Well, well, well, this was a surprise for the price. It's a very simple game with only 30 commands (including movement) but its icon control system allows you to combine commands with surprising effect.

The screen display shows a small but attractive graphic display of your location, which is occasionally replaced by a text message giving some historical background to the game. This is useful since (as usual with Mastertronic games) there is very little detail on the cassette cover.

Beside the graphics window is a command window, listing 22 commands over which you can move a highlighting cursor with the joystick. Clicking on SCROLL replaces the lower eight commands with eight further alternatives. All the usual low level options are there, plus a TALK command.

Beneath the text window is a one-line constantly scrolling message display strip that shows available exits and occasionally gives other information. Beneath that is the location description window.

Once you select a command it is either executed immediately (if possible) or, if it requires a direct object, you are given the opportunity of selecting any word from the location window or the 'characters present' window to apply it to. Some commands, like TALK will require both direct and indirect objects, so, for example, you might

(1) Click on TALK
— the computer responds with SAY TO

(2) Click on BASHKA
— the computer responds with SAY TO BASHKA

(3) Click on OPEN
— the computer responds with SAY TO BASHKA OPEN

(4) Click on the word DOOR in the location description
— the computer responds with SAY TO BASHKA OPEN DOOR

...and then, after all that effort, hope for a decent response!
What impressed me about the program was the number of times I did get a decent response. For £1.99 it really isn't bad value, though I don't think it scores all that highly in the lasting interest stakes. The quest is the usual "save-the-world-from-the-baddie" scenario, but beggars can't be choosers and it puts some more expensive products I could mention to shame.

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.
