The first of its kind for the [[Amstrad CPC|CPC]], '''10 Computer Hits''' featured ten games from various different publishers re-released for just over the price of a new release - a revelation for the time and a big seller too!

== '''Trivia''' ==

*'''10 Computer Hits''' was supported by a television campaign in the UK, a unique move that set the title apart and doubtless helped to shift a number of extra units.

*The disk version of this compilation featured only 6 games and, as the title of '''10 Computer Hits''' fell woefully short, this version was released as [[6 Computer Hits]] and has its own lineage.

*Beau Jolly also released the title on the [[Commodore 64|C64]] & [[ZX Spectrum]] but with different line-ups. The [[ZX Spectrum]] version contained the following games: [[Brian Jacks Superstar Challenge]]; [[Chuckie Egg]]; ''Jasper''; [[Project Future]]; ''Overlords''; [[Wriggler (Romantic Robot)|Wriggler]]; [[Harrier Attack]]; [[Braxx Bluff]]; ''Skool Daze'' & ''The Sorcerer of Claymorgue Castle''

*The [[Commodore 64|C64]] version meanwhile featured the following titles: [[Brian Jacks Superstar Challenge]]; ''Ancipital''; ''Seaside Special''; ''Jinn Genie''; [[Special Operations]]; [[Harrier Attack]]; [[Hustler]]; [[Chuckie Egg]]; ''Space Pilot'' & ''The Sorcerer of Claymorgue Castle''
