GX4000



The GX4000 is Amstrad's sole attempt at entering the console market. Based on the architecture of their own CPC Plus computer line, the GX4000 offered enhanced graphics capabilities and was compatible with most CPC Plus software. Needless to say, the system failed spectacularly, mostly due to bad marketing and timing (market was already dominated by Nintendo at that point), so Amstrad quietly discontinued the system and went back to their home computers. Only 27 games were made for the system.
