Интервью

Interview - the famous musician and programmer IMP.

ZF> Tell us how you started
work on Spectrum'e?
 IMP> Well? I saw another,
villages, to play, then - bought.
Generally, I bought it for the sake of the game
Knight Lore. In her playing, the first
Two hours after connecting to a TV. Plug yourself too. Well
and then there is already beginning -
Loading BASIC, press space ... Well, that's all. Useful to look 
at. Wrote some tape feeders, it is not clear why. Somewhere

year plagued tape protection. Well
then - I saw one friend
drive. Well, again - For Sale
akkardeon, which played, I buy the drive. Then he saw OM, AY in 
the sense. A lyre saw - So all stunned. Thought

48 will not seem so
a grand thing. Well, well
was introduced to a normal car.
Later bought Pentagon, more precisely
changed the fee at a local firm.
Well then, need have made
music to write.

  ZF> How to understand - need made?
 IMP> Well, I was searching for a musician, and in
Gomel is useless, the more
at the time. A DeMouy wanted to write.

  ZF> Why DeMouy, not
game?
 IMP> From the games I generally fast
pulled. I only play into logical, very exciting game. Strategy 
I do not hate. 

  ZF> That is, simply, more fun
create, and do not look, play and
etc.
 IMP> Yes, especially the effects. Not
I know there is some sort of fanaticism to
this case.

  ZF> art for art's sake?
 IMP> Yes, something like that.

  ZF> what do you do now?
 IMP> Music. For ZF, in this
moment. But in general there are several different projects, toy
still the same. Action type StarDust. Its essence - simply 
break away, take heart. 

  ZF> Yes ... No Sinclair of toys ...
 IMP> No Sinclair, not on
ibm. Those that were on Sinclair -
SilkWorm, SWIV - rather weak. OK for those times, of course.
But on Amig'e - StarDust. On
pc, how many are not looking for - not. Generally on ibm is so 
cool game - heksagon.


  ZF> already have, and Spectrum
version.
 IMP> Yes, I know. Heksagon,
amytris - loved the game.

  ZF> What do you think about the organizational side ENLIGHT'a?
 IMP> How would that they should not
hurt ... Well, what can
held a party. All, of course, was terrible, in technical terms. 
Organizers stormozili. So I went, they said, that will 
gostinnica free. Nebylo, of course. No prizes. Yes

Okay, the prizes. Pure will be in
fingers to prove that some
took place. Who would believe?
Just wait until the magazine comes out.

  ZF> Well, what are your plans for the future, will 
participate in next ENLIGHT'e?

 IMP> We'll see. Finance and
on what will be present.
If it is that, yes. Or if
will not work, but will have the opportunity to attend. To be
where to live, what is and with whom
drink ... ;)

  ZF> A in Gomel is the case in general with the Spectrum?
 IMP> It is not clear. Like pc
all occupied. But many people
Spectrum retained. Only
company that sold computers now closed, as
apartment can not be found. Find
- Open, I guess. Spectrum'ov much.

  ZF> How to treat others
platforms - ibm, Amiga?
 IMP> Come to the ibm I do not belong. And the Amiga - it's all 
they know, miracle. Amiga rulez. Here's a demo on

pc - 2th reality - is
best. Classic pc, 1993,
winner of the Assembly. In my opinion
- Barely - barely on 600'tku pulls.
And what can 4'ka, 3'ka
can not normally rotate. A
what can 600'tka ... The ratio of megahertz to quality ...
pc demo on ENLIGHT'e - just
parody. I came to
realtime code compo - there was a
machine - 486 and 160 MHz. In humans, the picture was flying 
the third colored sprite, and nowhere tied, jerk, well, that -

just laughed - a worthy
160MHz effect.
