If you've downloaded this disc before (thank you!), please download it again for a better experience.

In 2024, I updated the disc as follows:

• BAS Invaders was added to the disc.
• Anaglyph Aliens was added to the disc.
• The speed and presentation of Paclone was improved.
• Some of the programs published as listings included machine code in BASIC DATA statements. I saved this instead as BIN files to save space on the disc and make room for new games.
• The 464 Fill routine was removed from the disc and added to the tutorial on converting CPC 6128 programs to CPC 464.
• The password demo and anti-Multiface program were removed from the disc, but added to the protecting programs tutorial for you to copy and paste into an emulator.
• Small presentation tweaks across some other programs.

In 2020, I updated the disc as follows:

• Improvements to difficulty and playability of The Further Adventures of Fred
• Improvements to key choices in games including Alien Intervention, Paclone and Misfit
• Fixed bug in Misfit that stopped you moving at one point when the tune was playing
• Added more prominent instructions to many of the programs, including 3D Mapper, Sprite Definer, Gribbet, Envelope Definer, Piano Chords Tutor
• General improvements in presentation and labelling
• New program, Hexdump for viewing Amstrad memory locations

To free up space on the disc, I removed the file 0.BAS that previously enabled you to run the disc using RUN"0", which was very easy to type on a real Amstrad keyboard using the Ctrl+Enter shortcut for RUN". This shortcut is less relevant now that most people are using emulators rather than a real CPC.
