Amstrad Action |
Americana is the new budget label of US Gold but is rather inaptly named in this case because the game was written by English Software. It's similar in many way to Thing on a Spring but has a sting in its tail where you have to solve a riddle to complete the game.
Not all the safes contain a clue and the ones that do change for each game, so most of them will usually have to be visited. Guarding the safes are various monsters in each room which sap ES's energy when they touch him. They move in patterns and can therefore be avoided with a little practice. However one room allows you to replenish energy and the rime limit that runs down. There are also a couple of instantly-deadly rooms from which there is no escape if you get caught by fire or water.
BW SECOND OPINION Great music, fun gameplay, but the graphics are unwatchable. 'Flickery' is putting it milddly - some screens judder so much you can hardly look at them. Shame, 'cos it's a nice game otherwise. AW |

Page créée en 083 millisecondes et consultée 2141 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. |
