        From the world of bat


"S": Bravo, readers! A stream of letters addressed to us has 
grown considerably. To everyone who wrote, thank you! 


   And now a word to readers of our magazine.

ANSHUKOV VLADIMIR (Norilsk):
Hello! Very pleased that
You were actively rasprostronyat your journal.


   I think that readers
will be very interesting to learn about
"Light Pere 'and its software support. Print
my letter "spectrophone and
perhaps someone will respond to this proposal?


   After all, gentlemen, what
creative ideas can be translated
into reality with the help of this
device! And yet, interestingly,
Are there special graphic scanners (as in IBM PC)
for the Speccy? ...


   I would also like to know
something about the causes of conflict
floppy drive controller with our
"Delta". Why sometimes when
using a controller, it is impossible to format a floppy disk? 
Although all games and system programs are fine. Answer, what 
is it? 

"S": We address the questions posed to all professionals, 
Vladimir for hardware. Maybe someone will help him? We are 
pleased to publish your response. 

From add that image
Scanners speccy not see
accounted for, but videoskanery,
able to scan and "herded" into the computer footage from the TV 
or not vidiomagnitofona recently appeared for sale in

Moscow, on Mitinskoe radio market.
We contacted the manufacturers
these vidioskanerov and they promised us to prepare a
"SPECTROFON" a short article about
these devices.

Penzina JP (Samara): Please explain how to save
state of the game "ROBIN OF
SHERWOOD "(" S "N5)? After" save "
appears "ready Tape ... Press
<ENTER> "Without asking for the file name. The drive works off, 
but floppy disk (the other) does not

ships. Thank you for the excellent
game.
"S": The program retains a deferred status "in itself". 
Therefore, in order to shipment normally work, you need to 
rewrite the game to another floppy disk (or to ship the 
original). 

Prince Andrew, from Perm, offers us a disc version of the widely
well-known games (at least
in Moscow). This, of course, well
but, unfortunately, from this list
We have nothing interesting.
Maybe the game prepared
Andrew interest to our readers? For those who want to connect 
with Andrew, we give it Address:

Momot, Dmitry: I live in the city
Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. Centers, where
You can buy games for the Speccy
- No. Me and all my friends wanted
would have adventyurnye game, but
our city to get their very
difficult. Therefore, if possible,
we would like to play:
"SHERLOCK", "HULK "...(" S": Further
in a letter to our readers is
transfer of many well-known
games). All the games we have on tape, disk drives do not.

"S": I wonder how Dimitri
not having the drive, reads
"SPECTROFON"? However, we found
known that the cluster version
our journal has been created (check out the "Advertising"). A
about the game - once again announce
all that we do not deal
their distribution, except in
of our magazine.
If the game is worthy of attention -
we are preparing for her description and
engaging in "SPECTROFON".
The only thing we can -
publish the address of our readers:

    ul.Popovicha d.23a, kv.1.

         Momot, Dmitry

PAUL KOLYUHOV AND SERGEY LEBEDINSKY (Rybinsk): You write
Two people, engaged
Spectrum for many years ...


   Write to you on such an issue:
in the not so loved by you
DYZZY-6.5 (the author A. Moskalenko,
Recycling Agayev Eldar) in the loader, in a running line, we
read awesome words: "...
in Tzaritzyno was a man who
makes an editor for the program
"LASER SQUAD" ". We beg
tell more about it.

"S": the peasant is nothing more detailed report can not. MUZHIK
- Even in Africa - a man. But then,
that he wrote an editor for "LASER
SQUAD "- it's really cool. We hope that as soon as
editor will be written about us
This will inform you.


   And yet, so if the newly affected game DYZZY 7 (OI 
Moskalenko) renamed DYZZY 6.5.

Version of this game, prepared
Agayev E. after treatment stopped, "capricious" and for the 
fans may be of some interest. Although, of course, no dialogue, 
this program is still looks boring.



KOLYUHOV P. and S. LEBEDINSKY: We
decided that a little criticism you
can not hurt. A critic will
about the ugly graphics in your magazine ... And in general, to 
announce a competition for the logo to "Spectrophone.


"S": Is downright ugly in our schedule? Although, in
and large, you are right. Arts education in our
no. Working on the next issue of the magazine, we first think 
about the content, and only then on design. And it is clear that

This approach can design
be not up to par. But, try as we can. And what about
competition - this is good:



The editorial board of "SPECTROFON"
ANNOUNCES COMPETITION FOR THE BEST
Logo and "hat" to our magazine. WORK ACCEPTED ONLY
A floppy disk. CONTEST WINNER
Get a fresh issue.


   WORK SEND TO:


     125130 Moscow POBox 1951


        GOOD LUCK!

BLAGOVIDOV VV (Ufa): Well done! Bring to light such a 
respectable magazine - a really considerable Work! A week ago, 
on our Ufa "cloud" I bought (and

not for a pittance!) your
Distributor's already five editions of "SPECTROFON" Yes. And, 
of course quickly "swallowed" is the amount of information.


Has now decided to sketch out a short letter to you and share 
some thoughts and wishes ... Stubbornly bend the same line and 
on, comrades ... because walking is certainly true by! Let 
there about different issues for hardware, systems, language 
and techniques of programming tells us to close and beloved 
"ZX-REVIEW." We, die-hard, the poor (the rich,

perhaps, will load
"PC-REVIEW" in its PENTIUM) gamers on Speccy will happily 
clapping to the Your magazine.



   And now listen to a couple of words
on the tastes of the ordinary, not the underdog savvy and 
rather stupid player (ie menya!) 



   The best company that produces
(Or release?) Toys
ZX (and maybe not just for him) believes the company System
Three. Visual and logical
the quality of their work beyond all
praise. And although the programs they released not too much - 
and I I have such as "TUSKER", "MYTH",

"VENDETTA", "LAST NINJA 1'2"
(By the way, someone has unspoiled version of L. NINJA 1?) -
Each of these games - just the same
masterpiece. Well, my darling, I
I think the firm INCENTIVE. Take
Games firms CODE MASTERS (DIZZY,
SEYMOUR, etc.) - they are certainly
fine, but usually pretty fast to spin up
end. Or text adventyury -
all as on selection - too
complicated for my unsophisticated
mind, and in reality they do not
missing.
Another thing the game companies
INCENTIVE. It's all in front of you!
All you can explore, touch
hands (pat blaster ...).
Right look with your own eyes!
Here's where you have to use the bulk
schedule, rather than spend money on some supercomplex 
immitatory there different track ships

Hovercraft with turbopodduvom marks "Boeing" (yes let
I do not take offense to fans
such monsters as the F-19 or
BATTLE COMMAND - not about them talking about).
Games such as "TOTAL ECLIPSE
1'2 ", and" CASTLE MASTER "I went
Long before your exit in
light, dear "SPECTROFON". AND
now happily "pohryukivayu"
trying to drill through this
gassy planet on your
Driller-ship ...


"S": By the way, someone has passed
game "DRILLER"? We have
problems with the last sector.
While we can not find the entrance. In general, this game is - 
a brilliant example for all lovers of three games. 

BLAGOVIDOV VV: Frantically looking for
game "DARK SIDE" of the same opera, as recently seen enough
demo of this program.

"S": In Moscow, this game is for sale!
for a long time and many have already passed
it. A more detailed description than can be found in collections
BEST GAME firms CBC.



BLAGOVIDOV VV: By the way: we
on cloud rumors (just rumors, no more) that all of the above 
masterpieces INCENTIVE produces through its same software, 
called 3D-Construction Kit, which

Someone once read something and
somewhere seen ...

"S": Here we have decided to suspend
our esteemed readers and announce that the Programme
3D-Construction is not the editor of three-dimensional games, 
as full-fledged game. Although, it is likely that this program 
was delivered in package with the editor and other

necessary utilities. But since
or another editor, as such we have not met.



BLAGOVIDOV VV: Well, having overcome, finally, all twists
his scattered thoughts, I
came very close to the topic with
which wanted to start their
letter. So - Gargole Games!
I think you are not the first time
hear about this company and its "Fab Four":
"TIR-NA-NOG", "DUN DARACH",
"MARSPORT", "HEAVY ON THE
MAGIC ". I, in turn, is
watch closely for the promotion
these games in the "ZX-Revue" and I rejoice
for those achievements that could
guys do in these incredibly
complex games. But I want to say
so far never been published a single word (although "ZX-Review"
and threatened) of "MARSPORT". A
because this program, though inferior in some way "HEAVY ON THE
MAGIC ", but in my opinion would be
better "DUN DARACH".
In general, I recently sat down
for her, and now offer this
to make and you ...

"S": Next, our correspondent
describes the debut of this
interesting game. Next
issue of the magazine, when we
prepare a full-disk version of the game "MARSPORT" - read
to "debut". We think that you will not have to miss: the game
full of unsolved mysteries and
secrets.


   And while we are waiting for new messages.
And not to miss, we have
entertained by any
our ways.
