THE AMSTRAD USER | Adventure Probe |
Re-released adventures are not common for any computer but now WoW are re-releasing many old classics as well as some interesting new releases. The Trial of Arnold Blackwood is the first of five adventure games by Nemesis. All feature the same characters and at least one or two jokes about Rochdale! In the game you join Arnold in the grounds of local eccentric Lord Erebus. Arnold has a lump on his head and cannot remember why the aforementioned Lord has summoned him. You should soon work out. what the Lord Erebus requires you and Arnie to do. You then need the right objects and you should remember that old Erebus is obsessed with tidyness. The game is written in BASIC/Machine Code and the game benefits as a result of it with tunes and effects (though not as good as the other games in the series). There are many other useful extras that you would not get with a game written with Quill, GAC etc. The game is humerous and never serious. Happing is easy as the map is built on a grid. The game is both fun, challenging and really very good. My only grumble would be that the location descriptions are rather brief. I would suggest that you purchase the disc version of this game as you will also get the other four games included which are even better! Reviewer ARAGORN played on Amstrad CPC6128 |

Page créée en 829 millisecondes et consultée 4314 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. |
