This page is here to catalogue screen comparisons of games or software between CPC versions and other systems.
Such comparisons is quite often a great way to spot the Cross devs or ports from systems to otherS.
Feel free to get this page to evolve, and have more contents. Homemade comparisons pictures are prefered. Please never use .jpg files, only .png or comparable formats that would not destroy the pixel art.
Many of those can be found on the web in the 8-16 BIT wars flavoured dramas/blogs/forums.
