(C) ANTONY


   Autumn came, faded cabbage ... What am I doing? Yes, that
that summer is over, the people once again reached out to 
computers, hackers harried writing demochek, dem and megadem 
for ENLIGHT'a, went back to their hacking programs, well, we 
are pleased to introduce you to their new masterpieces.

   On the history of the game went wide variety of rumors 
already about two years. Therefore, in order to put the record 
straight i, give word of the author the disk version - Max 
Iwamoto: 


   "The History of Shadow Dancer'a long and interesting. In 
1993, the game came to Eugene scrap, but because it did not 
work, some rounds, he did not produce it, and gave Dmitri 
Kulikov. D. Kulikov also broken off to recover it and gave it 
to me. In the first initially I had some successes, but to fix 
the end game failed. Although she was promised some coming 
soon'ah, but in the light did not come out. It took 2 years. My 
hands got Polish cassette Shadow Dancer'om. Imagine my surprise 
when I found a perfect match with the version 1993. That made 
me somewhat disappointed, but since technology has gone 
forward, I again decided to try their hand. Was written by the 
editor of levels, in which and place all the fixes. After a 
couple of days of torment has been fixed almost everything. 
There is only 14 rounds, because in it apart from maps and 
charts was marred by all the background information on the 
enemy. But by studying the regularities of Rounds and the 
problem disappeared. Everything Else - disk version packaging, 
etc. trayner was already a matter of technique. In conclusion, 
I want to note that this game is, like all the recent releases 
have packed the new Code Busters Cruncher'om. Version 3T (the 
latter on moment) is only implemented for Amig'i. "



   Well, like everything was clear. Now a few words about the
game. You control a ninja, which accompanies the huge size of 
the wolfhound. Your task is to pass the 15 levels of play, on 
which You will withstand 4 bosses and nemeryannom of their 
servants. At each level, you will collect the electronic capsule

spacecraft. If you manage to collect all 37 capsules and
destroy all the bosses at the end you'll be shown a small FINAL
CUT (although to call it so you can quite arbitrarily). As 
you've probably already realized early in the game you would 
expect CHEAT MENU, where you can choose all kinds of 
immortality, which, I must say, this game is not superfluous.

   Hardly had the echoes of the fall The "OPEN IT!" and "TURN", 
and we already have the opportunity to observe a new 
masterpiece, napichkany scanned monochrome graphics. It was 
stuffed, because takes it is a disk and contains 80 pictures. 
The purpose of the same game as you may have guessed from the 
name, has remained the same as in the good old "XONIX" e - cut 
sections from a given field, at which are worn balls 
norovyaschie you ditch. Their number increases with the level 
number from 2 to 14. Only in the game 8 levels, each of which 
contains 10 sub-levels. At passage level you get the password. 
Honestly, that should be full of fans to run this game without 
immortality. Therefore, strongly recommend to pay attention to 
the appropriate section last issue ON-LINE, where you will 
learn how to incorporate Corporate CHEAT MODE.



   In conclusion, the cry of the soul: "People! Coders! 
Graphics rock with IBM-AMIGA learned already, if not every 
second, it really one-third - just. Invent something new! "

   Apparently lack of new software makes our programmers
refer to the well-forgotten games. I think that this game knows
all, therefore only briefly recall the plot. You control the 
kind of creature stranded on an unfamiliar planet. Your task, 
as always trivial - to save the planet from exploding. Needless 
to say that most of the living space is filled with monsters, 
which you should soak in the course of the case. For inclusion 
CHEAT'a you need to press in the INTRO - "ADG". Speaking of 
INTRO - pay attention to it (fun to do!).

   In continuation of the theme - another remix of a

time. How do you you know, this game CHEAT been registered at 
birth. And that is why it is not clear why, releasing 128-th 
version of this Games, MAFIA did not bother to make it really 
passable. I would guess that for most of this game is and will 
remain unclimbed. A pity ...

   The impression that the world is full of enemies SPECCY CHEAT
MODE! Otherwise, how else to understand that new versions of 
old programs go without options immortality. Or is it all still 
in unprofessional hackers?



   So the game ... You control the kind of spider, which as 
usual, to save some space station, for which he is worn like a 
madman, at the risk of falling into open space. At its the way 
he picks up various useful things: a weapon, diskettes, etc. C 
using the floppy disk in the computer room, he may make 
different changes in the enemy's computer - and off energobarery

secret codes, to run the transport block and escalators.

  To complete the theme of saving the world, say a few words 
about this game. Graphics 3-D (as in games, written in the 
editor 3-D GAME). The plot - using the 5 battle droids, and 
find destroy the four nuclear cells. Because the cells are 
unstable, they easily destroyed when exposed to the droid, 
which is true in the immediate vicinity of the cells strongly 
loses energy. As in previous games CHEAT MODE is not here (yes 
that's this for outrageous ?!!), so good luck ...

  Well, as we say, "sweet to the third." I hope everything in 
its Time passed "Star Heritage", fighting with nasty artangami.

So you have a new opportunity to try their hand
in the coolest new text and graphics adventyure "APOLLO".


  Short history: "The U.S. government has resumed flights to
moon. In one of these expeditions, you and your team-mate Sam 
to survey the moon's surface in a jeep, had fallen into the 
abyss. ATV irretrievably broken, and Sam was seriously injured. 
Examining the bottom of the abyss you ran into the hill 
country. Examined him, You found the entrance to the cave. 
Going into it, you realize that you lucky, because "Cave" was 
entering an alien ship. You drag the Sam and decided to explore 
the ship ... Since then the game begins. Commands are entered 
directly from Keyboard (Russian encoding YAVERTY). Cardinal 
directions are given the first letters W, S, C, B or digits 
5,6,7,8, respectively. Teams work with the disk: load, save. 
Information on possible ways to travel - the team COMPASS. The 
game is sold at protected drive (by the way, because this game 
is often loaded with fifth or sixth attempt). Start a game is 
not easy, so I will give advice that will help you move 
forward: shoot cyborg is better lying down (unless you have 
extracted shell); green cyborg must shoot in the neck, and 
yellow in the arm (one shot they do not kills) to put on armor, 
it is necessary to remove germoshlem; hurry Sam cure (if he 
dies, the game is over) ...
