Modern Amstrad games are really showing the power of the machine. Some great stuff being released. Great to see the updates at the end that show how much more the system could do than bad Spectrum ports.

It was a step up when programmed correctly. Sadly in some cases it was just seen as a quick and dirty extension to sell already existing/written Speccy code.

The footage is funny. Booty looks like me the first time i tried it and had no idea how the game worked 😂 hope you had never tried it before too! Mario Bros was good too, looked like me playing it for the first time as a 7 year old 😂 Great video ❤

Is that a hint of sarcasm I detect 😉 We can't be great at every game. I hope you're not claiming such a thing.

The good thing about Amstrad is that its not drowned under a million MkII games like Speccy

Not today, but once upon a time it was side swiped with Speccy ports.

Great video. The Ghosts'n Goblins update with the armor patch caught my eyes. Looked for it but to no avail. Any pointer?

Spectrum does have a homebrew GTA clone, cant recall the name though.

Amstrad games did not look this good when I owned one in 1984. 😨

That doesn’t sound bad right. What about Sorcery or Fruity Frank 🤷🏻♂️

@@ClassicReplay They were lookers, but some of what's on offer in your video takes the crown. I had the original 464, without the hardware scrolling and sprites. Perhaps, if I had the plus, I wouldn't have gone down the Amiga route.

An updated version of outrun that would be nice. The Batman group are making a racer. Vespertino was it? Demo looked amazing.

@@ClassicReplay just had to Google it, because that thought scared me! Doesn't seem to have a Jimmy on it! I had the version with the big Players logo on it. Give it a try if you want to test your patience. Great title screen music!

Is the cpc the strongest 8-bit computer?
@ClassicReplay5 ай бұрын
No. The MSX 2 Turbo range and Sam Coupe were more powerful. Plus the C128 and Amstrad Plus range were better.

Nothing that impressive, scrolling in the few games that do scroll is jerry at the best.
