The Amstrad GX4000 was a cartridge-based game console derived from the CPC Plus computer architecture. It featured enhanced graphics and hardware sprites compared to earlier CPC models.

Description & Screenshots

The GX4000 was Amstrad’s only dedicated home console. Despite solid hardware and arcade-style games, it failed commercially due to late release and strong competition from 16-bit systems like the Mega Drive and SNES.
