    Did anyone have an Enterprise 128? I have never, ever met anyone who did.

      No, I wouldn't touch one due to its association with David Levy.

                        Surely you have multiple CPCs already?

                            To be fair that’s probably all the CPC you’ll need as it’s what most of the demos and homebrew seems to target.

                              It was developed by a British company[Intelligent Software] between 1982-1983 -- and has a lot in common with the Amstrad CPC -- but the 128k model didn't start shipping until 1985 and that really went against it. It didn't manage to compete well with the attractive packages Amstrad were offering during the same period, so it was quite a flop in the end.





                              It's easy to port Amstrad games to the Enterprise, as shown by these two. Also, modern homebrew Amstrad games have been ported well.

                                Some of the games look eye-poppingly stunning for an 8-bit:
