The two systems did share a lot of games so I probably got to play many of the same titles as C64 owners. Some of my favourite Amstrad CPC games were:
- Spin Dizzy
- 1943: Battle of Midway
- California Games
- Winter Games
- Summer Games
- Gryzor
- Gauntlet II
- Knight Lore
- Marble Madness
- Operation Wolf
- Pipe Mania
- Rygar
- Renegade
- Target Renegade
- Sabre Wulf
- Robin Hood (digitized speech on the CPC!)
- The Way of the Exploding Fist
- Pulsator
- ATF (Advanced Tactical Fighter)
- Alien Break-In
- Xevious
- Sorcery Plus
- Q-Bert
- Cauldron
- Chiller
- Commando
-
There was also a big compilation of CPC games I bought at the time that contained some great games, but I cannot remember the name of most of them. I think Spin Dizzy was part of the collection though so I will have a search later and see what compilations contained that.
Did anyone play Ranarama? I never got to play this on any 8-bit system, but it came free on the welcome disk of the Atari ST when I bought one and it was a great game that I know originally came out for the C64 and CPC.
And there is another game I'm trying to remember the name of. It was originally a ZX Spectrum game, but was then released on the CPC and Atari ST. It was a platform game where you started at the top of the level and had to drop down into cave systems. You you find rocket pads that you could use to move around thrust style and land on docking pads to refuel them. There was also a lot of objects you could collect around the levels, and I remember a telephone booth being used to teleport between different booths you had already visited. The graphics were very ZX Spectrum like with each sprite being a single colour. Does anyone know what the game could be?
