Commando - Amstrad CPC

what are the best CPC games that show off its technical abilities ?

Renegade and Yie Ar Kung Fu spring to mind - the CPC Renegade is actually better looking than the arcade, although far easier.

Ikari warriors showed that a game like commando could be done in full colour, with plenty of action - even if Ikari's sprites were 24x 24 pixels in size.

What really nobbled the CPC was the poor sound chip and no sprite/ scrolling hardware. Had Amstrad added that, I think they'd have cleaned up completely.

But you could take a breather, inbetween sections.

music is better on the c64

I agree with you there. And for all the pathetic fanboys out there who give malc1976 2 thumbs down, he's right, the music is far superior on the c64 as it had a sound chip to be rivaled in the day. The Amstrad and Spectrum's sound pailed in comparison and this from someone who owned all 3. Just type into YouTube: Commando c64 if you still think malc is or I are wrong.

thank you NitroTab1 yes the music is way better on the c64 it had a great sound chip and so did the amiga but i bet some people would say the atari st was better than that

cod4 viens de loin ..^^

search "press play on tape commando" and you may get your answer

Thanks a lot !

Quality. I never passed that level either, a very unforgiving game.
