How many surrealists does it take to change a light bulb? A fish. It's this kind of humour that pervades that recently re-released old chestnut Head Over Heels. Yes, the game Dali would have been proud to write is back, and for only £2.99. From the school of Isometric 3D - quite a trend in its time -comes a story involving two small creatures charging through room after room of some programmer's nightmare. Head and Heels, the two characters, can do everything you'd expect from arcade adventurers. It's where they run and jump, what they carry etc. that's the important bit.
The worlds the two brave 'things'charge around are the real stars of the show. There's Penitentiary planet - a prison world where you'll need to climb like a mad thing to survive. Safari Land - densely wooded, full of natives and full of traps. West World - where the Mad Emperor (against whom you're struggling) keeps his library of Zane Grey novels and Blacktooth, the final planet, teleport terminus for the empire. Head Over Heels is a great example of a genre that has passed on into the mists of time - unjustly, perhaps. Programmed well, it plays excellently and if you feel the need to escape football or alien-bashing this summer it may be just what you've been looking for. TW, AA |

Page créée en 409 millisecondes et consultée 9673 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. |
