in other countries. I knew of its existence, but never played it until I fired up Beebem on the GP2X.
This game looks a lot like Boulderdash. Gather all diamonds and avoid being killed.
More information about the game and some historical facts here

GP2X and Pandora
In this article (updated July 29th 2009) I want to give some links and information about the GP2X and Pandora. I will link to this article on the frontpage and adjust this with new information and new links whenever that is necessary.
The GP2X is a handheld video game console and media player. It is capable of emulating other devices like NES/SNES/C64/Atari-ST/Amiga/Spectrum/Genesis/Arcade and more. Also there is a lot of other free quality software especially made for the GP2X made by hobbyists. You can also use the GP2X as a mediaplayer (MP3/Video).
For a good overview of some of the most important capabilities of the GP2X look here
The Pandora will be the non-official successor of the GP2X (that is the GP2X-Wiz). It is not made by GPH, but an initiative from GP2X distributors with input from the GP2X community. It will have a clamshell design like the Nintendo DS and will have a small keyboard, touch screen and wifi on-board. The specs of the device will be a lot better than the GP2X and PSP. Launch date is not known yet. Launch is expected in September. More info here

Dingoo or GP2X-wiz what is the best choice?

Game Video: Chuckie Egg - ZX Spectrum
A cult classic that has been ported and cloned on many systems. The first version was the Sinclair ZX Spectrum version and the hardcore fans of the game think the Spectrum version is still the best.
Goal of the game is very simple, catch all the eggs and don't get killed by man-sized evil chickens. No review link this time, but an interview with the developer of the game Nigel Alerton here.
He claims he was 15 writing the game, other sources come up with 16. Nevertheless writing something classic as this game on that age is something to be proud of.
Funny little game, still worth a try especially this time of the year :).

Game Video: Bump 'n' Jump - NES
According to a review of Bump 'n' Jump for the NES you can find here (scroll a bit down to find the review) the NES version is better than the arcade version of this game.
I don't know about that, but this version is fun indeed and has some extras compared to the arcade version.

Game Video: Pitman - Gameboy
If you like puzzle games, this one might interest you. It is one of the few games I ever finished completely.
Haven't seen a review on the internet so I made one myself:
Menu
In the menu you can choose the round (level) to start. There are 99 levels and 1 level ??. Level ?? is the last level. The only way to unlock this level is by playing through all the levels.
There is an output and input password option. This was handy in the days without gameboy emulators and savestates, but nowadays I prefer to save a snapshot after finishing a level instead of writing down a password. .
You can create your own levels with Pitman. I never bothered with this option, but for the seriously addicted it could prevent going cold turkey after finishing all levels.
The Game
You are a catboy or a catgirl (and in some later stages both) and have to clear levels from creeps. The creeps are easy to eliminate, just punch them in their faces.
Like most puzzle games, to solve a level, you have to use a certain part of your body called 'brains'.
There are pretty common puzzle objects like rocks you can push and use to fill up holes . Bushes in the game can't be moved but can be eliminated by walking through them. Blocks above the bush can fall down. When blocks or creeps fall down on you, you will not be killed, but they can block your way out of a level. In some later levels you can switch from catgirl to catboy and solve the puzzle with 2 moving characters.
Controls
In GnuBoy2X the 'a' or 'b' button can be used to take back a move. Home / Start button will give you the option to scroll the game (useful in large levels), restart the level or exit to the menu.
Gameplay
A lot of puzzles start easy and are fun, but when the level difficulty starts to increase the boredom strikes in. Not with Pitman aka CatTrap.
I like this game a lot. The main reason is probably the easy controls and fast gameplay. If you've made a mistake taking back a move is painless and fast. Although levels can be difficult sometimes it never gets annoying because of the fast restarts or take backs.
If you like games like Sokoban, this will certainly appeal to you. If not, well.. give it a try anyway.

Game Video: Warioware Inc - Gameboy Advance
Warioware Inc is one of those games that combines elements of various games into something completely new.
It contains wacky very short reaction minigames. You are jumping, dodging, shooting, catching, stopping etc. After completing the minigames for a certain level, without losing all 4 lives, you are confronted with a slightly harder minigame, the boss. Beating the boss can unlock other levels.
A very addictive, original and fun game. Review here
Works flawless overclocked to 240 Mhz on GpSP.

Opinion: Buy a GP2X and don't wait for Pandora
One of questions I see a lot on the GP2X forums, is 'should I buy a GP2X or wait for Pandora'.
I still believe it is a good idea to buy a GP2X until the release date of the Pandora is final. Right now we only know the first 100 units will be probably sent to developers in May. They have to test the units, that will take a couple of weeks or even months. After the test period there will probably be bugs in the design and fixing that will take some more time as well.
Also after the Pandora is released, the sofware library will not be as huge as the GP2X. The only reason I can think of to wait for Pandora is when you want it primarely for PSX emulation. There is a PSX emulator for the gp2x, but it is too slow to be really usable. See examples here
When you buy a GP2X, you will know what you get:
- Lots of great emulators and homebrew that will give you the ability to play an amazing amount of games
- Still actively developed for
- Light weighted
- Easy vertical playing of Mame games
- A lot of quality homebrew, fa Sqdef, Ruckman
- Most of the problems from older versions of the GP2X has been solved fa the current d-cap on the F200 is very good.
Even if every developer would stop developing for the GP2X you would still have 1000's emulated games and homebrew to play. Enough games to keep you busy for the rest of your life.
When you read the GP2X forum, most of the discussions are about the Pandora or the newest emulator/homebrew. There is almost no discussion about the games that already play flawless and are available.
That is what I aim to achieve with this blog, show what the GP2X is capable of today.
[Edit] 07 July 2008: Production of the GP2X has been stopped. That doesn't make this blog entry less valid. You can still buy the GP2X cheap second hand.
My guess is that it will still take some time (months) to produce the Pandora.
[Edit] March 21st 2009:
Nope still no launch of Pandora :( Whatever the reason of these delays, a lot of them were predicted (I was one of them) so the Pandora team should be more careful in predicting launchdates. I add another prediction here... I don't expect its release before July 2009
[Edit] June 7th 2009
Launch of Pandora is confirmed being July 2009.
[Edit] June 27th. I will not update this opinion anymore, because of the launch of the Wiz and Dingoo. A second hand GP2X will probably cost as much as a new Dingoo. If you don't want to wait for the Pandora or you think it is too expensive, buy a Wiz or a Dingoo. They are both great for retrogaming.
Pandora will not be launched in July (hopefully August)

Game Video: Yar's Revenge - Atari 2600
For today I have chosen an old classic for the Atari 2600, Yar's Revenge. The best original selling title of the 2600, released in 1981.
It is a game that hasn't aged that much. I even think the graphics are still pretty nice, its got some nice explosions and a colorful safe zone. Gameplay is fun and fast, and as most games for the 2600 every level gets increasingly harder.
This game has not had a real sequel and the gameboy color version sucks imo. That makes it still a good and original game that every retrogamer should have played.
Review here
The video is a great tutorial how to play the game. Plays without overclocking on GP2X-2600

Game Video: Stunt Car Racer - Amiga / ST
One of my favorite racing games is Stunt Car Racer. Graphics are a bit outdated, but that was not its best feature anyway. The realistic physics and the original tracks are what makes this game shine.
Don't judge this game only based on the youtube video, this is a game you need to experience and hopefully enjoy as much as I do.
Not much difference between the Atari-ST and Amiga version The Amiga version has got slightly better sound, but the Atari-ST version appears to have a better framerate.
The C64 version is pretty good as well, some people even prefer that version (don't ask me why).
Plays without overclocking on OutcaST and UAE4All.

Opinion: Why is retrogaming the way to go?
If you like gaming there is no better way than retrogaming and of course best enjoyed on the handheld king of emulation the GP2X.
Why is that?
Well, if you read reviews for new games they seem to be not always impartial. There is a lot of money involved in the gaming industry so I am sure some of the good reviews are being sponsored by the companies making the games. So you think you buy the best game ever, but it could well be a major disappointment. Also there is not always a lot of choice for new consoles. Best games for any console are mostly made near the end of its commercial success. Do you want to wait that long, for a couple of good games?
If an older game is still played today and people are still liking it, that's a sure sign of having a good game. History judged the games, and the games surviving are the best to play. The only thing probably will be less are the graphics. New technologies will continue to improve graphics. A 3d racing game on the PS3 will look a lot better than the first 3d racer on the Spectrum.
That said a game with great graphics but poor gameplay will not last long. That doesn't mean new games have less gameplay, but certainly different. Stuntcar Racer will not look very good compared to the new Gran Turismo 5 but I don't think GT5 makes Stuntcar Racer a bad game. It is still a great game with its own physics and tracks that makes the game unique and loved by many gamers.
Oh, btw... did I already mentioned retrogaming is cheap.

Game Video: Tetris Attack - SNES
Who doesn't like Tetris Attack? I don't think there are people that ever played the game without liking it. It's like popcorn, a taste for everybody.
You can puzzle, play it laid back from level 1, you can select the vs mode and play against SNES, play through rounds or you can have a challenging game selecting any starting level on the endless mode.
So a lot of options to keep you busy for months, or even years.
Only one point of critizism, and there are more Nintendo games with this 'problem'. The ever present cuteness factor makes me want to puke sometimes.
Nevertheless if you can overcome that small issue, you will have a great time playing it.

Game video: Jumping Jack'son - Amiga
Jumping Jack'son is a puzzle-action game that was released for Atari-ST and Amiga. You are Jumping Jack'son and you need to collect records and play them on a record player. Collecting all needed records and playing them will finish the level. If you've ever played Q*Bert you will recognize an element of that game, tiles will change colour when you jump on them. You need to change tiles into 1 colour to receive a record.
Very funny game, good graphics and the music is one its best features.
The add to promote the game (1990) is hilarious: Brave Jumping Jack'son needs to save us from evil classical music, see here
I normally prefer the ST version, uae4all doesn't have savestates so it is a bit more work to start a game on it.
In this case I haven't got another option, because Jumping Jack'son doesn't work on OutcaST.
It works pretty good on uae4all, but it runs a bit smoother with some overclocking.

Best part of the show are interviews with a variety of people from different areas.

He also made a forum available http://www.monroeworld.com/forum with nice discussions about retrogaming, there is even a GP2X section.
