The evil wizard Ryu, better watch out, because there's a flame throwing Russian headed in his direction. Karnov is that Russian and wizard bashing is not all he's after there's also the lost treasure of Babylon that was taken by Ryu

Across the bottom of the screen is a row of icons that are initially empty, but you'll get an opportunity to fill them later The time left 3S also displayed there and at the top of the screen your score is shown. The rest of the screen is taken up with a four way scrolling playing area, in which you will encounter the minions of Ryu.

Big bird tike creatures, ostrich nding skeletons, sword wielding figures in robes and rock throwers are some of the foes that you will encounter Collision with them loses you a life, exua lives are gained by collecting letter K's.

There are 10 items that you can collect other than the K's and they are apples, boots, bombs, ladders, boomerangs, flames, wings, helmet, mask and trolley. Apples increase your firepower for extra destructive power The other nine appear as icons at the bottom of the screen. The boots give you more powerful ieaps and a faster movement rate Bombs can be used to blow anything up and the lad der gets you climbing up the screen If you throw a boomerang, don't forget to catch it.

Sound effects are average, the best being the lightning bolt from which you materialize, and tunes are non-existent. The graphics lack colour and the scrolling is not particularly smooth Animation is very jerky too and at times there is flicker.

Ifs another in the long line of scrolling shoot em-ups where you charge around on legs instead of flying a space ship The mufti-load facility does enable it to have many lev els, but at the end of the day it s nothing new

SECOND OPINION

Why haven't software houses got the massage about restart points yet? It is infuriating to get through hordes of monsters only to make a mistake and get sent way back down the level That's the main problem with what is otherwise a reasonable arcade game, full of lots of action and challenges.

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.
