Desde luego, aunque hacerse con los controles tenía lo suyo. Algunos juegos de Amsoft, como el de los rallies, también me dieron muy buenos ratos: eran tan cutres que daban ternura.

No, I was expecting a spectrum like my cousin and was a bit confused about what the box of tapes with a load of Amsoft games was

We had an Amstrad PCW 8512 (my mum's) and a ZX Spectrum +3 (mine) at the same time, so we had way more of those Amsoft 3" disks than any normal family would see in a lifetime.

Iceland didn't get the rights for the Doctor Who remake, but they did a deal with Amsoft and won the much sought rights on the TV adaptation of Roland In Time.

También estaba Animal, Vegetal, Mineral de Amsoft, lo regalaban con los ordenadores Amstrad. Preguntaba para adivinar en qué estabas pensando y aprendía de tus respuestas para nuevas preguntas. Lo divertido era responder chorradas que preguntaba después. Era 1986.

I recently got my crayons out to celebrate that 'Amsoft' pack of games as I'm sure a lot of kids would have been gifted it for Christmas along with their Amstrad CPC464 back in the day!

Loved this 16k game on my beloved old Speccy back in the day so thought I'd quickly make a new cover for it... 🖍️

An Amstrad CPC 464 computer with colour monitor, DK’tronics light pen, Amsoft JY-2 joystick, and a copy of the manual. With 64k of memory, a built in tape-drive and the colour monitor, it was the complete 8-bit home computer solution. Its wide variety of games, serious software, Locomotive BASIC built in and CPM 2.2 compatibility made it far superior to the limited Commodore 64 or Sinclair Spectrum.

Post the first video game you played

Possibly my mum's Game & Watch games, or a self contained desktop pacman, but in terms of games being a programme on a computer, it's Doors of Doom on the Amstrad
A loading screen for Doors of Doom, on the Amsoft.

I dont even talk about my Amstrad Era. No one ever knows what I'm on about.
The amstrad CPC 6128. A home computer from the mid 80s that ran basic and cobol programs from bespoke floppy disks. Or a cassette tape player if you connected one up. The monitor is black and white with with a green cast, so even though the games are color you will never know what color they are other than green. A rectangular floppy disk for the The amstrad CPC 6128. The name is slightly confusing as the floppy data storage is inside the hard plastic shell. The label reads: SIDE 1 Amsoft ROLAND ON THE ROPES SOFT 1118 Indescomp SOFT 1118 To run this program, type in: RUN "DISC" then press ENTER The box for the advanced OCP art studio by Rainbird. An art program. My first one I spent so much time inside this thing over years of my teenage life Depicted on the cover is a somewhat surrealist image of clouds over a calm sea and infront of that are two Greek statues a large sandstone head in the sky and a smaller full length classical marble statue in the foreground. The main art menu for the Ocp advanced art studio. There is a sample image of bubbles over a checker board. Implying an a ability to do ray tracing that this program very much did not have.

What a shame that Amsoft couldn't get Alex Higgins to endorse Alex Higgins' Hurricane Snooker and Pool for the Amstrad, so had to get Mark E Smith from the fall instead.

Advertised 40 years ago back in March 1985 : Now Amstrad gives you over £100 to play with.

Or thats about half a Commodore 64 back in 1985. 😁

Happy Roland Day! A very special day in the calendar where we celebrate the iconic Roland character from Amsoft. All other videogame characters are just poor imitations.

Amstrad presumably bought a great big bulk of drives, cause they used them in the CPC 664, the early WPC range and the Spectrum +3

I love games packaged in 3 inch jewel cases. Not just Amsoft titles. Tau Ceti came like this and looked great. I don't want massive cardboard boxes. The whole point of 3 inch was they could have jewel cases and I found it baffling more publishers didn't take advantage instead.

Amsoft lived up to their reputation with these gems. Packaged to the minimum and ship’em. All hail the Lord!

Two Amsoft games for the Amstrad CPC on 3” disc.
