[AMSTRAD CPC+/PLUS] Fluff – Review & Longplay (Part 1 of 2)

Fluff on the Amstrad 464/6128 Plus machines!

Quite a special video this one, as Fluff is landmark release for the Amstrad being one of the very few commercially released games on tape/disk that is purely Plus only, but essentially was a homebrew release made by one very talented coder Rob Buckley, who setup one of the last software companies and publishers for the Amstrad in the mid-90’s called “Radical Software”. Those of you who read “Retro Gamer” magazine will have seen the last issue (83) do a special ‘From The Archives’ feature on Rob and Radical Software, here we look at his standout release “Fluff” in more depth.

Now, in my last video Prehistorik 2 unlocked a lot of the Plus features to great effect, but suffered due to it needing to work on a normal CPC also – here Rob’s able to get pixel smooth scrolling, 50fps framerate, 60 colours on screen and more … but how does the game play? Lets find out as we play Fluff through to completion!
