Quick opinions about lots of games
Posted: Fri Nov 22, 2013 4:50 pm
Here are my first impressions about some of CV games:
- astro pinball : nice graphics, a fast ball animation but a real lack of fun and accuracy with the flippers. So, it is near impossible to aim bumpers, etc.
- auto chase : nice little game. Great graphics but it seems really difficult. I have noticed that the smoke at the rear of the car can completely miss the dark cars!
- chopper rescue : it seems to be a zaxxon-like but I haven't found any fire possibility. I can slalom between buildings, pass through tank fuels but … what else? I have seen a sort of fly but it destroys me when I enter in contact with it.
- deep sea adventure: has silimarities with Defender and smooth scrolling. It seems to no have a goal. Cool game but quickly boring.
- locomotive : it seems to be a remake of Burgertime. Relatively fun and with good realization but not very easy and the movements of the main character are not very accurate according to me. I prefer Burgertime on Intellivision!
- planet defender : clone of defender with very smooth scrolling. Just too bad that there is people to save on the ground. So it is just a basic horizontal shoot 'em up. But very great animation! Far better cosmic avenger on colecovision.
- police jump : clone od donkey kong but with some good ideas. The fact that the three screen are not separated is great, and there is some changes in comparison with DK. No hammer, we have just to go on the top platform to pass the level, the rivets cannot be take off by jumping but only by walking on them. The difficulty seems a bit higher than DK (on colecovision for example)
- soccer: completely horrible. a lot of flickering and a sluggish animation. Probably the worst game on this system.
- stone age: very good graphics. Love the fact that the position of rocks is randomized. But don't understand if it is a commercial game or an unreleased? Good concept too.
- tank attack: not tested for the moment
- tennis: good graphics, smooth animation. This tennis program seems to be similar to the Atari 2600 real sports but is has not its gameplay and its replay-value. The Atari tennis game is fantastic, with really sped animation, good playability. Here the movements of tennis men is not very accurate and it is near impossible to play volley and it is near impossible to master the ball. As I love playing tennis in real life I am a bit disappointed with this game. Final Match Tennis on Nec PCEngine is the best
