]Converted from the Spectrum, Dynamite Dan is Mirrorsoft's highly successful platform game. Our hero has to steal some secret plans from the Evil Doctor Blitzen in order to stop him using his super psychon mega-ray which would give him world domination. The game starts with DD having landed his dirigible on the Doctor's roof and all he has to do is enter the house, find eight sticks of dynamite, blow up the safe, get the plans and escape back to his blimp. Easy! There are 48 screens to be explored but it feels like many more as every one is action packed. There are usually several areas on each screen that can only be accessed from other screens so careful planning of your route is necessary. The rooms wrap around to form a cylinder. In other words, if you keep going left, you will eventually come back to where you started from. A nice touch is that the screens overlap slightly so that if you are standing on a block on the righthand edge of a screen As well as the dynamite, you will have to find food to sustain your energy. There are also other objects lying around such as test tubes that give you an extra life (you will certainly need them) and deodorants which let you walk through nasties without any damage to yourself. The nasties disappear if you hit them so that you can only be killed by them once. There are trampolines for you to bounce on and an underground river that has to be negotiated by means of a raft. There is nothing start-lingly original in Dynamite Dan and it does not have the class of games such as Monty on the Run but it is enjoyable and one that platform fans will want to have in their collection.

Page créée en 510 millisecondes et consultée 2567 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. |
