Longplay for "Manhattan 95" on the Amstrad CPC!

Do you ever find it crazy that some big movies from the 80's never had official licensed home computer games? From Arnie's Commando to even Mad Max being completely ignored... but both 'inspiring' many countless un-official games we all enjoyed! A body of work criminally overlooked is most definitely director John Carpenter's! (Well, one terrible attempt was made with "Big Trouble In Little China" but we don't talk about that!!) Surely his classic "Escape From New York" would be perfect for a computer game? But what if I told you that we DID get a game (an un-official one of course) in all but name, and that it's been right under our noses all these years in France from UBI Soft of all companies! Under the name .... "Manhattan 95"! THIS is the game we are investigating and longplaying here...
