MAYDAY Jump Jet is the latest release from Aiuiog and it's one of the most playable flight simulations I've seen in a long while. Whilst the simulation of a harrier is fairly accurate, there are not so many controls that you can't get going with the game fairly quickly. You begin with your harrier on the flight deck, the first task being to take off. This section is graphically very neat, with the screen showing two windows from a position alongside and in front of the carrier. Get this section right and you get the fun stuff, which is of course blowing other aircraft out of the sky. This involves some subtle cat-and-mouse flying and much use of radar and the range finder. As you start to master flying the craft you can select higher skill levels where rough seas and cross-winds make life that bit more difficult. Jump Jet also features some pretty impressive speech at various points, which is audible. understandable and even sounds vaguely public schoolish. I'm getting very used to the cry of 'mayday, mayday, I'm bailing out'. Jump Jet is a simulation which can demand a lot of skill at higher levels but which won't daunt the novice, which makes it a pretty rare thing.

Page créée en 513 millisecondes et consultée 3998 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. |
