Match Day:

'''CPC Loader''' is not an emulator exactly. '''CPCGamesCD''' is the main objective of CPC Loader: a CDRom containing a navigable database with all the games of the Amstrad/Schneider CPC, similar to MameUI, including screenshots of the games and information about publisher, year and type of game (sports, action). 

 But '''CPC Loader''' is not only a frontend. It includes tools for extracting and creating dsk images and creating new games collections. WinApe and the internal emulators (Caprice32 and Arnold) support the autotype feature: if you want to play a game just select it in the Explore window and it will run automatically. This removes the need to type ''Run "gamename.dsk'' etc. 

 '''CPC Loader''' is developed by TroelsK and '''CPCGamesCD''' and its screenshots are compiled by MiguelSky.

 Last '''CPCGamesCD''' update: 14/12/2007: Frontend CPC Loader 2 Beta by TroelsK NVG games update 06/11/2007 Snap-Pack with ALL the captures (3.491) New version of CPCE (1.85) and WinApe (2.0a15) emulators Improved categorization Included Apps (utils/cpc) and Cartridge folders of NVG

Harrier Attack

Match Day: Re-write

[[Category:Games]]

'''Harrier Attack''' was a computer game distributed by [[Amsoft]] for the Amstrad CPC-Homecomputer-Series of the 1980's. The game was also ported and distributed by other software companies for systems such as the Commodore 64.

The concept of the game was to fly a British Harrier Jet through a series of bombing missions, with the starting position being from a carrier ship out at sea and ending after completing a number of land attacks, which entailed the player attacking enemy buildings and aircraft.

There are five difficulty levels within the game and a [[joystick]] or keyboard can be used for controls.

I became interested in the CPC when I got a 464 at the age of...ooh about 12. I spent many many happy hours locked in my bedroomplaying some of the greatest games. I also later bought an Amiga, but things were not the same. I am a big fan of the Sega Megadrive too. I have recently become an avid fan of emulators and spend a lot of time playing those old Amstrad games I loved as a kid. Things are certainly different looking back at those games, but they are still quite playable and I love the feelings of nostalgia.
