 REVIEW (c) Alexander Nikiforov MDM 271-1583 2002



   Hello to all readers of the new MG weekly (!) Modem
Newspaper LPRINT. I very much hope that this newspaper will 
actually go out every week and WEREWOLVES able to find for her 
ample information. But there would be less work for him, I 
reshel little to help him and write something for the 
newspaper. This week in Minsk came a few new toys, and two of 
them I am very strongly liked and then I decided to advertise 
them a bit. So the idea to write something like the review for 
some newspapers. Since for LPRINT'a needed materials, I decided 
write to her. Well, the entry is complete and proceed directly 
to review games that have appeared in Minsk this week. 

Game: NIGEL MANSELL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
Company: GREMLIN GRAPHICS 1992
Min. Memory: 128K
Disk version: FLP / ZERO
Volume in the sectors: 890


   GREMLIN GRAPHICS firm known for its excellent programs,
always worthy of their time. AND NIGEL MANSELL was no 
exception, it's really a game of the nineties. The story itself 
is simple - you are playing the role of Nigel Mensela must win

Grand Prix Formula 1. The game has excellent graphics, great 
music and a great imitation of the first formula racing. Before 
you start racing you can equip your car to suit your tastes and 
the weather at the track (type of gearbox, tires, engine and 
angle rear wing). Before you start racing you can go skills and 
then start the race in accordance with the testimony of your 
time. But you can not pass kvalifikazhiyu and start from last 
place. Race itself is done simply superb. On the trail there 
are no lishnie machine (unfortunately, in many other races on 
the track is always a lot of "left" machines) Route and the 
current position of all vehicles are shown at the top screen. 
If the track is rain, and you are passing under the bridge, 
then there he was, as expected, no (and in some races it is 
what it is). After the next race you are given the code, which 
contains your results, and download the game the next time you 
will be able to continue it with prervanyh place. The only 
drawback to the game - is it easy to pass even the most 
sophisticated level. But for some it's probably her advantage. 
In short, if you do not have this game, be sure to get it.

Game: MORTAL KOMBAT
Manufacturer: AWS / MAFIA 1997
Min. Memory: 128K
Disk version: CODE BUSTERS (???)
Volume in the sectors: The entire disc


   Well, we waited for the full version of MORTAL KOMBAT. Many 
probably remember the demo version of this game where you 
mercilessly beat a certain bag. So, the game itself is 100 
times cooler (as it should be) a demo version. In it there is a 
great color graphics and good music. The game has three levels 
of speed and three levels of slozhmosti. On the easiest level, 
there are no moves and you're pretty easily defeat all enemies 
until the matter has not become GORO. Here is a problem ... But 
on Hard difficulty really starts MORTAL KOMBAT, where I had a 
hard time, but there are also present superudary. Before the 
game starts you can choose the type of sound effects in the 
game: AY-music AY-effects, DIGITAL-effects on AY, 
DIGITAL-effects on COVOX, AYmuzyka and DIGITAL-effects, or 
complete silence. Also, you can specify the control buttons of 
your choice. All this is automatic stored on disk and the next 
time you play you do not need would be to reinstall everything. 
If after loading the game you will not reap the keys, then 
after a while you'll see the authors of this great game and the 
characteristics of men. I strongly recommend you buy this game 
and do not be afraid, that in the game sprites are small, trust 
me more and is not necessary.

Game: MORTAL KOMBAT DEMO VERSION
Company: ANCCAH 'VIRTGROUP 1997
Min. Memory: 128K
Volume in the sectors: 475


   Simultaneously with the Ukrainian MORTAL KOMBAT, arrived in 
Minsk demo Petrograd MORTAL KOMBAT. Well what can I say about 
her. You've seen the demo version of MORTAL KOMBAT in 
ZX-FORMAT'e? So here is almost the same. The truth in this 
version poyailos menu, but confusing from him almost nothing. 
So there were the portraits of men, but they look much worse 
than in the Ukrainian version. Well still can note that now you 
can choose whom you will fight - Sub-Zero, or Raiden (the other 
fighters are not yet available). That's all you can say about 
this demo. True it is only a demo version and I hope that the 
game will be much better.


 EVALUATION demo version:

Game: SILENT SHADOW
Company: TOPO SOFT 1988
Min. Memory: 48K
Volume in the sectors: 535


   This game is for fans FLYING SHARK. She is very like her, 
only the technique here is more modern. Your main task fly 
forward and shoot everyone. The game can be played alone, that 
makes it doubly attractive. But unfortunately it does not CHEAT 
MODE and go through all five levels will be difficult. The game 
has great graphics, but the music and all effects only on the 
beeper.

Game: SIDERAL WAR
Manufacturer: DELTA SOFT 1990
Min. Memory: 48K
Volume in the sectors: 116

   This boevichok style EXOLON, with good color graphics. She
slightly more active than EXOLON, so as you are constantly 
attacked by hordes of enemies. But unfortunately it does not 
CHEAT MODE and therefore pass it to the end I could not. But 
slightly "off" in This game can be.

Game: INTERNATIONAL KICKBOXING
Company: YOUR SINCLAIR
Min. Memory: 128K
Disk version: FLASH
Volume in the sectors: 137


   Our network is a rumor that this is a very cool game, saying 
one of the best in its genre. I'm usually in such games do not 
play, but then decided to see what kind of miracle. Looked. 
Decided: the most common nonsense. No music, sound effects are 
bad, although on AY output. And waving their fists in the best 
MORTAL KOMBAT.

   Although I wrote above that the games I usually do not play, 
but I played this. And did not regret. Good graphics, good music

during the game (at 128K) that still needs to be fully happy? So
I advise to get this good (CODE MASTERS after all) geymku. For 
types like me, not so loving this genre, there is CHEAT MODE.

   So I wrote my first review of toys and hopefully the last
(I hear your sigh of relief). Still - it's not my specific,
and that's all that I wrote here, this is my personal opinion 
about these toys. So I think our CAPITAL trebuetsya leading 
Uncategorized REVIEW OF NEW TOYS. That's all.

WW: I thank Alex'a for his review and I hope that the leading 
column I do not have to look for. Alex, you're a born observer.
