*1986: [[SpindizzyDonkey Kong]] released; isometric action/puzzle gameanother arcade conversion for the CPC, and a really good one at that

*1986: [[Spindizzy]] released; isometric action/puzzle game
*1986: [[Turbo Esprit]] released; free-roaming driving simulation with (for the time) amazing graphical detail. The grandfather of modern games like the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto_%28series%29 GTA] series, except in GTA you play for the other side.
*1987: [[Gryzor]] released; side-scroller known for its nice graphics
*1988: [[R-Type]] released; famous shoot-'em-up. Unfortunately the CPC version is a sub-par Spectrum port.
*1989: [[Emlyn Hughes International Soccer]] released; pretty much the definitive soccer simulation for 8-bit/16-bit machines
*1990: [[Prince of Persia]] released; impressively fluid animation, the CPC version can hold its own here even against the Amiga.
*1990: [[Rick Dangerous 2]] released; platformer with comic-style graphics
*1991: [[Turrican 2]] released; run-and-gun with impressive graphics, mainly known as an [[Amiga]] game
