               NOVE!?


(C) ANTONY


   Greetings to you, the inhabitants of the beautiful world 
SPECCY! 


   How do you there? 'm Not thinking about a change of address 
to AMIGA-WORLD or worse on the IBM-WORLD?! I hear your friendly 
cries: "No, Never!" No way! ". Well, right! And, in 
confirmation of the correctness of your decision, I present to 
your strict Court of the newest toys, appearing on radio 
markets Mitino and "Caricino" last weekend. Review, as always, 
is based on materials kindly provided by firms "FFC COMPUTERS 
"and" SOFTSTAR ". Now let's begin ...

   Just want to note that the admission program notes is a good 
trend. Especially for domestic programs. This trend is that 
more and more leaves programs, forces users to strain gyrus, 
have already begun to die off was due to a long strumming in 
games like "Kill them all!". For example, today's survey by 90% 
is devoted to logical games. 


   The game, which I began to speak, is the undisputed leader 
of the current week. Goal of the game: to collect a pattern of 
pebbles in which one side black and one white, on this model.

It would seem that might be easier, but the difficulty is that 
as Once you touch the one of the pebbles, the adjacent to 
opposite color. In addition, the solution to every problem you 
are given only 5 minutes and the whole game 3 credits. True, if 
you use the CHEAT MODE, then the game will increase to 15 
minutes. 


   The game is the conversion of the game from the PC AMIGA, has
amazing graphics, good music and excellent service. You
have the opportunity to create their own levels, due to
built-in editor and save them to disk. You can play as
to normal games, and in the mode CHANCE (if you're in it
win, you'll see one of the 18 scanned images).


   More detailed information can be obtained from HELRa 
prepared by the authors of the program. I have no doubt that 
you will get real enjoyment from this game.

   Do not give our programmers to sleep laurels authors Game 
"LASER SQUAD "! But, unfortunately, does not hold out ...



   So, we have a new military strategy game
"Scorpio. MACHINE OF DEATH". Just want to express regret
complete absence of sound game, although fans
play in complete silence is certainly appreciate. Graphics 
monochrome (black), on the one hand, it does not tire the eyes, 
but with the other, makes problematic the search for the 
landscape rather Small sprites de sponding entities. The 
purpose of the game: controlling an army of people to defeat an 
army of robot scorpions. 


   You have the opportunity to purchase military equipment from 
bases and ibid ukompletorvyvat its sole discretion and 
opportunities. Interference game rather ramified, so in the 
next editions of the newspaper ON-LINE will be published a 
detailed description. While those who played in the "LASER 
SQUAD", will not be difficult to understand it, the more so 
because all the menus in Russian.

   Those who closely monitor the flow of programs on the 
market, certainly noted the high level of professionalism and 
quality programs prepared for sale by "SEAMANS BEER USERS

HACKERS GROUP ".


   So this program is no exception. To this day
There were several versions of this program. Some worked
only in the 48-meter mode, others only in the 128-meter (but it 
was lost FX). The new version not only works in all modes, but 
and has an initial animation, absent in earlier versions. 


   PURPOSE OF THE GAME: controlling spider clear of insects 
network cities. Of the weapons at your disposal bombs that

discarded in the direction of the last movement of your 
machine. In Every city you should find the womb of insects and 
destroy it super-bomb which you can order over the radio. Radio 
activated key EDIT. In addition, you can book additional 
conventional bombs, fix your robot, and even emergency 
evacuation. All ordered are delivered by helicopter and dropped 
by parachute. You just have it all to find and pick up. 


   Despite the longstanding year of the game, you get a great
enjoy the beautiful graphics and music. In addition, the firm
"SEAMANS BEER USERS HACKERS GROUP" take care of your nerves and
made for you at the beginning of the game "CHEAT MENU", where

   It all started with DIZZY, then came the unusual creature
Zanni, followed by 48 IRON AND, now has a grasshopper SMAGLI. As
his predecessors, he was a heap of confusion, from which you
be its pull.


   Background of his hard life, I will not recount, because
it is presented to you with illustrations at the beginning of 
the game. Want to regrettable that the grasshopper is clearly 
not similar to their relatives and moves so that all the 
grasshoppers of the world would have blushed shame for such a 
relative (though the game he came down with balloon, so that 
his disability gait can be justified to). Describe the game is 
useless, as all such hodilki. By the way, they say that soon we 
will face ADVENTURES Winnie the Pooh ... Here's a laugh!

Virtually goal of the game: fill honeycomb balls of their 
color, bearing in mind that direct contact with the balls of

   Long ago, when I was still very young, and my SPECCY
had only 48Kb of memory, I loved to play the game, where two 
Tanchiki sort things out on the green landscape of randomly 
created computer. In doing so they bullied funny gun, exposing 
the angle flight of the projectile, and the right still 
steaming from the strain, trying to take into account with the 
force of the wind. 


   How was I surprised when I saw the game "TANK WAR" and 
learned that is a conversion of the game with IBM. Tanchiki 
that pleasantly pleased with childhood memories, remained 
unchanged, but but got the opportunity to buy their various 
weapons and their number (Tanchiki) increased from 2 to 7.



   Besides, who does not believe my childhood memories, I 
suggest find the game "BATTLE FIELD" (ATLANTIS SOFTWARE 1988) 
and make sure Undeniable progress of this game, thanks to the 
efforts of our programmers.

   After the release of the 1987 Games "XONIX" there were many 
different Revisions of the topic, but this is different color 
graphics, additional obstacles on the screen and new 
characters. In Overall goal of the game remains the same: to 
cut from a given site area pieces, winning them from the 
monster-balls. The game is designed for logic and good 
response. We can only thank the Ukrainian programmers for 
successful resuscitation of the good old XONIXa.

   If you think that this game in the series DIZZY, and called
it is so because DIZZY smutiroval in brick (he does not get 
used, because of the "48 IRON" was worse), then you are 
mistaken. The bricks in this the game really is, but what is 
DIZZY I did not understand 


   In short, before you next version of the game "COLORIS" with 
a sufficiently large graphics, configuring the level of 
complexity and a soft CHEATom. All your logic survey will be 
accompanied by music or FX-effects of your choice.

   Love our programmers to stir former ... And so, as a result, 
we have a game "GOLD" as she looks at BKpodobnyh machines and 
how it planned to ASCII. The aim is the same: run over maze, 
collect all the gold and hit the road to the next level (Which 
in this game is 20). The game has a "native" CHEAT MODE, but on

   In conclusion, I wish to draw the attention of music lovers
demonstrations in the emergence of a new DEMO, which is called
ECHOLOGY and deserves the highest ratings for the graphical and 
musical performance. 


   That's all. I hope that next week will give a new food
for thought and grounds for a new meeting with you.
