Mimo's Quest by Christ PERVER is an adventure game released in 2020 and last updated in August 2023.
Génération Micros made three videos about the history of the Amstrad CPC (french) :
Other videos are about individuals games, I invite you to check them too.
Looking at videos on Youtube, I stumbled on the New Retro Show and two of his series of videos :
One nice game in the video is Cara Grabs Antimatter which is playable on the page (finished it in 11:22 with some time off keyboard). The game is using CGALIB by Cyningstan, a library for Open Watcom C.
A good part of the DOs games showed will work on CGA and 8086 processor.
Lee Smiths Workshop has done a video to use a retro keyboard (including an Amstrad CPC 464) as an USB Keyboard thanks to a Raspberry Pico. The code is available on this Github.
Last time I announced a new version of FutureOS for Amstrad CPC was in 2018..., even if there were several new versions since. So this version is written by Gunhed (5-6 years ago by TFM).
The most important feature of this new version is the support for the excellent M4 board expansion by Duke.
Under the download links, you will find a link named M4-Folder which seems to be very useful if you have a M4 Board.
The video below (french) is one year old and is presenting FutureOS, done by Eric BOULAT.
Doh sorry for tonight but copy/paste the french text (hit the french flag up there to the right) in google translate if the photo below make you drool. Will try to translate it myself tomorrow, sorry.
To make it short, there are 7 models of the protection :
Price is 17 &euros; including shipping for France and 20 &euros; for Spain (shipping included too). For any other international shipping, contact him first.
Included in the packaging :
For ordering, you must :
1) payment with Paypal of the good amount (number of order x price : 17 or 20) to fredisland at acpc dot me. You cant ask to reserve for later.
2) at the same time you pay on Papyal, you can leave a message, it's really important as you must leave your postal address, which protection you want and how many, or send these informations as a private message on Facebook or by email.
Frédéric will confirm your order (by PM or email) that your order will be processed (well if you leaved all the needed informations). As his original message was in August and as he has now the protections in stock, shipping should be quick but don't forget he is a one man show not Amazon, sometimes humans needs to eat, sleep, work too (Genesis8bit opinion, not a translation of Frédéric's words).
First announced in a tweet, the modula Amstrad CPC by Bread80 is presented by himself in the CPCWiki forum with more informations.
Why playing to Amstrad CPC games with a keyboard or a joystick (original or USB) when you can play differently : with an IR remote control ? It's what has done Poulette73 but you will need the RSF3 expansion by TMTLogic. And the programs must be adapted as you will see in two videos :
Poulette73 is presenting the RSF3 on CPCRulez.
Roland Retires is a WIP Amstrad CPC game by Brick Fabrik near completion which will be presented at the Amstrad Eterno event at Malaga on the 30th September. Code and design are by Mode 2 and music by Riskwood (you can hear the music here).
Due to hasard, I found the Github of Jason Brooks (Argonaut) where you will be able to find the source code of his Amstrad CPC programs (1985 to early 1990). You can read there that he was mostly programming in assembler, ADAM (Assembler, Disassembler and Monitor) was his tool of choice as it was fully relocatable, could be loaded into a ram bank on a 6128 and was very capable when hacking and reverse engineering code and protection systems in its day
