17.07.11 LATEST CRONOSOFT is proud to announce the release of two brand new games!
SINCLAIR ZX SPECTRUM 48K - GHOST CASTLE + GHOST CASTLE 2
SE Ghost Castle was one of the most highly praised recent releases by THE BOG BROTHERS, Codename V and Binman, and received a whopping 94% when reviewed in RETRO GAMER magazine... Well... they've now given us a brand new EXCLUSIVE Special Edition of GHOST CASTLE 2, with new stuff and an entirely new map. Both games are available on one tape. ALL ROYALTIES FROM THE GAME GO TO THE DOUGLAS MACMILLAN HOSPICE So... not only are you getting two great games, but giving some cash to a good cause too.
COMMODORE VIC 20 UNEXPANDED - THEATER OF WAR (+ FACE vs HEEL) Coded by Ghislain de Blois in 2010, THEATER OF WAR is a WW2 tactical strategy game where you play the role of a German general on the Eastern Front of Russia. A deeply involving game, from the author of the highly acclaimed REALMS OF QUEST. Shoehorned into an unexpanded VIC, this game is available on cassette exclusively from Cronosoft. As a bonus on the B-Side, there's also FACE VS HEEL - The Pro Wrestling Simulator! Oh... and before any of you trainspotters say anything, the game comes from the other side of the Atlantic, hence the spelling of "Theater" !
Utter Tripe REMIX - Jonathan Cauldwell's latest game - This exclusive and unique cassette version comes with a whopping 43 seperate challenges, many of those not available in the free version, plus a menu choice of games to play next. Get this game only from CRONOSOFT, at a superb value £3.99 :-) To celebrate the classic EGGHEAD series, Cronosoft's first ever game, Jonathan Cauldwell's EGGHEAD IN SPACE has been re-issued, and is now available with brand new packaging. Both games feature some great new artwork from Graz "Tony Hart & Rolf Harris rolled into one" Richards.
Oh... and PLATFORM GAME DESIGNER 2 is imminent...
enough to make your gran's colostomy bag explode with anticipation. Keep up to date with the latest news by joining our new Facebook page.
12.01.11 BIG UPDATE!
New games now available include the reissues
of IRON SPHERE for the Speccy.
Also, new ASTRO NELL and BLUE STAR are making a welcome return for the Unexpanded Vic 20. Also, due to a complete cock-up by myself, I forgot to add HOME BREW SPECIAL EDITION to the Speccy page. Doh! Finally, we have DOMINETRIS released for the ZX81 - please note however, that these are in limited supply at the moment, as I've got to source a ZX81 RAM pack before I can duplicate some more! :) We're working hard to get some of the older games reissued as well as providing some great new games for you in 2011. CRONOSOFT games are now available for Elite software's excellent iPhone/iPod/iPad etc. Speccy emulator ZX-EC app. You can buy them from the Apple iTunes store along with classics by Elite, Software Projects, Vortex software, Gremlin etc. We all love ELITE here at Cronosoft towers .. especially Bomb Jack! :)
GAMES WANTED ! We want to expand our range of games to cover more obscure computers. We especially want to receive games to release for...
SORD/CGL M5, MATTEL AQUARIUS TI99/4A LASER 200 as well of course as the Spectrum, C64, Vic 20, Commodore 16, Oric, Dragon 32, Tandy Color, CPC, ZX81 etc. Send your stuff by email to us, or even better on tape to: Cronosoft, 3 Lentons Lane, Leverton, Boston, Lincs. PE22 0AY, United Kingdom
NEW GAME RELEASE...! Shapestack T1K + Lazyfrog Two great new super-fast machine code 1K games for the unexpanded ZX81, written by Russell Marks, they load in around 20 seconds. Available now from Cronosoft for the super duper price of £3.99
Happy new year and all that.
Here's a new release of a game that's been around for a little while.
Sorry it's taken a while, but it's very nice looking, especially with Graz's
super dooper illustration.
Oh.. JC's been
busy, and a superb new game is on it's way.
WOS fans will no doubt have seen a
few sneaky riddles, and he assures us that he's not taken any drugs either
(except for beer). 14.12.10 - UPDATE TIME Blimey .. didn't quite realise how long it had been since I last put some stuff on here... Anyway - I'm looking forward to some exciting things for 2011, including a big push for new software, now that I'm beginning to sort the dreaded tape duplication problems, of having to manually "SAVE" every game to tape manually, which takes an absolute eternity, as well as utter chaos when a big order comes in. One by one, CD masters are being made, so each game is transferred direct to tape. It's gonna take a while to get all of the games across but once it's done, life will be so much easier.
Firstly, we're excited to announce our first ZX81 releases! 16K ZX81 owners will soon be able to look forward to a conversion of Bob Smith's Spectrum puzzler "Dominetris" (Please don't misread as Dominatrix, which is a leather clad lady with a whip that will cost a lot more than the 3 quid we'll be asking). Also 1K owners will not be left out, courtesy of Russell Marks, with a twin pack of games - Lazy Frog and T1K/Shapestack - two machine code classic games which defy the measly amount of memory required to play them. Have a peek at the Coming soon page... Jonathan Cauldwell + Graz's new game TELLY HEROES is now released for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum - hot off the presses today! (Approx. 3 minutes ago to be precise). Ever wanted to control a TV channel? Think you can do a better job than ITV? (Well.. you couldn't do a much worse one...), then try this one! If you loved games like 'Rockstar Ate My Hamster', with clever management gameplay, humorous caricatures, and some saucy humour to boot, then this one will get you hooked. Amstrad owners will be pleased to see the update and re-availability of SUDOKU. No longer do you have to endure the grotesque ramblings of the Daily Mail in order to get your fix of Sudoku. You can even play much harder versions than those you may be used to, without fear of reading that muslim asylum seeking gypsy paedophiles will eat your babies. Those of you lacking in some serious "Chopper Action", will be able to unleash their tool once again, with the reissue of the acclaimed "Hop 'n' Chop", whose package has been given a new polish by resident art guru Graz. Bob Smith's epic isometric 3D game WHB, coupled with the excellent Dominetris, is now released on cassette for the Spectrum. The long awaited MPThrilla - The Metal Miner, coupled with Redivivus is also now available. REQUEST...! If anyone has any magazine scans or website links to reviews of Cronosoft games, I'd very much like to hear from you, as I'd like to put the details on this website. You can contact me at the button on the left hand side.
As ever... please allow plenty of time for delivery if you're putting in an order, as I'm working 3 jobs at the moment!
New Release - JOE GUNN for the Commodore 64. More games added. 09.11.09 Had a bit of an update of the site today, hope there ain't any bugs. There are some more games added, a few for the Spectrum, and some for the Amstrad CPC. Thanks to everyone who has ordered games so far - At the time of writing, I'm about up to date! Thanks as always to Graz for the super new look inlays.
We're slowly but surely getting there! A few more games now added to the range.... Rob Pearmain's "Bipboi", coupled with Triumph Game Lab's "Nipik 2", and also Jonathan Cauldwell's latest epic "Slubberdegullion". If you're putting in an order, please allow quite a bit of time - especially if you're ordering several games at once. I have 1 full time and 2 part time jobs at the moment, so I don't get a chance to do as much tape duplication and printing as I'd like! Rest assured however, that I haven't forgotten about it... it'll just take a while. Some of you international buyers may wonder why the tapes cost 50p more to go to Europe and £1.00 more to go outside of Europe - well.. to keep it simple, the Paypal checkout calculates the postage for UK sales only, and the extra fee pays for the increased shipping costs for overseas transactions.
Welcome to the relauch of CRONOSOFT - the UK's premier independent software house for classic systems. For those of you that haven't heard of us, we are a non-profit software house releasing brand new games for classic systems such as the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC. The latest news, is that we're welcoming on board our new partner Graham Richards, who you'll remember for designing the superb artwork for many of our games, including amongst others, Gamex, Izzy Wizzy, Blitz 2000, Stranded etc.
It'll take a while to get the range adapted, so please bear with us. There are also new releases to look forward to, including the long awaited Dragon 32 and Tandy Color game "GLOVE". Also, the new cleaner look website should make ordering a bit less confusing! With the changes, the original issues of the older back catalog games are no longer available on individual cassette, though they will be available for individual download with artwork from the PRESERVATION TEAM SHOP in the near future, for use with emulators, or to "copy and print yourself". The website is still under construction, but I'm aiming to get a bit done every week till we're back at full strength. Thanks as always go to the authors of the games, our helpers and supporters, and of course you, our customers for helping to keep the 8-bit's alive. |

NEW RELEASE
Don't forget those groovy new VIC 20 re-issues... more to come soon, including
those Commodore 16/Plus 4 games! 
releases of the stand-alone version of 
- LATEST NOOZE
It's
been a while since the last update, but that's not to say that nothing's being
happening over here in Cronosoft towers...
With
Graham's input, the entire range of games will be relaunched with brand new
uniform packaging, with many of the back catalogue of games being re-issued in
compilation format, so you can stock up on the old classics at a fraction of the
old prices, whilst still supporting the authors of the games as before.
