Amstrad Action |
You and a friend were touring Ormskirk when you discovered an un-mapped cave system. Being curious adventurers, you started to explore the caves but. as you had not bought a lamp with you, you were attacked in the dark by a Grue. The Grue devoured your tubby friend then and there, but feeling rather full, he decided to lock you in his cave for when his appetite returned He has now fallen asleep outside the only exit You must find a way to escape! This is the introductory screen to Grue-Knapped, a brilliantly-written ADLAN game by Bob 'Amster' Adams - some of you may remember Bob when he very kindly reviewed ADLAN in AA60 after the Balgs monitor blew up! Since it's text only, the Balg was initially worried that the game would have a few too many 'in-jokes', as both Bob and 'The Grue' are regular readers and contributors to Adventure Probe However, my fears were unfounded - the game is fust very funny! The puzzles are well thought out and logical too logical at times; one of the puzzles involves reaching a shelf by jumping onto something springy The final solution is very logical but so absurd I kicked myself, Bob s style seems to be similar to Colin Hams's games, in that his objects are never what they seem I was examining the sink and I found a plug - a 13 amp one! There is also a painting of Ormskirk quay -a door key1 The jokes in the game are very funny - the final puzzle ts such a play on words it'll make you groan! Grue-Knapped has advanced commands such as Ramsave, Ramload and look behind and * look under but. surprisingly, the game does not understand 'it' or all' Overall, one of the best games I've played in quite a while' AA

Page créée en 306 millisecondes et consultée 1673 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. |
