Some of these are actually from games that were not part of our Gamebase system, they have now been added along with all the information that we currently have for those titles, namely Cronosoft releases.

In addition I have also added the the ability to play certain games online courtesy of the wonderful CPC-Alive Java based Amstrad emulator (Robocop, Batman, Barbarian to name a few) and support for your own recorded YouTube videos of various games in action on a real Amstrad CPC. These are relatively new features and obviously don`t yet support a large number of games, but we will be expanding this in the future. If you want more information on submitting your own YouTube game videos to the website please view our Gamebase forums.

Oh and did I mention you can now subscribe to the reviews and cover RSS feed? simply click the little RSS icon on the cover or review page via the menu at the top of your screen.

This is to avoid as much duplicate content as we can and to save server space here at CPC Zone. You can access all of these scans via the cover archives OR search for the game you`re interested in via the search engine at the top right of your screen.
