  Now and August, came - time to go
for mushrooms and berries, while hanging out at the

new collections:


  1. DOOM (pre-releaze) 128/256 + AY

  8. Raven Black (DEMO) 128/256

  9. SOCCER PINBALL 48/128 + AY
 10. UFO-2 128/256 + AY


  Despite the fact that the selection of DOOM'om
will be released only on Friday-Monday, we
decided that it would go like hot cakes, and there
because of what. First, despite the fact that
it is only a demo version of No2 (by Digital
Reality), it can already be considered a full-fledged
game. It has all kinds of weapons, two types of enemies, ready 
maze, music, multiple textures of the walls. Secondly - it is 
still only on the Speccy Color and full screen (two-thirds of 
the screen) DOOM, and vyrisovyvanie graphics are fast enough 
and the movement of objects is almost inhibited the average 
screen resolution. Well and the turbo-machines almost all 
movement as fast as in the original pisishnom DOOM'e. You can 
choose 3 types of screen: 


  Low resolution - usually small
black and white window;


  medium resolution - color image
2 / 3 of the screen with simplified textures;


  high resolution - color image
2 / 3 of the screen with rich textures.


  In short, the best DOOM'a for Spectrum does not
think of the guys from the DR tried to cool.


  In the meantime, it is best to buy a drive with
very cool race - NIGEL MANSEL'S GP
(By Gremlin Graphics '92). More details
of it was written in ZxNews No34.


  Another new game - MYSTERY OF ARKHAM
MANOR (by Mike Lewis'92) - won outright
fourth position. This is similar to adventyura
style to the Star Heritage, well graphically framed. Here, the 
detective must to solve a series of complicated cases.



  But the rest of the game, probably represent no sense.


  Now a little more detail about the new
collection of demos DOOM'a, where except for him
entered the game:


  TURBULENCE 128K + AY (by DR'96) - very
unusual play with a ball.


  MOTOR MASSACRE 128K + AY (by Gremlin
'88) - Race through the city, a top view, it is necessary
shot mutants. Very richly voiced by AY.


  NINJA HAMSTER 128K + a lot of levels -
Combat between the beasts. Schedule carefully painted.


  ROCK STAR ATE MY HAMSTER 128K + AY (by
Code Masters '90) - a full version of the popular show manager. 
Now there's all the music for AY, a full set of rock / pop / 
punk / country / rap / ... stars and a lot of money.

   SUPER TANK SIMULATOR 128K + AY ('89)
