Great !
I have found one book my father bought when i was children for my Oric Atmos, Creepy Computer Games.

[Gryzor]

I had all three with the little robots on the cover. I loved them, but was constantly disappointed the programs didn't run on my CPC I finally understood the concept of adaptations...

[Morri]

I remember these books. Just had a quick read through some of them and they were very well written for their intended age group.

I wish other companies would now do the same thing with their old 8 bit books.

[AMSDOS]

I had all three with the little robots on the cover. I loved them, but was constantly disappointed the programs didn't run on my CPC I finally understood the concept of adaptations...

Unfortunately most (if not all) of those books pre-date the Amstrad CPC-464, which is why they had no Amstrad programs in them. Expanding Your Micro mentions the 464 in it though, and can only presume there wasn't enough to publish another book with Corrections for Locomotive BASIC.


Though I managed to get Ghost Maze from their Creepy Computer Games working & translated Ghost Guzzler into Turbo Pascal (even though I changed the game a little bit), and Death Valley from Computer Spacegames was pretty easy to translate.
