           About B W O R



   In recent years the flow of new
games for the PC "ZX-SPECTRUM"
increased significantly. This is due,
Firstly, the ever-increasing activity of our domestic 
programming. Nice to know that, finally, steel and we have to 
write interesting and highly professional program. The trend 
towards further increase the quality of domestic

programs remains high
level.


   The second reason for the increase
number of new programs was
high activity of our "traders", who by the sweat of searching 
for their new channels game. You have to give them their due -

they work tirelessly. And,
Incidentally, we note that
purchase from local authors
license for distribution has become fairly common
business. And it pleases.


   The third reason for activation
market programs under the Speccy - increased interest in our 
Western colleagues to everything that is related to

the computer. Yes, no
surprised, "ZX-SPECTRUM" on
West is still alive! And it is connected
That's what. It is now widely
widely different kinds of computer emulators
"ZX-SPECTRUM". And this is understandable -
Well, unless you can just forget
the "classic" 80's, early 90's
years! How can people forget the game, which once stirred his 
imagination and forced to stay awake at night? 

   Yes, and how to ignore a whole stratum of games, without 
which it is difficult to imagine an entire computer era - an era

Spectrum? And now, when
write a completely emulators
Speccy, western computer fans, as former and current,
collect the entire collection of games for
of the democratic machine. In search of (hard to imagine that
are possible, but it is)
announced a long list of neglected programs. By popular in
West emulator "Z80" go
CD-ROM versions of the cluster
games and application software
software. And there is a demand. Resurrected from nothingness
Those who have long moved on
other platforms. In computer
teleconferences on the Speccy speak, argue, discuss the game ...

Pulse. According to our sources in 1995, only one of England 
emerged as the least Two new electronic journal

dedicated sinklerovskoy topics. It can be concluded that
that in his homeland ZX-SPECTRUM
became the first "virtual"
computer. In the sense that
most of it is in the form of
emulator on a more powerful IBM.
But, by the way, some users are "virtual" Speccy want to have 
around, and now, as they say, "rubber"

ZX-SPECTRUM. In computer networks, sometimes even slip
Advert type: buy
ZX-SPECTRUM 2 + with the power supply
and a joystick. "And the sellers are just somehow wring their 
prices. And do not want to fall below 30 pounds for the 48th 
tape ZX-SPECTRUM. 

   Meanwhile, the editors
e-journals publish
questionnaire to its readers,
which have the following question: "And
if you have a real (real) "ZX-SPECTRUM"?. By the way,
want to note that the British
and the Dutch, Hungarians and Romanians do not
have an inferiority complex about his "baby" hobby. Speccy for 
them an ordinary eight-bit computer on which is written a lot 
of and games that are fun to explore the second, third and even

fifth time. The classic example
- Program "ELITE". How many years
She is haunted by fans
Spectrum! And now in the hit parade September issue of the new
English e-zine
"EMULATE" This game takes the first place. Yes, there love is 
the same, that we have.


   There is nothing to be surprised. Balding uncles twelve years
ago, bought his first
Speccy share with young people and
other age-old uncle, his discoveries in difficult, but
very interesting games. And yet
asked: whether anyone programs shestnadtsatikilobaytnogo
old "ZX-SPECTRUM" ... In this
article could speculate and
that our Russian Speccy
gone much further than his
English predecessor, but
this topic for future articles. Now
You can summarize all of the above. In the near future
time for us to come down a waterfall "new-old" computer 
software "ZX-SPECTRUM". We are confident that soon and in our 
country will CD-ROM collections

Spectrum games.

   Just as long as no one did not examine this seriously. 
"Aybiemschikam" to understand their problems. And when sorted 
out, then necessary, and we will have

branded version of the classic Spectrum cassette. But already 
translated all under the TR-DOS to our

handymen will have no
labor. It would be only a wish. In order not to be unfounded, 
say, that to us recently, directly from

England came to three games: long
We wanted a complete brand "ENTERPRISE", a great RPG
"BARDS TALES" and seven-
"LASER SQUAD 128", which
includes all corporate levels with
IBM. In the next issues we
represent these programs your
attention.
