I find it really endearing for some reason.  I think the lack of sprite and scrolling hardware makes me really impressed when I see anything running half-decent on it.  I have a soft spot for the ST for the same reason.  I do like checking out random games in emulation just to see how they are.  Anything that's not a Spectrum port is fun to find.

I'm not American, but the Amstrad CPC was my first gaming machine. I see you're 24 years old (born in 96)... I played the machine pretty intensively from 1989 to 1992.

I had the 6128: 3 inch disks instead of cassettes and a color monitor. Both were impressive at the time: most kids had the 464 (cassette version) and around half of them had a green monitor, without colors.

Most of my games were pirated versions, around 5-10 per disk.

There were many Spanish games for the system including one graphical masterpiece (The Abbey of Crime) and the "father of prince of persia" (Sir Fred), but my favorite ones were British: Matchday 2, Saboteur I and II... Bruce Lee (which I later learned is American) ran smoothly on the system and there was a decent but slow version of Yie Ar Kung Fu.
