Ishido

Code, Music : Targhan
Gfx : Slyder (Hard'Os)

Release date : April 2005. Platform : Any CPC with 128kb. In-game English and French Notice.

This is a puzzle game based on the famous 'Ishido' oriental game. Quite simple to understand, very addictive, very hard to master. Manuals in both English and French are included, don't be afraid ! This game was first conceived as a part of the DemoIzArt. When we decided to remove its menu, releasing this game as a stand alone was a quite obvious choice. Have fun !

New ! Ix from the excellent website Amstrad Today has made a beautiful cover to stick on your 3' disc, and create a nice packaging to the game. Fans of the game will be delighted, it will look like an original back in 1990. AIn't it great ?

Madball

Code, Gfx, Music : Targhan

Release date : 1991. Platform : CPC Old, 64k. Compatible CPC+, Emulators

Well, this is a game made by Targhan in the early times ... All is in BASIC, but this reflexion game is well done ! You'll have to complete nasty boards, and if you've managed to finish the game, you can make your own boards to challenge your friends ! It was made especially for a papermag called CPC-Info. Sadly, they told me the disc crashed and thus couldn't publish the game... Years later, I discovered that it wasn't true, they printed it and didn't tell me not to pay me ! Bastards... oh well, it remains a cool game :).

Banana Joe and the Devilish Time Machine

Code, Gfx, Music : Targhan

Release date : 1991. Platform : CPC Old, 64k. Compatible CPC+, Emulators

Even before Madball was... Banana Joe ! A game I (Targhan) did when I was about 12, 100% Basic of course, but still using a very original technic to use some kind of sprites under Basic. Help Banana Joe to return home after he was hit by a lightning that teleported him at the beginning of the century ! What a great adventure !
