I'm not sure how I ended up joining this site or contributing (games sections only at this stage). But I'm 32, living in Sydney, Australia. I only recently stumbled across all of this stuff...and there I was, transported back to the 80's.

My Dad bought me an Amstrad CPC 464 for xmas 1987 (I think) when we were living in NZ. What a christmas present!!!

Swapping games with kids from school was fun - Dad had it sussed out pretty quick, you could make copies (cassette tape) - so I ended up with copies of everyone else's games. Of course, never told anyone else you could do that!And, the kids with Commodore 64's had no clue how awesome Amstrad's actually were! Yes, they gave me a hard time because I had an Amstrad.
* UPDATE: Games left I've managed to finishthese games in recent years (finally):[[Into Oblivion]], [[Radzone]], [[Vampire]], [[Streaker]], [[The_Island_Of_Dr._Destructo]], [[Ghostbusters]], [[Rebelstar]], [[Con-Quest]], [[Questor]] and [[Apprentice (the)]].
- Still haven't managed to sort out [[DopplegangerRasterscan]] However Into Oblivion, Radzone, Vampire, Streaker, Destructo, Ghostbusters, RebelStar, Con-Quest, Questor and The Apprentice have now been finished, finally! (Some closure there)though.
I remember the anticipation and excitement as those cassette tapes were ever so close to loading and I could start playing!!!
* CWTA - Australian version): [[Computing_With_The_Amstrad_-_Australian_Edition]]
What next? Some New Zealand stuff:?
* Bits & Bytes: [[Bits_and_Bytes]]
