Computing with the Amstrad |
HAVE you ever had the thrill of winning money and then the disappointment of losing it? Well you can have both these experiences with Lucky Fruits, a computerised fruit machine from Knightsoft. And it won't cost you a penny, apart from the price of the cassette, that is.
You are first asked how much credit you want. Your money is displayed at the bottom of the screen. To spin the reels you press any key and wait for Lady Luck The scroll on the reels is fairly smooth and the graphics symbols are simple but effective. After each spin a small amount of the hidden symbol shows at the top and bottom of each reel. This is a nice touch because it's just like the real thing when you are looking for the best way to nudge for a winning line. Numbers occasionally appear on the symbols on the win line. These light up an appropriate number of letters on the word "Feature" just below the reels. Once you light up the whole word all the (available Tealures masn in sequence underneath. The aim is to stop on the feature you' want to use. A line of symbols is shown down the right hand side of the screen and next to each is a letter of the words LIGHT* A*LINE. Every symbol which drops on the winning line lights up its corresponding letter. Once the complete word has been lit up you have a crack at the super series, which is a win each time you spin the reels. The screen layout is a bit untidy. Borders round the different features would have neatened it a bit. I found it very addictive and easy to play. If only those five pound notes were real . . . David Andrews, CWTA |

Page créée en 401 millisecondes et consultée 2062 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. |
