This is a very creditable first release from a new software company. You play the part of a spy parachuted into German territory during the Second World War. Your mission is to penetrate a fortress and find and copy some secret documents. As the game begins, you are hurtling towards the ground after jumping from the plane, and getting your parachute open is your first priority. Having done this, you are prompted to "Push C or S to continue". I'm not sure what the purpose of this command is as pressing either key has the same result - you find yourself in the snow-covered mountains next to the dead body of your partner. You must now gather your equipment, avoid a German motorcyclist and a spotter plane that sometimes appears, pacify wild dogs, cross a river and get into the camp. Having done this, you enter the second part of the game and continue your mission. I feel that if the graphics and number of similar locations had been reduced and more puzzles put in their place, I would have been more impressed. Overall, a good first release and I look forward to seeing more from them in the future. CWTA |

Page créée en 187 millisecondes et consultée 1678 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. |
