Amstrad CPC 6128 Memories

Box Art

#Rambo3 (1988) on the #AmstradCPC6128 was a great game. Not much color on screen, but it felt detailed and sharp. Also a fun game to play, so much fun that I tried to copy my friend's official disk over the weekend. Too bad for my parents as I didn't know what "Format" meant at the time... #FunTimes

Repost with your first gaming controller. #VG5000

I'll give it a try! Thought this game would be available on the Amiga 500 too but no.

The dynamic rope!

Jack the Nipper II: In Coconut Capers (1987) by Gremlins on the #AmstradCPC6128. I only remember the name of this game, I don't even know why. Looking at it again, it's like a #RickDangerous with a baby. Not much color on screen but some nice dynamic ropes. Looks like a decent game actually.

Never played this game or even heard that name before. Looks good though!

#MiamiVice (1986) by Ocean Software on the #AmstradCPC6128. I've played this game quite a few times, and never understood what to do. Always failed to arrest anyone, driving was awful. Funny that I can't find any long play of this game on #Youtube. Probably because this game was actually bad.

#Cybernoid (1988) by Raffaele Cecco was a great game on the #AmstradCPC6128 . Again, everything in this shooter were appealing, intro screen, graphics, music and gameplay. Spent hours trying to find my way out of this space maze. #Retrogaming

It is both heartbreaking and infuriating!

Retry, Ignore or Cancel?

I don't own an #AmstradCPC6128 anymore. My dad threw it away years ago, because "It did'nt even work anymore". It was pre internet era, so we didn't know that all we had to do was to replace the belt, that we now can find online for 5$.

#Saboteur2 (1987) by Durell on the #AmstradCPC6128 was one of the best games on the machine. Huge, choppy animations, moody. I recall my dad drawing the map of the game on several sheets of paper taped together and won't ever forget that intro music. Did you make it to the escape bike?

#Marauder (1988) by Hewson was a top down shooter where you play some kind of armored vehicle. Really liked this game for both its music and graphics, and of course it was a very fun game to play as well. The main theme is hard to forget, even to these days. #AmstradCPC6128

Pac-Man phase of the game

Intro screen

#Sigma7 (1986) by #DurellSoftware was probably one of my favorite games on the #AmstradCPC6128. Colorful and interesting to play with its different gameplay phases, a Shoot'Em Up, Pac-Man inspired, a puzzle game, the whole package! Felt like playing a 3D game on the Amstrad with its sharp esthetic.

#EnduroRacer (1987) was an entertaining racing game, with sharp visuals despite a few colors on screen. m.youtube.com/watch?v=CcTz...
Remember those darned rocks?

#Deflektor (1987) by Gremlin. Spent hours playing this brilliant puzzle game, where you have to reorient a laser using mirrors. Always hoped someone would bring it back to life on modern consoles. Would remembers it? #AmstradCPC6128 #Retrogaming

#RickDangerous on #AmstradCPC6128 (1989), probably the game I played the most as a child. Very hard and unforgiving, you mostly had to know the levels by heart to have a chance to beat the game. The game is actually more fun with unlimited lives. I guess any game would be more fun like this anyway.

Obviously, the American presidential elections reminded me of #NorthAndSouth, fantastic game from #Infogrames released in 1990 on #AmstradCPC6128. I was a bit jalous of the #Amiga500 version where you had more environments and you could destroy some elements on the battlefield. #Retrogaming

I grew up on these streets.

As a kid, money was scarce, so I used to buy game compilations, 12 games at a time! One day, I stumbled upon that game at the store, #MoonBlaster. Real 3D, at least I thought it was, on my #AmstradCPC6128? How is that even possible? From that day on, never bought compilations again!

#Halloween is already behind us, but have you ever played #Ubisoft #Zombi. Broke my controller twice, out of rage and panic, trying to save my skin fighting a horde of zombies. Was like playing an open-world adventure game. #AmstradCPC6128 #Retrogaming

I don't remember finishing this game, it was a difficult one, but I loved that artwork in the intro. There was some good ideas, but I was actually kind of afraid to play this creepy and sad game. #AmstradCPC6128

Can't remember exactly when I tried OCP Art Studio for the first time, probably around 1987, but it was my first experience of digital art, way before Photoshop. How proud I was, animating with color palettes, process described here in this video. youtu.be/LUbrzg21X9c #AmstradCPC6128

Spent so much time on this game when I was young. I even found a cheat code pressing all the keys on my keboard. Never really new what combination I actually did, but worked every time. Still fun today!
