Demo scene - Black Cat introduces himself.

 Black Cat 

Also known as Panasenko Igor. 


Originally from Cherkassy, ​​that in Ukraine, during its 
calculated from 1976. 
 



  "All my adult life, I communicate with computers.'ve Worked 
with most 

their different views. The first was "Pravetz 8A - 9 th grade 
we teach computer science 

on it. Then there was the "Search", IBM PS / 2, IBM-286 and so 
on until the Pentium. But it's all 

was only for tuition, later - at work. But I also have my 
miracle car and home! 

Basically, I was sure that it will forever remain a dream. And 
suddenly on his birthday 

(1991), I find among the gifts in box good meter in length. An 
autopsy revealed that 

there was a real computer model Robic. " And although he was 
connected to the usual 

TV and recorder, download a good toy lasted 5 minutes (and not 
always ended 

successfully) - my joy knew no bounds. In one of the first 
rooms you can find the Promised Land 

a detailed story about what constitutes "Robic," but if briefly 
- the usual Spectrum-48K, 

slightly modified. 



  With this machine I is transported almost 10 years. 
Basically, he wrote various small dirty tricks on 

BASIC, started a little kodit in GENS'e, but the encoder would 
not consider myself yet. 
 


  Somewhere in the beginning of a new century, my old friend, 
Slider / BrokImSoft, prevail upon me 

Change my cassette miracle on disk Pentagon. And with its feed, 
I got a Pentagon-1024 

with integral three drives, zvukovuhoy and a lot more than. By 
the way, based on the machine anyway, "Robic". 
 


  Generally, it is not so. First there was the "Horizon-128, 
with color monitor, but I was soon on his 

got rid of - not a machine, and a total glitch. And then - 
Pentagon, but with black and white monitor. 
 


  For a while, so I just worked and I played and watched the 
demo, protruded from the music and 

Video ... Then he wanted to do. As tools were selected Alasm; 
good to 

time he had become sufficiently powerful thing. 



  Of course, to do anything alone - almost unreal, had to seek

minded. Thus was born Energy Group. However, its current 
composition is completely 

differs from the original (except me). Subsequently, I received 
an invitation from 

Klim / oHg - to join the association XXL. "The worst will not!" 
- I thought and accepted the offer. 
 


  So far the group consists of: 


<li> Black Cat - the organizer, coder, svopper; 


<li> Glider - artist, designer and developer of ideas, aspiring 
musician; 
 

<li> DisKiller - editor, tester, PC-Supporter (nickname derives 
from the fact that in its drive 

survived only one disk of three, brought from outside). 



  As to the work, the first project (which to this day is not 
complete), was the development of 

Games EXCITE. The idea is taken from a PC, game genre may be 
called, for example, "Sex Manager" - on the ZX 

such games have never been! 



  In parallel, work on the EXCITE was launched our own magazine 
Promised 

Land. It was originally planned as a purely internal (maximum - 
intra) edition 

and the Internet came about almost by accident. And it became 
clear - the magazine people need, but the approach to work 

above it should be taken very seriously. It turned out that the 
PL is completely pushed EXCITE, but it is planned 

to continue active development immediately after the release of 
PL # 4. We hope to release the game already 

this year! If you get a life, put it on component "Your Game 
2003". 
 


  Another of our project (too - almost by accident) was the 
creation of the site. 

Spectrum sites on the Internet a lot, so I had to come up with 
something unique. 

And it came up with: Link exchange program between the 
ZX-sites, a small nonprofit 

banner network. Soon, we think also add a search engine, your 
email and 

etc. 



  That is, in principle, and all the things we are doing today. 
Personally, I have an information 

and managerial support to various interesting projects. So, for 
me is very important success 

shares RESPECT, and I sent so many "bourgeois" forms to be 
filled. Also took a 

RESPECT separate section of the site. I try to participate in 
all ongoing actions (except 

trips to the party): lately it's "Your Game 2002", "Antique Toy 
2002" and, of course, RESPECT. 
 


  You can often hear the discussion on "Is he alive Speccy, or 
have already died a long time?". What is really there, 

we ourselves asking similar questions through the magazine. But 
personally for me and my partners 

command response is unequivocal: Spectrum's alive! And it will 
live as long as it is at least someone who needs it!!!
