Amstriv' is a quizz game for one or two players. The game features a noughts and crosses grid, the ability to load different question files, and multi-choice answers.

Typing in

There are two programs to type in. One is the main Amstriv' program, the other is “Amsave", the question editor/creator program. The Amstriv' program is a long one to type in and I recommend saving it at regular intervals in case of power failure or other disasters. I have used "REM” statements which are on the same line as commands, but leave in the ones at the beginning of routines.

When finished, save onto tape or disc and type in the Amsave program. Save Amsave on another cassette from Amstriv' then "run" Amsave and create your question file. Save the questions after the Amstriv' program. Be careful not to overwrite!

Playing the game ...

Reset the computer and 'run"Amstriv'. When Amstriv' has loaded it will ask you if you want a two player game. Answer Y or N. It will then start the tape again and load the question file. The file only loads in once so you can rewind the tape now.
For a one player game . . . use the keys 1, 2, 3 or 4 (or F1, F2. F3, F4) to choose your answer to the question. Beware! The answers are placed in random positions! If you get the answer correct a cross will appear in the centre of the 'X' and 'O' grid and you must choose another category by using the spacebar and the delete key.
If you get the answer wrong then the computer gets a 'O' and chooses a place to go.

For a two player game the rules are the same except player 2 uses the function keypad to choose his/ her answers. (Player 1 is always X's).

There are three 'rounds'to a game and all games are played against the clock. Points are given for correct answers and a bonus is given at the end of each round based on the time left. In a two player game you must try to beat your opponent to the correct answer.

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.
