STREET Hawk is a very special motor cycle - a kind of Knight Rider on two wheels. Playing the role of its rider Jesse Mach you must eliminate the city's criminals. Speed is one of Street Hawk's major strengths. It is capable of 100 mph in normal mode and will scream up to 250 mph when you hit the turbo button. Other niceties are its armour plating, lasers, and air jets which provide sufficient vertical thrust to get you airborne. Combine this with your forward motion and you can leap most vehicles.
The majority of Street Hawk's functions can be operated via keyboard or joystick. However, turbo and jump have to be selected on the keyboard. The game's graphics are very pleasing. The city's streets are viewed from above using high resolution graphics and good colour. All vehicles are drawn complete with shadows, which are used to good effect during the game. Grab a handful of throttle and the bike will do a wheelie which without a shadow would probably go unseen. Down the side of the screen are indicators for such things as laser temperature, armour, turbo and air jet status. A single line of scrolling text alerts you to any criminal activity in the area. The riding and zapping are interspersed with the occasional stick up. Pull up at the scene of a crime and the display changes to the view from Jesse's visor. Using your lasers you must fry the crooks as they run to their get-away van. Your biggest headache is the local police force. They don't like other people doing their job and will do all they can to stop you. I had a great time weaving my way through the traffic at high speed. This is a really enjoyable game of cops and robbers. Steve Brook, CWTA |

Page créée en 681 millisecondes et consultée 5692 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. |
