Amstrad Action |
It's dark. You Walk cautiously through the underground tunnels, sword at the ready. Suddenly an ore appears - automatically the sword flashes in an arc, cleaving the hideous creature's skull in two. Then there's a brief haze as the body magically decomposes into nothingness... ...Seen from the cockpit, two bandits come in fast at six o'clock. The lead spits from the barrel of the machine gun, and one of the enemy bursts into a crimson ball of fire. The other manoeuvers itself onto your tail. You try every trick it the book, but you just can't shake it off. You're hit, your vision goes red... ...Now the enemy surrounds you, pinning you down with and lobbing grenades. You're only chance is to keep moving through the hostile jungle terrain... if you can just reach the jeep... ...But a thousand oriental warriors are coming at you from all sides. The death stars leave your hands at a frightening pace, mowing them down like flies. There's a stairwell somewhere around, taking you to another equally tortuous level of the temple. But where is it...? ...Just a minute, what's going on? The scenario's a bit mixed up, isn't it? Well, yes. That's because it's not one game, but four. Quattro Combat is a compilation of four previously released Codemasters games. They're linked together through one theme: violence. All of the games pit you against overwhelming odds, which you have to overcome by inflicting all manner of death and destruction. At under 75 pence a game, it's difficult to see how anybody could be disappointed with this compilation. Although tied loosely together with the combat theme, the games are generically different enough to make them all worth playing in their own right. All are good too, being the cream of the crop from the Codies' back catalogue. Combat will have something for everybody. Whether you're into fantasy, planes, ninjas or straightforward warfare, there's something here to suit. Sure, the games may not be state-of-the-art, but for three quid, you get four very decent games at a very decent price.

Page créée en 452 millisecondes et consultée 1917 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. |
