             GENERAL SOUND



                           (C), Michael Blum


  Finally happened! Another Toy
has degenerated into a week of poorly articulated for the 
beeper into the game with elegant musical accompaniment under 
GENERAL SOUND. Name reborn - FROST BYTE. Like all

previous games, voiced for GS, it is
is only on computers with memory
less than 128K and takes up almost one-third
disc.


  Toy itself is quite old - (c) by
MICROGEN 1987, but with the new sounds she
looks pretty good, especially because
they are all carefully chosen within
three months and play it became even more interesting. Your 
goal - to save the five comrades and to get the most out of the 
terrible dungeon on the ground. In game five separate 
sub-levels, mazes. 


  And now in more detail about the innovations themselves.


  Before the game the following menu:


    1. ETERNAL LIFE ON / OFF

    2. ETERNAL TIME ON / OFF

    3. EVERLASTING ARMS ON / OFF


    4. Start with Regular dialing

       EFFECTS


    5. Start the game with an expanded set

       EFFECTS


    Q, W - control volume

       MUSIC


    O, P - control volume

       EFFECTS


  Using traditional set of effects - it
there is a mysterious three-channel
Melody and 11 effects that music played in the idle channel.


  Extended set of effects - in
It has no background tunes, as all
memory occupied by the previous 11 effects and 6
new. For simultaneous playback
using all channels.


  Regardless of the regime in
game menu always has a cheerful four-channel Muzychka, which is 
loaded with 64K RAM drive. Everything else is loaded with

disc.


  You can now go to effects.


  The main set:

 1. Jump hero (1)
 2. Loaded weapon (1)
 3. Shooting (2 *)
 4. The enemy killed (1)
 5. Demonic laughter enemy when

    it fell, but not killed (16 *)
 6. Tweeting enemies (8 *)
 7. Spiteful snarl enemies (4 *)
 8. The hero dies with the emission of the latter
    his breath (4 *)
 9. Rescue a comrade (1)
10. Using the heart (1)
11. Using all the other the subject
    Comrade (3).


  Extended set:

12. Touchdown Hero after the jump (1)
13. Hero stamps (2)
14. Picking up items (1)
15. The creaking and slamming of doors in the transition
    During the next sublevel (1)
16. Drops dripping from a low altitude (4 *)
17. Drops falling from the echo from a great height

    from above (2 *)


  The number in parentheses indicates how many
notes played by this effect, and "*" indicates that the note is 
selected each time randomly. 


  No doubt many are interested in the fate of scoring ZYNAPS'A. 
I want to once again gener'alschikov happy - the game completely

compromised, there are effects and phrases, there are 7 of the 
13 tunes. Inserting an existing design will be done immediately 
after Enlight'a, and finished the game will be released as soon 
as they rack up all the remaining music. Perhaps the game will 
be delivered copy protection.
