tears are no longer a vest my friends, telling them his
history, which is not touched unless a man whose
never had a computer. The fact that I gave my SPESSY

asked to connect videoskaner. As a result, I stayed for a month 
without computer and getting it found that both the drive 
stopped reading discs archived on the 60 th track, and 
videoskaner, though connected, but no signs of life. As you can 
imagine, this optimism, the situation does not call.

friends. Well, you as a real hero, determined by selecting 
"immortality," go. On your way you are meet a variety of 
obstacles from the trivial to the hedgehogs guards zombies, 
which can only be paralyzed for a time, and robot-killers, 
shooting in all directions of the lasers. You will need to 
collect various objects (including the keys to many doors) and 
find them to use. Each of the liberated your friends will 
provide you any assistance or give advice, so releasing them 
carefully "listen", which They will tell you. Just want to warn 
those who will be playing with "Immortality": if you are 
jumping on the islands over the pool with piranhas, sverzites 
down, die, do not perish, but more will not move, so I have to 
start all over again. . .

   Fans of games like "DIZZY", rise! Although quite an old toy, 
but how it is nice to play solidly make toys and the more well 
otrestorennuyu. So you need to help the little ghost pass the 
matriculation exam. To obtain it, it must be to a certain hour 
to wake the owner of an ancient castle in which it resides. 
Describe passing games of such a plan is meaningless, and 
therefore limit only advice to stock English-Russian 
dictionary, because your path will fall rolls (more of them 
will be two), where you direct text makes it clear that it 
should be done. Be care: a scroll can be read only once, so it 
is old - crumbles to dust right into their hands.

full of monsters, but in addition them, you are now confronted 
more and your opponent, because game "DINA BLASTERS" designed

time, it is necessary and to think and stretch your eye - a 
game for you! 


   Your task, running a fun ball throwing squares,
getting into the squares of the same image. It would seem that
may be easier, but do not forget that you have to take into 
account topography of the room and keep pace with time, which

shooting range. Perhaps it is someone else happy.

   Currently lived in the world bunny, not meddling with 
anyone, gnaw cobs on a nearby field and was sad about the times 
when on the field planted carrots, because carrot he loved more 
than anything else ... 


   And on the outskirts of the field was a vegetable processing 
plant. And learned bunny that evil dogs and rabbits, which 
apparently does not eat vegetables, and their hangers-ferrets 
have decided to arrange for plant sabotage and deprive our poor 
bunny last food item. Our furious bunny from these thoughts, 
tied on his head, the first under his paw caught and went to 
wet these enemies vegetarian lifestyle. And as for luck, on the 
floor at the factory carrots strewn on the harvest of the year 
our bunny is not remembered because it was still the world was 
not. As our hare to dine as he Silushka started playing, so it 
all ferrets dogs and rabbits, meat-eaters in a heap and 
collected from the mother plant kicks him out. And he, as a

   Somewhere I've seen it ... Monochrome graphics, the absence 
of any sounds during the game, not counting the music during 
the transition from level to level, on-screen sight, which you 
control and nemerenoe number of enemies that rush across the 
screen your monitor to make you a colander for noodles ...



   Someone of you will exclaim: "Yes this is" OPERATION WOLF 
48Kb "!". Another says: "No, it's" A-TEAM "!". Do not argue, it 
is that not worth it. The game is clearly weak for years after 
its release, and suggests the sad reflection on the 
advisability of the issuance of such games sale without 
elaboration effects up to 128 mode.

   Imagine the situation: You sit yourself at home, drink beer 
and Suddenly the skies poured sort of radiance, that it hurt my 
eyes. AND Once you start thinking about how to quit drinking, 
as with heavens a voice that literally tells you the following:

"My space ship crashed on your planet. He
captured by space pirates. They disabled the life support 
system and activated the self destruct system. You need to 
deprive them of energy crystals and deliver it to me. I can 
help you only equipment and weapons. Hurry, because time is 
short, and if there will be an explosion, then my ship and Your 
world will come ... "Here, communication was lost and you saw 
in the middle of his room antigravity chair and 6 species of 
the coolest weapons: flamethrower, flying disc with blades, a 
compact nuclear bomb, plasma, turbo generator and shield. And 
now, finishing his beer and dressed in all those bells and 
whistles, you go to save their home planet ... 


   According to schedule a game like "DAN DARE III", but a 
labyrinth which you will be fighting a much steeper.

   I like very much when there is an opportunity to compare 
different versions of the game. Firm "FFC COMPUTERS" gave me 
his version of the game. At this point I already had a version 
of the same game, released by "CODE MASTERS". Have something to 
compare! In the beginning of the game. 


   Adventure game from the series of James Bond. Here you and 
jumping parachuting, and shooting on the streets, and chase 
vehicles, and underwater duel. As you can imagine, this game is 
very lose, Unless you have a cool FX and music. As the game 
came in two firms in the pretty bit of form, out of this 
situation was few. The guys from "SV" took the path of least 
resistance by inserting into the game a few tunes, which, 
incidentally, occasionally buggy. The guys from "FFC" hooked 
special effects literally at your every action (up to the 
cotton from disclosure parachute!), while the music played 
during the transition from level to level. AND One more thing. 
In the title game menu labels are made MULTICOLORom normally 
not work on all machines. The guys from "SV" just made off 
MULTICOLOR, ie if you have is not, that means no luck. The guys 
from the same "FFC" give you the opportunity to see the game in 
the original, since it made possible adjustment MULTICOLOR 
under your computer. Here is a different attitude to work. 


   The game gets 8 points.


   Well, today is all. Let's hope that the coming week will be 
generous for new acquisitions.
