Harrier Attack on Amstrad CPC 464 vintage home computer

http://www.retrogamingcollector.com ----------------

Gameplay from Harrier Attack playing on the Amstrad CPC 464 8 bit vintage home computer. Retro gaming.


This is not a review, walkthrough, playthrough, or demonstration of my playing ability.
It's more a case of me speaking my thoughts while playing the games, many for the first time, and most for the first time in a very long time... so it's all a little spontaneous and random.
Predictably, as I never practice before recording, I usually play very badly.

Given that I am playing many of these games for the first time, and everything I say is completely off the cuff, you probably shouldn't take what I say overly seriously. The opinions that I express are my feelings at the time, but it's entirely possible that they would be different if I were to take the time to get to grips with the game.

However, given that these videos are intended to show that "first time experience", I believe they have some validity or merit.

I remember playing this game in the late 80s on our CPC 464 (with colour screen). I believe it came bundled with ours when we bought it. Thanks for reminding me of this :)

P.S where is the best place to acquire an old CPC 464 in the UK? I have only really seen ebay and most seems overpriced

[SteveBenway]

@DJMrRayner I really don't know where good places are to buy retro gear other than ebay. It seems to me that shops at the very least charge the same as the "Buy It Now" prices on ebay, and those are usually ridiculously inflated. Ebay tends to be very reasonable if you just use auctions.

[DJMrRayner]

@SteveBenway Thanks for your advice man. Much appreciated! The other thing I have a problem with is obtaining a Neo Geo Console whether it is CD based or AES. What is your take on Consolised MVS/SuperGun machines if you have seen them?

[SteveBenway]

@DJMrRayner A good one is probably worth the money, as the software for them is considerably cheaper than for the AES and faster loading than the CD versions. I imagine it's possible that some DIY jobs of this kind could be entirely bodged, so the reputation of the person who has done the conversion matters. I don't follow such things though, so unfortunately can't recommend a good source of such systems.

3:17 The Argentinian's had a fleet that returned to port after our submarine sank their aged battleship General Belgrano. So it looks like you saved our submarine the bother!

[SteveBenway]

@MarkTheMorose lol... I'm a hero :D

1st game a think i ever played! superb!

[DJMrRayner]

@SteveBenway P.S after watching your hardware review it was the Acorn Archimedes A3010 (unless they made a similar shaped machine). This would have been around 1996 when I started secondary school

Ahhh, that classic 'hit an enemy craft' noise.

The Amstrads were branded Schneider in Germany. In the rest of the world Amstrad
