The story line is that you have had a row with your fiancee (Miss Rosie Cheeques) and in a fit of temper you wrote a somewhat scathing letter to her. The next day you realised just what you had done and decided to intercept your letter before it is delivered to her and she calls the wedding off. This is quite a challenging game. You are working against a time limit since if the letter is delivered you have failed in your quest. It isn't a large game (28 locations) but a lot of problems have been crammed in. Many objects have been hidden in quite cunning ways. The first time I played the game, I ran out of time before I had even left the house. The second time, I didn't even stop to think before trying to break into the sorting office — and that was that. The game plays quite smoothly and there are some good touches of humour which add to the fun. The problems are all logical, although a couple of them do require a little thought. Remember, time is of the essence. First Past The Post is not really difficult and I think most adventurers will manage to complete it without too many problems. It is bug-free and when I play-tested it I found very little wrong with it. I can recommend this game as well worth playing. Reviewed by Phill Ramsay, played on the Amstrad |

Page créée en 498 millisecondes et consultée 2591 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. |
