Originality is the name of the game with this one - it has none! The scene is this: a surprise attack from the enemy caught the home team by surprise. They captured quite a few troops which they have imprisoned in huts behind their own lines. Four men and a jeep have been sent to the rescue - Bob, Grey, Quint and Deckar. I don't know what the jeep is called.

You control a jeep with a machine gun and a rocket launcher. Your task is to speed round behind the enemy lines finding men held prisoner in the buildings, left derelict by the onslaught of the enemy attack. You must beware, because there are still some troops left behind who somehow seem to be able to blow you up with a single bullet!

To find the men, you must manoeuvre your jeep to face a building. Then, by keeping the fire button pressed down, you must send a rocket into the building. This will force the prisoners to jump out and await rescue. To rescue them, simply run 'em over!

SECOND OPINION

This one drove me crazy to start with because the action is so slow and it's so easy to get killed. The only technique for surviving is to trundle slowly around, scrolling the screen down a bit at a time, and dealing with the enemy one at a time. This tortuous process destroys the whole point of what ought to be an action game.

BW

Similarly to Commando, each different bit of the playing area is separated by a big wall, with the entrance to the next bit sometimes guarded by a big gate. One blast from a rocket will make the gate disappear.

The next part of your task is to drop off the men at various locations where they will be picked up by helicopter. Once that is done you must move on to attack the enemy headquar ters.

The game lacks so much in originality that I got bored with it very quickly The game-play is difficult at times and I felt that the enemy blew me up far too easily, especially the tank. The graphics are colourful, well drawn, and they move quickly. Sometimes it is difficult to move the jeep around in some tight areas, but you soon get the hang of that. Sound is pretty mediocre.

  • FIRST DAY TARGET SCORE : Rescue 8 men.
  • GREEN SCREEN VIEW : No big difficulties.

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.
