The Home Computer's ports (Amstrad CPC port too) were mostly produced by the Famous amongst Amstrad CPC user [[Ocean|OCEAN]] company from England.
== Gryzor Vs. Contra Vs. Probotector ==
'''Gryzor ''' is probably one of the best game available on Amstrad CPC, actually a port from Konami's '''Contra'''. Contra was often renamed from countries to countries and is probably featured in every Top10 games system to system for this standard.This is a "Run and Gun" style game, such as games like : [[Robocop]], Midnight resistance..more or less obscure reasons.
NES version was renamed '''Probotector''', having the sprites changed from humans to robots due to censorship reasons, it was judged too violent for European children if the protagonist were humans, and would lead thsoe kids to kill peoples in the street. Contra was renamed Gryzor because the term Contra could refers to "the Iran-Contra affair" or Nicaraguan Contra rebels... which were hot topics in 1987. Despite those name changes, this is the same game despite in different countries, on different machines and produced by different companies (under license in OCEAN's case)  == CPC version == Gryzor is probably one of the best game available on Amstrad CPC, and is probably featured in every Top10 games for this standard. This is of course not objective but quite accepted amongst the Amstrad community, Gryzor is the symbol of what a well programmed CPC can do. This is a "Run and Gun" style game, such as games like : [[Robocop]], Midnight resistance... With vertical, horizontal and 3d (sort of) action.
It is well known for :
*Awesome colorfoul colourful graphics.
*Nice Music.
*excellent playability and fast action.
*various levels and different gameplays.
*lack of a proper 2 player mode.
This is probably the best port amongst 8 bit computers, always refered referenced as by Amstrad CPC fans in the "8 bit war" when C64 users claim it as to be a lame machine.
Even the [[Commodore 64|C64]] and [[MSX]] ports were somewhat inferior compared to the CPC version. Perhaps not surprisingly, the MS-DOS PC version was miles behind.
