     IFC: A small tip holders INSULT MEGADEMO gives
Dmitry Timokhin from Moscow.


     Reporter: As you know, after
part of the 3200 Sin-Dots is a scroller, where you're asked to 
press RESET. If not to touch anything and wait until the 
message THE END is not scrolled 20 times, appear the words HAVE 
A NICE DAY! and will load the other parts, actually written in

     Reporter: Seeking information on the game of CATCH 23. In 
my opinion, this is one of the best games for the Speccy. 
According to unconfirmed reports, the goal of the game - find 
the center of the complex on the island CATCH 23, found there 
documents and drawings shuttle CK 23, able to fly in the 
atmosphere, then mine the reactor

and escape. This I read in the book "500 matches, Issue 3. Ibid
states that the player has
some kind of "biographies" and a map. I did not found
but we found out the following:

     1. The red arrow on the control panel - the direction in
home to the terminals. In the book "500
Games says that the terminals
allow contact with some
scientist, but I did not find the password.

     2. To set the bomb,
just press the button B, and then set the timer.

     3. To switch
mode of investigation, you can press I. Appears on the screen 
magnifier. They can be managed, and when you move the 
magnifying glass to object and press the "fire", you

receive information about this
facility. Exit - SPACE.

     4. To enter the house, it is necessary
enable the investigation
to put a magnifying glass to
door of the house and hit the "fire".
Similarly, you can leave the house.
A small note: in the houses is only mode of investigation.

     5. On the shelves in the house can be
to find a weapon. The cabinets have a bomb.

     7. If you hover your cursor over the
inscription SAFE (also in the house), then
You can save or load
state.

     That's all that we found out. If anyone could
pass on - please, please.

     Now you need to turn around and
go left to the end, jumping from site to site and
beating on the way miners
all that is at hand. Be
careful - on some platforms from the ceiling breaks
poisonous gas, which immediately you
kills.

     Having miners, turn around and, with the help of a pole, 
jump onto the third floor. Now go right. After jumping the 
first failure and passing the hook that

and strives to throw you down,
You have to go through yet
nozzles in the floor, spewing gas.
Now falls in the second failure.
You should fall onto the ledge. By
ledges and go down
Stand on the rock around which beat the water. A little later
You will see the behemoth, passionately
wishing to transport you to your
back.

     Thus, according to the hippopotamus and the stones, you 
get to the island, where in the tree hides

a large boa constrictor, and occasionally doing lunges in your 
direction. Slew reptile, go to the end of the island and

the familiar "begemotnym" means go to the island with a palm 
tree. At this stage, watch out bird that and strive to

carry you into its nest. Bad reason with a whip or a bird

     Reaching the waterfall, take the pole and jump up onto the 
ledge, then the next, and so to the top. Zaprygnuv on

top of the hill, wait for a bird that you will carry off the 
nest, but another. Committing a non-stop

flight from the "mountain-jack, you should go left to the ledge 
and jump up. Killing boa constrictor in a tree, go to the left

swamps. Now grab a
grenade and wait for the crocodile. Finished off a predator, go 
to the marsh turtles. After passing the second swamp, go to 
failure, which must jump through pole. Now you need to collect

in trees five stones. Do it your way natives
shooting at you from the bows, and gorillas, which are 
impossible to kill. 

     Gathering stones move
further, to the native standing alone, and he will read you the 
whole congratulatory speech.


     The game has a bug -
when you are traveling trolley or
rock falls, press the "fire" and
not send it - you will not receive any damage.

     The only not hostile
to your being - the hippo. All
others must quickly kill
or they'll kill you.

plate, waiting for the UFOs will move to the sight, and

shoot.

     First, a few tips:

location, jump over the pit bottom,
not jumping on this site
sushi. Otherwise, you could die.

     3. When you use the A
BAG OF GOLD, set the current
subject A DIAMOND SCULL, so
like a balloon can not rise into the air, if you log
into the location with DIAMOND SCULL not
was set the current object.

     So, from a room with snakes
Go right down the road you find a pound plummet.
Take it and go right, jumping the elevator. Jump onto the
pedestal with a bird and take
it. In this case, the current object
should stand plummet, otherwise
door slammed shut.

     Return to the elevator and climb up, then go left along

monster bird.

still left. Take A BAG OF

Lift A DIAMOND SKULL. Return to the elevator and go up.

     IFC: A question on the game NIPPER
2 defines Anton Lukyanov from the city
Ekaterinburg.

     Reporter: This game is very prevalent in our city, but
so far I have not met
one normal descriptions. From
collection "500 games" managed to find what you need to spoil
life for all inhabitants of the game
space, provoking them in various ways, but will be increasing 
"prokazometr" and, eventually, the baby gets

Castle in the Highest disobedience.
Managed to increase prokazometr
only 4 points (and even then,
it is not clear how): wake up the sleeping savage (and wait 
until he fell into the water), throw a coconut in the hornet 
nest, and then put in a house honey on the screen next to 
(Wasps will notice the house and kicked out the poor Indians). 
With a lantern and pineapple attack dogs (the screen under the 
house the Indians). The game has a lot of objects of unknown 
purpose - shopping bag with a snake, for example, or a mouse or 
a chocolate bar. What about the mouse is the idea that she

could scare an elephant, but realize it is not possible. I have 
a suspicion that in some locations to get some special way - 
maybe be, there is the castle of disobedience?


********************************


     Reporter: Is there anyone else
information about the game SWEEWOS'S
WORLD firm Gargoyle Games? I

Bears and banks can get up
getting way to high-lying objects or
new locations. Plates with horns have to drive under any heavy 
object (eg, box on the log). If you catch

when the chest run
goose, then the chest can knock
the bird.

     It is not clear how to get Boo.
What is the goal of the game?
