             REVIEW novelties SOFTWARE



(C) KVAZAR



   Over the past since the release of the zero rates "Polesie"
period of time in Gomel appeared very large number of
programs, including: magazines "OBERON-5", "DEJA VU-6"
"VOYAGER-1, 2, and a number of newspapers, sistemok and several 
musical demonstrations. In addition, it was a few small games 
and two large-scale: "Mirror" and "Last Hero ...". On them will 
be discussed. 



                          "Mirror"

                      (C) Art Work 1998

                  ------------------------

   Fans of the game "Star Heritage", rejoice! Finally, although
someone, namely a group of Art Work, has managed to create a 
game, if not to copy the famous bestseller, it is very similar 
to the interface. And now stop! Because it's where the 
similarity ends there. If the "Legacy" was a sci-fi scenario 
based on the popular "Elite", this game belongs to the genre 
Phantasy and introduces the player to the mysterious world of 
magic, orcs, goblins and other evil spirits, which so adore 
domestic programmers.


   Game "Mirror" is a Russian adventyuroy combining
prominent features of genres, RPG and D'D. By controlling the 
main character and "nurturing" him in the course of the plot 
must ultimately come to finale. The graphics in this game is at 
a high level, although the game interface in my opinion not 
enough thought out that, in general, does not spoil the overall 
impression. The game takes up the entire disk that can store 
multiple shipments of independent states. In subsequent 
editions of our paper, we will publish the passage of this 
technology toys, and yet provide our readers to enjoy the solve 
all its mysteries and puzzles. 



                  LAST HERO OF LIGHT FORCE

                    (C) Excess Team 1998

               ------------------------------

    There is finally a long-awaited full version of this game,
a three-dimensional "DOOM-eminent" quest with arcade
elements of D'D, which occupies two whole disc. The game has a 
good -drawn graphics and excellent sound soprovozheniem as

otsifrovok quality of the human voice (in battles with
enemies, dealings, etc.). The number of weapons and various
devices is simply amazing: here you are, and swords of all 
kinds and species, battle-axes, axes, shields for every taste, 
leather and steel armor, magic and medicine.


   Before talking about the shortcomings of this game I must 
say - in I have a pirated version, hacked Hacker unknown. 
Therefore, I am aware that my claim may be

redirected to the inept burglars, especially because the 
authors of During the game are constantly warned about it 
unusable "Kraknutogo" option. However, in the game there are 
some things that I simply can not remain silent.


   The first thing that catches your eye - an abundance of 
typos and elementary grammatical errors in the texts. Although 
this not fatal, but spoils the impression of the authors.

Secondly, the sheer wretchedness of the game interface. Not 
only that most of the buttons (magical incantation) is simply 
not work, in addition, an arcade inset extremely brake and

not fully thought out. But the cool message I received
when he tried to speak with the merchant Dobermans. Authors
reported on the impossibility of normal work on computers
CPU Z80A, followed by a hovering effect. This is already
not to mention some of the absurdities in the use of weapons.

   After all I did not understand - my fault if my hacked 
version or even the author's copy contains all of these bugs. 
One thing I can say with certainty: should play, despite this 
glyuchnost program will give you many pleasant moments.



   Search Programs: The people! Who has the normal disc version
game "ATV", "DICTATOR" (preferably 128K), a huge request to 
call. Swap will be on that! 

   Wanted program "FRAMES-96", like "Windows", was released 
here in Gomel.
