This is the first Amstrad CPC longplay I've recorded, which was more of a test than anything. I've wanted to cover CPC games for a long time now, but none of emulators available included decent in-built video recording and save-state loading that allowed me to build a video I was happy with; CPCEC is the first emulator that provides something close to what I need - it's still a lot of work, but this proves the recording process is viable.
As for the game itself, it's a decent translation of Contra/Gryzor for the CPC. No, it doesn't have any scrolling, and some levels are missing, but it's not a bad game. The best feature, in my opinion, are the graphics; Mark K Jones did an amazing job, made possible in part by the wonderful CPC colour palette!
Oh, and the ending is such a troll as well! Simply amazing!
