Top 10 exclusive CPC games

[Nich]

Six games I can think of that are CPC exclusives (as far as I know):

• Activator
• Dr Scrime's Spook School
• Mazie
• Palitron
• Questor
• Turbo Chopper Simulator

Killer Cobra is an awesome Super Cobra (Scramble) clone and Amstrad exclusive!

There's the interesting question of whether the "Roland" games count. Roland on the Ropes is obviously just Fred rebadged etc. Roland In Time is, as far as I know, a proper exclusive though.

Roland In The Caves is Bugaboo The Flea repackaged as well.

Roland Goes Digging has a big question mark over it. It's a Space Panic clone, but I'm unsure if it ever got released on any other format, even under a different name.
(nope! title was inspired by Dragon32's Cuthbert Goes Digging... every day's a school day huh?)

Recently, I discovered that Roland in Time was ported to the Tatung Einstein. The name was changed to Time Trap.

Check out at 3"30.
Alligata made 2 exclusive games, if I'm not mistaken. And good ones : Doppleganger and Meltdown.
Many early french games are exclusive too : Buggy 2, Rally 2, Sram, Orphée,  Billy la banlieue, Fusion 2, Pacific, ...

The Top 10 will probably be "all exclusives" as there are so few - unless we count in the homebrew stuff after 2000. But then it will become a "best of homebrew" list, as most exlusives from 198x are rubbish compared to the new stuff.

We need to think of at least 10 good exclusives or Bridge It is going to have to go on the list...

Burnin' Rubber is not an exclusive, it also existed on the Commodore Amiga.

[VincentGR]

They are both from Ocean, but look different.

[norecess464]

Same license, same company, but 2 different implementations yes!

[dodogildo]

1983 C64 Burnin' Rubber from Colosoftware

Totally different game, don't think that counts.

1983 C64 Burnin' Rubber from Colosoftware 

Looks like a port of the Data East arcade game (which was aka Bump 'n Jump)

[Axelay]

I think if you look at the time before licensed multiformat titles became the norm there's perhaps quite a few, or at least a lot more than 10, as well as a few after those big publishers moved on.

Just thinking about some early games I played, read about or became aware of later, and couldn't see anything obvious about having versions on other platforms in some quick searches, I think these might be possibilities:

• Macrocosmica
• Satellite Warrior
• The Game of Dragons
• Tank Command
• Star Avenger
• Fruity Frank
• Galaxia
• Radzone
• Scout Steps Out
• Bio Spheres

• Ball Bearing
• Star Driver
• Masters of Space
• Megablasters

[Shaun M. Neary]

Regret to inform that Fruity Frank isn't an Amstrad exclusive. The MSX got it as well.

Same for 

• Galaxia (MSX)
• Star Avenger (MSX)
• Radzone (C64)

At least we can update the Wiki page for CPC Exclusives.

For CPC only: Burnin Wheels!

Do you mean the type-in? 

[norecess464]

Raahhh I was about to suggest Basket Master. (https://www.cpc-power.com/index.php?page=detail&num=866) ... it has Amstrad logos in the background after all ! but after some research it also exists on other platforms (https://www.lemon64.com/game/basket-master)

[Gryzor]

Ah, I did know there was a Speccy version but I didn't know about the c64 one - probably best left alone...

Yes. I couldn't find another one though.

Nah, that was on the Game, Set and Match II compilation on practically every format.

[Shaun M. Neary]

Guys, I hate to dare suggest this, I REALLY hate to dare suggest this but...

Was the abomination better known as Bridge-It released on any other platforms? 
(Hey! At least it's December now and we can play it for the Amstrad rendition of Jingle Bells and it'll still sound better than Buble!)

Hi, 
I think Billy la banlieue & Billy 2 are CPC exclusive.
Love these games back in the dayz.
