* Game room *
We represent your attention a small survey of Spectrum
games, in one way or another connected with cars and motor
racing. Games the genre pretty much, so our review is likely to
be continue in future editions.
PARIS - DAKAR
Zigurat 1991
Rally Paris-Dakar Rally. Once you proderetes
through numerous TECLAD'y and EMPREZAR'y the menu where you
Incidentally, predlagetsya choose the control to continue
predydyschuyu game - enter 4-digit codes, phase and phase of
the race - Europe, the Sahara or something called TENER, on
which very hard drive (probably the suburbs ...: D), you enter
your (You can, of course, someone else's) name - do not know
why - and, Finally, get into the game. In addition to standard
control buttons, in the game have a place to be two more:
ROAD-BOOK - ground pad and CUENTAKI - reset the odometer. These
buttons are very important in the game: in a notebook written
in the first place, information about the health of your car -
to repair and fueling service station there, and your state
capital - for free you will not be repaired, and secondly -
guidance, where do you really need to go. Instructions are
written in Videos: 2 4 ESTE NORTE, etc. This means that 2 km
must go on east, 4 north, and so on. To measure overcome
kilometers and is a counter that can be reset. Most
Interestingly, if written in a notebook, for example, 4 NORTE,
it does not mean that all the 4 km road will lead to NORTE, may
be deviation. Thus, the main thing in the game - do not get lost
recommend to rewrite the piece of paper route information, as
Milestones not observed, moreover, is easily confused
OESTE - west and ESTE - east. Out of trouble in the game should
be Note:
a) drown bridges (to jump)
b) the various items on the roads (ob'ezzhat)
c) abnormal motorists (in every way the parties and not
assimilate).
The game has a very nice color graphics (top view).
CARLOS SAINZ CAMPEONATO DEL MUNDO
ZIGURAT 1990
Another good Hispanic game - this time you
to participate in a dizzying rally car
Toyota. All that is required of you - just to pass the entire
route, trying (if possible) it does not s'ezzhat. It is not so
too easy - even though you and do not interfere with
competitors kamikaze on track a lot of creepy turns, which, when
Tires can not be matched correctly to pass. Tire
it is very responsible, if you make a mistake, your Toyota
turn into a killer platform for natural flora and fauna
(Meaning few viewers - bombers, rustic
parking near the road, for hitting - Immediate
disqualification). Type of road specified in the selection of
tires (Incidentally, in the game these tracks quite a lot).
Sometimes close to road is a pond, where the bully is not
recommended - even though you and Toyota, it does not
amphibian. In between races can be eliminated by injury. The
game is great ob'emnaya graphics, sometimes flying over the
route the birds are very looks like a vulture, and the
enthusiastic spectators waving hands. In a word, plays
perfectly.
LOTUS ESPRIT TURBO CHALLENGE
Gremlin 1991
One of the few automotive toys, where you can play
together simultaneously. Unlike previous games there is no
special bells and whistles, but the game is very dynamic and
beautiful. Your task - to take at least eighth place in the
race car "Lotus" (just in case you go to the next stage).
As I have said, the game can play together, each player on
your screen, so the vertical field of view of several
limited. In the 128K before the game can be seen
picture and read the description and characteristics of the car
on where you will be involved in racing.
TOYOTA CELICA GT RALLY
Gremlin 1992
Perhaps somewhat boring compared to the previous
game - though released later that year. All the same rally in
alone, but this time you litsezreete road from the cabin
car. The interior of the cab made a very nice and
realistically can not be said about the image of the road and
all the rest outside. On the upcoming turns warn you
arrows that appear on the windshield; before the race you
can change the time of occurrence of these signs, and so
way, significantly facilitate the flow of the track. Still have
opportunity to change the management and installation during
the game.
HARD DRIVIN
Domark 1989
Launched in 1989 (!!!) by playing HARD DRIVIN - the only
from all I've seen road games, having the right
called the simulator. Excellent three-dimensional vector
graphics, potryasyayusche complicated technique of driving
(with a minimum control keys), I'm sure will satisfy fans
simulation of toys. If you are lucky enough to have an accident
(And it will happen very often), then you will be able to
contemplate tumbling your car from the side. For players with
strong nerves and good joystick it is possible
jump from a springboard and a ride in a "dead loop" if the same
you do not want to risk it, then your service fast lane.
If your collection has not the beautiful game -
must endeavor to find her.
