C&VG (Issue 2 (Dec 1985)) 17th Jun 2016 10:07MACHINE: CBM 64
SUPPLIER: Quicksilva
PRICE: £7.95
Sequels to hit games aren't usually as good as the original, and this is not exception. With the software now in full swing, this game, isn't as stunning as it was' when first launched for the Spectrum.
Ant Attack is set in an ancient city called Antescher. The only inhabitants are some very large ants that thrive on human flesh.
At the start of the game, you can choose whether you want to be a girl or boy. You then have to rescue 10 members of the opposite sex who have been captured and are hidden somewhere in the city
Control is by joystick only and, as you guide your character through the ruined city, you realise the true 3D effects of the program.
The walls are beautifully drawn in three shades of grey to give the appearance of distance and texture.
The ants move well and are very intelligent. You'll need to keep a finger on the ammo key to stay alive. Pressing one of the four function keys will explosion for the 64 redraw the scene. From a different viewpoint which, because the game is in 3D. will often give you a clearer view. The graphics for the ants aren't as good as the Spectrum version, though.
Sound effects are limited, probably owing to tack of memory.
Ant Attack is an above average game for the 64 It offers fair competition to the disc-based games currently on their way over here from the good old U.S. of A
