In true Star Trek tradition, this program puts you in the pilot's scat of a super galactic spaceship. Thankfully the handbook is one of the best I have seen for this sort of simulation; the complexities involved in flying this craft, your Interdictor Mk III. arc considerable. The time it takes to assimilate the 48 pages of information, depends on your learning ability. Starting with a dummy run, using the slow motion option, and given enough practice, you may get to fly a successful mission, and achievc a perfect docking with the Starbasc. On the other hand, it may be just too complicated for you, unless you are determined to sec some return for your considerable investment. Superb graphics and sound add enormously to the reality of the project. The panoramic view through the cockpit window is realistic, with good 3-D implementation as the alien craft zoom towards you. You can use 40 of the keys and the joystick to control the Interdictor, though thankfully, not all at the same time. Here lies my one critisism: some of the keys arc only effective under certain operating conditions. Although these parameters arc all covered adequately in the handbook, it took a lot of effort to commit them to memory. With this number of input channels, a keyboard overlay would make the learning process much less arduous. Fastidious attention to detail in this well written program will provide aeons of entertainment for armchair astronauts. D.H., HCW

Page créée en 288 millisecondes et consultée 1923 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. |
