The current trend for racing unsuitable vehicles against each other is reflected with this Outrun style 3D road game. Here, you are invited to belt across Europe from city to city in 30 tons of rolling iron. The "Supertrux Trophy" is at stake! The cities hover enticingly on the horizon, but like many such games, are never actually reached. However, each does have at least one feature akin to the actual place, making them all different and in many cases recognizable. London has Big Ben, Paris the Eiffel Tower and so on. There is competition from computer controlled slower trucks, which are limited to obstructing your progress. Other obstacles include piles of abandoned tyres, standing water and traffic cones. This, together with the juggernauts thundering along mindlessly, reminds one of many a real motorway. Hills crop up from time to time, and if you aren't careful you run the risk of hitting whatever is lurking on the other side. However there are occasional signposts to warn you of corners and approaching junctions. One route usually results in a rough ride along twisting, debris-littered roads, the other is a faster highway...
The graphics are bright and clean. Your truck is big, and continually rocks from side to side like a 2CV going over a cattle grid, and large advertising hoardings flash by on each side of the road. Your 30-ton monster unfortunately sounds like a pinking moped when at speed, but crashes with a nice graunching noise. Supertrux works well - and if you're good at it you can see a lot of European cities for £2.99. James Leach , AA |

Page créée en 061 millisecondes et consultée 3194 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. |
