I love everything Sega, but still voted Playstation 1

Xbox 360, it's not by Sony or Nintendo, so it's obviously the best choice

For people that have played both systems a lot, I can't see why they voted PS2

Would have voted for the Megadrive as I never got much fun out of my SNES. Sega is always better

Should this not be in the main section? Anyway, GX4000 is definitely the better machine, at least it improved the hardware. What were the different specs? Did they make the GX4000 more powerful than the standard 464? Repost of my previous post in this thread! :shock: Even the bog standard Amstrad C...

The games were priced between £15-25 depending on the publisher. And Navy SEALS and Robocop 2 are definitel...

Has to be the C64GS here. It is utterly pointless, but the quality of C64 games available on cart mean the GX4000's limited library can't begin to compete.

Oh.. I thought it was new content

We've not had an Amstrad bookazine before. I seem to recall Darran saying that it wouldn't sell well, but maybe a a combined Amstrad/Spectrum edition would work. It would'nt sell to anyone outside CPC fans at all... so I made my own personal copy. I would rather have seperate Amstrad and Spectrum b...

Looks like a quick port of the C64 graphics. Had it been native on the Amstrad, it would have had better choice of colours and shading and more use of free placement of colours

I think this will be my favorite version

Amiga or PC? Was it released on other platforms? Mac maybe?

Are you sure it was ever released?
