Britfag here. I grew up playing on an Amstrad CPC, which was probably the 4th most popular home computer of the era, after ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 and BBC.

I went to the Living Computer Museum in Seattle recently. They had a great collection of home computers from that time, but the Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum were conspicuously absent. I met a local gaming group and they also had no idea about them.

Not that the CPC makes a big difference to your perspective (within the English-speaking world), as almost any good game originating on it was ported to Spectrum/C64. But you probably miss out on a few classics by not knowing about the Spectrum.

Pic related. It's Total Eclipse, an early fully 3D puzzle game, developed on Amstrad CPC, but widely ported.
