     Hello, dear readers and ridershi that
translated from the good old inglisha on
not less than the old, and maybe even more
Good Rashn mean - readers and readers. I - CHASM of INFOSOFT 
pleased to welcome you in the first news release (hopefully not 
last). It will not be news about the dollar, foreign and 
domestic politics, sports - all news here any side (right or 
left, though For some reason I like the right -

hmm, what am I doing? ) Will deal with computer life in our 
area (there in mind Yaroslavl). Tusanuvshis recently

in our market for the Volga, I collected the rumors and news 
about our programmer and now I bring this information to you. 
Begin 

from Rybinsk, and that someone was not offended, in 
alphabetical order. 

     As you've probably already noticed,
AURYN GROUP is engaged in production of electronic journal 
ADVENTURER. With each release it becomes steeper and steeper. 
Significant role in this whole krutote played Breeders 
Constantine, who directly and encodes a shell that we all loved 
the publication. In this issue, he even surpassed SPECTROFON, 
and now you can enjoy flipping through the pages of article not

only podgruzhennom block, but, and, if desired, to return to 
the previous one. On the keyboard was added a few more hot 
Keys, if this will continue, soon there will be no free 
pedalek, and any touch to the clave will cause flickering 
screen and buzzing drive. Incidentally, until recently, Kostya 
was a We untitled, that is, he was no call-name. But think 
twice, he corrected this nuisance and proudly had called FLEX 
SOFTWARE. 


     RAY finally brought to the commercial
type puzzle game "Craps poker, knocked out NEVER'a music and 
screen saver. Samu din, you can see in the appendix. And,

apparently he was "tied up" with rampant
diskovizatsiey adventyur. Now he's doing
full disc version only on orders
workers.


     CAV Inc. started writing nondeterministic games. Looks 
like it will be "Soldier of the future" and "Virus". Hopefully, 
it will take an interesting story line first and dynamism of 
the second. He also wrote the text of the converter XAS in 
TASM. 


     INFOSOFT. If you honestly say we
all the big lazy. I drink beer NEVER'om
(A bit too hot). JOHN IVANOV already about a year doing 
nothing. Summer 1994 year he began making "Trubise", but did

not finish. And the idea he had a better
than SUNNY TRAM - even mode for two
players (two cups). Well, that passed, that

does not change. PROTECVISION other day and bought
your IBM CD-ROM, and now their project -
MASTER OF ORION postponed indefinitely, due to the fact that 
even fetched them from this great calculator

looking in.


     Next story can be viewed from two sides. The first side is 
a bit sad: the SHRSOFT'a burned AMIGA. Not doverayayte 
Switching power supply, even if they were made in England! 
After two years of trouble-free operation the power supply 
device Romino AMMY deign glyuknut, after which the body 
computer went blue smoke. Having reviewed poor fellow, SHRSOFT 
gone into a trance - fee abslolyutna was not funktsionabelna, 
while "Dope" even melted head. Tucked under the arm hammer did 
the rest - Now just do not pay to fix it. In living

interpretation remained a driver disk (disk drive), so the 
white tailed rat (mouse). (Editor's note: why continue article


dedicated to defending, a promise to N3, you
Dear readers, you see, because it
burned together with the "screw". But let's hope that SHRSOFT 
meet with the forces and be able to resurrect the lost.)


     And now look at this problem from another angle. Since the 
Roma - a true fan of computers, it will live without them could 
not / would be funds for a new AMMY, it would be would have 
bought it / as well as Russian inzheneram pay little, and with 
the not regularly, SHRSOFT, shaking his

Friends, zaimel PENTAGON 128 and went back to the good old 
SPECCY! Now long bred them and SURGEON'om project

games based on "HIRED GUNS" has all the
chance of being completed. For those who do not
knows what a "H.G." it says - it is a game type "DOOM", but not 
with three-dimensional graphics, and with rigidly fixed 
locations. The game of this genre are written in

Yaroslavl - is "Return to home", but if
believe our programmer, and their creation
must be an order of magnitude steeper. Besides, from
provides initial combat mode by
local area network (such as DEATH MATCH in DOOM),
Support Click Here to multiple machines.


     Michael Malyshev, from SIMPLE COMPANY,
after his "Minera" seems to be relaxed
and bumped into things amorous. Though I personally it did not 
interfere with writing articles for magazine. We strongly 
advise you to use the principles of Jose unforgettable series 
"Helen and the boys:" If she sees that you are mad about her, 
she will twist you as she wants. "It is important not to give 
her to relax and make it clear that a true fan of computers 
without their car can not survive. Well, I swing. Continue ...



     After nearly polutorogodovaloy pregnancy, SURDAKAR GROUP 
finally give birth their IMAGINATION MEGADEMO. The child, as 
expected, proved to be post-term. Several spoils the view of 
the neighborhood parts written in early 1995 th Yes, with the 
latest developments. I, on the my SCORPION'e and could not 
watch until the end of this DeMouy since the middle of the 
(part 7 or 8) she was offended and reset, although, according 
to the authors This should not happen. But after

viewing on PENTAGON'e, IMAGINATION left me with a good 
impression. 


     Andrei Smirnov, seems domuchil still
"Road Fighter" and now he was only
level design.


     As we have already casually wrote in the third
room, DJ-DENS be for two years did not
splurge on shoes and clothing - now
its disposal a couple treasury
kirzachey and newcomer HB. So, if
you have any questions then
you'll have to wait a bit, and if
really will be absolutely unbearable, call now to Andrei 
Smirnov (phone, see "Advertising").



     The guys from WREDOSOFTWARE cool offended by Inforkom. 
They still can not get out the money for your LASER

SQUAD EDITOR. Angry pamphlet on this topic
see below.

     Now go to the People, working
individually.


     It seems that now we will not hear new Mouzon from Roman 
Batsana. According to unconfirmed rumors that GUY tied with 
SPECCY. 


     The other day I went to the headquarters - the apartment
AURYN GROUP, which is located in the dormitory, and came to the 
view demo versions of new games Rybinsk. Made

its Paul Mylnikov (PM CORP). The idea is Zavodchikova 
Constantine, she din called "Libra." The game is designed for 
fans Tetris, part-time employees

sellers. Little idea of ​​her original.
Rate it you are able, as it
will be in the appendix.


     Not uncommon that people who
music, doing something on the computer. An example of this - 
NEVER. Once he played guitar in the most famous among the heavy

(Sorry that it has broken up) to a group of our
city ​​"NECROSIS". His feet went our
mutual friends from the team "DISGUST" - MARAT guitarist and 
vocalist (if the vocals can be call it a next growl) DEMON. 
They decided to revive old and write igruhu. Of course, nothing 
supernatural from them should not expect, but I think you might 
be interested take a steam bath for some time for their puzzle 
game with the working title "Angles". It is not their first 
job. In 1994, year they have started and almost done

demo "Road to hell" with a cannibalistic killer graphics and 
music METALLICA and CANNIBAL CORPSE. You may ask why

this demo never saw the light? Reply
easy to idiocy - vanished poor. The guys gave it to me on the 
fine-tuning, while I park the formatnul drive with all-source 

codes, and music. It has to begin anew
no one.


     Now I sat and thought about someone from the people I know 
or at least heard of them, it was not written here, and 
remembered two of his old acquaintances. Certainly,

you come across disc version made
ROS Ltd. and FAST SOFT? I think that came across,
since they were sold at one time even in
Moscow. In fact, on their creative work I have not heard since 
late 1994. I only know that ROS bought IBM. Having decided to 
visit them, I called on the mechanical ROS'u. Called three 
times but never got through. Apparently, not destiny. But for 
the next issue I will find out the reason for their

inaction.


     Recently, on an official visit us
Visit our friends from Yaroslavl: CONDOR
SOFT, NICODIM and companions. The main point of the program of 
the visit, was coming to our Rybinsk brewery, where a glass

another (third, fourth) Zhigulevsky "
(Although I prefer "The March", but in
This time it was not) I managed to pull
have some news about computer
Life in the main city in our area.


     NICODIM decided to pursue his creative career as a new 
game. And this time this again will be modifications to other 
platforms (in the above privacy with AMMY). Original toy called 
"Legend Of Kyrandia", genre QUEST. Is now being pumped graphics 
AMIGA on SPECTRUM. Perhaps in the project will participate, and 
People from Rybinsk: Neighbors Vanya - graphics processing, 
NEVER - sound. So, maybe, and I will make a useful contribution 
to this project. In addition, NICODIM officially stated that 
expect him to play "PIRATE 2" is not worth it as he is not 
going and was never going to write it. And all the rumors about 
its COMING SOON'e - the fruit of imagination of some comrades. 
About "glitches" in the "PRINCE OF PERSIA ": if someone make a 
list 

glitches with a detailed description of their appearance (what, 
where, under what conditions, the what level, etc.) and send it 
to the author (Or the editors "ADV", we will give), then

Corrected version will not take
wait.


     Andrei Kazakov to the end of autumn "Return to home". 
Hopefully, users of the city among the first to enjoy this game.



     PRN CODE, seems tied up with SPECCY.
According CONDOR'a and NICODIM'a, he plunged into business and 
nothing you do not does.



     Journal of Eldorado ordered a long time
live. The third issue of this publication have not
see the light. Former editor in chief - CONDOR SOFT will now 
cooperate with the editors' ADVENTURER'a. Now "ADVENTURER" will 
gather around itself shall not be construed Rybinsk fans SPECCY,


and users throughout the Yaroslavl
area. It only would benefit
and it will be from this even more interesting.


     Yaroslavl was left without its most
talented music maker'a. D.J. MUSICSOFT left for permanent 
residence in Astrakhan. If this city has fans Spectrum, I would 
strongly advise them to find it - you will not regret. 

     On this direct all news
end. It only remains to add that
we had a few new links
SPECCY to fans from other cities. Among
They JOKER from MAFIA, FIKUS-PIKUS from FLASH
and Michael Gusmanov of ATEK (one e-zine publishers Cherepovets
"PIONEER").



     An interesting letter came to us from
fan ZX-SPECTRUM from Kostroma (unfortunately, he does not have 
his name ...) 

     Here's what information he shares:
- Sometimes the program ASC LZPAC incorrectly

  decompresses the compressed block.

  To get rid of this, it suffices

  specify when the compression size of the compressibility
  of the code block more than he is,

  100-200 bytes. And another thing: if LZPAC

  too long thought - it's ver
  LIMITED indication that arose during unpacking
  No error.
- JEMMIMI COMMANDER when writing to disk

  leave their "calling card" on

  zero path in the sector are not used
  acterized TR-DOS. Therefore, the program, about
  who believe the directory structure, will be on

  these discs "curse", although some errors

  and no!
- One note about the "UFO-2". I

  delivered just heavenly delight

  UNDERWATER chasing UFOs and destroy
  le (I quote an encyclopedia), "Do not prednaz

  The values ​​for the battles in the air above (below?)

  continents ...
* And finally, the question of the game "Talisman"

  published in the N1: I succeeded with difficulty
  elk to penetrate the vault, but I do not know

  what to do there?
ADV: Try there "posharit" may, at

     that will encounter ...
