*Bivouac / chamonix challence from infogrames also had a TO8 version with almost exact same graphics as Amstrad's.
 
It is to notice that as TO8 featured a 4096 colours palette and the same resolutions/Video modes as CPC, the French developpers already had the experience when dealing with Amstrad Plus extended palette.
 
As a result, if upgrading those games for the Amstrad Plus, just getting the exact same graphics as the TO8's counterpart would be enough.
Examples :
*Jim PowersPower - In Mutant Planet by Loriciels (1992)
*l'aigle d'Or 2
On the other hand OCEAN managed a lot of good stuff despite using Speccy/Amstrad crossdev.
Advantages were the shared Z80 CPU and also the AY sopundchip soundchip (with latter speccy 128), and the fact Amstrad Mode1 was somewhat nearly compatible with speccy graphics.
