I enjoyed them back in the day, but as everyone else here has said, the difficulty was too high.

Now Super Cauldron on CPC I've never played. I don't believe it was ever an official sequel, though it seemed like it was implied...

There was supposed to be a "special announcement" in late Feb, which turned out to be the soundtrack release. They never said it would be the release date.

I went through a phase of jotting down video gaming memories with the aim of putting it online. I have the files somewhere, but I just found other things to do

Fried my GX4000 because I lost the UK - Aus electricity adapter & tried to use a normal universal Australian power adapter. The little Amstrad didn't like that all that much. I THOUGHT I'd set the voltage correctly, but apparently not...

Maybe it depends on where you get the Adapter Tap from. I'm from Australia & my Adapter Tap is from the US. I have all 3 SNES systems (PAL, NTSCU, NTSCJ) & the only power cable that fits the tap is the US model. As I said, I bought my Adapter Tap from the US so maybe this is why. The Japanese model ...

My favourite game of all time is Super Mario World. Even today it's such a large game with many hours of gameplay to be had. Very replayable...

Just checked it & it went alright... the auction ended early for some reason.

Ikari Warriors I remember Amstrad Action getting into a bit of legal trouble with SNK over that one. As for me, you can add a +1 to Blues Bros. That was a great game. Other games on AA tapes that I enjoyed included: Marsport - I ALMOST played it through to the end Tir Na Nog - Not as good as Marspo...

Crystal Kingdom was... different. Slightly episodic compared to the others which were sprawling adventures with no chapters or levels. As a game I didn't like it & the chunky mode 0 graphics made it look really bad. Looking back, I'd have to say Treasure Island was my favourite.

When Amstrad Action offered "Blue Brothers" on the covertape. I thought "something's not right, this game isn't all that old". That was the point I realised it was winding down.

Ahh the SNES. I'm nearing 400 carts myself, a lot of them boxed. I also have a complete Sufami Turbo collection fully boxed, which I'm quite pleased with. It's a pity that it never really took off, as it was a great idea.

Super Bomberman 4 for me. I like the ability to use the enemies once you've knocked them out.

Roland in... hold on, what was the question again??

At the moment I'm also hooked on "Game Dev Story". Prior to that it would be Pokemon Diamond & Pearl. haven't ventured out past that yet. Need to get the other games in the series...

Jack The Nipper. I played it at a friend's house & enjoyed it so much it prompted me to buy the superior Amstrad version. Everything on the Amstrad was superior though
