After RetroMadrid users meeting, we return to work with a new article of the famous Punisher's series: The ugly ducklings of spanish software.

This time, the honour is for Dro Soft.

¿Will you miss it? (Sadly, we don't have translated these articles yet, so, please, use a web translator)

Once again, Computer Emuzone Games Studio is going to be in the RetroMadrid meeting (previously called Madrisx).

You will be able to play our games, see our new projects and buy cassettes and cartridges of our productions...yes! You are reading well, this year, cartridges of our MSX games will be available to purchase. But that's not all, you will find 3,5" disks of our Spectrum +3 and CPC 6128.

As, if you are reading this new in english, probably you live outside Spain, and you will not attend the meeting, don't worry: Here's the great new for you: All these games will be available to buy it online from this site very very soon!!!

While we were preparing the cassettes, disks and cartrigdes for Retromadrid, we detected bugs in 4 of our games : ULA-Snow in Columns for ZX Spectrum, a new  .CDT file with turbo loader and fixing a bug with graphics in CPC version of same game, a minor bug which caused a little problem in BeTiled!, some other bugs in SG4SM, discovered in the forums of Amstrad.ESP, and finallly, a memory bug in Galaxy Fighter wich makes impossible finish the game.

All of them are now corrected, so you can find in the site the games without those mentioned bugs.

If you had any problem with them, it's time to download again the games and play bugfree!

It's time to publish another article in our series "The Ugly Duckings of the spanish software" written by The Punisher.

In this case, we talk about Juliet Software, one of the most known companies treated so far in these articles, and, as you will be able to see, there will be some unexpected surprises... are you going to miss it?

Sadly, we still not have translations for those articles, so, please, use a web translator if you don't speak spanish.

Today is the day a new idea comes to life, the new seal from CEZGS: CEZ Minigames.

It's an old idea we have been thinking to materialise many times in the past, but now it's a reality. Where can publish those little but funny games? These programs are the best choice when we want to spend a little but fun and intense time playing. They didn't take a lot of time to be written, but as you will be able to see, you will like them. In order to make them available, we have created a new forum, so we can publish'em there.

Don't expect a monster program with huge sprites or scrolls, they are just games made for the fun of coding it.

The first one is "Judge Morry vs. Baldo Midget", an entertaining game for Spectrum, for 2 players, written by na_th_an, Anjuel and Kendroock in just one morning, in April (last year, 2007)

Download it and tell us what you think about it... Here!

We publish today a new article in our series "The ugly duckings of the Spanish Software", which is being writen by The Punisher.

Stay tuned, there will be more ducks on your computer soon!

Sadly, It's only in Spanish for the moment, so, please, use a translator if you want to read it
