In this, the latest in PSS's wargame series, you take the part of. 11 group controller, directing “The Few” against the Hunnish hordes. The display shows the position of incoming raids, any squadrons you have scrambled, as well as the position of airfields, radar stations and towns in southeast England. You must attempt to repel the Luftwaffe raids while maintaining the RAF in fairly good nick. In the air, you can be sure of a loss rate of about five to one, but the risk is getting caught on the ground whilst refuelling, which will lose you half the aircraft on the field. This leaves the player with a nice dilema of how many squadrons to commit to dealing with each raid. As is obligatory with this PSS series, you can have arcade sequences where you fight one of the battles, as usual you are not entirely sure what you are doing and it is best to ignore it. There are three scenarios: introductory game, Blitzkreig, and campaign game. The campaign game broadly follows the pattern of the German campaign, with initial raids on the radar system, followed up by attacks on the airfields. At the end of each day you get a number of replacements to make your squadrons up to strength. Definitely the best offering yet in this series, with lots of historical flavour and attention to detail.

Page créée en 127 millisecondes et consultée 7069 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. |
