As is fitting for the golden age of arcade games, a large portion of the CPC range was made up of conversions of one classic coin-op or another. The major British based software houses of the time would bid for some of the biggest arcade games of the time and a number of key relationships between arcade game manufacturers and companies were established.

The theory, of course, was that kids would develop a taste for these high spec games at their local arcade and consequently go home and pester mum and dad for either more money to play the game that little bit longer or demand a version that they could play at home - although a more expensive short term investment, buying the right arcade conversion could prove to be a better long term prospect for the prudent household!

The following games were ported onto the CPC and have been split into groupings based on their original arcade developer:
