★ AMSTRAD CPC ★ GAMESLIST ★ REAKTOR ★ |
I was a big fan of the game Tetris! This game didn't have great graphics, it didn't offer a complex gameplay, it didn't have lots of different stages and you couldn't even win it - but nevertheless this game was really addictive. Millions of other Tetris players can surely confirm this. Mirrorsoft had already done a Tetris conversion for the CPC, but since I wanted to save the money I thought I could do my own Tetris version. It was supposed to become my second CPC game after Ghosthunters (well and after Arlesberg, but I don't really count that as a full game, it was just a big joke). It was mostly created in BASIC with a few Assembler routines for the display of the different shapes. I created a nice menu to define the keys and select the 9 difficulty levels. All the different Tetris shapes had a pseudo 3D look and were created at the start of the program (you can see how the different shapes are being created when you start the program). But the problem with this program was that I didn't know how to test where the falling Tetris shapes hit the floor or other shapes already lying on the floor. A couple of years later I created a working Tetris version called Chaotris. I didn't release it though, because I had added some extra shapes besides the original five shapes which made the game unplayable. For the planned bonus game Deadris for Rex and my unreleased game Rigor Mortis I didn't even start to program - somehow I wasn't very fortunate with converting Tetris to the CPC. ODIESOFT |

Page créée en 311 millisecondes et consultée 1545 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. |
