Take a can of the fizzy stuff, throw in a team of programmers, ask them to come up with a game, shake them all up and what do you get? A sticky mess, or a Pacman variant?
You play a small blobby thing on logs that wanders around mazes eating pills and avoiding ghosties (sound familiar?). There are plenty of mazes to go through and some zap game bits to make it a little different/wierder. Most of the screen is taken up by the lour way scrolling playing area and a score and lives panel. The playing area itself is very large for each level, covering several screens. The zappy bits come in the form of special corridors in the mazes yon can enter and when inside you change into a laser base and can blast any ghosts. Space Invaders style, that come too near. Pacman has power pills and this has squares that change you into something else: big hump-backed things and little red guys are two of your forms. On the title screen there's a brilliant little ditty and there are also the occasional tunes within the game itself losing a life provides one. Sound effects are well done. The graphics are colourful and nicely animated, with some humorous sprites Not the most original or difficult game, but it's pretty and it should keep younger players busy and happy for many hours. Maybe a little overpriced, but still worth considering. GBH, AA#40 FIRST DAY TARGET: 30,000 points |

Page créée en 137 millisecondes et consultée 3074 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. |
