TILT	Amstrad Action

★ Ce texte vous est présenté dans sa version originale ★   ★ This text is presented to you in its original version ★   ★ Este texto se presenta en su versión original ★   ★ Dieser Text wird in seiner Originalfassung präsentiert ★  This bike simulation uses the unusual method of connecting two computers through serial interfaces so that two players can play simultaneously. There is an extensive menu of options. The first is to enter your initials. Second, you can choose the engine size of your bike, thus giving the class of race in which you will compete. Then there is Racing Competition, where you choose the skill level. This controls the speed of the computer-controlled bikes and the ease with which you will crash. Fourth is the track selection, where you may choose one of twelve circuits from around the world. Next you can choose whether you ride the tracks in listed order, or in the order in which they would be during a proper Grand Prix season. You can also choose whether to practise or compete. The seventh option allows you to choose the number of players. However, unless your mate brings around his computer (or you have three miles of cable lying around) and you've both splashed out £50 on an RS232 serial interface, you will only be able to play singleplayer. You can also choose automatic or manual gears, and whether the display shows the road or your racing instrument. Each race involves 16 riders and can be saved whenever you stop. During racing or practice, you can stop at the pits to refuel or change tyres. Movement is very slow and jerky and I really dislike the moving horizon, the angle of which changes when you bank at a corner. Once again, the sound is the same brrrrrrerrr you always get in racing games. But if you want a bike-racing game, this is the better of the two in this issue by quite a long way, mainly due to the extensive options allowed. SECOND OPINION Despite the jerky graphics I found this an enjoyable simulation. The key lies in its attention to detail, giving you more feel of realism than 500cc GP. The computer opponents are more interesting and provide a reasonable challenge. It's not too convincing deciding when you crash, but that's just as well because it usually lets you get away with murder at high speeds. BW FIRST-DAY TARGET SCORE : Complete one circuit. GREEN SCREEN VIEW : The road ahead is clear. The Verdict GRAPHICS : 67% For a racing game, the bike depiction is good. Very jerky and lacks detail. SONICS : 37% Very standard and unexciting revs and crashes. The music is mediocre. GRAB FACTOR : 71% With so many options there's a lot of initial appeal. Very easy to drive. STAYING POWER : 59% As with all racing games, there are always best times to beat. Otherwise it lacks much challenge. AA RATING : 64% The best Amstrad bike simulation so far. CB, AA

CPCrulez[Content Management System] v8.732-desktop/c Page créée en 649 millisecondes et consultée 4253 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.
