| Cahiers de l'Amstrad Magazine | AMTIX |
Being the intrepid explorer Roland you have entered a vast and mysterious tomb. You find yourself at the bottom of the maze and you must endeavour to climb to the top and find the way out. On your way up you encounter many hazards and monsters that try to make your life harder. Every time you touch one of these hazards your energy drains and if you are not careful you could die. To help you get out. you can jump over the energy-sapping rats and shoot at the ghosts the only drawback is that you have a limited amount of bullets in your gun and shooting the ghosts only frightens them. The only way of gaining more energy is by finding the magical vases full of the Elixir of Life. Roland on the Ropes is quite an old game now. First it was out for the Spectrum and called Fred, the Amstrad version soon followed but it was not a major improvement over the original. The graphics, while being quite acceptable, scroll jerkily and can be off putting. The game itself is quite fun to play at the outset but soon becomes tedious after a couple of tombs have been completed. Roland on the Ropes probably has a greater appeal for younger players but it's doubtful whether arcade addicts will enjoy it for long.

Page créée en 289 millisecondes et consultée 7276 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. |
