@@bgprods9514 Oh, come on... Don't be like that. Nothing wrong with wanting to fully explore the original CPC and, if anything, us CPC fans will only gain from your ventures, but once the old CPC has been juiced 💦 ... I'm sure there's plenty of new challenges to be found under the hood of the Plus/GX4000. 😉
Could be the most powerful 8bit machine, but every game that I see in comparison to the C64 unfortunately is extremely better! The frame rate on the C64 and the scrolling are arcade level.

@@amstrad79b lol...I was wondering when the odd c64 fanboi would show up... You guys just can't help yourselves, can you? 😀 You know, oddly enough I've jotted down a whole list of multiplatform games that are better on the CPC and that's not even counting modern releases and CPC exclusives (i.e. from the post '90s era of the CPC, after its motorola CRTC chip was rediscovered), which, unlike old games, took advantage of the CPC's hardware scrolling, split-screen and sprites capabilities... As for the music, I prefer the AY's crisp, clear sound to the sid's muffled, meowing cat-like sound. The AY started to sing after Soundtrakker was released and used in many games/demos. Now we also have Arkos tracker, which is even more advanced (that's debatable). That, plus the fact that the CPC's built-in mono speaker was the epitome of *crappy* quality (whereas the c64 was hooked onto a TV set, which automatically offers better sound quality...), contributed to this misconception that the CPC doesn't have good sound. Thankfully, things have changed since then. 😃
@@amstrad79b Can you please give us an example of any real Commodore 64 game that has this level of graphics, speed and scrolling? Most commercial games were better on the C64 because it sold many millions more than the Amstrad and more efforts were put into it.
La conversion CPC par Batman Group est impressionnante. Tout y est : les graphismes, la rapidité et fluidité du scrolling, la physique de la bille, les musiques... C'est de loin le plus beau jeu de flippers sur Amstrad et pour moi l'une des plus belles réalisations sur CPC de tous les temps.
Phenomenal conversion! This game blew people away when it appeared on the Amiga. To think that this is an Amstrad version is all the more impressive! (I'm still not sure I can even believe this really is a CPC!) This conversion is so accurate in every detail, it feels more like an emulation. The only tiny way I can fault this is the intro music for Beat Box, which is missing drums, and that was an important part of that tune.
I had a CPC. It was a great all rounder. My parents used it for word processing for their business till '94, I did my school and college work on it and gamed. It might not have been the best games platform but plenty of kids had one. The joke machine back then was the VIC20 (only because it was a previous generation but ya know, kids) the CPC, Speccy and C64 were the main ones we had. Rich kids got the Amiga when it came out. Anyway CPC was good. I learned to code on it
Une dinguerie cette adaptation, et Rhino clamerait qu'il reste 50% du z80 sous le capot d'après ce que j'ai lu. Me tarde de voir une d~mo du jeu de bagnole.
Impressionnant ! je l'ai eu sur atari st ,mais cette version cpc est impresionnante ,sacrée prouesse technique ,c'est rapide et un beau scrolling fluide !
oh man it's really good! and i don't really play pinball games in general.. if you compare this to the amiga is a very respectable effort! .. i am shocked! very colorful and nice gameplay
wish they would do a release of Digital Illusions pinball titles on PS4. some awesome tables what with Stone & Bones and the legendary 💀🎃⚡ Nightmare Pinball⚡🎃💀 doesn't seem possible these tables were made nearly 30 years ago (early 90's if I remember correctly)
@@trocoloco Yes but ultimately pointless. The amstrad was always the red headed stepchild back in the day and rightly so. The cool kids had c64s. Showing it's true colours in 2020 when we have smart phones and high powered games consoles is just a complete waste of time. You cant even chalk it up to nostalgia cos this game didnt exist back in the day. But hey whatever floats your boat I guess.

Great skill, congratulations!
Thank you! 🦇
ditto 😉🦇
So...are you going to show the Plus/GX4000 some love too? Crowd fund your project.
*throws money at the screen*
@@GenMaster I think great things are about to be announced for Plus/GX4000 but we like the challenge of the old CPC better :) Thanks!

Simply put.... A state of the art miracle for all of those who correctly claim that the CPC is the most powerful 8bit machine.
yeah baby

Nice vid =D Enjoyed watching you play Nightmare - well played!!

Amazing port!

Crazy impressive!!
W O W !!
Super! Super!!

some awesome tables what with Stone & Bones and the legendary
💀🎃⚡ Nightmare Pinball⚡🎃💀
doesn't seem possible these tables were made nearly 30 years ago
(early 90's if I remember correctly)
This is making me want to see this run on a Sega Master System.
Wow this put the C64 version to shame. We need an updated C64 version now to restore the balance :D
#amstradsupremacy
Does it play on the gx4000 with the c4cpc cart ?
Yes I think, because it works well with an HXC.
Let's hope that GX4000 hasn't exploded yet.
@@amstradmaniaque Really, even with 64k ram ? Need to test asap :)
:D
Impressive,.. when less is more.
How ever, i don't think a real Amastrad CPC can handle that as the video shows. That must be an emulator.
@@fristytron Works great on a real CPC.
Great conversion! Does the CPC have some hardware scroll support?
yes
The CPC hw scroll is very bad. It's jerky 4 pixel horizontal hw scroll... not smooth at all.
M. Maniaque votre écran supporte t il le 50hz ?
Oui
This is nice and all, but the c64 was better when it counted. Have fun playing your cpc in 2020 talking about what might have been lol.
I don't care about what it was or what might have been, I care about the now and what it is. And it is great, CPC showing its true colours ♥
