What country has brought the finest out of the Amstrad?

[MacDeath]

wow, quite a creepy garden...

[remax]

Billy la Banlieue, the fifth axe, Sapiens, Birdie, Captain Blood, Orion Prime, Head over Heels...


I can totally imagine a CPC with only french games, it would still be awesome


So France has the first place for me.


Spain : really colorfull, beautiful and challenging games.


Then UK : many many games, some gems, but too many shitty games (Speccy port urg....)

[TFM]

There is more to the CPC than only Games.

[MacDeath]

Head over Heels.

I don't think it is a french game...

Sure...

Yeah, my bad...

[ralferoo]

LOL, i just remember the apple: "what a bad shot you are!"

That must have been, what, 27 years ago?

[MaV]

LOL!

Either this game inspired Barry Humphries to his Dame Edna or the other way around, but there is no way they aren't linked in some way.

There we have it - Australia's finest export. Dame Edna. Not exactly bringing out the best in Amstrad though. [size=78%]  [/size]

[ivarf]

Do not forget the great games from Egypt! 
How many were there?

I know Epicsoft released
Roland on the Run
Bridge It
Centre Court


Anything else from Egypt? Do anyone know more about Epicsoft?

I'd have said Paul Hogan. But he didn't exactly show Australias best side either, at least not in the Paul Hogan show

That's the problem with Australia is when the rest of the world get to see what's been going on from a Queenslanders perspective with the likes of Hogan chucking his snags on the barbie, Steve Irwin wrestling Crocs and going Crikey a lot or some Golfer who spends more time (like Hogan) in the USA. True I guess the Southern End of Australia gave the world Dame Edna who were going in the days of B&W and other personalities which are currently under investigation.  And I guess the UK has to put up with shows like Neighbours just to see what people down south are like. 

[Bryce]

Well there was Rolf Harris too... Oh, wait, that's maybe not such a good example either... 

Bryce.

[EgoTrip]

Neighbours is pretty shit, but Home and Away is quality.

[Puresox]

Prisoner Cell Block H !! That show was wicked !!! Loved it especially how it used to recycle actors in different roles all the time !

[dcdrac]

The Sullivans and the Flying Doctors and Skippy the Bush Kangeroo

[steve]

There is a remake of it now showing in the UK called Wentworth.
No, I am not watching it.
I always thought it funny that the same actors showed up in most of the shows they made, made it seem like there was a shortage of actors in Australia.

[Border_7]

Paul Hogan, Rolf Harris *sigh*


and of course we were the dumping ground for Great Britain's unwanted crooks as well for quite some time (after the Americans stopped the British convict ships after the revolution).


I heard that a ton of convicts escaped from Van Diemen's land into Victoria and were never found

Well the Rest of the World might think that Australia is a big place when they see us on a map, though our population on a global scale is tiny. Not that we need a few billion people, cause this continent is very dry it wouldn't be sustainable.

ah - is that why we're so hell bent on stopping "the boats" ? and the historical reason the Dutch didn't claim this place first? We all could have ended up having dutch as our native tongue.

[AMSDOS]

The problem with the Dutch was they were exploring Western Australia and saw mostly Desert, which is what Australia mostly  consists of. Our Deserts are interesting places though full of life when they need to be or find water by whatever means. Humans unfortunately aren't as adaptable and things get tough if a dry place has too much demand.

I think Mr. Abbots boat policy may have flaws and the Indonesian's aren't happy with it, my idea which some political persons have raised, unfortunately is controversial, though perhaps better than just letting the boat people get away with sending people to their deaths.

[Bryce]

I laughed loudly when I heard his "Buy all their boats" idea. What will he suggest next: Drill holes in all the wood they export to Indonesia, or sell them compasses with the needles reverse-poled?

Well, the native people have no problems with that. I just hope their situation get's better. I heart really bad stories what companies do to them - while the government takes their money, corrupt as politicians are.

[dcdrac]

to get back on topic, did Ireland ever make games for the CPC?

[TFM]

Yes, but drinking games of course... see here...





and here....

[MacDeath]

still the "shoters" version seems nasty.
