Amstrad CPC : The SHOCKING Truth

The Amstrad CPC wasn’t just colourful — in many cases, it OUTPERFORMED the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64. In this video, I reveal the shocking truth behind the CPC’s graphics, hardware strengths, and why so many of its best games looked better than people remember. We compare iconic multi-format games across all three classic 8-bit machines — ZX Spectrum vs C64 vs Amstrad CPC — and take a closer look at CPC ports that used the system’s colour modes, memory layout and hardware quirks to their full advantage. From conversions where the CPC surprisingly wins, to famous releases people assume look worse, to forgotten gems that prove the CPC’s real potential… this video digs into what made the Amstrad so special — and why its reputation deserves a second look. If you grew up with one of these machines or love retro gaming, you might be surprised at the results. Episode 39 of the FUN Retrogames Show your life has been missing. If your heart is stuck in your gaming past, welcome to our world! Retrogames started as the worlds first Retrogaming magazine way back in 1995, filled with reviews and analysis of rare games consoles and hard to find videogames. In 1998 our website became the first place you could buy console and computer games on the internet and in 1999 we launched our own London retro shop.

Even better, if you want to sell your own games collection, then we would love to take a look and price what you have.
