Il y avait une variété de jeux à l'époque.
Pas un seul ressemblait aux autres.
Bref de nos jours, que des jeux en 3D qui se ressemble tous.
On a l'impression que l'imagination, que la variété de jeux fou le camp !

I had no idea Alan Sugar's baby was capable of such gorgeous graphics! 2023 has already been an eye-opener for me, regarding retro gaming; as a youngster, I saw the Amstrad being sold in a bundle with 'Burnin' Rubber', but at the time I was captivated by the Nintendo Entertainment System. Had I realized that there were such awesome things happening on the home computer scene, games consoles might not have had such a spellbinding effect on me. Great video; not only were there lots of great memories, but also new games to experience. Thank you for putting the time and effort into working on it!
Les graphismes piquent les yeux aujourd'hui mais quel bonheur de retrouver des jeux ou j'ai passé des milliers d'heures. Merci pour cette sélection, merci pour ce travail.
Je ne trouve pas que ça pique les yeux :) C'était comme ça dans ce temps là. Peut-être que dans 20 ans, en 2043, quand nous regarderons les jeux vidéos de 2023 nous nous dirons la même chose: ça pique les yeux ! haha Si on a la chance d'être encore en vie à ce moment là, on verra bien.
Barbarian....Bomb Jack....Match Day 2.....Arkanoid.....Bruce Lee....Ikari Warriors.....Chase HQ.....Buggy Boy.....Commando.....Renegade....amazing how the sights and sounds of these games triggers the memory....would love to be able to play them all again...happy times
I loved my CPC 6128. I didn't realise so many games were available!
Amstrad had 2000-3000 games in total...
Yes, there is many titles I did never hear about ! :) Like Chevy Chase for example.
I guess many games were actually developped long after the system was discontinued. We need more programmers like these, doing their best pushing the hardware to its absolute maximum instead of taking for granted that the stupid customer will purchase something new every few months. One of the many reasons i miss these days. We've gone too far for so many things! We don't need any great reset, we need the good one instead.
I always loved the CPC even if I didn't own one back then. Looking at all these great games side by side I now realize why I always preferred it over the C64. As an Atari 8bit user I always enjoyed colorful screens.
My USIFAC II and ULIFAC cards will work overtime testing this long list of games. Thanks.
I'm surprised that these games are missing: Elite, Ghosts 'n Goblins, Jet Set Willy, Prohibition, Raid Over Moscow, Rebel Star, Zombi.
I had a CPC 464 with a colour screen and i spent countless hours playing Harrier Attack, Dizzy games, Famous 5 Treasure Island, WEC Le Mans, Operation Wolf, Hydrofook, Heavy on the Magik, Ghostbusters 2, Rolanx on the Ropes, Oh Mummy, Terminator 2 - the list could go on and on and on. Probably one of the greatest home computers of all time. I had one from 1998 - Chrisfmas 1993, when it was retiree by the arrival of an Amiga 600.
I had a lot of these games, it was the best period of my life.
I’m so happy to see again all those games that are gone forever now.
Boulder dash, Rick dangerous, Crazy cars, Cauldron, Green Beret… It brings back so many good memories…
yea, i remember the stinkers though. The majority of the budget must of went on the games artwork. They were always belters. Youd rush home after spending £10 and youd find out it was horrific. World cup, Out run, etc
It all looks so colorful.
I can't help noticing the lack of text adventures. They were an important genre in those days.
These have no RUclips appeal, just being boring walls of text.
Wow. I had moved onto an Amiga 500 when the majority of these games were coming out, but had no idea so many titles were still being developed for the CPC. Lemmings? Amazing. I miss my CPC464.
Chuckie egg...stay in the bottom left or right corner, the big duck once it got out the cage bounced around the corner and couldn't get you lol
Since the only amstrad game I've played so far is burning rubber it gives me hope seeing that every racing game on this list looks a thousand times better.
Oh you're so hard to please...
So many happy childhood memories. Thank you for sharing.
You have crafted an almost perfect list... I only miss a couple of hitec games, and perhaps titles as Cheman or Vector Vaults
Nice collection, GJ :)
What a list. Plenty I knew, plenty I didn't. And a few I would put on the list that weren't here. Amazing the difference in some of what they show the CPC to be capable of. Framerates, colours, dimensions, very variable.
Yes very much so. Seems to me the games from CPC are possibly the most variable of any system. I guess it was hard to code correctly for ? Or at least games developers were unaware how to code for it ?
Missing from the list:
Hot Shots, kung fu master, Cyberball, Ghosts & Goblins, Midnight Resistance, Grand Prix Simulator & Pro Ski Simulator
Apologies if they were but I missed them, such short snippets.
Great list & editing. Thank you!!!
Thanks for sharing, that brought back some good memories. Notably Prince of Persia, Robocop, Way of the Exploding Fist, Target Renegade, Fruity Frank. Will have to get the emulator set up sometime. Looks like there were some duff ones to avoid as well lol
Great list!
9:17 So many hours lost to Renegade! For me, it was like the double dragon arcade game.
Did you finish it?
merci pour le voyage dans le temps ;)
J'en avais pas mal de cette liste et bien d'autres (6-700 je crois me souvenir)... j'allais sur le serveur minitel d'Hebdogiciel où on prenait contact pour s'envoyer des listes et des colis de disquettes ^^
“Savage!” an essential on this list you got 100% right
1943, arkanoid, barbarian, bubble bobble, bomb jack, boulder dash, commando, double dragon,exolon, fruity frank, gauntlet2,gryzor,ikari warriors, lemmings, operation wolf, panza kick boxing, pinball dreams, renegade,rick dangerous 2, r-type(my preferate one), shinobi,sorcery,spindizzy,tempest
thank you so much Marty, i"m back to th future😋
excellent list. The best 150 games are the games that you enjoy the most. I also liked some games who were considered terrible, like Tusker for example of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Thanx for the vid mate! Cheers!
Thanks for your comment! I enjoyed so many games that I felt bad for letting out tens of them, but otherwise that would have been a list of 200 or even 250 games.
@@AmstradCPCWorld well, for some people this list might as well reach 300 games...Personally speaking, I owned more than 600 games....and I liked them all because if I bought something that wasn't of my liking, I erased it using Discology.
Very, very good list. Hard to argue with any of those
Thanks!
Belle liste... Merci !
1:14 Bloodwych yeah my favourite game ever
But... army moves, navy moves and stormlord MUST BE in that list.
Very nice selection! Try them on a Miyoo Mini or something like that, it's a treat!
(I would have included Kane, the Light Corridor, and especially Deflektor, but nice list nonetheless)
Very nice and colorfull set. :)
But I miss Prohibition, Tytus The Fox and Sim City. :(
Nice games as well!
Now that I have a steam deck, bringing these games back baby! I loved Bard's Tale back in the day
Monty on the Run, Starquake, Bounder, Rana Rama, Chronos, the Magic Knight series
3:46 Exolon guy looks like Master Chief from Halo!
So great to see Pipeline II there. The memories of playing that back in the late eighties.
However I would like to have seen The Apprentice, and Storm in there as well
some really fond memories
Another great compilation!
Thanks!
@@AmstradCPCWorld Where are the games from 1980, though?
I'm working on the video of games from 1987, and more than 120 games are recorded for it already.
@@AmstradCPCWorld I'm just messing with ya 😉😂
@@GenMaster Your video will be ready soon, master. Give me a breath, master 😧😉
cool vid retro bro :) CPC4EVA !!!!! hahaha
Great selection, but i would definitely put in Rebelstar- the prequel to Laser Squad. Amazing game. ATF is another one.
I love them!!!
Amazing graphics.
Elite, Tau Ceti, Codename Mat... the ancestors of Wing Commander
Marsport and Tir Na Nog gotta be represented.
05:05 Ikari Warriors really showcases the lack of a brown colour in the CPC palette thanks to its even quantisation of the RGB space.
Always had an issue with my cpc464 the sound/music in games would never play correctly unless I held down key 9
Very strange issue that I have never got to the bottom of
Moi qui croyait tout connaitre du CPC... j'en ai loupé des jeux, à l'époque !
Top très sympa. Pour moi il manque BAT, Billy la banlieue 2, Bomb Jack 2 Charlie's Diams, Double Dragon 1, Emlyn Hugues Soccer, Franck Bruno's boxing, Great Court, Green Beret, Ik+, Jack the nipper 2, Metrocross, Ocean Beach Volley, Ping Pong, Teenage Queen, Tensions Et sûrement quelques titres que j'ai oublié.
Love to own some them and play again
Jack the Nipper, Feud and the Roland games took so much of my youth. So glad you included Get Dexter. That was my all time fave (and I completed it).
I used to play a really cool game called Ninja Mission on my CPC-464. Can't find any references to it anywhere.
Quelle époque ❤️❤️❤️c est pour cela que je vais reprendre une console rétro..en des jeux Megadrive,master systèm et nes👍🏻
without Elite from Firebird, lol?
where is "beyond the ice palace" ?
My top picks from these would definitely be Fruity Frank, Sorcery (I didn't have Sorcery+) and Yie Ar Kung Fu... Moon Buggy, Harrier Attack and Roland in Time also got played a lot... But Fruity Frank is the bomb!!!
Missing titles:
Defender
Jet Set Willy
Feud
Ghosts and Goblins
Rebelstar
Spy vs Spy? (Can't remember if it was on Amstrad)
Where Eagles Dare (I think that was the name)
Wonder Boy
HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy (Text based)
im looking for an old title, helicopter game. game starts with an electronic piano play. its a puzzle game at the same time. anybody have any clue as to what its title may be?
Next time please give the year when made the games .Great job
Lords of Midnight was a major big-box release.
Orion prime looks very advanced for that time period.
What is a game called where you went up and down ladders dug holes for pumpkins to get stuck in , and once they got stuck you had to hit them and kill them otherwised the became "unstuck" and started chasing you around the level
wow it was amazing! sound is crap but graphics are lovely
Wow!!!
Would be good to include Cholo, Elite, and Starion in a follow-up expansion to represent 3D on the CPC.
Ghost and goblins.
I never realised the amstrad had so many games.
It has thousands of games.
I wonder how some games are so smooth and others so janky.
Its an interesting plataform tho.
It was hard to program a good scroll for the Amstrad CPC because it didn't have native hardware capabilites for that, so only a few games did it right by using some obscure coding and optimizations.
Really nice graphics, but this computer doesn't seem to handle higher framerate.
Buggy Boy belongs in there among the racers.
The Sentinel and Marble Madness is what you want :)
There's Spindizzy!
How to download ....amstrad CPC pack of all game for mediafire??? Please ....oter video of ☝🏼👆🏻
I'm searchin' for Ghouls n' Ghosts & Ghosts n' Goblins. ^^
miss : beyond the ice palace, mad balls, Paris-Dakar, cybernoïd 2, the pact, gouls and gost, basket master and kung fu master, and other else ... next video ?
Wow, such a great quality! Who wants to trade it for my C128. C64 games look really bad in comparison.
Impressionnant ! Le CPC bien programmé est largement au niveau de la NES ou de la Master System, et presque de la PC Engine…
I missed Army Moves and Navy Moves.
I don't see Jet set Willy
😳
I miss Roling Thunder and some more
Druid has the same sounds as Ikari Warriors.
Good list but there is not Langhkor games .
Такая крутая графика, по сравнению с ZX-Spectrum. Но почему так ужасно выглядят Laser Squad и R-type?
Sur amstrad on avait le droit au pire comme au meilleurs. Renegade gryzor étaient de superbes conversions. D autres étaient complètement bâclés comme gradius, salamander, wonderboy... je pense qu ils savaient que l argent rentreraient avec la jaquette du jeu sur l etallage. Souvent ils ne se cassaient pas la tête.. c est sur que les ordinateurs étaient limités mais bien programmé, ça faisait des merveilles. J ai de très bons souvenirs sur amstrad, j ai encore mon c64 et j y joue encore...chaque machine avaient ses pépites.. amstrad, zx, c64, atari, amiga
OleeeeEEEEEE🇪🇸🕹😆👍EE... OnE CRACK
I wanted to try the CPC, which I didn't have as a kid, and decided to try the games on the list in order.
... ... If 1943 is really among the best the CPC has to offer, maybe I should play some other platform! Only 2 stages that repeat? in 1987? That same year, I bought Tiger-Heli on NES, with only 3 stages that repeat (plus the intro level) with no ending, and I felt cheated. This is even worse! And no one in his right mind would place Tiger-Heli among the nes' best!
Hopefully, I'll find better in the rest of the list!
I hope you didn't waste much time looking. As an Amstrad owner back in the day, I confess our love for these machines is highly influenced by nostalgia. You had instant loading, hardware scrolling, sprites, and 60fps gameplay. We had multiple-minute tape loading, all graphics drawn by Z80 CPU software, and 10fps treacle-like gameplay on anything visually complex.
Try a 3D game like Elite to find something that might run better on the CPC, or single screen, simple early games like Manic Miner and Chucky Egg for games that played well, staying within the machine's capabilities.
Exolon yes
Amstrad CPC colour home machines had the best or near the top graphics of any 8 bit machine, in my opinion, in terms of both colour and detail of game objects.
I say this because with the CPC colour home machines, each pixel can be individually controlled in terms of colour, the only limit being the number of colours in the overall screen mode, i.e. 16, 4 or 2. Much like the BBC Micro, because similar hardware was used. Contrast this with the Spectrum, VIC20, C64 which all had by-design limitations in controlling the individual colour of each pixel.
But the CPC had the edge on the BBC Micro with tri-state RGB: 0 50% and 100%, per colour channel, meaning a palette of 27 colours could be selected from for the 16, 4 or 2 colour modes, offering some natural tones and realism, as opposed to the BBC's 8 maximum colours. Nowadays there is the VideoNULA add on for the BBC, offering 4096 colours to choose from, though this wasn't there back in the 80s but an amazing engineering feat nonetheless - find videos of it here on RUclips.
I never owned a CPC, but admire the above capability. Of course, such capability is only one criterion of defining the greatness of a machine.
This computer was in now way shape or form better than a commodore64, in fact it was quite the opposite, the c64 certainly had the best sound and ecosystem
But the Amstrad had no hardware sprites and no hardware scrolling. Unbelievable shortcomings, really. Given that the CPC came out in 1984 and one would have thought that those things are a standard, a must have.
@@WinrichNaujoks The amstrad was a spectrum in drag, they werent great to be honest, especially since the c64 came out a few years earlier and was superior in every way
@@Synthematix It shouldn't have been successful, but it did quite well, particularly in Germany and France. I don't understand why though. It wasn't even cheap. And on top it had those crappy 3" disks, which were like 7 times the price of a 5.25" disk.
@@WinrichNaujoks I was a big fan of the atari 65xe used to love that computer, and the oric1 48k
Now do a proper CRT recording with 2-3 times the amount of game play per title please.
Oh, Rolling Thunder missing too
Where’s IK+?
Where is Lotus Turbo Chalenge ?
Not here, but I included it in my video of Best Racing Games: ruclips.net/video/SvKACQDDLTA/видео.html
Amstrad's version of Lotus is sucks. :D
Power drift on c64 was great too
Cauldron no way. C
I found it tough, confusingz and boring, but it was a big game at the time.
Enterprise 8mhz come on cpc
Emulator: Need Overclocking
Hahahah Oh Mummy! Really?
It's a classic of the platform.
@@AndrewHelgeCox I know, I know...
Grew up with Sinclair, Tandy, Apple II, MSX, Amiga but never seen a CPC in person. Its colorful graphics are quite impressive for the period's standards.
IMHO ZX Spectrum developers utilized colour scheme to the maximum possible level while CPC had mostly the same picture, except few games. So it is worth to have CPC only if you are going to play Double Dragon III.
@@estuansinterius314 Thank you for your opinion. Playability for most ZX spectrum games is usually great as his usual kinda-monochromatic graphics, that's a fact. But CPC remaims for me as the fascinating unknown one. Gonna find an emulator for it and check by myself though.
@@estuansinterius314 Maybe, but the palette of the zx spectrum is the reason why i don't arrive to play on it. Added to the color clash is too much for me.
