Mosaic - Letter from Latvia on Raver'a. Cheat'y to games: Tarzan goes ape!, Quick draw wc graw.

                 MOSAIC


(C) RAVER / PHANTASY, LATVIA


   Hullo, all online readers!!!


   I have some things to say about variuos things ...


   So, let's start!


   First thing is for Joker / AWS / MFA: Busy and Noro never 
planned and will not be at Enlight '96. They will be at DemoBit 
'96. Zoolook / PHT will not be at Enlight too (he wanted to go, 
but unfortunately some problems and he'll not be at this party).



   One crap thing about STEP group (yes, they who make
SPECTROFON). They are spread lies!!! Oh fibbing STEP ... They
said in issue # 19, that Barry Plewa, EMULATE editor wrote 
letter to SPECTROFON. Huh, i asked him, he never wrote letter 
to this disk-mag, he don't know what SPECTROFON is!



   Now about ECSTASY MD and RINDEX article in ON-LINE issue # 
33. I don't agree with you ... ECSTASY have very cool music 
(except two) and i don't like only last, DOOM part. Graphics is 
quite good too and effects is superb!!! Yes, i think, INSULT is 
better in FX, but if we compare all: music, gfx, fx then 
ECSTASY and INSULT is equal (at least in my opinion ...)



   There are some other bad thing about ECSTASY - they use OUT
(# FD), A without seted 6th bit in accumulator ... That's why it
don't work on many speccies - Scorpions ZS 256, various 128K
machines etc. So, we fixed this bug in all parts except hidden
(Cuz we don't know how to find'em). And if you want this version
- Let me know, i'll send it ...


   Disk version of Sample Tracker, which made Oldman, don't
works on Scorpion ZS 256, cuz he make OR # 80 not OR # A0 for
sampled data!!! That's sux. OR # A0 works on all comps!

                            Well, cya!!!

   First, the translation of the above letter (forgive me if
notice any errors ...).

   Hello to all readers ON-LINE!!!


   I would like to share some thoughts on different topics ...


   Let's begin!


   Firstly, regarding the information from the JOKER / AWS / 
MAFIA: BUSY and NORO once were not going by not going to 
ENLIGHT'96 - they collected at DEMOBIT'96. ZOOLOOK / PHT will 
not be on ENLIGHT'96 too (he wanted to go, but unfortunately, 
some problems do not allow him to be there). 


   A few more words about the group STEP (yes, it is those who 
do SPECTROFON). They publish a lie! About deceitful STEP ... 
They wrote in room 19, which BARRY PLEWA, editor EMULATE, wrote 
letter to SPECTROFON. Oh, I asked him, he never wrote Letters 
to this e-zine, he did not know about the existence 
SPECTROFON'a! 


   Now about ECSTASY MEGADEMO and articles RINDEX'a in ON-LINE 
# 33. I do not agree with him ... IN ECSTASY very cool music 
(except the that the second part), I did not like only the last 
part DOOM. The graphics are also very good, but effects are 
simply superb! Yes, I think, INSULT better part of special 
effects, but if you compare it all: music, graphics and 
effects, and then ECSTASY INSULT equivalent (at least in my 
opinion ...) 


   The only thing we can say bad about ECSTASY - they use the 
command OUT (# FD), A without having to install a 6-th bit in 
the battery ... That is why it does not work on many of 
Spectrum-compatible - SCORPION ZS 256, some 128k machines, etc. 
Although we corrected this error in all parts except the shadow 
(since we do not know how to find it). And if you want this 
version, let me know, I'll send it to you ...



   Disk version SAMPLE TRACKER'a that did OLDMAN, not
works on SCORPION ZS 256, because it makes OR # 80 instead of 
OR # A0, output data digitized instruments! This is bad (To put 
it mildly ...). OR # A0 works on all computers! 

                             See ya!

   Now, immediately give the answer guys from Latvia:


   Firstly, many thanks for writing! And then you write here -
crucified, criticize here - razgromlyaesh ... and no one will 
answer ... You feel crazy, talking to myself ... 


   Secondly, with regard SAMPLE TRACKER'a. Your comment relates 
to, apparently, player for AY CHIP ... In my version there are 
no command OR, data port # FD rush from the table, where 
recorded only the values ​​of # A0 to # AF, neither more nor 
less. In my opinion, sixth bit is included here ... I do not 
know why your Scorpion is not goes my ST, Scorpio - in general 
an interesting car ... But in Moscow I checked the program on 
several similar machines and everything was OK ... Only now I 
remember: what you describe (and the OR and # 80) was in the 
original version of the SAMPLE TRACKER'a ... Maybe you do not 
see my version of ST (she, in particular, included in Annex 
SPECTROFON # 19)? So, take your "sux" back;) 


   About 19 rooms SPECTROFON'a. Much is written there, was of 
the nature of parody ... Room-it was the "April Fools" (despite 
the fact that he went out in May). For some reason you are not 
surprised by the description of nonexistent toys! I will not 
chew the humor of "letters from EMULATE ", read it carefully, 
You will understand ... 


   As for ECSTASY, or rather the shadow of its parts ... I hope 
I understand you right - you really could not find it?? In 
fact, I already wrote in detail about the secrets of ECSTASY 
ON-LINE # 37, but let me remind: Part MASK must enter SURPRISE. 
If you need to know specifically what page, on what address and 
in what form it (shadow part) sitting there, but now I and I do 
not remember, but the demonstration itself, I have no ... But 
if need to let me know, help ...


                   Sincerely, Dmitri (OLDMAN)
