A Happy New Year to all CPC fans! I hope you all had a merry Christmas as well.

Devilmarkus released a nice Christmas present on the CPCWiki forums – a modified version of Palace Software’s classic one-on-one sword fighting game Barbarian. It’s been renamed Death Sword (which is also the name of the game in the USA), and it features improved backgrounds and graphics, courtesy of MacDeath and TotO. The backgrounds also change on each level to add a bit of variety; in the original game, you could select a background to use, but once it was loaded into memory, it couldn’t be changed without reloading the game. However, Death Sword requires 128KB of memory in order to store all of the backgrounds in memory.

Devilmarkus has created a website where you can download the game. A manual is also available in PDF format, and if you’re able to transfer the game to a 3″ disc, you can also download an inlay and a disc label.

Crackers Velus have also released a new game called Kubmic. It’s a conversion of a Flash game which involves sliding coloured tiles on a 5×5 grid to recreate a pattern. You can download it from NVG.

Finally, César Nicolás González (aka CNGSoft) has released the tenth version of BB4CPC with several improvements to the gameplay. More details are available at the BB4CPC website. (To download the game from this site, click on the large “Bubble Bobble 4 CPC” logo at the top of the page.)
