A simple isometric using the amstrad CPC specifications and Palette limitations.

 

Mode 0 "overscan" screen in 192x272x16

The 16 colours are chosen from 27 (3x3x3 RGB cube)

Pixels are supposed to be 2x1 ratio in this mode ( artificially doubled for this internet friendly version)

What do you think?

Nothing to actually "emulate"...

You can use Graphix2 with an "Amstrad CPC" friendly setting per exemple.

You just need to be accurate with the palette, the "video modes" too : resolution, number of colours and pixel ratio.

And that's it mostly, perhaps you can also put some video tricks to have more colours onb screen (Rasters, split rasters ,etc...).

 

You can find most informations at CPCwiki, there :

 I adore the look of  Amstrad CPC graphics. Maybe I could learn one day to emulate it.

The blue with yellow letters screen is a nod to the "Basic" original seting, yet somewhat scaled up with artificial scanlines effect.A true amstrad displayed on a true original monitors used to have actually not a lot of scanline effect compaired to some Arcade or even low res EGA.

(Also the pixels weren't angular/square... but this is the general way on those CRT monitors)

 

Again, this picture is supposed to be displayed on a real machine.

 

but I admit it is not as refined as so many stuffs posted here.
