Sultan's Maze is a Hunt the Wumpus style maze game for the new Amstrad machine. All you need to know about the plot is that the Sultan's six rubies are now scattered about Hampton Court, guarded by the ghost of the Sultan's companion now known as the Guardian. Like the mercenary idiot you are you have decided enter the maze and try to remove the rubies. Sultans Maze is a good 3D maze game which is very simple to play and requires thought, rather than fast reflexes, though it is difficult to win on the highest of the nine levels. The numeric keypad is used for control of your position, rotate, move forward, etc as well as keys to view the map, pick-up and drop rubies and so on. As you move around you get tired, but, by returning to the palace you can be refreshed. The program is written in Basic which results in the drawing of the clear 3D views not being instantaneous but this doesn't detract from the game. Comprehensive, though slightly long-winded instructions are available on loading. The game has some very nice touches, for example, the ability to jump through the hedges on the lower levels, and the way in which you can orientate yourself by looking at the sky.

Page créée en 680 millisecondes et consultée 5335 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. |
