I remember playing 2 games on my Amstrad CPC:

1) In the first game, I was a cowboy. The game was sort of a side-scrolling platform. In the very first level, at the far left, there was a cave.

2) In the second one, I remember being a oldier with a light grey (metallic?) space suit. This was a side-scrolling action game. A word like "Commander" or "Command" was likely to be in the title... but searching on MG gave no useful results.

Can you help me remember the title, please?

How thoroughly did you look in Moby? The Amstrad list is not so big that you cant check every name...How about Soldier of Light for the second one?

Infact I'm almost sure these games are not in the database yet. However, no, it is not Soldier Of Light.

Ok. The first one wouldn't have been Cowboy Kidz?

mmh, no. Judging by screenshots it is not a sidescrolling game, but a top-down one.

Lucky Luke?

Some of the shots seems to be side-scrolling...

mmh, no, it's not... you know, something like "space cowboys"... or at least they looked like that.

None of them, unfortunately! And I can't add much more details... but I just think it is Space Crusade (I remember the title screen being like that, with a soldier's close-up).
