Looking at that brings back memories of a dodgy console my aunt brought me from South Africa. Thinking about it i'm sure it was a NES clone and i only had one of those 100(?)-1 carts. would love to still have that - might be worth something

I don't know if it's worth something? I guess not. I still have mine in its original box.

Here's an auction that finishes in 7 hours.

, i meant the NES clone! I wouldnt have thought those amstrads were even worth that much!

DOH!!!

That Amstrad console did look quite cool. The redesigned CPC+ range did look good. However trying to redesign something that was already way out of date was never going to sell well. In fact, even though I had own a CPC464 as my first computer for years, but the time the CPC+ range was released I had already owned an ST and Amiga for years and hadn't even realised the CPC was still being sold.

Didn't the CPC+ range have slightly updated system specs? More sound channels and better graphics?

And it's always been a similar story when other hardware makers have trying to do a similar thing. Look at the Commodore 64 Games System as another similar example of a failing system, or the CD32. They never seem to learn that when you already have a successful home computer platform, cutting it down and re-releasing it as a limited console doesn't work.

The CPC464+ could display the 640 x 200 resolution in color, the non + only in monochrome. Soundchip was the same: General Instruments AY-3-8912.
