[AMSTRAD GX4000] Pang – Longplay & Review

Longplay and review for “Pang” (aka “Buster Bros” / “Pomping World”) on the Amstrad GX4000 & 464/6218 Plus computers!

This month (September 2020) we’re celebrating 30 years of Amstrad’s GX4000 console! (And of course the 464 Plus & 6128 Plus computers!)

And what better way to celebrate than by taking a look at what is regarded as the BEST game on the GX4000!

Pang is a simply wonderful conversion of the arcade coin-op, and is a game anyone of any age or skill can pick up, play and have fun with – including as 2 players! It’s also a GX4000 game that actually utilises it’s new features well. I’ve also conducted an interview with the actual coder of this game – Stuart Middleton – who has provided me with some fascinating insights into the making of this game! ENJOY!

Full interview with Stuart Middleton can be found on this AMSTREAM video, at the 1 hour mark – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hor5fNiOGY8
