The sad thing for me is that this highlights how many excellent games the GX & CPC+ missed out on via lack of development & just not being ported, such a shame.
You’re not really comparing like for like in terms of situations. During the 80s and early 90s, the video game industry was a fast moving industry and we’re talking big money from software houses to be made to capitalise on certain markets, particularly the arcade and movie licence markets.
As a result, developers didn’t have a lot of time to milk the best out of machines and Amstrad owners weren’t the only ones to suffer that fate, there are some woeful Speccy and C64 games out there too.
Comparing a game developed by hobbyists with no deadlines that had all the time in the world to play with is grossly unfair. For what it’s worth, the Speccy has seen some awesome remakes recently too, including Kung Fu Master, and if you ever played the Speccy KF Master, you’d understand exactly why it needed to be remade! 😂
