Gamasutra reports that Electronic Arts has filed for trademarks on several popular old franchises: Populous, Wing Commander, Theme Park, and Road Rash. This, along with comments from Harvey Elliot of EA's Bright Light Studio, have led many to suspect that we may see new titles for those IPs in the near future. Elliot said, "If you remember all the old classics you played, if you go back and play them now, they're not the same. They were right for their time, and the trick with those games is coming up with what's right for the time now. I'm going to look at them at some point; I think there's an opportunity to bring those back in the future, but only if it's right for the time and not just a 'remake' or something. We'd need to do it in a way that's true to the original values, but would still make a great game today."

With the agonising demise of CPC Zone, and no clear sign of a revival, The CPC Wiki is becoming more and more the place to go for Amstrad CPC users. The CPC Wiki is "dedicated to all things related to the Amstrad CPC 8-bit computer series." There are pages on CPC hardware, software, peripherals, games, programming, books, fanzines, magazines, service manuals, emulators, and much more. The CPC Wiki also hosts many Amstrad magazine scans and fanzines including Amstrad Action, Amstrad Computer User, Amtix, Computing With the Amstrad, and CPC Attack! If you're a CPC fan then why not drop by and contribute or just pop into the recently expanded Discussion Forum for some CPC related chatter?

The boss of Electronic Arts' Bright Lights Studio in the UK has said that he would "love" to see classic Bullfrog IP remade for today's systems.
Harvey Elliot, vice president of the studio currently working on the latest Harry Potter game, told Kikizo that titles such as Populous and Theme Park are part of the developer's heritage following EA's acquisition of Bullfrog in 1995.
"For me, I love the old Bullfrog IP, it got me really passionately into games, and I'm really proud that Bullfrog is part of the heritage of Bright Light," said Elliot. "I'm personally a huge fan of Populous and Theme Park, they were some of my favourite games - many years ago, obviously - and I'd love to see both of those remade."
Harvey said that the studio is likely to look at the viability of recreating Bullfrog franchises in the future, but it's important to reassess classic IP realistically rather than through rose-tinted spectacles.
"The thing is, the romance of the idea is often detached from the reality of executing it. If you remember all the old classics you played, if you go back and play them now, they're not the same," he offered. "They were right for their time, and the trick with those games is coming up with what's right for the time now.
"I'm going to look at them at some point, I think there's an opportunity to bring those back in the future, but only if it's right for the time and not just a 'remake' or something. We'd need to do it in a way that's true to the original values, but would still make a great game today."
Other classic Bullfrog IP includes Powermonger and Magic Carpet. A new title in the Syndicate series is also in the works at The Chronicles of Riddick studio Starbreeze.

Some bad decisions in game console design get made over and over. (How many early systems had nightmarish controllers?) Others are uniquely inexpicable. (Like the Game Boy Advance's lack of a headphone jack.) Some stem from companies being too clever for their own good. (Like the way the RCA Studio II and Atari 5200 drew their power through their RF switches.) Benj Edwards has rounded up a few classic examples, and has attempted to figure out what was going on in the designers' heads — and what we can learn from their mistakes

My first translation hack is complete. This game is a pretty good doujin fighting game for the PC-98, with some pretty unconventional characters. The VS mode is pretty fun if you have controllers.
Storyline is based off the first game in the Yugekitiai adventure game series by TKO Soft. I would like to mention that I still need a translator for the first one in the series. Is anyone interested?

Who out there has a Zipit? Great, now out of the five of you, who really wants to run Dos on it? Well, for the one or two of you left reading, now you can. The directions can be found here. [Hunter] has worked out a way to get DosBox running on his Zipit. At 315 mhz his old DOS games, like AD&D shown above, are running quite snappily. You can download everything you need to get up and running from the site. If DOS isn’t your thing, you may want to check out the Linux how to as well.

Binary City is action-puzzle game combining heavily modified engine of original Battle City with tactical puzzles and unconventional tasks.
Basically the game develops Binary Land’s premise of controlling two characters simultaneously. But as every level brings new gameplay twists, the game quickly becomes something really different from what you’d expect.

Hi All,
For those who haven't seen previous version Hu-Go is a famous emulator
of NEC PC Engine console, running on many system such as Linux and Windows.
(see http://www.zeograd.com/ for details)
PSPHugo is a port on PSP of one latest version of Hu-Go.
This version of PSP-Hugo supports IRDA-Joystick box designed by my good friend Buzz
( see http://buzz.computer.free.fr for details).
If you have any electronic skills you may design your own for less than 20$
The Schematic and the PIC source code is provided in contrib folder of PSPHugo archive.
For those who have never heard about IRDA joystick project, the goal was to connect your old
DB9 joystick (compatible with Atari , Amiga, Amstrad etc ...) or a paddle device to your PSP FAT.
Buzz has written the driver and designed the PCB and program the PIC micro-controller
and i was in charge of emulator enhancements.
Finally, what's new in this PSP-Hugo version ?
- IRDA Joystick box support
- Add "IRDA joystick" device support for both
DB9 Joystick and Atari Paddle
- Add menu for IRDA joystick settings and keys mapping
- Add option to choose between IRDA devices
(keyboard such as Targus or joystick using Buzz device)
How to use it ? Everything is in the README.txt file.
Sources are included, and this package is under the GNU public licence v2,
read COPYING.txt file for more information about it.
You may find archives there : http://zx81.zx81.free.fr/
Enjoy,
Zx.

Hi,
In january 2007 i joined the gp2x scene, thanks to David from gp2xstore.com who kindly offered and sent me a gp2x-F100.
It was a really nice experience to develop homebrews for this nice piece of hardware running my favorite operating system
(i mean linux of course).
Without him, i would have never done anything on this console since i was already busy with PSP stuff.
The good news is that i will soon join the Gp2x Wiz scene because David from gp2xstore did it again !
For those who doesn't known anything about gp2x Wiz, let's say that it is one of the most powerful portable console,
two times faster than a PSP with a linux based kernel, dedicated to homebrews and emulators
( see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GP2X_Wiz )
Thanks again,
Zx

Gamasutra has published our history of Robotron: 2084, Eugene Jarvis' ultimate twitch-game of 1982. Robotron's frantic gameplay, intense difficulty, and elegant control scheme made it a hit in the arcade and a favorite of countless retrogamers. The illustrated article compares the game with Jarvis' earlier hit, Defender, describes its gameplay in detail, and traces its roots and impact on later games such as Smash T.V. and Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved. Robotron's gameplay may be intimidating, but never too complex to grasp — with both hands!

Previewed in issue one, Factory Daze from Bob Smith is now complete and free to download. The game which involves controlling a toy factory - in a similar way to LucasArt's Night Shift - as you have to meet your order quota. Back then, we thought that the game looked "promising, and definitely one to look out for when it is released as a free download." Now, it's definitely a must see. You can download the game here, and get a bit of background info on the game at Factory Daze's page at Bob Smith's website.
