Another in the fine line of programs that appear to the accompaniment of a demented tune. No prizes guessing what sort of tune to expect when the hapless British Archaelogist sets about the tombs of Egypt. Oh Mummy is one of those rare games where the beginners level really does permit the unwary to beat the computer for once -although stepping up a grade or two gives the mummies the upper hand once again. Why can't more games have an absolute novice level, or at least an option for unlimited lives while you hone the reactions? Oh Mummy is a frantic dash around the catacombs, unearthing treasure, annoying mummies and eventually escaping with your life. As ever, Gem have provided pages of instruction and general background to the game. I wouldn't have been surprised to find Gem listing the inside leg measurement of the mummies.
Smooth graphics and accomplished sound, but programmable to be not too frantic to frighten off those newcomers who quake at the prospect of understanding the rules of some of the mega games, let alone actually playing them! You will be relieved to learn that the tune can be switched off before your senses are embalmed by its haunting melody. ACU |

Page créée en 330 millisecondes et consultée 9405 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. |
