Retro Gamer magazine has reviewed Sudoku in their latest issue (number 57), where it achieved a rating of 89%. Congratulations to Kevin Thacker!

ESP Soft have released a text adventure, Nheredia. It was developed by MiguelSky and has been created using the Professional Adventure Writer (PAW) tool. I'm sure that every CPC connoisseur of text adventures has seen an adventure that has been developed with Graphic Adventure Creator or The Quill, but it's not often that one sees a PAW adventure - especially one that includes graphics! The game is available in both English and Spanish versions, and you can download both versions from ESP Soft's web site.

I have also reviewed two games:

• Hideous
• Knight Games

Kevin Thacker's latest game, Sudoku, has now been finished and will hopefully be available from Cronosoft in the near future. In the meantime, you can download the final demo version from Kevin's website.

Balloonacy

Star Sabre

25th August 2008
Cronosoft has released two games for the CPC - Balloonacy and Star Sabre. Many of you will probably be familiar with Star Sabre, as it has been freely available for a while. Both games are now available on cassette for £2.99 each (not including postage), and Balloonacy is available for use on an emulator for only £1.75. Don't forget that Cronosoft's six previous releases for the Amstrad CPC - The Smirking Horror, Yarkon Blues, Yarkon Blues II, Help Inc., Stranded and Iron Sphere - are still available!

As a result of these new releases, I have also reviewed both Balloonacy and Star Sabre.
