The game, Mahjong, is based on a four player Chinese tile game, with the computer being the other three players. To call Mahjong, and thus winning, a player must have a hand containing four sets of three or four, and a pair. At the start of the game each player is assigned a wind and one of these is said to be the Wind of the Round in the order of east, south, west and north. If you are Wind of the Round and you win that round then you continue to be so, but if you lose then the wind rotates. Also once each player has been all four winds the Wind of the Round changes. In a full game there are a minimum of sixteen hands split into four rounds, which is al rather heavy unless you are into this type of entertainment.
Thirteen (fourteen if you are wind of the round) tiles are dealt to you and appear near the bottom of the screen. When it is your turn to play a cursor appears on the selection menu at the bottom of the screen. Once you have made a Chow or a Pung it must be declared by placing the cursor on the appropriate symbol on the menu at which a secondary cursor appears on your tiles and you place it on the middle tile of your set. The set is then placed above your tiles. A Kong can only be made if a Pung has been previously declared. Once it is your turn you can either take a tile from the wall (pack),which is not on screen, or from the discarded tiles at the top of the screen. Only the lastly discarded tile can be taken and only if it will form a Chow although if a tile, which will form a Pung or a Kong for you, is discarded you will be automatically asked if you wish to take it no matter whose turn it is. Again these functions are achieved via the appropriate symbols on the menu (Wall, Lcrd — last card). Once a tile is taken one must be discarded (keeping the number of tiles to 13) via the Dscd option. There is also a View option, which allows you to look at the sets laid down by other players, and an Xchg options which lets you move your own tiles into order. When you are one tile away from Mahjong you must state this using the 1Mah option and if you win you must state MahJ. You will be told if another player is one from Mahjong and you will know if someone else wins.

Page créée en 107 millisecondes et consultée 1917 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. |
