HOW TO PLAY
In this video, you will find all needed instructions for how to play the Amstrad games/programs. Below there are detailed instructions.
Instructions for loading a game/program:
In order to run a program,
you need an emulator of Amstrad Cpc, and the dsk file.
An emulator is a software that enables one computer system (eg. a window in your computer) to behave like another computer system (eg. Amstrad CPC).
For example, you can go to http://www.winape.net/downloads.jsp and download Version 2.0b2 (Amstrad CPC emulator), or any other emulator you wish.
After you extract program
using winrar/winzip, go to the extracted folder and double click file Winape.exe.
Amstrad emulator is going to start.
Then, use our google drive link to download the games/programs:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hZcn2TQ0GRmKUW4oY4IGR-eiDlEpcan8
in order to download a zip file that includes the dsk file for the game you wish to play.
Or, from that folder, download the <ALL IN FEW DSK FILES>, to play them all quickly.
In each separate game/program zip file there are is a dsk file, which includes only the selected game, and some more, as screenshots, videos, source code-list, etc.
In the folder <ALL IN FEW DSK FILES> there are few dsk files with all games/programs, and also the game/program manuals, enough for you to play the games.
The dsk file that is included in every zip file is a file with the extension <.dsk> (eg. PENALTY.DSK ), and it has to be loaded in the emulator.
