A quick glance at the cassette inlay of Shao Lin's Road had me gulping. The screen shots were stunning. Too good in fact for the Amstrad. I read the blurb. "Screen shots from arcade version - home micro versions may differ,” it read. May differ? Who are they trying to kid? Is there a difference between chalk and cheese? Do pig's fly? Do System 3 games come out on tune? The truth is that Shao Lin's Road does have a passing resemblance to the arcade version. For a start the name's the same, both are from Konami and the storyline is roughly the same. The game is a follow up to Yie Ar Kung-Fu and finds the hero Lee as a master of Chin's Shao Lin. That means he's able to kick and punch people with devastating effect and able to perform magnificent leaps and bounds. He's also got some magical powers at his disposal. Lee has been trapped in a temple by hoards of Triads and must battle his way to freedom using everyone of his skills. It's s all very much standard martial arts stuff, good fun but I find that because there are so many of these type of games around now days, they don't keep me playing as much as they used too. In the general slaughter and carnage, the death of one of your opponents will release an energy ball. Catch this and you get a magical power for a while.

Page créée en 708 millisecondes et consultée 3681 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. |
