When the going gets tough, the tough play Heroes. But away your Elevenses, this is no time for milk and biscuits. Plug in this masterpiece and you're on a non-stop route to hell and back with four of the biggest action blasts to date. Set over three different scenarios, Licence to Kill will have you leaping from helicopters, onto planes, swimming for your life, waterski-ing and finally, taking on the fleet of big-wheel trucks as Sanchez makes a break for the border. Graphically excellent, this Bond classic will have you on the edge of your seat at all times, but if the suave and sophisticated approach of 007 is not your style, try beefing it up in Barbarian II instead. At the end of the last Barbarian epic, you'd just rescued the Princess Mariana from a fate worse than death. Now you've got to take her back into the Dungeons of Drax to do away with the baddie himself. You can decide whether to play the barbarian or the princess, whichever way you are inclined, and the idea is to battle your way through three maze levels before breaking into the Inner Sanctum. Get used to the joystick movements first, then keep your eyes open for the magical objects strewn around the screens which you need to survive in this inclement atmosphere. The opposition, in the form of some fearsome and foul beasts, is tough enough to deter the most ardent of warriors, but if you thoughtthat was bad enough, wait until you reach the final level. Pick up the skulls to gain much needed extra lives and start hacking in this superb all-round smash-em-up. Moving onto the bright lights and razzle dazzle of the game show world, here's your chance to take on the role of Ben Richards, a man wrongly accused of a crime he didn't commit, a man desperate to prove his innocence; the Running Man. If you haven't seen the film, don't worry, there's plenty of action to keep you glued to your screen. Take on the likes of the Iceman, Buzzsaw and Dynamo in your efforts to escape from the four game zones. Your final quest is to break back into the studio and finish off that scumball show host Damon Killian. In the meantime, you'll also be helping the rebel forces by deciphering the up-link code between levels in this fast moving, kicking, punching future shock. Combining frantic screen action with some marvellous sound effects. Star Wars is a brilliant game in its own right, but to round off this excellent compilation, its worth its weight in gold.

Page créée en 436 millisecondes et consultée 2802 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. |
