2). ZX-REVIEW # 3, # 4 (1)
3). ENERGY # 2 - # 8 (1)

Ars> What is it in parenthesis? The number of sales per week? :)

            GAMES:

3). UFO-2
4). STALKER

6). LAST BATTLE
7). DEMO'S FROM ENLIGHT 1997
8). SYSTEM DISK # 6
9). Field of Miracles
10). MORTAL KOMBAT

 And now, at the request of SIG'a I, GIVer, write a few words 
about the above information. 

 So. Although the magazines according to SIG'a demand not
used, but last week found at least three
man (possibly more) who bought the Belarusian journal
ZX-ELEMENT. From myself I will say that the magazine turned out 
good, but not super. I would like to hope that in the next room 
(if they will), registration of the text (graphics and 
attributes) will be paid more attention. So much more has not 
previously used music.


 Energy 2-8 Third place got as far as I know, thanks to a 
certain nonresident buyer, who personally made the order on the 
collection of these newspapers. 

 In the first place in the hit parade game software was 
assembled, key position in the car simulator which takes Nigel

Mancel (full title is much longer:)). In this game you
have the opportunity to pouchavstvovat world-championship 
Formula 1. The game is made for a very good graphics and music 
level, with the ability to record the game situation. 

 In second place we have Feodal Wars, that is, feudal wars.
This game is made Stas Vikhrov, which, as far as I know
lives in a suburb of St. Petersburg. It seems that this game is 
the first "Major" (and maybe even the first) the work of this 
author Spectrum.

 That's my opinion: worst-first, and the program does not
refutes this saying. Graphic design baldly,
Sound there is little, but it seems the author had to do 
everything himself. The game author, as I understand it, tried 
to cross games such as Defender of the Crown and King's Bounty, 
the result not impressive, but the play is still possible. 
Let's hope that for the creation of his other works the author 
will find a good artist and musician, as well as focus on the 
plot of the game. 

 There are still people who buy UFO II. I think it's mostly 
people who recently bought a Speccy (which pleases), as well as 
those who at one time was "happy" owner nonworking versions ...


 Ars> Well Duc, freeware already Ufoshka. Vaughn, litseneziya 
top was. So who should be, so write it down. (Only beer with him

capture:))

 I would like to mention the game STALKER, created the 
Ukrainian coder Eugene Nesterenko.Dannaya game is better 
decorated than Feodal Wars, but it has also many disadvantages. 
Implementation of the game itself could be much better, given 
the perfect plot games. I recall that she done on a novel by 
Strugatsky brothers: "Picnic at Curb. "The game can and should 
play, but it very much prevents a stupid system to save and 
load game postponed situation, which, in my opinion, there is 
the biggest drawback this game.


 On this for now. We will meet next week.
