[@sebastioncalhoun5291]

Westwurtzly, I Thought Oscar's Oasis is for The Amstrad CPC in USA in North America.

[@vanderqaz1]

memories come flooding back, games I played as a kid I'd totally forgotten about

[@bluetonic78]

Nice collection - I had an Amstrad CPC 6128 between 1985-1991 and had many of the featured games.

[@carolafelicio87]

Here in Brazil in the 80's this wonderful computer did not was a available for sale sold (nor I knew anything about the !! CPC) at that time I wore a Brazilian clone of the ZX Spectrum (TK95) and it was phenomenal !! But today, knowing something about the CPC, I wonder how it would have been wonderful if I could have had such a machine at that time !!

[@Lean428]

Un grand merci pour ce voyage dans le passé, que de souvenirs, snif.

[@LoveCameras]

I Never Forgot that. I am Very Love and remember CPC464, CPC664, CPC6128. I buy Amstrad CPC464 at 1985 Nov!!!!! 24YRS!!!!!! since. I use Emulator Amstrad on PC now. Much thank you video youtube. I am very happy.

[@alpharoid3358]

Nice little video! Playing music over the game sounds seemed adequate for the purpose this time. Nice selection too, good pace despite the Amstrad's love for slowdown. ;)

[@KonradMachotka]

good choice set of old games

[@respergu13]

Good old days!

[@rire-et-chanson]

such awsome memories !! i've played almost all of them ! thank you ... that's remind me that , in france , we could download amstrad cpc video games with a device named minitel linked to the phone line and the joystick port of the CPC .... in 1988 !!! no kidding ... the steam grandfather ...

[@DookieCakes]

Nice vid man. I never had an Amstrad, but I still recognize quite a few of these games.

[@EgoShredder]

@trocoloco Good point that Star Sabre is amazing! Also the new Bubble Bobble remake is superb!

[@PauloSilva111]

missing game over, phantis, aspar, perico delgado, tuareg, etc.

[@lloydy187]

sweet sweet nostalgia!!

[@belenos00]

Amazing! what a great computer it was

[@tazong]

the game at 2.42 is the excellent exolon made by hewson i think - pretty sure its a raffele gecco game or some thing like that. Propbably one of the best amstrad games ever made.

[@plarkmoby]

Exolon!!! Now there's an old fav'... I'll have to get the emulator for the pc again and download it.

[@RetroSanctuary]

Sorry for the long wait guys, there's now a link to a list of all the games, just click the "more info" button and scroll down.

[@sonick808]

this is an outstanding video, thank you for putting this together!

[@bighands69]

It would have been nice to have all of the names of the games up on the video but that would be a bit unrealistic.

[@jaymorpheus11]

music is upbeat yet really... the original game sounds or nothing, please.

[@MetalSonicodraco7342]

Is one of the times that the music used was not good...

[@jaymorpheus11]

+MetalSonicodraco7342 Thumbs down either way.

[@sebastioncalhoun5291]

jaymorpheus11, What's The Issue?

[@sebastioncalhoun5291]

MSd Radiant Alpinia, What's The Issue?

[@cpc4eva]

just awesome :0)..... adagio for strings and everybodys free compliment the vid beautifully

[@pelvist]

@Crossover521 That is Operation Wolf.

[@MrDhartz]

@MrChristion03 It's Rick Dangerous, one of my favorite games from back in the days. :)

[@PrinceBishop3]

Amstrad forever!

[@claudismad]

thank for the video!! although i'm spectrum user, i like how were cpc games and there aren't many video of this platform

[@EgoShredder]

@TheCarambah I agree it is not a common activity, otherwise the prices on Ebay would reflect this, i.e. much lower!

[@EgoShredder]

@TheCarambah Yes I hate fanboys and some of the worst I have come across are Amiga and C64 owners. The Spectrum, Atari and CPC crowd are much more friendly and open minded. I would say that personally I was thrilled to be part of the 70s / 80s era of computing, which sums up how I feel about then and now. I just wish modern day programmers would use the power available more efficiently, like they HAD to back in the 80s. Good to talk with you by the way :-)

[@TrondEggan]

My favourite was Head over Heals.

[@xartemporas]

i am happy that i can still play these wonderful games...... Can anyone please tell me what is the name of the game that appears at 1:52 til 2:02??? I am looking for it for a long time now..

[@AFermata]

Does anyone know the name of the game at 9:23? It looks a lot like Crafton & Xunk, which is one of my favorites (and is at 5:25). Thanks for posting this.

[@LogicSmash]

LOL. I haveOperation Wolf, The Return of the Jedi, Rambo ones and Kung Fu! Memories.

[@plarkmoby]

What game was 4:48! What a flash back.

[@ihornak]

great music :) retro :D

[@joseirimia]

@lilalurl That's the one. Thanks!

[@marsiozo]

wow man... it looks so good all....over here in the Netherlands everybody just used to own a C64, I knew one guy with a spectrum, one with an msx but nobody in my circle of friends used to own an Amstrad... the graphics seem real colourfull and rich...but onscreen movement sometimes sluggish..or it that the emulator???

[@fredddd6509]

wow these games graphics were fair compared to today's games but at least as much fun to play! Thanks for the vid that reminded me so many great moment! By the way, does anybody know what's the name of the game at 0:54 ? Thnx

[@kinmanyuen]

wow... nice lookin games

[@NEOGRAFIIX]

Super sympa!!!!

[@marsattaque5]

[@colin1974cw]

What is the game timed at 03:50 ? Looks familar

[@ha_nastasia]

What are the names of the games to 1:46, 2:16 and 4:47 ? Please ^ ^

[@trocoloco]

@trocoloco Hey The CPC scene is small compared with C64 but hey, C64 got owned with the BF just because it is in recent years when people is starting to learn how to squeeze CPC's real capabilities, don't get too upset about it m8, and check out the new CPC stuff like Star Sabre or the Amstrad Sub Hunter version... u will get a surprise and see how jerky they play =)

[@trocoloco]

@TheCarambah yeah! feel Batman Forever demo and it's great animations on C64 too. ah no! its not for C64, my bad...

[@jockp71]

[@barryphillips4771]

Micha Kowo Exolon

[@xDoubleZer00x]

this is what halo and modern warfare will look like in 20 years time, scarey thought huh?

[@trocoloco]

@TheCarambah Actually I do have and use the CPC, C64 and Amiga 600 still, and I rather use real hardware as starting point to know what I'm talking about rather than just watching youtube videos or emulators Obviously there are better games for C64 like Myth which I love it, but hey It doesn't matter if those games "don't impress you", they still better on Amstrad. But hey if you feel happy saying that C64 is the shit , all right then good on ya

[@Leonte01]

APB (All points Bulletin)

[@Velktron]

The 5 that didn't like it must be jealous C64 and Spectrum users ;-)

[@rire-et-chanson]

rainbow island

[@dfendr93]

@TheCarambah Lol. Yeah, I like your version much better. :D

[@Velktron]

Excellent video, it's like making sex with my eye for 10 minutes....nice BGM too :-) I had a CPC 464 and several 6128, and had no idea there were so many games that looked and played this good (Green GT64/65 monitor and dreadful Spectrum ports didn't help ;-). Many look and play well beyond C64 or even NES quality. A pity that well-programmed games with smooth mode 0 scrolling, good animation etc. were few and far between...

[@sandman2PCGAME]

so many arcade action games... Japanese 8-16bit PCs(MSX,FM7,X1,PC88,PC98...) not do well like this.

[@Sam41rock59]

I think it's Arkanoid

[@SHINOBHS]

some seconds of each game cannot show the jerky scrolling and sound of this machine. C64 rules

[@pelvist]

Target renegade was always my favorite game on the Amstrad CPC. Some of the games listed here I had no iddea even came out on Amstrad and I was especially surprised to see Shadow Dancer on there.

[@MetalSonicodraco7342]

Not a bad port for me too

[@pepebest666]

El kung fu era interminable... Creo que tenías que pasar 3 veces a todos.

[@mrnukem]

Only thing that would have made this better, more useful would be the name of each game right before it plays or overlayed text. Still worth the upvote

[@MetalSonicodraco7342]

Mr Nukem Yes, I want to make this video with that.

[@SirAser.F__k.you.Google]

I wish you would have used the original music from the games instead if this .."mildly misplaced music"! ..and wrote the names of each games underneath it Besides that, its a heartworming glimpse of the past

[@sebastioncalhoun5291]

You Know, Sir Aser. (1:21) The Line "If You Keep Messin'" was laughing my ass off.

[@ratuslupusskullbones2969]

émotionnel with little cube what à fuck

[@97channel]

I knew nothing about this system until recently, and only know very little about it now. As a C64 fan this is not an easy thing to admit, but I have to say that this system looks incredible and seems to outperform the C64 in many areas. I've seen a few pics of the unit and it's a very nice looking machine. I see a few commenters here saying that the sound chip was its achilles' heel. But the graphics are stunning, tons better than even the NES. I can appreciate why those who owned one loved it.

[@EgoShredder]

A fanboy is an idiot who argues blindly against all other reasonable arguments. An enthusiast however is someone who has a sincere & genuine love of something that holds wonder or achievement etc, & is happy to devote time and money into sharing this passion with others. I am in the latter category! I was a kid of the 70s and 80s & the first home computer owning generation. I returned to this via emulation in the late 90s, which was a total surprise to me. Emulation was great but hollow.

[@EgoShredder]

@TheCarambah There is nothing strange, weird or fanboyish about owning and using the computers from the past, and I do not seek approval. I mean people still drive old classic cars for pleasure and they are just regular people. Emulators cannot emulate the ENTIRE experience, and while using a PC you cannot escape the fact you are using a PC and that spoils it for me. One day emulation is all we will have, so best enjoy what we still have while it is still around.

[@EgoShredder]

@TheCarambah I owned a CPC464 & ZX Spectrum 48K in the 1980s, plus had weekly use of a friend's C64. We both acknowledged our micros had strengths & weaknesses, plus some games had better versions or genres on each machine. For example he was gutted when got Gryzor & Match Day II but then Wizball and Uridium were better on his. The audio was great on both actually if you appreciate the differences. Both superb computers that deserve credit & accolades in both directions! I own a C64 as well

[@GIALLIMAN2]

Thanks a lot to share this video,it gave me many emotions,feelings,i enjoyed so much playing with this computer in the 80's,some of the games reminds me great moments of my childhood and as a teenager,i began crying but it's marvellous people like you,keeping old computers,old video games (the most funny ever,not the same sensations now with the videogames of 2011 !) THANKS SO MUCH JESUSARNOLD :)))))

[@dvamateur]

Nice! Sinclair and Amstrad are not well known in the US, I think. The C64 and Atari were more popular on the other side of the Atlantic pond. Never got my hands on an Amstrad, but I remember how popular it was in, say, Germany. I was in Poland at the time, and Atari was more popular. I see I missed out a lot on not having had a chance on playing with the CPC.

[@SimsMoyal]

hey - do you know a game where you play a ship and you have go to all kinds of diffrent maps getting out of the ship and run to get bullets to fire at a barrier on the main map so you will be able to get the 3 stones in the bottom ????

[@RogerHerhard]

great video. having got the amstrad for christmas as a young kid in its early days and trading for an amiga when that first came out i hadnt realised what fantastic games were released on the cpc

[@tazong]

@remimaze thats by the same bloke raffele gecco - the games called stormlord - pretty game but rockhard to play

[@BmsNcp]

reply to "Аким Гришин" & "Sam41rock59" Not "Arkanoid"... a game called "Krakout"

[@BatManSWG]

A very nice home computer especially the plus series.But unfortunally many games didnt use the power of this 8-bit machine cause 70 % of them was just conversations from Spectrum.Old companies did that to many home computers to save some money since all of this wasnt compatible to each other. And with non-compatibility unfortunally microsoft exploited and PC's take the uper hand year by year.

[@trocoloco]

@TheCarambah Well CPCs unlike C64 is not a "game console with a keyboard", remember no custom chips for hardware sprites, nor hard scroll. Many games where lazy programmed and straight spectrum ports. But it's hilarous when you say "I've seen cross platform game-comparisons, and I have yet to see the Amstrad win even one", i'll give you examples of far superior games on CPC: Double Dragon 2, Arkanoid 2, Chase HQ, Golden Axe, P-47 Thunderbolt, Batman the movie, Prohibition or what have you..

[@dfendr93]

You could have said: “Thank god I had an Amstrad CPC464. It was the best of the whole bunch, albeit the most expensive. I know, as my dad worked on one of these beasts, programming for a living. They were the most versatile and advanced micros at the time. I still have all the mags, books, printers, packaging and everything. I remember what a special occasion it was to play the games. We had to ask Dad to load them as we weren’t allowed to touch his work gear. It was too special and sacred. :)”

[@TheCommodore64Player]

Amstrad CPC was sure better than the Spectrum 48 and if it would not have inferior soundchip to the Commodore 64 they would be almost equally good...

[@jawbraeka]

If someone remembers a game called ONE please could you do a review on it and also please explain the plot as I remember the game well it's just I have no idea what the game is about or what the objective is at all .... If your not sure it's about a boy and his father who chases after him all the time and I think you have to collect items it something.

[@darrenwilson99]

There's no need for the fanboy comments in relation to 8-bit gaming. I had an Amstrad, some friends had Spectrums while one friend had a c64. We got excited about playing new games on each others computers as we did our own. It was a unique time for home computing and gaming.

[@UTDalski]

I have CPC464 with DM Printer, joystick. Wish I had never let my games & manual to that girl who came into the computer store I was working in a 10 years ago... never got them back! Nice video...loved Barbarian, Gauntlet, Price of Persia and Spy Vs Spy as a kid...

[@TheLemminkainen]

games looked better in CPC than C64. But it seems they were more playable at c64 more fps and no lag. Both computers rocked!

[@trocoloco]

@TheCarambah Yeah it's really weird to use software on the machine that was made for if you got one... So got anything more to get off your chest? I can't be asked talking to a wall no longer

[@marzli]

wow. cpc was good back then. but a big lol @ the Silkworm conversion for cpc. looks funny :) thanks for the memories. 5*
