Seriously, amstrad could even better had got some ASIC with ROM+ACID in a single chip.Īmstrad, according to some rumors, did the PLUS series only to get rid of components stocks. lol) : 65fr.ĪCID being custom it was probably a bit expensive (on the other hand it is just a small chip) = Amstrad Basic cartridge (for PLUS, to get "98% CPC softs compatibles. (with vaporwares such as CougarForce, Badlands, KickOff, Midnight Resistance, NightBreed, Shadow of the Beast 2. I use the same browser as you and I cant play the game. the PCB and the casing (plus additionnal production and resistors.)īy may 1991. My kbh games are not working, is there any way to play burnin rubber 2. :'(Ĭartridges needed 2 chips : ACID and ROM. While a mundane 3"1/2 disk was 2,90Fr per unit. General (same date) : 15 x maxell CF2 = 295Fr (300. we got to remember that 3" disks were expensive as hell. While a DiskGame was more like 150Fr and a tape game 100Fr.Ĭoncerning production cost. ("General" from Amstrad 100% december1990.) Quote from: MacDeath on 18:12, 13 May 11 What else ? =Mysticall : a vertical shooter which doesn't use HardSprites ? GTFO !Īlso, no Game should have been 256x200sized screen equivalent on Cartridge ! and get a few better colour choices then. =Klax : Great game at first, just redimension the screen so to only had the "missing part". and perhaps the Cartridge was also too short. but the CPC graphics were sometimes far too specifically designed for the CPC palette that some pixels would have needed some changes too.
=Batman the Movie : also could have well benefited from a recolour. But the 128K cartridge was too short they even had to removes bits. =Barbarian 2 : vcould have been good if recoloured and used some Hardsprites for a few stuffs. 10 really decent official games with no need to additionnal hardware (Phaser). To be fair, most Titus titles weren't good at all on any machine but Fire and forget2 and crazy cars2 (yet they were already a bit outdated when re-released on Cartridge.) Shamefull games yet using PLUS : (some of them being ported from CPC anyway, sort of) Shamefull straight ports yet with bits of graphics recoloured : (some of those were decent on CPC.shamefull on GX.)
