More myths There can be few people who have not heard of this ‘prequel' to the superb Tir Na Nog. The story concerns the early adventures of Cuhulainn who has had his charioteer kidnapped by an evil sorceress and held captive in the mystical city of Dun Darach. You control the main character through scores of subquests on the route to his final goal, attempting to decipher the meaning and use of the various symbols and objects lying around. As has been said many times it is the closest yet seen to a true fully-animated and interactive graphics adventure. One advance over Tir Na Nog are the interactive characters - there are about ten other characters with whom you must trade and swap objects to receive clues and items necessary for your suecess. Each of these have certain traits, likes and dislikes which have to be divined. The monetary system is also central to the game - you can buy and sell, steal objects, invest, gamble or even work to make some readies. My initial reactions to the game were not all favourable -trading to build up capital seemed tedious and the evil Greg Follis of Gargoyle had given so little away in the blurb that the first hours were spent seething with frustration and bafflement. Then I stumbled upon a method of clocking up thousands in cash and solved the mysteries of the galleries and I now find I have reached a dangerous level of fascination with the game - food, work, whatever all take second place. Beware of this program! This is the last in the Celtic Myth series planned from Gargoyle and it stands head and shoulders above 99% of the other releases for the Amstrad computers and although it only took ten days to convert from the Spectrum, they are studying the market before deciding whether to release TirNa Nog as well.
Make it a success, pester them to death and we may persuade them. Tony Kendle , PCW |

Page créée en 485 millisecondes et consultée 3551 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. |
