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!!!

It's been two years since we published our first remake, the excellent and succesful Sir Fred - The Remake, which, by the way, is about to reach the 70.000 download mark (maybe at the moment you are reading this!)
While we are waiting for some other future games, like Capitan Sevilla, Zikitrake, with Kendroock in the graphics, and DavidCM and Punisher helping with the sound and music, has written a remake of a little game published in the tapes from Sinclair User back in the 80s.
We are talking about Go! Bear, a Pengo-like game, which you will give you a great and funny time. Coming soon in both PC & GP2X versions!

Several months ago, one of the CEZ community members, nicknamed Trauma, started the development of a remake of the 8 bits game "Soldier of Fortune". He is doing it publicly, in a  forum thread, where several members are helping him out with the graphics.

If you ever wondered how to do a remake, and you want to see it step by step, don't doubt it and take a look to the forum thread.

After the success of the Spectrum version coded by Benway, and after a prudential time to have it perfectly finished for the MSX Dev'07, we've released the MSX version of BeTiled!, coded by Utopian with graphics made by Kendroock.
Our third MSX game has SCC sound and the posibility of playing the game in a MSX 2 taking advantage of the superior graphic quality.
You can comment us your opinions here (even if you are not registered).

This time we have a new interview, but not a usual one!! We managed to talk to Juan Delcán, known in the world of computers for being the graphist of La abadía del crimen, to many people the best spanish 8 bit game ever.

A very interesting interview conducted by Zemman, and that is now available to read here!

Actually is only available in spanish, but it will be translated soon.

We hope you like it!

BeTiled! is the last CEZ GS production for the Silver label.

In this frantic game, a Bejeweled clon, you'll need to squeeze your intelligence in order to make the neccesary lines to continue to the next level.

With graphics made by Kendroock and Anjuel, and music by Wyz, BeTiled! is the first game coded by Benway for the ZX Spectrum. He used C language with assembler routines made by himself.

And it's not all, because you'll have more news about this game soon.

We show you today the first interview we made to a non spanish programmer (and probably the last one). Thanks to Guardian Misterioso and Zemman, you will be able to enjoy Jon's words, whom most of you remember for masterpieces like Head Over Heels, Batman or the two parts of Match Day.

Some days ago, MASoftware showed us in the forums the finished version of its Spirits Remake.

So far we have two completed remakes in the compo. An excellent job in every aspect, as usual when these people of MASoftware do their best.

You can download the remake in the forums.

It was long ago since we last informed you about what was going on in our retro remakes competition, so those of you that haven't followed the news neither in the forums nor in the retrocompo site won't probably know that some of the projects are already finished and that we have had more entries since the last time we talked about the compo.

So the best thing you can do is go right now see those surprises!

Lord Fred, the author of our greatest success, so far, (Sir Fred the Remake ), has been interviewed by Urbatain in SPAC, a fanzine specialised in text adventures (it's in spanish, please use a web translator).
Don't miss it!, It's pretty interesting!

Elyorch presents us in  the forum  a last-stage beta of his first remake, Football Manager from 1982, one of the most interesting games included in the Spectrum release catalogue from Investronica.

Its a real re-built of the game, keeping the same visual aspect of the original, so he is working on it in text mode. If you want to live again those days selling and buying players like Juanito and Santillana, this is your remake!
