Amstrad CPC
The ' ("" - which means "small computer" - being a rather literal German translation of the English "microcomputer") is a clone of the Amstrad CPC built by East Germany's ' in October 1989. Although the machine included various substitutes and emulations of an Amstrad CPC's hardware, the machine is largely compatible with Amstrad CPC software. It is equipped with 64 KB memory and a CPC6128's firmware customized to the modified hardware, including an unmodified copy of Locomotive BASIC 1.1. The KC compact is the last 8-bit computer produced in East Germany.
Newsfield
"Amtix!" was Newsfield's short-lived gaming magazine dedicated to the Amstrad CPC platform. Launched in November 1985 (although a special "issue zero" was given away with "Crash" and "Zzap!64"), it offered as much in-depth coverage of the Amstrad gaming scene as its sister magazines did for the Spectrum and C64. "Amtix!" was unable to compete with Amstrad Action, the leading publication for Amstrad CPC users; only 18 issues of "Amtix!" were published before Newsfield sold the magazine to Database Publications, who merged "Amtix!" features into their own publication, Computing With The Amstrad. CWTA was a general Amstrad CPC/PCW/PC magazine, which used Amtix as the brand for its games review section. CWTA later split into three single-format magazines including "Computing with the Amstrad CPC", and it was CWTACPC which continued using the Amtix name for its games section.
