You play the part of Ernie Spludge ,he of First Past The Post and Get Me To The Church On Time fame. Your wife Rosie has gone into hospital to have your first little Spludge or in this case splodge. Having had the house to yourself for the past week or so you have turned it into a right pigsty and as you have to pick Rosie and the baby up from the hospital sometime today you had better do some fast thinking. Your first task is to find the hoover and start cleaning or better still get someone to do it for you while you deal with all the other problems that have cropped up while Rosie has been away These include finding your missing dog, getting the car repaired, and delivenng your wife s manuscript to her publisher. You also need to find your cheque book and some change tor a bus trip into town before you can carry out any of these tasks not to mention booking a driving lesson (don't forget your provisional driving licence) and booking a coach ticket You will need to do some busking if you can find a suitable instrument but watch out for the policeman, Rosie wouldn't like it if you got arrested. If you played the first two games you won't find this too difficult although I did need some help to get me started There is no search input in the game, examining an object will always suffice and it is verb/noun only, so no complicated inputs It isn't a big game location wise, but there is some toing and froing which can be a bit frustrating if you don't make a map You may be forgiven for thinking that some of the locations look as though they might hold a clue or two, so don't be tooled. There is also a time limit to get everything done before picking Rosie up from the hospital, which shouldn't be a problem if you get up in time. There is a clock in the top right hand of the screen so you can keep an eye on the time. A word of warning - don't be in too much of a hurry to leave the house.

Page créée en 255 millisecondes et consultée 767 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. |
