Can you match Daley Thompson's performance at the Olympics? As you know Daley didn't do too well, so here's a chance to try to do better. This chance comes in the form of Daley Thompson's Olympic Challenge. Included with the game is a rather dodgy audio cassette and a tremendous Decathlon poster .
This is (of course!) a sports simulation and starts with the training events. The training events comprise weight lifting, sit ups and squats, each with a performance rating shown graphically by a Lucozade bottle' (nice bit of sideways advertising there: if US Gold have Pepsi. Ocean get Lucozade!). At the end of the training your coach gives you a percentage rating of how fit you are. This fitness rating affects how well Daley does in the Olympics later on. After a couple of minutes we're at Seoul (faster even then Ren Johnson!), and we start the Olympics with an evil choicc of :our sports shoes. You have to choose the right trainer for that specific event or winning the event becomes extremely hard If you do pick the wrong footwear and fail to qualify then you are shown the correct footware and are given two more attempts at the event. This is a one player game and there are ten events ('Decathlon' - obvious really) and you have to qualify to go on to the next events. DT's OC is not bad at all. It doesn't capture your attention at first but after a while you go back just to have one more go. Pity about the sound, even with 'a Ocean Exclusive Audio Cassette', but there's few complaints about the graphic quality. FIRST DAY TARGET: Complete day one GMB, AA |

Page créée en 033 millisecondes et consultée 7642 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. |
