DANGER! ADVENTURER AT WORK 1 (Amstrad Action) |
Hey, Brechtian alienisation or what? fn this adventure you play the part of an adventurer, and you're desperately looking for a quiet place to hide so that you can play your adventures to your heart's content - now that's something I can really relate to. It was written by Simon Avery, using The Quill and is a text only adventure. Danger Adventurer At Work 2 has also been released and was reviewed in AA89.
Although this adventure has been out (or some time, somehow it slipped the AA reviewing net, and since, in my opinion, it is one of Simon's best adventures, I feel that it's well worth correcting tins oversight. Personally, I think Danger is irresistible and quite challenging. The puzzles themselves are pitched at just the right level, not too easy an not too hard, making it an ideal choice (or anyone looking (or a game they can immerse themselves in (or an hour or two. There are loads of characters you'll bump into, and if you're perceptive you might notice that many of them bear certain similarities with personalities on the Amstrad scene, such as the witch hanging around looking thoroughly miserable who is obviously... (we'll Stop it there, thank you - M's libel lawyer), Unfortunately unless you are familiar with them the jokes will go straight your head. Nevertheless there's plenty of the usual, less in-jokey humour associated with Simon's games, which I'm sure you will enjoy. If you're lucky enough to make it to the beach, be very nice to the young lady with the inner tube that you find there, as it is supposed to be ME! You will also come across certain parts of the body like a left leg, and you end up wondering who the hell wouldn't miss their one of legs? It's not an adventure that will have you stuck for ages; most of the puzzles are quite logical, but there is a point of no return, and if you haven't got the right object with you I'm afraid it's back to the beginning, so make sure that you save frequently! The price seems reasonable enough, making Danger an ideal adventure for anyone looking for a game that's not too heavy, but not a doddle, either. AA |

Page créée en 225 millisecondes et consultée 1552 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. |
