Ready for the cliche of the eon? Football is a game of two halves, or at least it is in the case of Manchester Utd. Here you're a manager and joystick-juggling striker simultaneously. And what's more you can play either a full management sim or just the arcade leg. As management sims go, Man Utd offers little that's new. It's icon-driven and gives a vast range of options to keep the accountants happy. And there's enough going on to make sure you appreciate the pressure young Ally' Fergusson was under.
The arcade section's nothing to shout about. Viewed from overhead, it's another in a long line of soccer games. Not a particularly fast game, everybody's easy to control and that's the important bit. The opposition isn't hard to beat, but it's unfair to judge this section as a stand alone, because it's an integral part of the Man Utd package. The major hardship to be endured with Man C/tcf is the tape version. As the game nips between arcade and management this means repeated loading and reloading. No probs on disk, but on tape it takes a lifetime. Overall there are no complaints, but neither side of the package excels. The management competition isn't the most complex of its kind, but is far from being a slouch. The arcade section is 110 third division pretender either, but is left standing by Italy 1990. Man Utd won't win any silverware this season but they give a better account of themselves than certain Merseyside computer teams you could mention! TW, AA |

Page créée en 245 millisecondes et consultée 7499 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. |
