<b>Interview</b> - Jerri / Alien Factory: How did the game Walker.

    How did WALKER

            or

  as bent projects

 First of all let me introduce
ardent fan of the Spectrum, as well as a member
Group ALIEN FACTORY, which showed
themselves in the conversion from the Amiga game WALKER -
Yuri Potapov (JERRI).

 J-JERRI
 K-Correspondent (Penetrator)

 K: Well, first of all want to ask,
why "JERRI"? And why the nickname
ends with "I", rather than the "Y".
 J: It started long ago, another
BC 0010-01. The table records Yuri read too ugly, that's when I 
wrote Jerri. Well, a "i", because I did not the mouse! :)

 K: How did you begin to Spectrum'e why
is it and what programs you have
written. (In chronological order).
 J: Well, actually I started not to Speccy, and
the MC-61, then was BK'ashka (at
games), and one day in the shop saw
Spectrum, engraver offers to play on
It is worth 10 minutes - 1rub, and he
there were Zynaps, Exolon, Venom, etc.
Then there were the Computer Games by 50 kopecks
20 min.
 This was back in school, then enrolled in the
technician, and in autumn 1993 I bought a Delta-C 128 "and from 
the outset, I would like to make games for computers. My first 
the game was a game in BASIC, "The Knight" (Editor's note.: Do 
not confuse this product with the program, which has a similar 
name, the product of companion), then there was a terrible 
unplayable "Tower", already using the machine code.

 Then was written purely in code "Star
Battle ", in my opinion is even less playable. Her Gens'e I did 
in three weeks then two days compiling a tape recorder, and 
another week fixed STS'om numerous bugs in the still warm 
corpse of prog:)  Then I got the drive, and I

began to pick specific games. Moey favorite game was "Jack the 
Nipper".  Then there was the market, there was a>> RRA>>, and

then began writing "Walker" 'a and
other adverse prog ...
 K: What is a wheelbarrow now sit?
 J: Now I have a Scorpion-turbo (green card), which has a 224 
bar in line (as in Pentagon). That such

perverted!
 K: How did you meet with Ryabov, Roman>> RRA>> (second member 
of the team "Alien Factory")?

 J: Once, in the book market, I saw
new man, he insisted that he wrote
Walker'a. What a Walker, I did not
knew. We went to him and he showed a rather gnarled beast, 
running across the screen may be not gnarled, but it There was 
something with Romino graphics by hand, and rather inhibitory. 
He asked for help in writing "Walker" 'and I agreed, and

Romik has started to dig the original Amiga prog, and thrust 
out her schedule and logic ... So it all started.  K: What 
joint projects are conceived, for whatever reasons have not 
been implemented. And so the same that was appended to end.

 J: Well, first of all, it's "Walker", he
now in the process.
 Secondly, "Mod Player for covox",
the main difference from the mod-player'a Cobra
was that unfair play all
effects of the original MOD'a, but he
was not such a high speed. In this
project I helped Roma only with disk operations, but gave some 
advice in detail.

 There was another project "P.D.T." (Music
editor allows you to play and
edit the original MOD'y) also
for covox, but the whole thing to write novels.
 Unfortunately, these two projects have been stabbed to death 
in the embryo (at source), Great and terrible ..... which simply

said, "Why do you want?", and Roma is
it scored.
 RRA: This player will play in the
"Walker" 'e
 K: Where are gone "WALKER", and whether he doshagaet
before the release of the game?
 J: Anywhere he went, and before the release of the game
certainly doshagaet!
 K: What other teams were invited to
working together? If yes, what was
written?
 J: Well, with MMCM'om (musician
from the SAGE GROUP) I had written "Gun
Man ".
 K: Dead Is the Spectrum? If not, how do you see its future?
 J: Spectrum was a Spectrum,
Spectrum is (are:)! Just a sea of ideas, lacking only the 
hands: (  K: I know that "WALKER" project

>> RRA>>, but what do you want to implement
itself, except for "GUN MAN 3"?
 J: Let there be no more Ganmenov nor the second nor the third. 
In general, "Gun Man" was only a mock for testing

Some algorithms and some of what my
ideas, so criticism Unbeliever'a I
I think baseless, the more he
he asked to release a prog in the light. And he
I still do not want anything, though ... ;)
 K: Not gonna go there on
another platform, and if so, on what,
if not why not?
 J: Everything flows, everything changes, but with
time and I go, it is probably
to PC.
 K: What else besides the computer you
doing?
 J: I work, well, sometimes .... girls,
drinks, etc ...
 K: What SPECCY compatible computer
do you like more? Why?
 J: Scorpion of course, because he's
I have: P
 K: And finally tell me something
cool from my computer life.
 J: The most fun, it's drunk>> RRA>>
