Any Amstrad CPC devs on here?
I am using a pc to build, and I want to draw my graphics in a modern tool and export out as binary suitable for mode 0. Google has not been kind and not found any editors for Windows.
Any recommendations?

In the long process of restoring the website by copying it from archive.org, I think we have all the VIC-20 stuff on there now!
Complete with a VIC-20 themed site header on those articles :)

You bunch of #uncontrollable-gang-of-rebel-individuslists, you. Having your own ideas on what to like is crazy. Let the other guys try to tell you what to think!
And my goodness, the reviewers in this special highlight some of the attitudes of the time. Somethings don't change I guess, just evolve.

So no one was able to beat Pumpkid on the Vic 20 this Halloween.
I've seen two people get close but fail near the end. Witch Hazel rides to terrorize kids and pumpkins for another year!

Not wishing to advertise this emporium but I still scratch my head as to how they sell anything. ebay.us/m/4iyFMh
No idea if the other stuff for sale is a fair price, but all the computer stuff is three figures. Who would pay that? Possibly fodder for a sunday @chinnyvision.bsky.social ebay special?
