The Amstrad CPC came with a monitor, making it look serious. Shame most people only used it to load tapes for 15 minutes and play Chuckie Egg. #Amstrad #CPC464 #RetroGaming #80sComputers #8bit

I genuinely think that the CPC had the best colour palette though. They often used the CPC screen shots on the back of other 8-bit platform's cassettes.
