Hello guys, I was wondering if games using mode 2 exist on the CPC.
Essentially adventure games apparently:

Fres Attack is the only shootemup in mode 2 I suppose..

Nice! What's about a MODE 2 game contest?
Some of the AA Type-ins I remember being MODE 2 are
* Life from AA44 (https://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/Amstrad_Action_May_1989_Type-Ins) (May 1989)
(https://www.cpcwiki.eu/imgs/e/e6/Life.png)
* NIM II from AA51 (https://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/Amstrad_Action_December_1989_Type-Ins) (Dec 1989)

* Warzone AA68 (https://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/Amstrad_Action_May_1991_Type-Ins) (May 1991)
(https://www.cpcwiki.eu/imgs/6/67/Warzone2TI.png)
While Warzone has MODE 2 Gameplay screen, the Main Menu is MODE 1. Just recently I updated this game (https://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/cpcwiki-discussion/amstrad-action-type-in-project/msg193579/#msg193579) since the original was 6128 only, so it now works on 464 too, though hate to say haven't corrected it for 664.
I remember Warzone, I quite enjoyed it, for a type-in.
This query on CPC-Power reveals all programs in mode 2, but there are almost no games: https://www.cpc-power.com/index.php?page=database&lemot=MODE2%20inside (https://www.cpc-power.com/index.php?page=database&lemot=MODE2%20inside)
You can add the french game Biat to the list of mode 2 games.
