Computing with the Amstrad |
After decades of being blown out of the skies by humanity, the invaders built the ultimate weapon. It swung into orbit around planet Earth and promptly exploded when it was powered up. The invading horde retreated to examine the small print on the sticky tape warranty and Earth, for the most part, was safe. The explosion generated an intense wave of radiation which swept across your garden with interesting effects on the resident wildlife. Those little red bugs which used to eat you cabbages have mutated into giant Centipods with only one thing in mind — revenge. Additional hazards come in the shape of falling brick, which appear out of nowhere and can deliver permanent headaches to the unwary. In a desperate bid for survival you clamber into one of your three trusty mega-kill laset turrets. It can move left, right, up and down and fire a single laser bolt. The bolt is powerful but will not destroy the falling bricks and loses strength by the time it reaches the far side of the garden. When you hit a Centipod the segment dies leaving two live halves. When all the segments are dead bigger and meaner specimens are to be found lurking in other parts of the garden only too willing to take up the fray. Points are scored for killing segments, any other life form in the garden and the boxes of goodies which are dropped by the rogue invader. CWTA

Page créée en 000 millisecondes et consultée 1622 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. |
