Dingbat is an American colloquialism for anything from a baseball to a Saturn rochet, just so long as it flies. In this program your dingbat comes with 16 levels of difficulty for you to tackle. Strictly for fun, this is a flight simulation, but decidedly more down to earth than some. No need to flap when you open the instruction booklet cither. Prop up the map, open the throttles, release the brakes, raise the flaps and fly away. The switches and dials built into this Y-model crate arc clear and functional, without any luxury refinements, like radio or television. Airborne contortionists just fly this thrilljerker from the feel of the controls. These are either partly keyboard and joystick, or if yours is the Mk 1 model then just use the keyboard. As an aid to fledgling fliers a cheat key allows instand course changes of 180 degrees, letting you terminate your life in from of the loved ones which have just seen you off. Should you actually make a safe landing, re-fueling is followed by another sortie and another chance to self-destruct. Back down to earth, it must be said that the landmarks viewed through the forward cockpit window are few and far between. The infantile graphics detract from an otherwise enjoyable trip. Though not to be confused with serious aeronautics, this program is a lot of fun and will keep you at it for hours. Not recommended for anyone with a serious heart condition. D.H. , HCW |

Page créée en 373 millisecondes et consultée 4054 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. |
