 First and foremost, not about a big surprise. Recently visited 
Minsk guest from Vitebsk. It was learned that the 
super-strategy "Civilization" (Conversion from the IBM version 
of the Microprose) is nearing completion. In creating this game 
apart from Vitali Kubekina actively involved Shmatov Ivan and 
work is underway. Was taken into account all the criticism, 
followed after the release of the demo version. First of all, 
redrawn sprites playing field, completely redesigned output 
card, that unlike the demo version of the principle. Completes 
the conversion graphics and is assembling / linking. All items 
are "vast" menu will be filled and have a graphic insert. 
"Civilization" will, apparently, the first game at the 
Spectrum, which occupies 4 (!) Drive. By popular demand is 
expected to support 128K, although you never know ... (Vitebsk 
is now 256Kb standard, as well as 3.5-inch floppy drive, mouse, 
and General Sound; in the nearest future: connecting hard 
drives and massive modems). But the game itself, obviously, 
will be presented in St. Petersburg, where it can become a 
serious competitor, "Black Crow" 

 Meanwhile, Vyacheslav Mednonogov reported that out of the Black
Crow "in St. Petersburg has already been appointed on December 
6. Now there is a copyright of beta testing, eliminated the 
last bugs. However, in case of unforeseen circumstances, the 
output can be delayed for week ... About the UFO-3 until there 
is no talk is not obviously everything will depend on the 
success of "FT" and primarily on the successful spread the game 
in St. Petersburg. 

 It is possible that the problem of piracy and distribution of 
the programs took Arty / dR, visited Peter on November 23. Arty 
told me about the upcoming journal Scenergy, on the whole 
Spectrum scene. In its creation involved: Digital Reality, 
Progress and Phantasy, and also joined them, Step, Concern 
Chaos. The release of this is undoubtedly a very steep (as in 
content and in design) magazine, will be in Russian and English 
languages. 

 A day earlier, on November 22, Sergei Zonov, the progenitor of 
Scorpio celebrated his birthday with what we do and 
congratulations! 

 Sad news about Nicodemus, he temporarily left the stage and 
even sold his A600. The reason is simple - the thirteenth in 
November he was taken into the army ... 

 Grodno E-Mage, finished his DeMouy Condommed. According to 
estimates of those who saw her, she still quite steep, there 
are settings for different types of computers that normally 
works to a byte (although multicolor still failed to adjust).


 In Brest, Power group, quietly writing a new CDOS. Real 
Software zaintrovali couple of games and decided to engage in 
more serious affairs. Probably will publish a newspaper (as in 
Brest today not nablyudartsya none). Just drafted TECHNODROM II.

Consideration is a new script. As innovations in the game
will support a mouse. A week ago, Pawel / RS, has launched a new
version of the Real Commander'a 4.1. The program is already in 
Minsk. 

 Alex Legotin finished his arcade adventyuru "The Wizard
Oz, "and is looking for distributors.

 Scorpion firm announced a new network program: BBS
v4.01, for the XTR-modem. It was designed to work on computers
memory at least 256K. Among the rich features worth
Note: The use of passwords and levels of differentiation
user access to the station, capturing all the machine
User Action BBS'ke, the ability to display messages
system operator station user support daily
Network ehokonferentsy. Also is distributed version of the 
network programs for the station with the driver Vicomm-modem 
BBS 3.08 and a custom version of the MMD 2.20. 

Welcome firm seriously intends to release a CD-ROM collection
programs for Zx-Spectrum and compatibles. In my opinion, if the 
disk get mass distribution, then one will suffer

a heavy blow to traders, since the disk is clearly
All software is absolutely fit for Spectrum, and therefore, what
Whatever was his selling price, all programs are simply
worthless ...

 Revival4, part 1 finally found a habitual viewer. It's amazing 
how Sergei Novikov was a few days to paint 210 kilobytes of 
text. As for the second part, the Spirit is threatening to 
release it to the New Year. Despite the fact that Part 2 was 
originally conceived as a supplement to the first (0.5 Mb 
pokes, and cheats:), obviously it did not stop. Expected a lot 
of new information, in particular, I quote, _SENSATSIONNOE_ 
interviews, and also a demo version of a brand new, stunning in 
its capabilities and interface graphics editor Art Works. 

November 30 finishes collecting votes for a ehokonferentsii
relcom.comp.speccy. By Friday, 29 November 1957 were collected 
letters so it's possible, since December, one month Spectrum

Conference will be more!
