I can't understand why Bomb Jack is so successful, I must be missing something in the game which has already proved very successful on the Spectrum and Commodore and has now been converted to the Amstrad. The game involves bouncing around the screen, as high as you can and guiding your bounce with the joystick trying to clear the screen of bombs. The usual weebles get in your way and there are the usual bonus objects which allow you to leap safely on your enemies.
The only possible point of interest I can find in the game, which is. I admit, a very exact replication of the arcade machine original, is that each screen is played out on a scenic tourist spot from around the world Well. I suppose all that computing power that isn't being used on the graphics or game logic might just as well be used for picturesque backgrounds. Still, there are evidently plenty of people who do find Bomb Jack a thrilling game, and this is certainly a professionally produced conversion. Popular Computing Weekly |

Page créée en 463 millisecondes et consultée 13541 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. |
