TACTICS Can anything ever hope to compete with the immortal Football Managed The answer is possibly no, since FA Cup Football by Virgin Games tries hard, but ultimately fails to recreate the level of excitement and adrenalin, raised by that venerable original. Not that FA Cup Football doesn't have its good points. For one thing it's extremely detailed and accurately based on real performance statistics. It is a different sort of game to Football Manager, for one thing you have to manage ten separate teams, for another the actual history of the teams is all important -you need to be a footballing buff to begin with to really get much out of the game. You must guide your teams through the various roughs of the FA cup - your control is limited, shrewd tactics must be mixed with a sure knowledge of the playing style of opposing teams. You can control the structure of your team (attacking, defensive or balanced) and in later stages of the game there is an option to bring on a substitute. That's more or less it so far as your involvement goes. It's a curious game really, perhaps barely a game at all. Those who are very literate in footballing history may find much to entertain them, the less committed probably won't rate the game at all. PCW |

Page créée en 268 millisecondes et consultée 6139 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. |
