Amstrad Action |
Classic Axiens is yet another Calaxians mutant. However, I'm impressed. But I can see why the Bubble Bus people have retailed this as a budget game. The keys are re definable, though the preset ones were fine for me. You can choose a one- or two-player game. As with some versions of the arcade game Calaxians, the bullets move with the ship. This is at times an annoying feature when trying to dodge and shoot an attacking Axien. But it can, at times, be used to your advantage. The number of Axiens you face does not increase, only their speed and ingenuity - as if they needed more of that! The graphics, though blocky, are colourful but adequate, lacking in life and individuality. The sound is fair but nothing special. The sound of the bullets and explosions are similar to the arcade versions but lack that certain je ne sais quoi.
I hope the sales figure for this game is successful: it might encourage Bubble Bus and other software houses to start marketing cheap, quality games. Personally I'm fed up with saving up for a month to buy a game only to find it loses appeal before I've saved enough to buy another! CB, AMSTRAD ACTION n°16 |

Page créée en 293 millisecondes et consultée 2171 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. |
