It's a jungle out there. In SAS Combat your soldier is taking on all comers, with a smoking gun to greet them. The game is somewhat reminiscent of Ikari Warriors. Your trooper has to make his way through a scrolling landscape, gunning down bad guys and lobbing grenades. There are one or two bonuses scattered around the battlefield. Picking these up gives you power-ups, the most useful of which is a jeep. In this, you're invulnerable against bullets, and only a grenade can kill you. At first the game area scrolls from right to left, but at a certain point it switches to vertically scrolling. As well as soldiers to slaughter, there are gun towers to contend with. On the upwards-scrolling section a train makes the odd appearance. This can be destroyed for extra points. On reaching the end of the level, play switches to a gun-less combat section. Here the viewpoint switches to side-on, and you have to get from left to right. This time the enemy cannot be avoided, and pinpoint accuracy is needed to knife them in the guts (ug! - ed). This part of the game contrasts heavily The graphics are blocky, bold and bright throughout. SAS Combat is perhaps the weakest of the lot, but that's not to say it's a bad game. If falls just slightly short of the mark compared to the others in the collection.

Page créée en 296 millisecondes et consultée 3163 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. |
