Title: Top 20 Amstrad CPC games
Post by: CrookieMonster on 06:51, 10 August 22
Andrew "Merman" Fisher has put together a great list of the best 20 CPC games. It's a lovely read and cool selection. https://www.timeextension.com/guides/best-amstrad-cpc-games

Obviously not considering homebrew games of the last few years :)

As with all these lists, it's a matter of opinions and you will always find something to disagree.

But Burnin' Rubber is questionable to be on a CPC list.

Very well written article and an interesting selection of games.

The choice of Zap T' Balls over Pang is a bit controversial! If they were excluding GX4000/Plus games then it's understandable, but they clearly weren't!

Nice selection, though a few I certainly wouldn't pick for a top 20, but I can understand why others might.

But there is an error in the section about Cybernoid, the excellent music was provided by Dave Rogers, not David Whittaker.

On the Renegade section:

" The Amstrad does an impressive job graphically of recreating the gritty look of Renegade, down to the stars rotating around a dazed opponent's head. "

..is this some hidden mode? I know there is the cheat to get red blood instead of the blue, but I do not recall the spinning stars.

Yes, this was restricted to commercial games. Although Zap T Balls was there to represent that late era when homebrew really started.

Axelay, thanks for pointing out the music error.
