Adventure Probe | Amstrad Action |
Paul Gill of Rhinosoft gave us the cheapie home-brew Al-Strad earlier this year which the Pilg quite enjoyed. Now he's sent in Die You Vicious Fish. This is a rather, er, strange game. You are deposited outside a hotel at which are staying ten vicious fish. Your task is to enter and. with the aid of your fish-blasting backpack, destroy them. The PUg fell foul of the lack of reviewer's hint-sheet' syndrome with this one. I managed to despatch a few fish using my trusty pack (activated simply by PRESSing it) and in one instance - an oven, but I didn't manage to get very far through the locations The program kept telling mo that I 'couldn't do that ,yet!' which - in true Scott Adams style seemed to indicate that I would be able to one day. When I do. I'll let you know. What I did see. however, was enough to tell me that there is a reasonable degree of good humour here, quite a few spelling mistakes, and one bug which caused the program to drop back into the Basic in which it appears the game is written. There's also a nice title screen (designed by one Ste Pickford who did the art for such games as Xeno and Ghosts'n'Goblins - wow, man)and some music that is about as strange as the plot that follows. There's a red telephone in the hallway, where you can ring for help, but I think the program must have been pulling my leg. because I still can't get past the little frozen door, or the manager's office, or make use of the excitable cat. Others.no doubt, will soon be shelling out their £1.50 to see whether they can do better. Whether it's worth tt or not. I'm not sure but then nowadays you can't get a game much cheaper... And I have a feeling I'll be loading it up again... AMSTRAD ACTION #18

Page créée en 130 millisecondes et consultée 2261 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. |
