A conversion from the Spectrum, yet again, of a role-playing adventure/graphic /arcade game. Some combination, huh? During loading a fine screen is displayed, then you are called to define your character. Having named the noble Nurdwarbler, I chose to make him an elf with rather more intelligence than strength and agility. He could have been a warrior or a thief, but with different results.
Loading then continues, and when over, a small non-animated stick-man is shown on a map-com-maze, which is littered with forests, lakes, sea, hidden attacking bandits and the occasional castle. Enter one and the screen changes to show a plan of the interior on which your character is shown. As with the rest of the game, you can steer him via the cursor keys to the counters of the various shops where you may buy your weapons, food, transport etc. Beware the jester, however! He nicks your goodies. In each castle is a king who, if you ask, will set a task — probably recovering an object — as you journey the land. D.M., HCW |

Page créée en 602 millisecondes et consultée 3838 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. |
