Too many to mention them all.

I have different groups of games, each group reminding me of a specific era within the CPC era. 

In 8-bit Memoirs I write about the first group of games; the very first games I ever played on the CPC, and describe how I experienced the games at that age - which was often different than what the game-developers had in mind. 

Those were:

"Commando" (1985) - the very first game I ever tried on the CPC (and sucked at it (at age 10))
"Super Sleuth" (1986) - searched long and hard for the "really great gameplay" that grandma told me the seller had told her was supposed to be present in this game
"Zorro" (1985) - surprised to learn new stuff about Zorro, like him jumping on people - didn't seem like his style at all
"Wriggler" (1985) - amazed by the huge vast world in this game
"Caves of Doom" (1985) - played this one A LOT despite its difficulty
"Street Machine" (1986) - didn't much perceive this as a game at all, but rather a simulation - for when you just felt you had to go for a drive to get away from things for a while 
"Don't Panic" (1985) - could never figure this one out, but kept trying many times because I was sure it would be a great arcade game once I figured it out (which would take many years before I did though)
"Winter Games" & "Spindizzy" (1986) - the two most relaxing games from that time, both awesome
"Radzone" (1986) - the game I played the absolute most back then, and therefor still stands as the ultimate representation of those days.
"Daley Thomson's Super Test" (1985) - just what I was looking for on the CPC after having tried the arcade game "Track'n'Field" on the arcade machine.

Other games I experienced back then, but which isn't described in 8-bit Memoirs (though there are videos of them) are:

"Kung-Fu Master" (1986)
"Gauntlet" (1985)
"Le 5eme Axe" (1985)
"Gunfright" (1985)
"Atlantis"  (1985)
"Killer Gorilla" (1985)
"Nuclear Heist"  (1986)
"Batman" (1986)
"Green Beret" (1986)

[ComSoft6128]

Harrier Attack, Kane, Starglider, ATF, Operation Wolf, Pang and Megablasters. There were about 4 or 5 others but I can't remember the names at the moment. ATF was the biggie for me, my 6128 was connected to a stereo amp so I can still hear that continuous whistling tone that was main background sound effect. I used to play that one into the early hours of the morning and more than once thinking, "shit its getting light!"

[trocoloco]

Many Spanish games in my case:

- all the AD adventures
- most Dinamic titles: AMC, Camelot Warriors, Abu Simbel, Satan, Navy Moves, Dustin, Rescate Atlantida, After the war, Game Over, Don Quijote, La Guerra de las Vajillas, Megaphoenix, Capitan Trueno...
- a few titles from Topo: Viaje al Centro de la Tierra, Ice Breaker, Mad Mix and Mad Mix 2...
- Paris Dakar from Zigurat
- a few from Opera: Last Mission, Sol Negro, Mutant Zone, Mot, Pogaboo...

I also have very fond memories of non Spanish productions. In no particular order these come to my mind: Castle Master, Exolon, Deflektor, Pop-up, Light Corridor, Psyborg, 3d Construction Kit (OK, this one is not a "game", but still), Tiny Sweeks, Turrican, Turrican 2, P-47, X-OUT, Silkworm, SWIM, Golden Axe, LED Storm, Crafton and Xunk, Robocop, Ghost and Goblins, Gryzor, Renegade, Space Harrier 2, Cybernoid 1 and 2, Operation Wolf, Arkanoid, Mario Bros, Psycho Pig, Wonder Boy... and many other.

Yes, my childhood was basically me in front of a computer. Then, when I was 11, I was bought a Megadrive with a Mega CD and it was even worse

......so basically you had a CPC......  and then you just bought a Megadrive too? At age 11???

What kind of rich family did you live in?

I was a bit too spoiled, yes! I had the CPC when I was 7 and the Megadrive with the Mega CD when I was 11, and many others afterwards  In my defense, I must say that I still keep all the stuff in quite immaculate condition and I was always a very good student  . In any case, due to me collecting stuff over the years, my parent´s flat is completely full of machines (40, I recall) and games (several hundreds)
