 Title: LOS INHUMANOS
 Produced by: DELTA Software
 Disk version: CODE BUSTERS
 Memory: 48k
 Size: 133 Sector



   With the valiant cry "YEAHH!" veterans of the hacking front 
"CODE BUSTERS "again, once again has returned to the Speccy. 
This time with a new toy in the style of "brodilka-mochilka. 
Language does not turn to call it a fight. Your task, driving 
very tall savage, dressed in skins, walk in the park 
"recreation" and destroy all who fall under the hand, 
simultaneously collecting the necessary subjects. The park also 
planted beautiful flowers, which are not off to refresh you. 
Toy is made very high quality. The graphics quality and 
performance is very reminiscent of the classic "ASTRO MARINE 
CORPS". The game sounds nice music and effects by AY. I was 
particularly pleased with the ending the game (in any case, it 
is original). 



 Title: MERCS
 Produced by: (C) 1991 CAPCOM 'US GOLD
 Disk version: SEAMANS BUHG
 Memory: 48/128k
 Size: 329 sectors



   Coolest shooter in the style of "COMMANDO". You need not 
just need, shooting along the way all sorts of enemies, 
military equipment, zhilposchad, as well as neighbors with wild 
palm trees, wade from one level to another. But them in the 
game, there are whole 7 (seven!) pieces. Apparently, two These 
well-known firms have decided to temporarily be united in order 
to, skinuvshis Napara, buy a scanner and graphic naskanirovat 
bunch of graphics. And the graphics in the game really is 
completely scanned: from enemies (I for some reason they 
reminded soldiers OMNI CORP. From LASER SQUAD'a), ending with 
palm trees, which natsepleny plates with a short but very clear 
to everyone phrase: "SHOOT". In addition to the coolest and, as 
I said, scanned graphics, the game contains music from the 
menu, as well as FX. 



 Title: DOWNTOWN
 Produced by: ATLANTIS SOFTWARE LTD
 Disk version: CODE BUSTERS
 Memory: 128k
 $ 123 sector



   Toys for children 3 to 7 years. Older age is 
contraindicated. Classical styled shooter I bought yesterday 
DENDY! ". Your job: managing a small and very fat policeman, 
running through the streets and shoot everyone. Primitive 
graphics, music and effects made for BEEPER'a, a then 
transferred under the music processor just poor. My Advice to 
you, never download this toy. Just send a large and ardent 
greetings to Kharkov, with a request to send to us Moscow more 
like these here toys. 


   If you are still, set the goal will certainly pass
this "masterpiece", remember this: the game is over when you 
kill Boss, pre-assemble the pieces of his photographs, the 
direction in which you indicate the hostages, freed by you Look 
out for the hostages in the dungeons of the city. 



 Title: THE WACKY DARTS CHAMPIONSHIP
 Produced by: CODE MASTERS
 Disk version: MAC BUSTER
 Memory: 48/128k
 Size: 164 Sector



   Sports simulator that allows you to try yourself as
darter. You do not have quite the usual opponents - from an 
alien or a magician to an alcoholic ... Respectively, and 
instead of darts they use a variety of subjects - one came up 
with a laser, the other with a bazooka ... At the beginning of 
the game you will be offered to choose their opponent. Please 
note - each of them has a different accuracy. Then a circular 
target, where shaking, probably from the booze, a hand to get 
desirable the right sector of the target. It is in the right, 
as the game 5-0-1 means that the winner is the one who first 
"beat out" exactly 501 point and the game ROUND THE CLOCK 
should fall consistently in the sector with the numbers from 20 
to 1. If you want to win in this game against the computer, 
then you need to learn to fall precisely at the pixel of the 
screen to what you and labeled ... 


   As in most igushek firm "CODE MASTERS", here too
there is kick-ass graphics. But, with the sound is not so cool. 
If the music menu, written under the AY, the effect of the game 
is clearly BEEPER'nogo origin, which, however, is traditional 
for this firm.




 Title: FINAL FIGHT
 Produced by: U.S. GOLD 1991
 Disk version: SEAMANS BUHG
 Memory: 128k
 Size: 790 sectors



   Fairly successful attempt to put into SPECCY fighter. 
Scanned graphics, moving background. The plot is traditional - 
go to north, waving fists, feet and mathematics subjects. In

end of each level you expect a meeting with the boss ... You 
have opportunity to choose one of three fighters, each of them 
has some effective tricks. Graphics quite good,

music and special effects are terrible, traffic braking or 
about what realism is not the question. In general, the game is 
worthy to pass muster a couple of times (in the CHEAT MODE, of 
course) ... 



 Title: LODE RUNER 3
 Produced by: BRODERBUND SOFTWARE 1984
              BIOTECH INC. 1995
 Disk version: BIOTECH SOFTWARE INC.
 Memory: 48/128k
 Size: 376 sectors



   Alteration of original games. This time the guys took a 
well-known remix "LODE RUNER". Redrawn graphics, made new mazes 
(even very good, incidentally), russifitsirovat, prisobachili 
much as two whole intro. In general, tried to ... But in the 
heat of the work somehow forgot to make the LOAD / SAVE mazes 
for the drive, so if you suddenly come to mind to upload your 
maze, do not forget to connect a tape recorder. With the sounds 
as always napryazhenka: music is only present in one of the 
intro, the second is her at all. But the effects were home - 
under BEEPER. In general, despite the fact that the guys from 
BIOTECH, apparently good artists (although, my own schedule has 
been more interesting), LODE RUNNER 3 - An example of how not 
to remake the game. 



 Title: FORMULA ONE
 Produced by: CRL
 Disk version: (C) 1996 NIKOSOFT
 Memory: 48k
 Size: 112 sectors



   Pretty old but little known in Russia simulator races
class "Formula 1". You are invited to take uchstie in these very
competitions. In the beginning select the number of players, 
difficulty, sponsors a car. Then there are the actual race 
itself, where You'll only be a passive observer. Past you on 
the monitor screen with a terrible roar in the dynamics 
(BEEPER) will be carried by the machine. Then fit a man with a 
flag of wag, and the race is over. After which will name the 
winner. 



 Title: THE MYSTERY OF THE NILE
 Produced by: FIREBIRD
 Disk version: FFC COMPUTERS
 Memory: 48k
 Size: 180 sectors



   Very good, in my opinion, brodilka, despite the fact that
designed explicitly for children of primary school age. You (and
just you, ie heroes, three - a girl with bombs, a boy with
pistol and uncle with an umbrella (Pierre Richard, perhaps)) 
will be a battle to leave the occupied territory by Arab 
terrorists. Shoot (throw bombs, stabbing the umbrella) you have 
in the city in the desert, in a moving train and at the 
headquarters ... You can choose heroes keys 1, 2 and 3. 
Particular difficulties arise in the game should not, 
especially if you know what bombs can throw at different 
distances, and shoot a gun up can be pre-squatting. Large color 
graphics leaves a pleasant impression.
