Amstrad CPC Fighting

[Scopie33]

Double dragon & final fight graphics look surprisingly faithful for an 8-bit system.

[SPEAKTRUTHALWAYS]

you really need to name all the games on here, some of them look really good and I had no idea they were ever on the CPC

GREAT!

[TruckerGarth]

target renegade... me n my mate used to spend hours playin that game :)

[ErikBauer]

Cool vid!

What was the game at 1:40? Looks incredibly cool for an 8Bit game!

[SPEAKTRUTHALWAYS]

@ErikBauer I agree, I had LITERALLY over 1200 CPC games, and I have never heard or seen that game.

[DyLucke]

@SPEAKTRUTHALWAYS They`re probably a fake, like the SF2 version video that runs around youtube. Too big sprites for a single Z80 cpu, too much memory involved, that can't fit the 128K, and of course, the fact CPC can't manage sprites itself, that means more difficult programming.

1:02 thanks you .......

[Laoch111]

Great video. The Amstrad CPC games were very colourful.

[sikhman100]

@Laoch111 yes we bought a colour monitor for £349 in March1985! I was 10! Paris Hilton was 4!....anyway strewth bruce it seems to me £349 back than must have been like £1000 right now?! my cousin was a pov, (poverty deprived) so he only got a green monitor for exactly £101 less! The machine was so fucking unreliable. in was fine in 94-85-early 86 when i couldnt fucking afford the £9.99 games. As soon as they started being re released for £1.99 and codemasters came along the machine packed up!

[markyboy4466]

whats the game at 2:47 i played solid it for approximately 4 years lol, and cant remember the name of it for the life of me

The Way Of The Exploding Fist...

[markyboy4466]

thats the one, with the bloke breaking the wood on the front cover, cheers mate

[TheBoozeFairy]

@markyboy4466 opps no it was not way of the exploding fist it was either International Karate or Internatiaonal Karate Plusprobably the first

[drtune]

I wrote three of those games (Shinobi, Double Dragon 1 + 2) thanks for the fond memories. ;-)

[thebunnyshed]

Are you serious? That's cool! The scrolling on Shinobi always impressed me as CPC scrolling was usually crap.

[drtune]

Thanks! Optimising the scrolling was a couple of late nights and lots of coffee... nearly 20 years ago now! ;-)

[ukmarkh]

You basically proved yet again that the CPC could do a half decent conversion with good scrolling... Shinobi on the CPC was recently voted best 8-bit version on Retro Gamer Forums. It's a very addictive game, although I remember the main sprite looked and walked like he'd spent a stint in prison. Both the Double Dragon games you did were really cool, shame you didn't stick around longer.

[TheGameroomBlitz]

A nicely done retrospective, friend. Thanks for sharing it with the rest of the YouTube community. I never had an Amstrad but this gives me a pretty good feel for its strengths and shortcomings.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Fantastic montage dude! :D 5/5

[tigershumon]

I used to have a CPC 464 and i must say, it was the daddy of the time. Target Renegade, Shinobi, Renegade, Bruce Lee, IK+ and many games to list. It is the heretage of what we have now. It was a bad ass games PC.

[vacantstare]

What's the game at 1:38 with the nun fighting the skeleton? Looks rather impressive!

[81runFROMwhat]

this video has made me miss my 464 so much. God there were some great fighting games. Renegade was awesome. And who could forget kung fu master!?

[whatthewii]

I love these kind of vids. As a c64 owner, I remember looking at screenshots of the amstrad version of Renegade and getting jealous over how good it looked. It still looks good today!

That kickboxing game looks pretty awesome too.

[drtune]

ha that's awesome! Nostalgia-tastic. Thx!

[thxgreg]

génial !!!

[ukmarkh]

If I get time... lol

[cpc4eva]

lol....and in the mean time...... everyone was cpc kung fu fighting, there was funky sugarman with 2 cpc keybaords using them like a pair of nun chuckas on the c64s and speccys, he was fast as lightning it was quite frightening.... wooo hooo hoooo keeep on keeep on keeep on ..... :0)
