Amstrad Action |
This is a compilation of six games from the French software house. Two of the games have been released in the UK before, Soccer and MGT, the other four are 3D Fight, Billy, Flash and Zox 2099. 3D Fight is a Buck Rogers style game in which you fly over the surface of a checkerboard planet, shooting the rapidly approaching aliens and ground based forces that try to kill you. Meteors drop in from the top of the screen in some stages and they also have to be dodged. Billy is an exploration game where you have to find the four video games that are hidden in the city. To do this you move around, picking up objects on the way to give to people who will then disappear, allowing you access to other parts of the city. If you don't have the object that they want then they'll beat you up. In Flash you're trying out a new military weapon which enables you to change from a man into a jeep, tank or helicopter. You have to put the equipment through its paces by wiping out enemy forces and their bases. All of the inhabitants of the planet Hullm are being held hostage by Zox on an asteroid. Zox 2099 is split into two parts: a fight in space and then an exploration stage on an asteroid The space fight is a 3D shoot-em-up with aliens coming in one at a time shooting bolts of energy at you. Once on the asteroid you have to penetrate Zox's guarded labyrinth and free the people of Hulim. MGT (reviewed issue 19) is a 3D exploration game You drive around rooms in a tank shootmg at invading alien bacteria and solving puzzles to get you further into the complex. Soccer (reviewed issue 12) is a football game where you control one of four European teams. Either a second player or the computer can control one of the other teams. You can alter the difficulty level to make play easier or harder. The graphics in all the games are colourful. although they are chunky and don't look brilliant. Tunes play in most of the games and they're good. The sound effects are generally disappointing. None of the games are particularly outstanding, but as a pack of six they are good value for money. Take a look before you make a decision. GBH , AA |

Page créée en 424 millisecondes et consultée 1722 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. |
