It's a pity this pre-production version wasnt here a couple of weeks ago ; everyone seemed to be down with the lurgi. If only wed had Contamination then..
You've seen flighl simulations. you've seen business simulations - but an epidemic simulation - that's a new one . from the Ere lnfomatique incidentally, who are releasing their excellent games vla PSS in this country ln an Andromeda Strain type scenario. a constantly mutating virus has been brought to Earth via a space shot, and you are in control ol a team of scientists trying to contain/eliminate the virus and its virulent offspring. It may sound a bit dodgy, but I lound the game fascinating. Admittedly, at present the game stretches my French to its equally dodgy limits, but it goes something like this You are head of the World Health Organisation who are charged with attempting to stop the virus from killing everyone You do this by developing anti-virus préparations in your computer controlled lab. Ihen testing the potion for things like side effects - alternatively you can try them out on the population; if you feel lucky. The other side of the opération is carried out on a world map. where you receive information about the virus's progress. etc. You can place restrictions on infected area, even nuke them if things get out of control. but the lafter doesn't make you flavour of the month with the locals Naturally there's a lot more to it than that, but I think it's likely that this intriguing mix of puzzle and strategy is going to appeal to more than Amstrad 0wn1ng Biochemists. The En-glish version should be ready by late July. PopularComputingWeekly |

Page créée en 704 millisecondes et consultée 7799 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. |
