Nicholas Campbell has converted Jonathan Cauldwell's platform game, Area 51, from the ZX Spectrum to the Amstrad CPC. This is the second Spectrum game that Nicholas has converted to the CPC.
Area 51 was originally an entry in the 2004 Minigame competition and came 4th out of a total of 42 entries in the 4K category. It is inspired by Manic Miner. You control an alien called Fizzog, who has crashed his Vespa CosmoScooter on Earth. You must collect all the pieces of the scooter on each of the seven levels, while avoiding the spikes and various monsters. Full source code is included with the game.
