The Amstrad CPC was a home computer popular in Europe and that came out about the same time as the Commodore 64. You can find out more about the Amstrad CPC at Wikipedia.

Note that you have to always press the reset button located under each game when changing or leaving a page to avoid sound issues.

You can also download a portable version of the Amstrad CPC emulator from the same developer. It can be downloaded here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/javacpc.

There is a cool online version of XiangQi; no plug-ins required, only a JavaScript enabled browser. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be searching for portable versions available for download as well.

Until then, if you want to learn how to play, you can check out Wikipedia and An Introduction to Xiangqi for Chess Players.

You have various timed challenges to perform (some of which are a little ridiculous) and trivia to answer along the way.

What’s really impressive about this game is the graphics. Here is a screenshot and you can check the game out for yourself at: http://www.gettheglass.com/.
