Amstrad Action | |
What a barg, eh, Spec chums? A rather spiffy joystick and eight games for the almost-but-not-quite-give-away price of £19.99. The joystick is a snazzy red and black Konix Speedking with all the latest technical thangs and glitches. This stick would usually set you back 13 smackers, and that's without the equivalent of two of the Codies Quattro packs. Overall, it's a massive saving of about a quid. It might not sound a lot but you do get a nice size box which is machine-crafted from the finest cardboard. So, what makes this joystick such a necessary purchase? Well, it's not actually that different from most of the good quality joysticks on the market. Joystick manufacturers use their own jargon which, when translated, doesn't actually mean much. The Speedking, for example, has got tactile-response Microswitches. Now all good joystick manufacturers use the more sensitive microswitches rather than leaf switches. The Speedking's a nice joystick, it feels comfortable, it's easy to get a grip on and and it makes a reassuring clicking noise. There's also a one year guarantee which could come in jolly handy. Just one word of advice though, the guarantee doesn't count if you have an 'accident' with your ‘stick. So don't go throwing it down the stairs.

Page créée en 388 millisecondes et consultée 845 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. |
