Description
While the Amstrad GX4000 failed commercially, that doesn't mean it was a bad console -- it's a great 8-bit machine that simply didn't have the support it needed. In this first video, we'll be looking at the GX4000's story, examining why it didn't succeed, busting some myths, checking out the 10 best original commercial games, a couple of stinkers and some holy grails. Enjoy!
