Journal - Platformobesie - cross-platform wrapper for the magazine.

    Deciding to do multi-platform magazine
and performance envelope and
information contained in it, we went to
some risk. But, all the same, I schiatyu this
step is justified. Computers, regardless of
Spectrum of it, Amiga or PC, remain
essentially similar. Users
creators of the programs, sceners - everything is decided
the same tasks and face
similar issues. Many are now working
simultaneously with different computers and
platforms, the same situation and we have -
we write the program and the Amiga, and ZX, and
on the PC. In fact, it should be - is
healthy approach to this situation -
engage in more than one platform.
First - it allows you to effectively
advantage of one platform
work on some issues related
on the other, and secondly - much more logical
write programs directly under several types
machines - the modern PC, Amiga, on Macs
essentially very similar. Very many things -
especially the graphics, music, data can be
used immediately in all these
platforms. If, say, you're going
engage in writing games - like
approach is most effective. So come
most major companies creating games
however, the list of platforms, they can
differ, they often produce versions
its programs and a gaming console

    We're certainly well-aware that many
of you, dear readers, just not in the

where you can poke a button with his foot,
yes look at the little people running around on the
screen. I hope you are doing them
to create something of their own and plan to
the future to do this more seriously
and professionally. It is for these people
we create a journal and that is why he

    Of course, we ourselves are not quite
really omnivores, perhaps, our attitude towards
Some platforms will be somewhat
biased. Immediately we can say that
main focus will be on the Spectrum (as
on the most simple, affordable and "home" for
many platforms) and the Amiga (as in
progressive, beautiful and a resurgent

firmly entrenched in our lives. We do not
going to close our eyes to this, we
doing and to them, but information on it and
so more than enough, but the same
Amiga is now in the not so successful position
so we allow ourselves to give it more
attention, because the machine is really
remarkable and very promising ...

    So, let's get together with us
perceive the scene as a computer
single, discuss, compare, and even
to criticize, but do not limit yourself and do not
close to one thing. We will try to
to be more professional and will go
up to date with our PC,
