The wartime flight and flight simulator, Spitfire 40 was first released on the Commodore and received enthusiastic reviews. Some of the graphics were spectacular, in particular the marvellously detailed and realistic looking instrument panel, but it was flawed by a slow screen update and subsequently jerky movement. The conversion to the Amstrad has exceeded all expectations. The detailed graphics have been preserved, but the spread of the game has been enormously improved such that movement is smooth and realistic. The sound is also some of the nicest I've heard on the CPC. There is a genuine aircraft drone rather than a weedy buzz and the bullet fire is similarly well done. Unfortunately, there are still few landmarks on the ground to provide more of a flying challenge. I am particularly fond of the instrument panel which retains all the detail of the Commodore original - and so it should - and gives you a marvellously realistic sense of being in the cockpit. It may just be that I'm a veteran of dozens of flight simulators, or it may be something to do with the game, but the thing does seem quite easy to fly, if not to land. Other nice touches are that you have to take into account the movement of the enemy aircraft when firing, and it is possible to save your progress in the form of a Pilot's Log. Collect enough kills and you can graduate to Ace of the Camp. For the complete novice  there is lots of opportunity to practice different elements of flying from take-off and landing to the all important combat. The only reason to be wary of this superb program is if you already have Fighter Pilot, if you remove all of the extra trappings from Spitfire it plays almost exactly the same. Tony Kendle , PCW

CPCrulez[Content Management System] v8.732-desktop Page créée en 600 millisecondes et consultée 5873 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.
