purchased! Will give it a proper go tomorrow :)

Very nice isometric graphic update compared to the already excellent CPC version :)

Excellent shooter! You might want to update the paragraph at the start where it says the game is a port of Tiger Road though ;)

Also, if I purchase it now, will the hiscores save correctly?

This is really good :D halfway through the second base is as far as I can get so far. I like how the characters have different abilities for the platform sections. 

I know thanks, but I’m trying to do it without cheating 🎃

Addictive game, even though I can't get off the first screen yet! 

Oh fantastic!

Looks impressive! Small typo, it's the Amstrad GX4000 ;)

Excellent game! Love the use of the Cauldron graphics and it plays really well as a shmup :D Also love that it saves your high scare. 3444 is my best so far, but will try to improve.

Great Wheel of Fortune game, and works perfectly on GX4000 if you'd like to add the GX4000 cpr file to your page :) I can send you it or you could convert it yourself.

Runs very nicely, much faster now quick makes it more of a challenge. I converted it to GX4000 and it runs great, except that you can't hyperspace. If you wanted to, you could update it so that Fire2 hyperspaced on the console :)

This is brilliant! I converted it to GX4000 and it runs great on the console. Would you like me to send you the .cpr file, or would you like to create one yourself to add to this page? 

Fun game! I haven't made it past level 3 of Blind Man's Buff yet though.

Thanks! If you're able to create a cpr file, I'd love to play this on my GX4000 :D (And even better if you could make it save hiscores on the PicoGX... ;) )

I've tested it and it saves the hiscore perfectly on a real GX4000. Thanks for doing that!

I'll give it a go shortly :) Thanks!

Woo! Thank you for this latest update :D

Nice! Reached level 16 before risking a move and blowing up :O Catchy tune too.

There's a small formatting issue when you reach level 10 - the additional character in the level number pushes the "/ 20" onto the start of the next line.

I know, it was more the fact that the game doesn’t look like it should require that much RAM…

512k of RAM! 😱

Thanks, I'll email you the cart file shortly :)

Hi, any chance you could update this so it works on the GX4000? Instant buy from me if you can! (I know one sale isn't amazing :D )

Will I wait for that update before sending over the .cpr file for GX4000?

This plays brilliantly, thank you so much! :D I have one more ask...would you be able to update the GX4000 version so it saves the hiscore on PicoGX? There's instructions here: https://github.com/Neo2003/PicoGX/blob/master/Programming.md#saving-progress-high-score-or-anything-else

I’ll give the GX4000 version a go later tonight, thanks for doing that :D

Maybe I’m completely misremembering how my arcade board works, so apologies if so :)

I always thought Frak! looked fantastic on the Beeb and was disappointed it never came to the CPC. So now I’m excited that it is!

Thanks for the detailed reply. I’ll need to get my Galaxian arcade board up and running again, but I think it’s needing some soldering 😅

Good point about mode 2, though maybe it could be altered to mimic the arcade dimensions if you used overscan like Donkey Kong did. 

Thanks very much! Genuinely brilliant version of Galaxian you’ve made here :)

Thanks, I've tried it and pressing both fire buttons to pause works which is cool, but it also puts a black character line across the screen, 7 lines from the bottom (pressing Esc does the same).

Also! There are a couple of differences I noticed from the arcade version. When you complete a wave, your game freezes and resets the whole wave, including any missiles you were firing.

In the arcade, you could continue to control your ship and fire it, so you could kill an alien as soon as the entire wave appeared.

Also, I might be wrong but I don't think the aliens reset to the top of the screen as soon as they flew off the side of the screen, I thought they could come back on from the side. But I might be wrong about that.

Hi, this is an amazing version of Galaxian! Would it be possible to change the menu system so it was selectable by joystick?

As it is, I converted it to the GX4000 and it plays great but you can't change the language or game options.

Will do as soon as I can!

This seems like a lot of fun! Only had time for a couple of games so far, but it plays really well :)

I converted it to GX4000 .cpr and it works well, but Fire 2 is set off a trap and Fire 1 is sign off a room. It would be cool if that could be changed for a cart version, as well as P to Pause :) 

Happy to send you the .cpr version if you want it.

Hi, it doesn't load on Jag GD when choosing either $004000 or Headerless ROM. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi, this reminds me of Who Dares Wins 2 a lot, it's fun!

I converted the .dsk to .cpr to play it on my GX4000 but it doesn't work - be cool if you could get it to work :)
