Physics, like its counterpart Chemistry, has one thing basically incorrect with the packaging, or rather the information displayed. It is not up to O-level standard. Maybe 12-to 14-year-olds will appreciate this but not 16-year-olds - that is, if they wish to pass. Apart from that, slightly more effort has gone into Physics; the questions are not as ambiguous, not quite as many spelling errors, and it actually accepts my answers (if they are correct, of course). Physics has a nine-option menu to choose from. Each option has a notes section as with Chemistry. They are, however, slightly more substantial. If you don't wish to read the notes, you can go straight into the question section. AGE 12-16 Again, once all the questions have been answered, there is nothing more to be gained from the package. It would have been quite simple to include extra questions that could be loaded up whenever required. In that way, the user would aquire a much broader knowledge of the topic at hand. What would have been nice was a graph showing how well you had done after answering the questions from all the topics, possibly giving you an average mark at the same instant. Slowly but surely the educational market is coming to its senses. If you compare the titles reviewed here with those back in the April issue of AA - well, there can be no comparison; real progress is being made. AMSTRAD ACTION #15 |

Page créée en 873 millisecondes et consultée 1447 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. |
