View Larger Amstrad 464plus home computer with the controller from a Amstrad GX4000 game unit, the 464plus’ closest sibling by a different father.
The GX4000 was not a big seller, moving 15,000 units. From Wikipedia: James Harding of The Times said that the console was “promptly outgunned by the 16-bit Sega Mega Drive and Super Nintendo – it failed the cardinal test of entrepreneurship: stamina.”
The 464plus was equipped with 64 kB RAM and a cassette tape drive. The 464plus did not contain firmware inside the machine; Amstrad provided the firmware via the ROM extension facility, contained on the included Burnin’ Rubber and Locomotive BASIC cartridge. This resulted in reduced hardware localization cost (only some select key caps and case labels had to be localized) with the added benefit of a rudimentary copy protection mechanism (without a firmware present, the machine itself could not copy a game cartridge’s content).
