[AMSTRAD CPC] Invasion Of The Zombie Monsters – Longplay & Review

Review and longplay / walkthrough for “Invasion Of The Zombie Monsters” on the Amstrad CPC!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! And… I’m back!!

What better way to return with a brand new homebrew game, the theme of which ties in perfectly with Halloween week! This Spanish made game is a conversion of an earlier homebrew release for the MSX which also got cross ported for the Speccy at the same time back in 2010. Nearly 3 years later (released in March this year) comes the Amstrad version! And it’s a little cracker! Very professionally made – could easily have been a full price game back in the 80’s!

The version I’m playing is v1.2, which apparently has very slightly improved performance and gameplay but more importantly allows for 2 joystick buttons so ‘Jump’ is mapped to fire button #2!

One thing I forgot to mention in the review is of course how it’s very obviously inspired by Ghosts N Goblins!

STORYLINE:

Finally, Ned and Linda can enjoy a little time together.
After an amazing day, during which their institute club
obtained the Science Olympiad 1st award for the fourth
time in a row, the happy couple can at last relax at the
city cliff, looking at a fantastic star-filled
night sky. But the happiness will not last as long as
they expected…

Suddenly, a thunderbolt fell from the sky and hit
Ned’s car. When Ned managed to react, he saw a horrible
image: a huge evil shadow had fallen over the city and
kidnapped Linda. The evil being just hid itself into the
city High, taking Ned’s girlfriend with it, and creating
chaos and darkness in the whole town! Ned, still stunned
by the thunderbolt attack, thought it would be
the end for everyone…

But when evil forces rise over the good ones, the
moon casts a spell on the hero, the chosen one, the one
destined to save us all. And the moon cast its power
ray on Ned, who felt strange and full of power again!
Now, with his new powers, he will start his quest to
save his girl and finish off the bad one. Are you brave
enough to face your destiny?
