It's hard to believe I know, but this really is a version of that grand daddy of all computer games Space Invaders. Quite rightly it's a budget title, but I get the sneaking suspicion that there will be a fair number of people keen to have a go at this old classic. For those who have been living in a Tibetan monastery for the last few years and don't know what Invaders is, I'll give a quick summary. You control a single shot laser base that can be moved left and right at the bottom of the screen. Above you appear a phalanx of aliens who shuttle across the screen, moving down and getting faster every time they hit the edge. Between the two forces are three shields that you can hide under. The aliens shoot at you and you shoot at the aliens - they always win but you've got to survive as long as possible.
If you destroy one wave another materialises, lower and faster than before. The only other thing that appears is a spaceship that whizzes across the top of the screen and can be shot for a bonus score. That's all there is to it but even today it will still get the adrenalin pumping and needs good reflexes. The graphics are much more colourful than the original with some nice aliens and explosions. There are also some jolly little musical bursts thrown in and a high score table that you can save for posterity. No prizes at all for originality, but if you're looking for nostalgia or a classic, mindless blast then you might want to shell out the few pennies for it. BW, AA |

Page créée en 030 millisecondes et consultée 3622 fois L'Amstrad CPC est une machine 8 bits à base d'un Z80 à 4MHz. Le premier de la gamme fut le CPC 464 en 1984, équipé d'un lecteur de cassettes intégré il se plaçait en concurrent du Commodore C64 beaucoup plus compliqué à utiliser et plus cher. Ce fut un réel succès et sorti cette même années le CPC 664 équipé d'un lecteur de disquettes trois pouces intégré. Sa vie fut de courte durée puisqu'en 1985 il fut remplacé par le CPC 6128 qui était plus compact, plus soigné et surtout qui avait 128Ko de RAM au lieu de 64Ko. |
