Sdaw is a 1990 action game developed by Fabrice Caillaud, Lionel Caillaud and Arnaud Dewilde, and published by Lankhor for the Amstrad CPC.[1]
Plot
[edit]In the aftermath of a global disaster (World War III), the world is left in ruins, with most humans transformed into mutants. A handful of survivors engineered a sophisticated robot known as S.D.A.W. (System de Defense Anti-Wobblegobblegobbledegook). Players assume control of S.D.A.W and operate from sewers, tasked with the mission of eliminating unwanted occupants by restraining and dismantling them.[2]
Development
[edit]Sdaw has a 16 colour palette and the game world's labyrinth has around 200 screens.[2] its use of "mode 0" allowed for graphics that were very difficult to find at the time.[3]
Reception
[edit]Sdaw received an 82% from Amstrad 100%,[4] 60% from Joystick,[5] and Tilt gave it a B.[6]
MicroNews felt that a bit of extra care to the design, for instance in its animations, would have livened up the game.[7]
