Released by Sega in 1986, this Amstrad CPC conversion of Spy Hunter drives well enough, but looks a bit dented on the outside. Meaning: the graphics are a bit basic…

Amstrad CPC games.
Tau Ceti, Amstrad CPC
I wrote quite a bit about the original ZX Spectrum version – because it’s so good – but this 1986 Amstrad version of Tau Ceti is possibly even better than the original…
Roland in the Caves, Amstrad CPC
Roland in the Caves is the Amstrad CPC conversion of the classic Bugaboo (The Flea).
Rather than it be a simple ‘rip-off’, Roland in the Caves was actually developed by Indescomp, the original developers of Bugaboo. So it is an ‘official’ conversion and plays pretty much the same as the original.
Knight Lore, Amstrad CPC
The Amstrad CPC version of Ultimate‘s famous Knight Lore is the best-looking version, in my opinion.
La Abadía del Crimen, Amstrad CPC
The Amstrad version was the original version of this classic 1987 release by Opera Soft. The English translation being: “The Abbey of Crime“.
Cybernoid, Amstrad CPC
Chunky visuals and a smaller play window make the Amstrad version of Cybernoid look decided untidy next to the Spectrum original.
Bubble Ghost, Amstrad CPC
I’m a big fan of the game Bubble Ghost and this Amstrad CPC conversion is up there with the best of the 8-bit versions.
Swords and Sorcery, Amstrad CPC
This Amstrad CPC conversion of Swords and Sorcery by PSS is even better than the ZX Spectrum original. The graphics are slightly better, if anything.
Combat Lynx, Amstrad CPC
The Amstrad CPC version of Combat Lynx looks a bit like the BBC version (ie. chunky), but is thankfully more colourful – and more playable.
Super Robin Hood, Amstrad CPC
This Amstrad CPC version of Super Robin Hood is the original release from The Oliver Twins, published by Codemasters in 1985.
