Benurio has not had a particularly good time recently, but that is not to say that he hasn't lived life previously. In fact his story could be deemed a 'rags to riches'one, because although he was born the son of a modest merchant, he became the most admired of all the officers in the Roman Legions. But (it's time to get those hankies out!) Benurio had one minor flaw, his love for the pretty maiden Calia (get those sick bags out!). Nerio was another who loved sweet Calia, but alas his heart was to be filled with spite and jealousy because of Benurio, and using his position as chief of the Emperor's Praetorian Guard, he discredited the young officer and plunged him into the world of chariot racing. Chariot racing is what Colosseum is all about, and mad, manic chariot racing at that. As Benurio you take the reigns of one of many chariots that line up for the race of their lives (deaths, would be more appropriate!) and your main objective is to last four races in order to enter the Emperor's favour once more. One saving grace is the way that you scroll around corners, this is something I've not seen in a game before, but you can bet we'll see it again. What is most sad though is that software companies still think they can take a half-baked piece of offal that they know wouldn't sell as a full price game, and sell it at a price that many kids would go for. I'm not happy! RIK, ACU #8905

Page créée en 085 millisecondes et consultée 2793 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. |
