Bridging the gap Quality Bridge simulations are now beginining to appear after years in the doldrums, and this, an English version of a French title, definitely should be filed under Quality. The usual format applies; the computer plays the other three hands for you in bidding and play and keeps score. Available for Amstrad and MSX now and Commodore shortly, Bridge assumes the player knows the game, and doesn't need any basic Bridge tuition. It is therefore not as suitable for beginners as, say, Colossus Bridge. However, it plays one of the strongest games I have seen on a computer Bridge simulation. Unusually for games of this genre, it uses a graphical screen representation with pictures of the cards rather than listing 2H, 3C, etc, and you select your cards by moving the cursor over them. Bidding is also done by selecting options with the cursor. There are a wealth of conventions available, which, and this is one of the product's strong points, can be toggled on and off at will. This is excellent, because it means you are not forced to adopt any bidding conventions you are not familiar with.
That's only a minor niggle. Generally, Infogrames' Bridge is an excellent program. Christina Erskine, PCW |

Page créée en 472 millisecondes et consultée 3167 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. |
