Amstrad 464 Plus & Games

Combining a decent (but decidedly failed) 8-bit console with an improved CPC 464 under the same sleek-for-the-time hood, the Amstrad 464 Plus was a lovely, well-priced micro that along with the 6128 Plus helped prolong the life of Amstrad's classic line well into the '90s. This particular 464 Plus currently being auctioned on eBay is a Spanish working version of the machine that comes with the Burnin' Rubber / BASIC cartridge, as well as several other mostly boxed yet untested games including Match Day II, Xevious, Oh Mummy, and Beach-Head.

Amstrad CPC 464 Plus

The Plus range was a very interesting idea both on paper and in the flesh, but Amstrad's turbo-boosted 8-bit systems --despite the cartridge ports, 4096 colors palettes, sprite handling chips, and all sorts of other extras-- could never compete with the reigning Amigas and STs. Still, the Plus machines make lovely retro micros today, and you can grab a finely preserved, cleaned, tested, and fully working one via this Amstrad 464 Plus eBay auction.
