 HIT PARADE



                              (C) Welcome


      Hit Parade and gaming system

      programs over the past week.


  Much water has flowed since the release of the latest hit 
paradika, but new games priteklo much less. But following the 
immutable traditions, the firm continued to produce

one new game collection a week,
so our hit parade has undergone major
changes.

  2. CHIP'S CHALLRNGE 48/128 + AY

  3. GOLD RUSH 128/256 + AY

  4. STUNT MAN SEYMOUR 48/128 + AY

  5. KOMMANDO-2 48/128

  6. UFO-2 'THE DEVIL OF THE ABYSS "128/256 + AY

  7. PINK FLOYD V2.NN 128/256

  8. SPACE GUN 128/256 + AY

  9. DOUBLE XINOX 128/256 + AY
 10. SHADOW DANCER 128/256 + AY


  So, on the basis of sales programs can be
arrange as follows:


  First place all February is colorful fighter-brodilka NIGHT 
BREED (OCEAN'91). A complete description of the game you can 
"extract" from the intro. 


  The second line keeps the arcade-puzzle toy CHIP'S CHALLENGE 
(EPYX'90). The meaning of the game is correct selection of 
colored keys to the door and strictly a certain sequence of 
actions For example, moving blocks and fragments of walls

at every level. A total of 148 game levels.


  Third place was taken by the author's program
with digitized graphics - "Gold Rush" (By MOS'96), on the whole 
disk. 


  On the fourth position came just
released a compilation with STUNT MAN SEYMOUR
(Code Masters '92). This is a continuation of adventures of 
Seymour. The game is a bit like Game ELEPHANT ANTICS 'CJ'S IN 
USA. 


  The next line of KOMMANDO-2 (by MICROTECH SYSTEMS '94). 
Amateurs shoot This toy is clearly pleased.



  Potesnenny new games, UFO-2 was only in sixth place.


  Operating System PINK FLOYD, version
do not remember which, resting on the seventh
line. On the long-right?


  Still can not calm down the fans 'meat'
Shooter - SPACE GUN in eighth place
confirmation of this.


  DOUBLE XINOX markedly over the winter has passed its
position - he was in ninth place.


  SHADOW DANCER does not want to perish in
shadow and clinging to the very last position in the hit parade 
is not the first month. 


  And finally a little epilogue. Judging by
all, some users to use awkward directories recorded on each
floppy disk, and they decided that with a paper they
will be more convenient! So, last night about 19
hours, when it was already dark, two young
men sneaked into a bookstore on Foundry Avenue and fled from 
there with a catalog of our programs. And this is the fourth 
case this year. Gentlemen! Why to create excitement around the 
store directory? All the same, they have a lot and that's 
enough at all. But the shop from this nothing but trouble, and 
patience sellers already burst - the next catalog will be 
welded to the wall on a steel cable, and the hall will be

installed security cameras and a bunch of mikrofonchikov, so do 
not forget to wear masks and take nozhevku Metal! :)
