- Hello and welcome to the fifth episode of Commodore 64 versus Amstrad CPC.
In this video, 8 games released in 1989 are shown running on both machines so you can see how different (or similar) they were.
Games like Mr. Heli, Test Drive 2, Robocop and 5 others.
Thanks for watching and let me know in the comments section below who "wins".
And, of course, see you in the next RetroNoName episode

Good point :
-CPC, colors.
-C64, sounds, music, scrolling
YES! Agree 100%
C64 seems to have higher resolution even in multicolor mode than CPC. So the sprites can be a bit smaller and the screen can show larger area with higher details. CPC graphics have more vibrant colours but chunky sprites. Don't forget, you are watching these vids on modern monitors with sharp images. Back then the CPCs had their own CRT monitors, where those colours bleeded very much.
Thank you for these comparisons ! So much more interesting to watch than the usual C64 vs Spectrum videos because the CPC is much stronger than the ZX.
Mr Heli is a great showcase of the strengths of each machine : gorgeous colours on the CPC, flawless arcade-like scrolling on the C64
More colorful than ZX but not "much stronger" ;)
@@tyruiiederttree3074 Well there's nothing the ZX can do that the CPC can't do better, so C64 vs ZX is like watching a premier league team play your local football club. The latter might win the odd match when the former are sick or drunk, but that's unusual.
C64 vs CPC is a much more balanced competition and actually worth watching.
Great comparison! For me sound is better on C64, about graphics, colours definitely CPC, but C64 somehow sharper, visible especially on RoboCop (always liked music from this game) and Rick Dangerous. And Stormlord looks amazing on both! Hard to believe it's only 16 colours. Also C64 is winner on Test Drive.
Great vid as ever
Thank you.
Did any CPC games run at 60 FPS?
👍👍
Amstrad wins robocop easy
Excellent vid as ever. Generally for me, robcop wins slightly on the CPC. Rick Dangerous one of the best CPC games so matches the 64. 64 way ahead on others if you play both. Esp test drive and ghouls which is awful on the CPC. Push scrolling!
Pretty much agree with everything.
C64>>>>> that Robo music is sooooooo good, etched into my memory since I was kid)))
all pretty even till the last game, you'd be happy with either. C64 maybe just slightly in front on a few occasions.
You're kidding me mate - robcop is better on the cpc, ghouls and ghosts way, way better on the c64 as is Mr Heli. Stormlord is a poor game but again plays better on the c64 etc.
Men se zdi kot da i ime cpc nekaj slabđo grafiko tako od c 64 ko specija
Na CPC so ponavadi uporabljali polovično resolucijo z vsemi možnimi barvami, zato izgledajo nekatere špile "kockasto".
So pa meni osebno zelo všeč barve na CPC.
