Revision as of 13:30, 3 March 2023

This page is not to refer you to pirated or abandoned software, but rather point you to sources that you can still obtain new or old physical or digital software legally.

The Amstrad CPC community is fairly strong almost 40 years since the CPC was first release with dozens of games released yearly. Some of these are commercial releases and this page should hopefully point you to the publishers websites and/or online stores that sell these games. Everyone knows the benefits of buying software when you can, and in smaller markets such as the CPC one - supporting the few remaining publishers is even more important.

Of course not every game author releases their games commercially, some are freely available and some are released as part of a competition that has been ongoing for several years called CPCRetroDev.
