Superior zapping Konami is the first of the Japanese arcade coin-op companies to chance its arm at the home computer conversion game (Atari has been doing it for years, of course) and this is the first of many titles to come - Jail Break. Load it up and you hear a cry: "The Governor's been taken hostage - free him no matter what the cost."
The cost, more often or not, is hours of frustration, several broken joysticks (keyboard control is far superior, but you don't find that out for ages) and the acquisition of a glassy-eyed state (accompanied by sinister grin) that would be at home on the set of any 1930's horror movie. Catalyst Coders can be congratulated for producing a very competent piece of software and music. Quite simply, the game has you controlling your patrolman on the streets of a city full of armed and dangerous escaped prisoners. You move left to right, dodging the bullets. madly avoiding the gas canisters and shooting the hell out of the opposition. From time to time, hostages will appear, who must bo rescued for extra points, with the added bonus that you get an extra weapon for doing tho good deecf. The two extras, a flame thrower and a grenade launcher, will be needed further on in the proceedings. The graphics and so forth are professionally done, rather than stunning, but the real achievement here is in the gamesplay Jait Break is difficult - yet it's the kind of difficult you instinctively know isn't impossible Highly superior zapping.

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. |
