/vr/ - Retro Games

Here's also a good Amstrad CPC games link:
http://www.cpcgamereviews.com/gameslist.html

The cpc-power link at the end of each review has even more screenshots, but those pages are in french (if nothing else you can check out the pictures).

Btw, I don't agree with maybe 1/3 to 1/2 of the reviews I read on that first link. Take his words with a grain of salt. It's fun to read about the games, but it's better to play them and make your own decision.

And the pic is Asphalt, by Ubi Soft. It's a pretty fun shoot 'em up where you take out road warriors instead of aliens in outer space. Used to play this a lot in the 80's, but the desktop emulators I tried (Caprice32, MESS) had problems with this game. I think one of the CPC emulators for Nintendo DS managed to run it though.

Asphalt (UBI Soft, 1987)
You drive an armored truck in some Mad Max type setting, and have to defend yourself from the highway gangs.
