Head Over Heels
Head Over Heels Cutesy puzzle adventure - blurk!
There are two characters to move around in the huge mansion solving puzzles. Lo and behold, they are Head and Heels. They can stand on each other to solve the puzzles. There's a novelty.
Very nice graphics (for the Amstrad) with crap sound. The gameplay is every bit as good as the Speccy version.

Bionic Commandos
Bionic This is a great game - on the C64. On the Amstrad it is pure shite. So pure you can taste it.
How they got away with selling low class Spectrum port-overs, I don't know.
Someone should be shot for this. For Christ's sake just look at the screenshots, then look away.
The sound and gameplay is even worse.

Army Moves
Army Moves This game was available on all 8 BIT machines and, surprisingly, is not bad on the Amstrad.
It's still not good and is frustratingly hard to play 'cos just about every second you die hitting something that can't be avoided.
Nice music and smooth graphics though, if that's any compensation.

Shadow of the Beast
Beast Good fun on the Amiga. Good fun on the Amstrad. What? Surely not?
Nice graphics with good animation, music and sfx to match.
This is one of the best games I've come across on the Amstrad. And that's saying something considering the amount of poor quality efforts released for this machine.

Big Trouble in Little China
Trouble Uh-oh !
I hope the makers of this game died horribly for taking the cult John Carpenter movie and turning it into a steaming pile of donkey diarrhoea.
The irritating chinese-style music grates and the Speccy-like graphics make you shudder.
Watch out for the bad guys who appear and randomly dance about not even thinking about attacking.
Instead of playing this try cutting a glass bottle in half with a sword.
