Amstrad Backlog 2: The Sugar Strikes Back
Willy Wino's Stag Night
Cred Breaks Out
Let's see I've ripped games directly from a fast food company and not just a licensed game either, a telecom company, a cereal company, a bakery (on the GBA though), oh about a bank? It's just like the Atari 2600 when you had all sorts of companies publishing games. It was the only game by TSB that kinda still is around today (I say kinda because they merged then unmerged).
Shanghai Karate
International Speedway
Pro Skateboard Simulator
Lode Runner
LED Storm
Ball Bearing
The Willow Pattern Adventure
A rare treat, ripped most of the game including the background tiles. On other computers, this was a redone version of Treasure Island (same developers, same gameplay but different setting and graphics) but the CPC didn't get that game... At first glance appears to be based off an ancient Chinese story, like Romance of the Three Kingdoms or Journey to the West but actually it was an English Victorian creation to sell porcelain hence the name Willow Pattern.
The Chessmaster 2000
Was wondering when Ubisoft was going to show up... While they published later ones in The Chessmaster series, this was the first game in the series that they published and only on this computer. The others were handled by Dro Soft (Spectrum/MSX), EA, The Software Toolworks, Hi-Tech Expressions, Mindscape... even Nintendo (PAL NES) and Sega (Game Gear) published this game!
Couldn't find the board and not happy with my attempts in capturing.
Fighting Soccer
More from this game was going to be ripped such as the intro, it's rare for the computer to have an animated intro in a game. One problem? I cannot find the sprites at all for some of the animation.
Found the graphics for the backgrounds (player and the goal), as well as the ball and part of the title screen text but... The sprites for the small player, the goalkeeper and the rest of the title screen cannot be found. Tried switching modes since sometimes it happens (e.g. storing Mode 2 graphics in a Mode 1 game or even Mode 1 for a Mode 0 game e.g. 5 a Side Footy) but no result.
Noticed that this problem has gotten bad to the point of being serious. There are some rips that I'm not happy with and had to resort to capturing just so someone wouldn't complain "X SPRITE IS MISSING!" World Cup Carnival... Galachip... A certain famous mouse...
Ninja Grannies
Haven't ripped a fighting game with a roster this crazy since Human Killing Machine! Perhaps even more so. Yeah, just like Street Fighter 1 and HKM, you can only play as one fighter.
Bridge-It
Wondered what is considered one of the worst games on the computer? Imagine Manhole on the Game & Watch but make it worse. That's Bridge-It.
Mike Gunner
A Light Gun Shooter, yes there were light guns on the computer. Three different ones with each game supporting one but not the other (Spanish made games like this supported the Gun Stick, Lorciel did the West Phaser and some games even supported the Spectrum Magnum Light Phaser).
Finally we have...
Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles: World Tour
About an obscure TMNT coloring book?
More to come.
