There's a good chance that if you remember the Munsters, what you are really remembering is the Addams Family (idiot! - ed). This confusion notwithstanding, the cast of the oldie prog appear in this budget game. It is set at 1313 Mockingbird Ave, their scary home. The house has been invaded by various Ghosts, Ghouls and Undead folk. Marilyn, the Munsters' little (when did you last get your eyes tested? - ed) girl has been kidnapped by these ectoplasmic nasties. You, as Lily the Vampire, must firstly free Herman (remember them all now?) and Grandpa. Next you control them to find Eddie and Marilyn.
The characters have little fireballs which need to be aimed up or down to throw at the spooks. Spooks killed add to the spell power of the person you control. What this spell power does is a bit of a mystery, as it is very difficult to get off the first level to utilise it. This is the biggest problem; the game is very hard. No matter how many ghouls you dispose of, more appear and sap your energy until you die. The graphics are large but can get confusing, and the receptiveness of the joystick isn't perfect. This contributes to the difficulty considerably. The Munsters line plays continually (you're thinking of Addams Family again!) and the bish-bash noises are fine. All would be quite acceptable for a budget game if it was possible to progress easily. A game like this should get harder the further you go, but The Munsters is difficult from the outset. Still not a bad game when all's said and done, though. It does get better, but you'll have to really persevere to find out. James Leach, AA |

Page créée en 374 millisecondes et consultée 3134 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. |
