Microman

Now this is something of a rarity, this one. Quilled games can sometimes make you wonder just how much of a good thing it is to have every Tom. Dick, and Harry churning out byte after byte of insipid drivel, but Microman is an excellently designed little gem with considerable atmosphere and some very originally conceived locations.

As Pro: Neil Richards you have unfortunately been reduced to a mere three inches or so in size, and you must escape from your car (in which this hideous transformation has taken place) and attempt to regain your former stature.

It's a tribute to the game - both its challenge and its atmosphere - that after a few minutes the Pilg really FELT three inches tall. Cynics might say that I'm not much taller than that anyway, but believe me it is a humbling experience to get lost inside a haystack as I did just a few moves: after leaving my car.

The game is full of nice touches, from the moment you rob a magpie's nest through a life-and-death battle with, a mole to your final struggles in the laboratory to solve the conundrum of your much-reduced stature.

To heighten the atmosphere, the game has several attractive graphics. The programmer obviously isn't an artist but his illustrations are tidy, nicely presented, and help give the game just that little bit extra that makes it something special. A game I would thoroughly recommend even if it was being offered on its own - let alone as part of bargain package.

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.
