At the Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo, I saw an Amstrad CPC being demoed. Since then, I’ve been absolutely fascinated by this platform.

You see, we never got the Amstrad CPC in North America.

Obviously, we got the Amiga even though it was unpopular.

We also got the Sinclair Spectrum. Over here, it was known as the Timex Spectrum. Not very popular, but we got it.

So the Amstrad was a complete mystery to me.

Today, I downloaded every Amstrad game ever made. And you know what? I still find it baffling.
