LEGO MAN  
Considering the graphic capabilities of the Amstrad 464, Amsoft should be somewhat ashamed. Roland, the hero of Roland in Space, who is supposed to be intrepid but looks rather more like a Lego man, has to journey around the galaxy retrieving the scattered bits of the “galaxy's most feared su-per-weapon". There are seven planets, and each one is a different arcade game screen. You have to wander around, moving left and right or jumping -funnily enough, if you keep on jumping you start flying. I never realised that you could jump on thin air. Most of the features I've seen so far are really pretty standard. The monsters are nothing special - everything seems to be block graphics. Look at what Ultimate have managed to do with the same machine, then look at Roland. If that hasn't made up your mind, look at the price - £8.95 on tape, £12.95 on disc. Come off it, Amsoft, truck drivers are cannier than you seem to think. John Minson , Popular Computing Weekly Issue |
