Highlander
From: Ocean
Year: 1986
Format: Amstrad CPC
Macleod Vs Ramirez, Fazir looses his head and the quickening CPC style
Comments:
A one-on-one fighting game based on the popular Christopher Lambert movie. There are three levels to choose from; Ancient Scotland where you fight Ramirez, the car park where you fight fazir and the rooftop battle against the Kurgan. The battles can be against the computer or a friend. The game is quite good, you whack away at your opponent until they fall over, their head falls off and you are rewarded with the quickening, but beware their energy replenishes over time. The sprites are well animated and there are plenty of blocking moves to protect yourself with and there is even a funky Amstrad rendition of 'A Kind Of Magic' too! The only problem is that the computer opponents are really hard to beat.
