This article is to deal with softwares that actually use the Extra RAM banks as featured in the CPC6128 or amsttrad 6128Plus, or any 464 or 664 settings with [[Standard Memory Expansions]].

The title of this article is open to debates and may be changed once a proper term is found.

=HISTORY IN THE MAKING=
+
 
+
==Common Beliefs==
+
 
+
Despite the short lived CPC664, the Amstrad 8 bit ranges are divided into 464 and 6128.
+
 
+
It is an old Debate to tell wether the Extra RAM is to be used or not.
+
 
+
And from countries to other, many Amstrad user's actually have only 64K configurations...
+
 
+
The moot point was that 6128 was useless as only a small little handfull of softwares actually used it, thus only the Demoscene and hardcore coders could see any advantage in it.
+
 
+
But actually no one knew how many softwares actually used the extra RAM banks nor how ? in which purpose ?
+
 
+
==Modern Scene production==
+
 
+
As put in evidence when RickDangerous 128+ was released.
+
 
+
Some users complained that they only had a 464+ and couldn't run the game.
+
 
+
But Fano (Eastereggs team) shown the Amstrad world that the proper use of the extra RAM Bank could lead to radical improuvement in Games.
+
 
+
 
+
Many  Demoscener also consider the 6128 configuration to be the minimum.
+
 
+
 
+
StarSabre lead to some debate wether it should be only 64K or get a better 128K version, and got it.
+
 
+
The debate is also on wether should a production use even more than 128k Ram or not.
+
 
+
==A difficult Task==
+
 
+
To set the definitive and complete list was then a necessity as so many Flamewars featuring Speccyfanz and C64fanz implied that the power of the CPC6128 was a Chimera and that "only perhaps 10 softwares maximum" did actually use it.
+
 
+
This list was done by [[Kukulcan]] (with little help from friends : Hi [[Hermol]] !) on the Website '''CPCpower''' after the topic was launched at '''CPCrulez''''s Forum on an idea from [[MacDeath]].. (See links at the end of this page)
+
 
+
It is sorted in alphabetical order and in French at the moment.
+
 
+
It is to be perhaps sorted with more subcategory to fit the CPCwiki..
+
 
+
