There is no doubt that this game is one of the most remarkable ones to have appeared on the 8-bit Alan Sugar computer. Its release date is and through it, we see just how much CPC can accomplish when it has the right push. Each level is one of its kind and quite stunning. The gameplay is good and the Prince is very responsive.
We never do know but we think that if CPC had released more games like Prince of Persia and not Bridge It , a lot of things might have been different. You cannot talk about top ten Amstrad games without making mention of a Dizzy game. So we took the decisoon to make mention of the game where this hero goes through the Fantasy World to find Daisy, his girlfriend. Fantasy World is superior in game play, quality, puzzles and visuals.
We are not surprised by the amount of love it received and still receives. This game is one of the best isometric adventures that Amstrad and a lot of other machines to be honest has featured and we love how ageless it is. The design of each level is just mind-blowing and every interaction between the characters is stunning.
This is hands down one of the best adventure games to have been created. How many had the game? Was it a cheap budget cassette game that sold th or a expensive disc only in limited editions?
Or should it be judged by technical excellence or just for having simplistic fun gameplay or having a challenging mindboggling hard gameplay? When was the game sold within the amstrad "lifetime" or and does later games or remakes count as well.
Just looking at the list and i see 12 games i didnt have back then. This dosnt mean much tho as i saw most of the games back then while playing games at friends etc. But still there is a couple that makes me go "huh? Wasnt this a disc only game and who actually had a disc drive in ? The people who could actually play this back then must have been so few that they couldnt form a soccer team if they wanted. Or perhaps im missing something being non-uk? Still, im surpriced that this old game jumping in as the 6th best amstrad game ever, lol.
First impression i from looking at the list was: some spectrum owners going "did you see that game? Those amstrad owners musta loved that one"-vibe. Or perhaps a bit of youtube 8bit wars comparison.. Then there is A.
C, lol. Personally id probably remove Batman as it is a really ok game but Head Over Heels is already in there Batman would probably fit nicely in a top , and i dare not say freely my opinion of the 4 colour mode 1 3D iso games either. Exolon is also a great game and even tho all games by Raffaele Cecco are great.. To celebrate 25 years of Amstrad Acton , we now publish, for the first time, the top 10 games reviewed in the pages of Amstrad Action , including snippets of quotes from the reviewer, convenient links to the review pages themselves and the issue in question all linked to the CPC Oxygen AA online archives.
The world created is so vast and absorbing that it presents a continual challenge and endless variation. The sequence of screen shots gives an idea of the real environment you can move in. Being able to move under, over, around and into solid 3D objects is a revelation in itself. Sound is limited to the odd effect but these are well done and alert you to things happening. The gameplay is tough to get to grips with but soon becomes a joy and a constant challenge. And that could be quite some time.
Fiendishly compulsive and graphically superb, this is a knockout Mastergame.
