Further emphasising the excellence synonymous with the name on the game, this superb implementation is uncannily close to the real thing. The challenge to improve your performance at the table bccomcs overpowering as your full sized problems are reflected on the small scrcen. Having neither cue to chalk nor chalk to loose, setting a small black cursor cross determines all the angles. Speedy movement and fine control arc both incorporated as the cursor has a two speed gear-box. Allied to this is the automatic return to the blue ball position at the centre of the table, giving the shortest distance across the cloth to any position required. A wide-ranging linear display at the bottom of the screen sets up the power of the shot from genteel to pleasc-can-I-have-my-ball-back. Strength is set to half-power before each players turn. The third parameter controls the spin on the cue ball. Displayed at the bottom of the screen as a large white circle representing the cue ball, on which the spin cursor, another cross-sight is positioned. This facility enables back spin, top or bottom to be applied to the cue ball with devastating effect upon a lesser opponent. A one player game allows for all those hours of practice that Steve has done and you have been promising yourself. Shots can be re-set and played again — a very helpful facility.

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. |
