VOLCANIC Nemesis, whose Arnold Blackwood adventures have acquired something of a cult following, have launched another adventure in the series titled Angelique. It offers the near unique opportunity to play an adventure from the perspective of gasp, more outlandish than trolls and elves... a woman. As Angelique, your task is to survive trials and tribulations and meet up with Arnold with whom you have, well something or other anyway. The authors claim that the fact that you are female means more in this game than merely your name - it is germane to the solution of many of the problems. In practice - as far as I got anyway - this tends to mean that a fairly shallow male view of women's emotions, responses and interests pervades. Angelique is dressed in black leather skirt, black stockings, silk blouse, etc, like a caricature of a French resistance woman - she is also much given to coyness. However, there is much to recommend about the adventure; after all, the fact that Angelique comes over with any personality at all even if it is a stereotype is a step up from the usual adventure. Similarly, the solution to many of the problems is deliciously ludicrous - the very first problem of how to get out of the volcano being a case in point. The screen layout is a lesson to others as ever proving that text adventures don't have to look dull, so 1 recommend it highly. But if you are a woman you may find that you have to grit your teeth a lot. Popular Computing Weekly |

Page créée en 072 millisecondes et consultée 2826 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. |
