Top 11: Terrible Amstrad CPC Games... A Fan's List.

Back in the days of the 8-bit wars, quality control was not a stringent as it is now, and many games were developed under restrictive conditions or tight deadlines, or the wrong programmer was chosen. Whatever the reasons, many games released were, to put it bluntly, total garbage. Honest fans of their respective systems will fondly look back on these mess of bytes, so here I give you my Top 11 Terrible Amstrad CPC Games. This list is a combination of my personal preference, magazine reviews and polls conducted in the Amstrad forums, and features a host of Youtube CPC fans including Xyphoe, Chinnyvision and Zoe Kirk-Robinson.
