Puzzles Shards have got themselves a good reputation for trying to do something different in the cliched world of computer games. For those that don't know, their programs usually come under some heading such as 'educational adventure', but usually they consist of series of puzzles rather than what anyone would think of as a true adventure.
I must confess that it is a formula that tends to leave me cold but that's only personal preference - I can recognise a well implemented idea and some people swear by these games. You can't criticise the value for money considering that there is over 100K of code on the tape. Advertised as a "game for all the family', it probably has more in common with Sunday afternoons playing Monopoly than with your usual solitary computer fare. Indeed although you can see where the educational element comes in, this is a bit underplayed and it would probably work better with a teacher or parent at hand to build upon the ideas presented in the game.

Page créée en 708 millisecondes et consultée 1749 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. |
