A "Mac or Windows like " interface... Mostly with a "mouse pointer" and menues.
Also called [[GUI]].
This wasn't so well used on [[Amstrad CPC :*lack of Mouse.*Expensive on [[Z80|CPU]] ressources.:
But many games used such an interface*lack of Mouse :few models existed, but because it was a Joystick instead of a proper mousenot alway compatibles...it sucked and was often a source of slow gameplay (See *Expensive on [[Hero QuestZ80|CPU]])ressources or speed : the mouse Pointer is like a sprite and using the Joystick to move it is painfully slow and lack precision.
As a result, Keyboards short cut may be more appropriate on an Amstrad CPC.
But some games used such an interface, but because it was a Joystick instead of a proper mouse... it sucked and was often a source of slow gameplay (See [[Hero Quest]]).
Yet, interesting stuff were made on   ==GUI Amstrad CPC Games==*[[Pirates!|Sid Meyer's Pirates!]] :Joystick pseudo Mouse pointer and menues.*[[Hero Quest]] : a Populous like interface. ==GUI Amstrad CPC OS==
*[[SymbOS]]
