List of Speccy Ports

An almost-definite list of what the author considers to be Blatant (and subpar) Spectrum Ports to the CPC. A Youtube playlist of footage of most of these (apart from ones marked with an Asterisk) is available here.

Note that not all games that use limited-colour palettes appear here. Some games make wonderful use of Mode 1 despite the lack of colours and are thus excluded (for example, Laser Squad). And although Rick Dangerous, for example, uses the same codebase between the Amstrad and Spectrum versions (to the extent that the same bugs appear in both), the luscious redrawn Mode 0 graphics in the former also exclude it from this list.
