Amstrad Action | C+VG |
What are you — man or mouse? That's the opening challenge from Martech. Well, lext to Geoff Capes that's not an easy thing to answer. Anyway, generally squeaking, we're a tough, rough lot at C+VG, ready to rise to any challenge Geoff Capes Strongman is a simulation game with an added dimension. Instead of just undertaking the various tasks, you also have to train for them. Poor old Geoff's body has been split into eight bits, represented by "muscle icons". Only his head is missing. Is that significant, we wonder? Brawn without brain? Each muscle contains a gauge to show how fit it is and how much energy is available Different events require different muscles so while training for the six events you must prepare the right muscles. If during any of the events the energy gauge hit zero, Geoff collapses. Between each event there is a short rest period which you can re-distribute remaining muscle energy.
Geoff Capes Strongman is a good simulation, lifted above many of its rivals by the need to actually think about the strategy behind the play. Good fun. The game is also available on Spectrum, CBM 64, BBC B, Electron, MSX and Atari.

Page créée en 740 millisecondes et consultée 3015 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. |
