Title: few games have been made to Amstrad?
Post by: cosa_nostra-6128 on 13:50, 23 July 15
hello talking with a friend we were speculating on how many games had to Amstrad, I think around 3000 ... you know the approximate amount of games?

Well CPC Power has 12000-odd "softwares" on there so maybe even more than that!

It's a reputable site and should be safe to download from if that's what you mean?

I mean if they are different games 12000 Games or repeated in different versions and packs? And I mean if the games are preserved 12000 ...  Or there are games that have not been able to recover and convert dsk ? Using a translator maybe this explains me wrong

Most have been preserved.

There are disks from originals and hacks and there are cassettes from originals and hacks and cartridges too.
There are a few games missing (not dumped) and there are records where game was announced but never released.

There are records for packs and the number includes tools and type-ins.

Yes. Right! And furthermore it lacks a lot of game as we know. For example Starfox, right? :laugh: :)
Don't get me wrong, I like the site a whole lot and it's really awesome. I just want to point out that the real number of games is probably even higher.  :)

I have only got respect for CPC Power, it is a really well implemented archive , that must have taken a lot of dedication to compile such a useful library, Considering it is from a foreign creator I presume? There is plenty of Consideration for the lazy English monoglots!Like moi Formidable , Achtung achtung Snell Snell Vite vite snell !Ci?

Some of the type-in games will remain missing due to magazines for one reason or another not publishing it entirely as well.
