Why the Amstrad CPC Stood Out Among 8-Bit Computers

Image
The 8-bit era was a fascinating time for home computers, with several iconic machines vying for dominance. Let's dive into why the Amstrad CPC was considered one of the best 8-bit computers, and how it compared to the Commodore 64 (C64), ZX Spectrum, and the MSX. Amstrad CPC The Amstrad CPC series, launched in 1984, was known for its robust design and built-in monitor, which set it apart from its competitors. It featured a Zilog Z80A CPU running at 4 MHz, 64 KB of RAM (expandable to 128 KB), and impressive graphics capabilities with a palette of 27 colours. The CPC's sound was handled by the AY-3-8912 sound chip, offering three channels of sound. Commodore 64 (C64) The C64, released in 1982, was a powerhouse in the 8-bit market. It had a MOS Technology 6510 CPU running at 1 MHz, 64 KB of RAM, and superior graphics with a resolution of 320x200 and 16 colours. The C64's SID (Sound Interface Device) chip was legendary, providing three channels of complex sound and music. ZX Sp...

Amstrad CPC 8-bit exclusive games

Have you ever wondered what Amstrad CPC games were exclusive to the Amstrad CPC? The list below is what I know of, some of the games below are truly awful, but then again, there's quite a few games I wouldn't have missed for the world. This is by no means a definitive list of exclusives, and in most cases, you can find these games on the Amiga, ST and Consoles, but you won't find 'em on the ZX Spectrum or C64 (That's if I've done my homework correctly).  There's some real classic amongst this lot, Bumpy is brilliant, as is Bactron and D.Day is a masterclass in arcade strategy. I also found a game I never knew existed in 'Dempsey and Makepeace' a classic cop series set in the 80s. But the jewel in the crown for me is Get Dexter. Star Driver needs to be checked out if you've never played it, it scrolls along like a mode 7 game, the scrolling technique from the SNES, and if you think you're ready for a challenge, try Builderland, it needs...

The Top Gun of NES Games: My 8 Favourite Classics That Still Soar

Image
  The Nintendo Entertainment System was more than a console it was a gateway to adventure, a pixelated playground where every click of a cartridge ignited joy. As a lad, I’d lose myself in its worlds, the hum of the telly and the clack of the controller my soundtrack to countless afternoons. Sure, legends like The Legend of Zelda, Castlevania, and Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! deserve their praise, but my heart belongs to eight NES gems that defined my late childhood entry to the NES: Top Gun, Super Mario Bros. 3, Kirby’s Adventure, Contra, M.U.L.E., Mega Man 2, Rad Racer, and Batman: The Video Game. These are my Top Gun of NES games - titles that flew high then and still hold up today. Let’s take a nostalgic flight through why they’re so special, what critics thought at the time, and how they play now. 1. Top Gun (1987) Top Gun was my Maverick moment. I’d squint at the screen, imagining myself as a hotshot pilot dodging missiles and nailing that carrier landing. The game’s flight sim v...
