COMPLETE In the early days of the Spectrum around 25% of the software enquiries we ever got concerned one subject: "Is there a version of Defender available yet?" Defender is one of those very few arcade games that posseses that elusive property, longevity, and however simple the idea starts to look there are always a group of fanatics somewhere longing to play it. So it was with the Amstrad until now, when Alligata has released Defend or Die, Defender (ox short. Not only is it (I think) the first but it is also suprisingly complete. It was test played by Popular's resident Defender expert and found not to lack a single element from the original game. Quick summary of plot: aliens taking humans from planet; blast them to bits before they can; extra points by rescuing grabbed human and dropping him/her back on the earth; lots of different baddies, many of then incredibly vicious, all fire at you; and you have a laser type weapon. Observations from expert: Very complete, bit slow, scrolling gets a bit naff at speed, sound poor (although I should stress that it is in stereo and might sound far better put through a HI-FI which is what Alligata suggest).

Page créée en 340 millisecondes et consultée 8007 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. |
