After a lot of research and going through my complete collection of 8000+ magazines I have completed my list of every PCW 8256 game released.

The list adds many titles to that shown on the Wikipedia PCW games page and includes all officially released games (including games written in Basic) but excludes learning software such as 'Fun School'.

Here is the list:

Nice list!


If you don't mind, I'll be checking it against the list of games we have listed at the PCW Wiki, to add the missing ones to our list too.


As you can see, we try to preserve anything PCW with best quality, so if you would like to help us, you'll be welcome!

Hi, yes please do. I've just noticed an error - Classic Collection vol 1 contains 'Munch It' not 'Much It'.

Great work!


It would be great to be able to archive these too.

craiganderson

Great list. Is there a link to download all of these games in one go?
thanks either way

||C|-|E||

Quite a decent collection, considering that it was not meant to be a gaming machine!  :D

I am using CPM Box to play PCW games. Some games load and play with no problem. Some I can not get to work even after trying multiple different download of the .dsk file. For example, Apple Jack will not work for me. Do some games require more than just "inserting" the disk and then hitting the Play button? Do i need to change hardware etc? thanks inadvance

You must boot the computer with the CP/M system disk or start the emulator with the appropriate .dsk file. Then you change the floppy or .dsk file.
The dir command shows you the directory. .COM files can be started.

System .dsk: http://www.filewatcher.com/b/ftp/ftp.cpcszene.de/pub/Computer/Amstrad_PCW/PCW_System_Disks-0.html
