Takeovers seem to be flavour of the month. Firebird now has the marketing rights to Odin's games Nodes of Yesod and Robin of the Wood.
These have been long awaited and by all accounts are worth it. They are 2D spritey games, In Nodes you play a little spaceman with a pet mole in tow, exploring caves and collecting alchemes. Robin is good at just that -robbin' the rich to give to the poor. In a maze-like Sherwood forest you will find the Sheriffs men, druids and the odd hedgehog. (In the days before the Ml and fast lorries there
were a lot of hedgehogs.) Firebird Gold has passed the Amstrad by, Elite being the only exception. There are at least two new titles being prepared to set that right.
The first is Empire which gets a plug because it is being written by a friend of the Editor. This is a 2D space game with a 3D planet sequence.
You have the everyday job of saving the universe. There are missions to complete, medals to be won and plagues to be cured - but I'm telling you the plot. The second Firebird title has an unpronounceable Sioux Indian name. This is not surprising since there were so many Indian tribes, each with a different tongue, they often resorted to sign language. But that tells you nothing of the game. Well it's 3D, wireframe, with graphics fast enough to shame Design Design. You control a robot which roams the planet surface, running between tall buildings and capturing other robots by taking over their thoughts, a bit like one of the games in Comet. All these ideas being ripped-off are enough to make you Paranoid. You then view the world through the eyes of the captured robot. This game is some way off being released but wait for it - it's gonna be a biggie. ACU #8607 PAGE(S): 1 2

Page créée en 159 millisecondes et consultée 12939 foisL'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. |
