It's amazing the range in quality of the graphics between the early and later games, given that it was basically just one machine spec.

And in contrast, the complete lack of variety in gameplay (not that things are any better these days).

Nice selection of games. I had a CPC464 in the 1980s with a colour TV modulator...thank god I had this because the colour monitor made everything look disgusting! Blocky, chunky puke inducing coloured graphics that were hugely embarrassing and horrible. However on my 14" Panasonic colour TV via the modulator, everything was smooth edged, not blobby or chunky with attractive blended colours and were possibly the best 8 bit graphics going, but only on a TV.

I adored owning my CPC464!

cmon list of the games please!!!!

[macdeath69]

er...what is the music used here please ?

[ukmarkh]

Just something I put together...

[ukmarkh]

Warhawk from memory...

[Adropacrich2]

The Amstrad was certainly not as bad as some people like to make out

I love the warmth of atmosphere from Amstrad colours

It's no C64 regards to how it could move arcade style sprites etc but it was perfectly nice enough to own

[macdeath69]

You should add the names of the games plz.

[Saga000]

I enjoyed all of your Amstrad CPC videos, particularly the Fighting and Racing ones because the soundtrack was very fitting to the theme.

The music for this one, however, is very generic... I'd suggest something like the Top Gun theme or something similar that clearly reminds of us of both the eighties as well as air shooting.

[macdeath69]

Please add a comment with names of the games...

[ash81b4u]

One of my fave videos, brings back some great memories, class.

[jesusarnold]

You really need a list of games used, 01.19, 1.30, 1.49, 5.41, 8.49, names please :)

For justice, call forth action games.

For great justice, call forth shmups. :D

Very awesome video. I'm now interested in trying some CPC games. Where can I play these games?

[mummyfunster]

Brings a few memories of adolescent nights staying up and playing for hours....... thanks

[ukmarkh]

Either Harrier Attack or Operation Hormuz... Oh and the last game was Commando Tracer.

[khisanth75]

what was the harrier game near the end and the very last game?

[viceman71]

Can I share it?It's so cool!

[MrHoppyX]
