Romik, who seem to believe in quantity rather than quality, have added yet another computer to their catalogue — the Amstrad. This game is a conversion of an old Vic20 game. Sad to say, the game might have been good on the Vic, several years ago, but now on the Amstrad, it looks a bit old hat. ‘You' are a ‘greater-than' sign, or an arrow-head. You can rotate and move in the same way as in Asteroids (remember that?). And, of course, you can fire. When you have shot the black blob, another electron appears, and you have to start again, trying to shoot another black blob. By the time there are four or five electrons flying around the screen this gets quite tricky — you have to keep an eye on all the electrons, at the same time as trying to shoot the blob. I ended up by being very frustrated by this and yet, because the game is so simple, this did not turn into wanting another go. I just remained frustrated. This might sell, as it is cheaper than Amsoft's close to making use of the Amstrad's advanced graphics capabilities.

Page créée en 213 millisecondes et consultée 3993 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. |
