Interface - a letter reading rooms: NoViSeT / Brutal Creators, Di / LSg, Moroz1999, Shame / Madness Technology, Cannibal / Techno Lab.

Hi everyone! Again, we are now writing and reading to
them the same answer. So instituted. It is worth noting that on
some letters that came on an Internet I, (Elf) answered
personally, but here we are with Miguel'em some aspects of our
lives and interesting to readers. Actually, I recently,
unfortunately, become quite lazy, and if you want to quickly get
response - try to write on an Internet, but
be sure - and in any other case
All letters will be read by most
interesting as we usually reply in a magazine. Well there you
go.
The first letter, this time sent
NoViSeT / Brutal Creators:
Editor ADVENTURER dedicated!
Hi everyone! I read your magazine with eight rooms, and
each time I th more and more like the last
number (12) - just a class. Funky intra caused me a lot of
positive emotions, with the intro is not a sin, and to the party
speak ...
Elf> Now, if the party were on the compos on
intro to the magazines - we would have made ...
Well, the magazine itself is not without appeal, the
abundance of materials, though mainly relate to long-held and /
IC, but my opinion, pose the most complete picture of what is
happening in those early days. Personally, I myself was not
present there, but after reading interview, immediately delving
into the general atmosphere Festival, although perhaps not
worth all that typing, word for word, and then in today's
email. press on the Spectrum so sea of all dirt, it would
be better all the profanity just remove it only spoils the
impression, but it was still interesting.
Elf> That's it That's why we tried to accomplish - the transfer
of the atmosphere. If we were doing text of more than pop, free
transfer individual characteristics of the speaker,
maybe you would not have been so deeply
immerse themselves in everything that happened in St. Petersburg
in those days ...
Miguel> Exactly. Still possible because just
restrict ourselves to a brief narration, but it
because shnyaga ...
On the other articles I will not say,
there is more or less normal, I will tell better about the
music, she super glad its quantity and excellent quality,
although some tracks are not new;
Elf> In fact, almost always music in the magazine - exclusive.
If you and It seemed to her that you have somewhere heard
it probably means that we have in a magazine or a remix or a
remake, or even the full version. In general, the music always
paid very much attention.
... But the picture in the main menu, I just killed the
realism. Total I liked the magazine, and design and
content and a good application, all
well, sorry that only redkovato out. Thank you very much for
your work!
Elf> Thanks for the good reviews. We all
time, reflect on a more frequent
issue of the magazine, but life still makes
their adjustments. We promise for the future
continue to attempt to resolve the issue.
Yes, we too wish Izhnews DC
development for the better, your newspaper
also very interesting to read, especially in
lately!
With best wishes, NoViSeT /
Brutal Creators!
The following items a letter from Di / LSg:
So decided to write in your journal. Why to you, but
because after Born Dead'u came Dead, I think that
your magazine is the best (not even counting the
that you do not have the best hull).
Elf> Yes, on the shell we're all the same,
perhaps something will be resolved in the near future,
but for now enjoy the classics;).
I was waiting for your magazine more than a
whatever edition, after the death of Born '
Yes. No, of course we could write
in DEJA VU, but in my opinion, they log less
popular than yours. But if the letter is nothing
he will not, I'll write in another publication.
Elf> What's stopping you write and Deja
Vu, too? Typically, the authors are very pleased
letters of support.
All I wanted to say I could
release and in the newspaper, on the basis of
example TM1.17, but I doubt that
a reader who will read something (I am
do not be offended at me the creators of this nice reading
room), just people have certain stereotypes, and they are
probably even and will not read it, but I would really like to
be heard. A write their own reading room (where the knowledge
that I am no longer writing paper) I think is silly. So I
decided to write you.
Elf> The solution is undoubtedly correct -
Now your message will be carried to
many, and perhaps there will some
responses.
The essence of my further letter the next - I want to
offer a method of raising the Spectrum with the tribes to which
it set of PCs. My idea is that
to raise the Speccy and return it to its former
glory, you must:
1. Create at least one printed publication! (No I'm not
opposed to electronic publications), I am sure that our main
the trouble is that no new people. And how to solve this
problem? Need a propaganda! A that it may be? For example
advertising on television. Sure can, but first of all, it's
expensive, secondly, people will take the best decision if it
will have more information, five-second movie is almost nothing
to give: (. You can write articles in local newspapers, but
even here there are a number of problems, firstly, not everyone
can write well. Secondly, more people get the impression, if
the article (the magazine) will be released somewhere ... Well
for example in Moscow than in any country:) So I think that
just need to produce printed edition, if We need new people.
And they need? Not know about you, and I with great pleasure
that would devote the next few years of life ZXSpectrum'u! Of
course, I understand that it's expensive ... but if the public
support - it is real! Of course, I could and to publish
himself, but first, I did not such a great experience in this
matter (as we say at the Unbeliever 'a), but this is not the
main problem - to learn, but the main problem lies in the fact
that I live, so say, in the outback, and the information I have
few, and the knowledge of the section of
Coding it is not enough: (.
Elf> The idea of course is correct, and soars
in the minds of people long ago, one of its implementations -
"Passage."
2. After the first paragraph
can proceed to more totally ...
Need to appear (or back)
producers of software. And for this we
would be almost everything - after new
people, because they will need new
games and programs, and do not know about the current situation
at this time with Freestuff software, so they are a great
pleasure to buy software from the author, but as our writers
scattered across the country (And even I can safely say the
world), we just need to find a fair, I wish prosperity Speccy
distributors on the ground! And just need to decide the problem
of piracy! It is piracy, not hacking. Why piracy? But because
the hacker is a person which breaks in order to learn
something, rather than break, to get any material benefit! In
principle, I hope that this should not have any problems,
because I'm sure (and maybe not) that these people have still
remained at least a grain of conscience (or desire engage
Speccy), because if we do not take any action - all
our beloved Speccy (which now rests on demah, and e-paper'sah)
flies from us all to hell: (((
Elf> Well you're here at the beginning described the very
so idyllic utopian picture ... So
simply and quickly, of course, nothing happens. And why, in
general, we fly to hell? We will deal with Spectrum until it is
interesting to us, because we do not do it for material gains,
although sponsorship, of course, it never hurts, and then
earning money takes too much time and effort. As has long been
clear, Speccy will not fly away from the us only if we
ourselves do not want this. And, in general, much pessimism
about this, lately, I do not feel, despite the fact that many
people with which we are interested to be working
over a magazine, is now doing something
absolutely not connected with Speck. None
however, they are always ready to help us chemto,
possible.
We'll see what happens in our media
after the publication of this article. She can
someone and inspire to action? Very
I would like, so Speccy continued to live
because the computer is not so interesting
more. For example take the HRC: everything
live by the laws of the wolf - each by itself
itself, every man for himself in the best case
sharing software and everything! As is the case with the Amiga
can not imagine, because I do not seen live Amiga: (. But
judging by the come down to my knowledge - there are not too
sweet - lack of software, and a small number of own
Amigo.
Elf> Amigo A small number of observed
mainly in the ex-USSR, the situation abroad
The situation is different, so do not forget such an
interesting and little spread in our PC - Commodore64, on
which, in general, and was born that All we now call the Scene.
And anyway, buying a PC is not necessarily start live by its
laws, we in fact always a Speccy.
At Spectrum'e has everything you need
but somehow it ...
And yet how strange ... everyone there
Pushkin, Picasso, Rousseau, etc. remember, and
Speccy might be completely forgotten.
There are all sorts of villages, where often
even no electricity (but with this I probably turned down,
though ...), but we already Spectrum ' but not enough, SAU
Give! Lamer! No, you remember how good it was before
during the ZX-REVIEW. Do not want to
back then? Yes, now with Spectrum
run mainly due to the fact that for a program created by the
author or the author of horseradish receives no!: (But the
funny thing is that, is in our hands. There is neither Putin nor
Zhirinovsky, or anyone who might interfere with us - in our
hands and we're trying their year already for some reason
strangle Speccy. But why? You fools! What you will not live
quietly, as if to create the necessary our conditions - after
all is just wonderful! And the fact that for example Black
Raven 2 never released (and sorry) to blame first and foremost
we are all that vpadlu pay some money for the game. No
to break or wait kreknutoy,
khalyavnykh and broken version of the author. Yes, I
himself better than all the rest: (I can admit that, of all
that I have, no _odnoy_ authoring program. But I
would buy the best software author, if
in our city would have been distributors! As
states - not the good life I'm doing. That's why I'm writing
this article - that the people thought, and we would have joint
efforts arose again from head to feet!
Elf> It shows the life - changing
inevitable, we should not treat them well
negatively, in the situation that develops is now also very
much interesting. The scene has just started with us to develop
very interesting to see what it will, and, of course, to
participate in the development of ourselves, in our hands -
it's true.
I very much hope that it will not be
sotryasaniem empty air, a good deal on it
forward, and that awaits us is not a happy future.
Here you imagine - what would happen if
would not party? That's right, no one else
there will be: (And that is all there and go: (So
that it is still not too late, we should all root
change! And most importantly, very Speccy
good computer. He is like a blank sheet of paper, not burdened
with all sorts of manure there (WindowOZ). On the Speccy can
therefore do anything! In the iron part he is as pure as a
dewdrop, as yet very much can be done, and we need! Tak I
I repeat - think!
Elf> That's it, we can do all that
anything, not focusing on the masses, in this
then the beauty of non-commercial underground.
On this yet I have all ... We'll see
What will happen after the publication of this letter.
Yeah, like once in detail tell about myself and about our
group ...
Elf> Yes, we are always interested to learn about
new groups, write on this subject often.
I think some readers may already podnadoest one and same faces
in our interviews).
Hence a taxi ... I'm from the city of Tchaikovsky (one
time LFg 'Schnick called him chankovskim :))). Now, after
(almost) the collapse of CiC, existed in him with 97 (+-), in
our town there is only a more or less progressive group -
this is our Last Spectrum group; by the way, I
now thinking about renaming it,
've already (or more) of our cases are not so
bad. Now the group consists of 6 people
is:
Di - main coder, some gfx, organizer
Dr. 'S' - music maker, swapper
Mister'Pi '- coder, some gfx
Usp - gfx maker
L - some code, gfx, music
Marat - coder (FIG know that he especially did not
itches :))), main critic.
So far, two of our group strained from a computer or with
a life;))) This edit article is finished. We'll see what
tell the public around this issue? Incidentally, Please comment
on the whole this nonsense that I could make at least
one conclusion, one point of view on the question raised by me!
That's all.
Elf> Yes, we are also wondering what ideas
people will come after reading your letter. So write, waiting
for responses.
Here is another very interesting letter, wrote Moroz:
Hello, CPU.
I want to share your opinion on some
sore in recent issues.
First, it becomes noticeable trend
to stop whining about the tragic
death (Oh, what NESCHASTE! heigh TRAGEDY!) we all loved Speccy.
Elf> Yes, this is, admittedly, can not
please.
Undergoing a period of massive depression,
there is finally the realization of the simple fact that "while
I will never wash _sam_ z80 favorite in the sparkling clean
spring morning toilet, nothing has happened to him. All of
incessant controversy this issue in periodicals
("How did we get this dokatilis," "What's next," Who is to
blame ".......) not just leads to an exacerbation of seizures
of sleepiness, and begins to irritate frankly stupid to fatten
like crap in the head already demoralized people. So I think
this thread finally licked and vyshelushennoy, the benefit of
all who Speck was a fleeting tool of Fakov and becoming
self-conceit, already safely piled up from the platform. Now,
apparently, why not start write eye-popping designs and shake
the whole world with the results? No, not yet enough tenacity
and perseverance, people slaughtered at all because of the
number of problems. In my time I also began to write igruhu,
but programmer out of me horseradish and I scored well on this
case. How could withdraw from the situation where the artist is
trying to write a simple 2D engine, and the encoder draws
graphics, and long afterward looking at the screen, trying to
associate the resulting delirium with anything he had seen
before, why not come out any doom-this project? Why are all
engaged in five hundred times repetition of writing engines
to arcades? Exit here alone - to create
prog-editor, which allows having no special knowledge of
programming to create full-fledged arcade even hundreds. I am
the first 'll take such a project and write while
to Mini-game with one level, but on
lnotsennuyu for playability. After all, were the same
in his time editors adventyur why
would not implement such a project and on other genres. What
about Doom: on-site DR I'd try to draw 3d-engine into something
completed and posted to its for free distribution, but even
better would have made a level editor with the possibility of
replacing the entire graphic. What was would see the day Quake?
Duke? But All this is possible and could provide a powerful
impetus to the emergence of software.
Elf> The idea is certainly very interesting, and
relatively recently
www.scenergy.natm.ru
touched on a similar theme, but certainly
pain is unreal, in my opinion, she's there
outlines. Most easily done by
the moment - getting the sources of various dodelannyh and
unfinished projects, though often no one has enough courage to
begin to understand the strange code. Look at us in the
exchange of experience article "How to write a 3D game such as
Doom", and annex the source - perhaps it
will give some impetus to coders, because, mud, there can be
interesting podcherpnut ideas.
I can not understand people who do not recognize
emulyatorschikov, and considering that only real Speccy has the
right to life. A for me so even on the toilet sit astride,
loud splashing feces, only
you would not have scored on this comp. I'll see
as they sing the so-called "Realists" when
will emulsion Z80Stealth supporting General Sound and this
feature becomes available not only to a narrow circle of elite,
but anyone with the HRC and Speck coexist at adjacent tables.
Elf> At the moment Z80Stealth supporting GS already out ...
Miguel> Still AY'shny sound sucks.
Say what you like, but on "real" sound better
so the music in the intro I wrote it on
it. But the magazine to collect, of course, more convenient
under the emulsion, if you want - scold us for
it ...
It would be nice to get people to keep
response of the market. I mean, it is very
many developers praising everywhere
its product ("It will be steeper Elite, Laser Squad, and the
Star Heritage together combined. World shiver with hitherto
unprecedented power ineffable manifestation of genius, and
Spectrum will regain its place in the market components "), and
then safely released demo skis and roll. The best option would
be to create a website developers, where they could learn
project information, proposal or throw blame the author.
Elf> Yes, it would be nice, though not
always missing from the authors at this time and
opportunities, in any case, the Internet in
recently provided us with invaluable
assistance.
Relatively low activity of the masses
I can only say that no threat
will not help raise it. Remains engaged in the business. It is
not necessary to persuade the public, and should pick up these
materials in publications, which are unlikely to leave
indifferent even Ivan Balalajkin Govnoedska from the city. It
is much more difficult, but it is a sure way to get a certain
number of letters.
Elf> yes, that's what we do;)
The magazine simply superb. I can only lightly complained
about the content - it leaves me cold, although the latter
number (12) is definitely a success (mainly due to CC2k
report).
Elf> I hope this will please you too!
Well, like all expressed. Any controversy, and assaults
are encouraged.
Moroz
You have it. And now, following
Message:
Hi Elf, Miguel, Xn0ByS and other
CPU - Schnick also hi!
Wrote you Strade - an artist from the group
Dneprpetrovskoy Voodoo People.
I want to say a few kind words about your journal. After
reading it the first time (It was the 9 th issue), I realized -
Adventurer - A journal for me. In my opinion, even
<Grandpa> - Spectrofon and ZX-Format with
taken not pulled and half coolness
Adventurer'a. Adventurer - a magazine for
this "cyberpunk" soul.
Elf> Well, really you do something really cool to take it.
We just have slightly different directions and ideas have
always been. We respect the above publication. And, of course,
always loved to read them.
And those individuals (difficult word,
his mother), who criticize your magazine -
just an old fart and assholes. After
people who are young at heart and has a sense of humor and do
not write all poddumaet bullshit writers - say, the promotion
of drugs out there, drinking and debauchery of youth. These
words irritate even me (chase in my favorite magazine,
bitches). For most of my friends from the Dnieper-spektrumistov
Adventurer is a favorite magazine. And I sure that in other
cities of Ukraine many admirers of the magazine. So be and are
you sure guys that are doing it does not only for himself, and
eagerly awaiting new numbers hundreds (at least)
guys-spektrumistov to once again sit in front of the
spit-covered monitor for a couple of days, rereading the
article several times and dikorzhat over gags <Uncle Vova>,
drowning out the pouring of the 100 watt speakers next
Cyberspace XXX ...
Elf> Yeah, bro, no bazaar - keep
new number and wait for the next one - will try in the future
does not break off your expectations!
p.s. I have a request to publish in the "iron" all that is
known at this time of DMA sound card. Have any of you is a
miracle? How many programs for it? The only DMA in the river
(This map, which brought David Willis) It scary to watch - it
is collected on cardboard. Zhelezyachnikam all that I did
showed no amount of money would not
for her brothers, they say, the board is reconstituted
necessary. I was told there is wiring in Radio
An amateur in 2000. If you have a layout, please send us
xero-copy.
Elf> Hell, we do so no one has collected it
themselves, so there's unfortunately nothing you do not help,
and help you probably able Shame / Madness Technology, email
which goes further. I advise you to also
read MSF23, and connect with yourself Shame:

Chukanova SY
A That's his letter. In this issue
We are already tired of publishing positive
reviewers, though, and nice to us, but you probably already
tired of reading about the same thing, so this time we have a
little poskipaem ...
Hi, Kent! Hi, Elf!
Th-that I was going and decided namalyavat
you what a good ...
We ourselves are getting on myself slowly,
rulim, kontachim among themselves, it helps to
opportunities user'ov new fruit - oh, and
boring this occupation, and that:) in the glands
picks, all the gates Moore;)
About the "madness" I would like to note that the roof of
my travels just on bloat Speck, though
As every fan, and built myself for the aforementioned purposes
and not only pisyavy box, where, in fact, any CAD'y and other
such labuden to work with iron, and then go and wait for some
here (That's me on the DMA;)
Elf> Of course, it's cool that you have you cut into
gland, we have on this subject all the time, a lack of quality
materials, so that Next time you write - send
anything - schematics, board or any Soup:) And even better on
soap:
elphecy@mail.ru
so it will be speedily!
Oh, and lastly, a letter from the Cannibal / Techno Lab:
Hello, dear journal!
I am a constant reader and admirer of the 7-th number.
Letter sooner or later had to be written, and here
such a moment has come, the more room jubilee, thirteenth :)...
After viewing next issue of the accumulated positive emotions,
there are always some wishes that need to share and wish that I
will. Adventurer - progress is being made - with every issue
Vse becomes more interesting, tastier and thicker. I would say
it is - a small masterpiece edakii collection of the best and
interesting prichem clearly reflects its era.
I want to ponegodovat about unfair criticism from the
Prog-Master'a, and Macros'a, which has undergone VovanChasm,
people who know and love EVERYTHING! A Prog Master and Macros
nichrome in life sharyat.
Elf> Yeah, actually Chasm fumbles in
Life is much more of the above
people, and that is why neither he nor we
attach great importance to such a collision,
at all - it is usually another reason to laugh;).
I'm here to tell the truth, the first read is not
OTTYAG and Reviews software, but after reading
the latter will inevitably press in a chair in
anticipation of wild laughter, and kosteneyuschey
hand crimping keyboard laden ...
Wheel! Ottyag FOREVER! Yes, I am very happy
was read phrases like "young man"
etc. By the way, about this same: One
of two things: either Vovan began to pass, or
was not very successful period in the life
Chasm'a, which is clearly reflected in the contents section,
namely: the previously almost Articles are always written them,
and in room # 12 just been translated from English text. Ought
to be and my pee.
Elf> I hope this issue Ottyag you do not
disappoint, but the review will have broken off ...
I want to continue the Terminator!
Elf> Vovk said that the Terminator is unlikely
whether to continue to write, but something in
this spirit is sure to be in the near
the future!
Okay, enough about Ottyag now on
the rest. Very beautiful picture in pls'a
# 12 issue! Interview with Unbeliever'om prompted me to remove
the already rather dusty disk with the elite and take several
weeks, having thrown all the other things, "remembering" past
feats of arms " (Incidentally, crack release of the very ELITE
golden edition, I could not get it
: ()
Elf> Yes, it so no one and no, I suggest that everyone
collectively to collide with Unbeliever'a, because wishing to
make a qualitative release certainly is, but here's a copy of
the Elite golden edition is available only from him; (.
Read the interview is very interesting,
particularly quadrupeds people to read about them
plans and developments. Finally, the public learned the truth
about / IC, saw the light BD # 11. Well. Well, the application
generally great!
Well, quite flattering words, now
wishes: it is possible to modify the shell and
opportunity to do so trendy right now
dragging windows, as in Deja Vu, for example. Animation, 3kolor.
Elf> In fact, we still can not understand why the magazine
opportunity to drag windows;). But here's the other
improvements we ought to really make a lot of ...
More "stuff" text sprites. Of course, writing a new shell
with a new design, probably does not make sense (and no one?),
Because we are all accustomed to seeing this magazine is the
way it is, and it a tradition.
Elf> We've got Alff and Veka! So
that all is not lost in this regard!
About me: Spectrum engaged
with a 95-year, with 98 seriously, back when got 128 PC with a
floppy drive. Now am a member of Krasnodar Techno Lab team at
the post gfx-artist'a, writer'a and slightly encoder. On the
stage is not well known in connection with constant breakdowns
of my long-suffering Spectrum, which I have replaced more than
one times. Now, after another failure Spectrum, I spit on all
the real curse Spectrum and assembled PC. I work at the
emulsion. Of course, I want to live, this ZX'a,
but the situation with local Harder even more sad: (. By the
way, I too suffer syndrome Paracels'a: B / W TV: (, making it
very difficult process gfx-making'a, so Moreover, the PC in
black and white color shrunken CRT - hell. That in such
difficult conditions to work.
Elf> Yes, life is often full of crap
: (.
Now a few words about the game making'e.
I fully support the idea Slon'a, enthusiasm Demon'a and I want
to note: These articles are needed! Now I would like to know
about rapid withdrawal of sprites psevdotrehmernom form, as in
La Abadia, UFO1-2, Black Raven 2 (demo) and their ilk. After
Vse still on the threshold of the 21 st century and I think an
article on this topic would enrich the minds of beginners
geymmeykerov. After all, as it will be convenient to write RPG,
and in general, 2D measurement procedure nabilo mouth. I hope,
dear Demon write an article and someone else, and a map editor
for the pseudo-3D sprites. How ever it will be possible to tell
(not again, but again) about AI, but ... Too my appetite
increased.
Elf> At the moment of the Demon, unfortunately, one can hardly
expect anything in terms of art, except that the vodka with him
drink: (.
About rattles and pasochkah. Adventyury
RPG and it's cool! It is a pity that adventyury as
those died, and the RPG near. There
such igruha cool Pyracurse, but deal with it, I could not
because of the small count of lives, and cheat'a or poke at I
do not have. : (Incidentally, I'm a big fan of the trilogy,
Fairlight. Fairlight1, 2 - both these games evoke memories of
childhood, 48k and recorder. And indeed igruha rulnaya and I
wonder why so far no one imprisoned quality crack release of
this masterpiece? Again and again, like Pyracurse, Chief
drawback of the game is too fast dying. What do you think is
worthy of a Fairlight be attached to your magazine?
Elf> Igruha just cool, I do it
big fan, but that the application
We try to find lesser-known but
no less interesting game, in my opinion, Times
of Lore in the last room - a real masterpiece, I still can not
understand how turned out that she almost was not
known to us. I remember, Veka like once held Fairlight, may be
to convince him to write something on this
topic in the future ...
Continuing the conversation on gaming themes I want to say
that I am a big amateur Lords Of Chaos. I remember, Step'ovtsy
long ago promised to release a release with additional levels,
but this We could not wait ... People! If someone has a level
editor for this igruhe or at least demo-editor (was once a long
time was), please - send it to me the soap: sa7an@hotmail.ru
and I shall cut no one level, not forgetting to touch up the
new graphics, monsters, and possibly completed yet demo-version
of the editor.
Elf> Yes, it would be really cool!
If we are anywhere gets caught, we'll
will send.
Well, it's time to round ... Finally,
Adventure wish to be as interesting and beautiful, stuffing to
continue to grow in volume with the same trend. Cyberpunk wish
above all not die of drunk and drugs, because health is more
important everything!
Elf> No, do not bend, we are still interested in this reality;).
Well esessno, all the best, not
Speck throw, drink as much beer and vodka, drank much before,
and all all the best!
Cannibal / Techno Lab
Elf> Thanks for writing! Write more, we
very interesting love letters with constructive suggestions.
Well, sort of, all the while, before meeting
in these rooms, and even better at some party, for example
Millenium 1902, where we're going to go!
