Computing with the Amstrad |
FUN Factors, which is based on one of the most popular arcade-type games, is an educational game designed to give the player an entertaining way of learning about single digit factors. The object is to spot all the factors of a random number selected by the computer, and then to demonstrate both your mathematical and playing skills. Your man has to climb the ladders, walk along the walls, jump the gaps -at the same time avoiding the rolling rocks, which will crush him. Scattered around the screen are nine balloons, numbered 1 to 9. While moving around the screen, your man has to burst all the balloons which are not factors of the number selected by the computer, by walking under them. If he tries to walk under a balloon which is a factor, he loses a life. He will often have to climb up one ladder and down another when a factor is blocking the way. When only the balloons numbered with factors remain, you have to move your man to the top wall, jump the gap and touch the large 8 at the top left of the screen. The computer will then check that you have correctly burst all the non-factor balloons, select a new number and reset the screen. Should you have missed any, the computer will tell you so, in which case you will have to return to these and burst them. You score 50 points for each balloon burst, with a bonus of 100 points when you teach the top and only factors remain on the screen. Lose three lives and your game is over. You can gain thinking time to work out the factors by parking your man half-way up a ladder or on sections of walls where the rocks do not roll. There are three levels of play and you automatically progress to level 2 when your score reaches 350 and to level 3 when it reaches 1000. The high score of the current set of games is displayed at the end of each game. You are given a choice of keys. Press Space to make your man jump and a movement key with Space to jump a gap. CWTA |

Page créée en 568 millisecondes et consultée 1025 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. |
