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.
Lode Runner, Amstrad CPC
Lode Runner on the Amstrad CPC is a strange one: it’s like a monochromatic version of the Atari ST version.
Grange Hill, Amstrad CPC
The terribleness of Grange Hill – the video game – is sealed in history with the dire Amstrad CPC version.
Driller, Amstrad CPC
Driller was the very first Freescape game. A very important game for its time. It first came out in 1987.
It was one of the first ever games that allowed you to explore a full 3D environment, and Freescape was the engine that made it possible.
Head Over Heels, Amstrad CPC
The best-looking of all the 8-bit versions of Head Over Heels, in my humble opinion.
