The bad lad's back going nuts in the Coconut Capers. Naughty but nice. Gremlin's little Nipper is certainly a ripper gripper of jungle jollity. There was a time when I thought I would scream If I saw another platform and ladders-style game. They seemed to be everywhere But now . okay, I really got into this one.
Jack (he Nipper's first adventure ended with the troublesome tot and his family flying to Australia following a deportation order on them. Jack's not pleased with the prospect of going down under so he jumps plane— using his nappy as a parachute. The idea of the game is simply to survive in the jungle until he reaches a score of 100 per cent on the Naughtyometer. But he musn't get caught by dad. And there are plenty of ways for Jack to be naughty — hurling coconuts at natives and animals, firing blowpipes and generally creating all sorts of mayhem. All along the way tie can pick up weapons and some really useful items such as grease, honey and wood worms. There's an amazing number of screens to explore, traps to avoid, puzzles to solve. Both the Spectrum and Amstrad have great graphics. So, to Sum up. If you're fed up with the millions of shoot-'em-ups around and hanker for some good, old fashioned platform arid ladders fun, you could do worse than Jack the Nipper II. CVG |

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. |
