(C) Anton Markin


   For ten weeks, as MAGIC SOFT present to you my
TOP 10. And we decided to go back and review all the best 
scores to identify the most promising game projects, as well as 
look at their development during the ten weeks. In the 
following chart you can see how the customer belonged to a 
particular game, but I will try to analyze the situation. 


   And again: from left to right - a week, from top to bottom - 
the place occupied at the time of the game.

   As you noticed, there are eight games, is now about each of 
them in order, ie left to right and top to bottom. 


   Let's go ...


   Getting Started with PRINCE OF PERSIA, which, incidentally, 
has opened this year's flurry of revenue for the megahit 
SPECCY. PRINCE started from the first position, but then 
conceded a young, more new programs. That SOLDIER OF THE 
FUTURE, then FIFTEEN'S tried to banish it from their homes, but 
PRINCE risen from the ashes and once again was first. I'm sure 
this game will long be at the top of Olympus game. 


   Next - KING'S BOUNTY 2. This game made popular in our
the strategy genre, and frankly, I do not understand relating to
his buyers are not found anywhere else such shifts.
Although popular wisdom says: how much the buyer is not 
persuaded buy strategy - he still FIFTEEN'S buy.



   "There is a letter !!!..." - Cries Yakubovich. Charming 
girls, with a minimal amount of clothing, from time to time go 
the studio and open guessed letters. What else should a person 
to rest? Oh, nothing, and just go and buy the Field of Miracles 
and play your heart's content. And in fact buy packs take! AND

although the finest hour of the game has passed, she stubbornly 
holds average positions and give them not going to.



   LAST BATTLE - a complete confirmation of the words spoken to 
the KING'S BOUNTY 2. Over and say there is nothing. 


   SOLDIER OF THE FUTURE. But was the first place ... But 
started to give one position after another and then all has 
disappeared from view. Come back! We're all just.



   Everything from his childhood love to play tag, and if 
you're still not move soulless boxes, and broken into pieces a 
beautiful picture, and even if this picture and then starts to 
move and Mouzon cool game - it's all slaughtered! This explains 
the popularity of FIFTEEN'S, but appeared UFO 2 and tag, 
offended, and went the middle class.



   We still remember the excitement associated with such games 
as Star Heritage, which, incidentally, still pops up in the top 
ten on the basis of sales, and here was born TIME COP, is also 
graphically-text Adventura, but the game is based on the movie 
PATROL time and even strange, but this game kicked off with 
second place. At this strangeness did not end there, you've 
already seen the yawning gap in the chart - it's just the 
people there was nostalgia at the sight TIME COP'a and he 
decided once more to pass Star Heritage and UFO 1, which 
occupied the top ten then ten and six places respectively. And 
another thing: even though this game and a demo version, it 
takes poldiska and fully functional, so you can safely play. 


   U F O 2: T E R R O R I N T H E D E E P! ! ! ! ! ! !


   As it turns out, is not only a "terror in the depths, but 
the terror Mitino - no one remembers this game to held monthly 
at the first place! So, STEP'u must hurry with the release of

continuation Star Heritage to beat this record.


   Well, what do you like this TOP'a? If so, read the TOP 10 for
the latter, eleven weeks.

    10.TIME COP (DEMO) (MOONSOFT '96)


   Left DARKMAN of fog, took out a knife from his pocket ... 
And took the first place! Apparently, this came to taste our 
bandaged friend to the buyer. This game is made just fine and 
that it should be in first place, there was no doubt. So that 
being said: the flag in her hands. 


   But the UFO 2 broken off. Do not be this game on the fifth 
week first place.



   STREET FIGHTER maintain its position and below the fourth 
place until sinking. 


   FIFTEEN'S - resist not possible.


   SOLDIER OF THE FUTURE. But swam! Right on to fifth place!


   Behold all for today (07/01/1996). Weather now is disgusting 
and so writing more does not want to. Analyzed for you Anton
