Mosaic - Some comments on domestic programs: Dizzy, 48 irons, Amber War, Soldier of Future.

 (C) MMM


   Hi! I read in the last issue ONLINE'a some comments
about games like "DIZZY". Since I spoke about writing games
our programmers, we want to share some thoughts, namely, to 
criticize some of the games of our programmers. So I hope that 
this newspaper goes to the authors of those games that I will 
criticize, I will refer to them. 


   I will start with 48 Iron. Toy zadumanna, of course, good: 
the plot excellent, do not say anything, but there is "no", and 
not one. Firstly: the music! It is, of course, nice, but 
underneath it you can go to sleep. I do not know how the 
others, but I have this music just ship! As You can run this 
game, if you constantly yawn as well? Moreover the protagonist 
is constantly jumping. Hypnosis is one! I certainly understand 
that Dizzy mutated, into a pillow with ears, but legs can be 
and leave! Ears in there. 


   Second: You guys, for some liquor thought through the logic 
of action? You do not know what a normal person never conceive 
that the skeleton should jump on his head to he poured out? I, 
for example, it happened accidentally committed. Now the second 
stage: no, you just think of the logic of Action: mallet to 
knock in a bowl to somewhere top fell off stairs! What is that 
nonsense? And with a goat that you invented? Towel over his 
eyes! You guys are freaks some! And with elephant? Personally, 
I tried podvzoravt branch on which he sits (It's better dead 
elephant than nothing). Well, the third level is the general 
delirium! What are you guys, scuba could not draw? No, I 
certainly understand - Main - mutant, and he with a jar under 
the water can float. And what, pulled on his square head bank 
instead of scuba gear and swim to your health! 


    Finally I want to say that I am a big fan of "DIZZY" and
always held them without a description, and 48 IRON no 
description to go, I think, impossible. 


   Now about the other game - WAR Amber. Just want to say that
I just love the strategy. But this game at all in any gate
never at a loss! I read the novel "The Chronicles of Amber" 
from beginning to end, and I consider him the best in the genre 
of "fantasy". Reading this novel, you just get into a different 
reality. A game? Bullshit! People write it, just spit in the 
face of the most RODZHRU Zelazny! You the guys that invented 
it? The entire novel stuffed into one game! This anyway, that 
shove the whole novel, "The Three Musketeers, including 20 and 
30 years later, in a series of film! Your game just does not 
Law-called "war Ember." In short, you have turned full 
nonsense! I am interested in the "DEFENDER OF THE CROWN" play 
than in your game. 


   And the latest toy that I want to say - SOLDIER OF
THE FUTURE. Ivan Gudkov! What have you done? Such an idea! All 
would be good, but why did you tell me, so namudril programming

robot? Justified if there is all so complicated? As a result, 
the game can not play normal users. Ruined the same idea! 


   Well that's all. The conclusion from all this one: before 
you write game, it should consider: whether it would be 
interesting if it can be pass, etc. And after writing the play 
it should be tested and put away any bugs that come out during 
the game. So there. Okay, BYE! 


                                      Sincerely, Valery (MMM)
