 Memory: 48/128
 Size: 2544 Sector
 Note: Journal



         The joy (or maybe not) Tomich, finally
the first issue of ZX-PLATINUM. Apparently, the sensitivity of 
pride in his native town, prompted the authors to create his 
own magazine. Of course this is not SPECTROFON, or ZX-FORMAT, 
and not even FAUNTLESS, but his own. And who knows? if it does 
not stall, maybe we'll see something like by SINCLAIR TOWN or 
Chelyabinsk SPECCY. So far things have authors are not as bad. 
Output of the second room was scheduled for September 9, but 
for now it's hard to say when we see it. Reviews and criticism 
for its part will not speak, have a look and enjoy. 

         In the annex of the journal two games: SMAILY and 
KLIMAX. 

         I would like to wish the company and BATTLETECH BLACK 
EAGLE continue the begun work, and find their regular readers.

         What, you do not have this wonderful toys? Really
not tennis - your favorite sport? If yes, then surely
Seek out this toy, and believe me, it will give you many 
pleasant hours (unless of course familiar with management, it 
is not hard to do and you do not scare nekotoroya Ping game).

I myself am not a fan of tennis, but a lot of time spent at the 
computer (about four years ago, when there were very few drives 
I struggled with cassettes), trying to win an opponent in some 
PSION-ovsky tennis. There were several other simulators, but 
when I first ran INTERNATIONAL 3D TENNIS, then almost fell

from his chair when he saw the triangular tennis players with 
the same triangular bats, walking like robots to their game 
positions. (I still fortunate that the balls were not the same 
triangle). In short I was fascinated by a toy for its 
originality and humor. But When I tried to play, I was not 
laughing. Not so simple as it seems at first. You'll be a while 
cover mate all the programmers who made this game. Then click on

red button. After some time again to return to this
game, and as a result, either you learn to win against an 
opponent or break the keypad, as did the ZX-IGOR. Well, let's 
play?

         Fell in love with our people this game is sunk into 
the soul. Can remember the exact versions of Number 'color 
line' for Spectrum? I doubt it. The exact number nobody knows. 
And now for SPECCY appears next 'remake' of this game, the 
number of versions lagging except that of a popular Tetris.


         The main advantages of this version are: monochrome 
and color mode, unobtrusive music, management (all but Kempston 
Joystick), account records, and game settings. 

         Disadvantages: a few slow-motion ball (so
was intended by the author). Even if the long look, then you do 
not find messages about the author of the game (except in a 
table of records) to select the control you need to guess to 
press BREAK. 

         Given all the shortcomings, this is the best COLOR 
LINES of all, I've seen on the Spectrum.
