projects that have appeared on the Spectrum over the last
time.

MONSTRLAND
(C) 1998 RAGE Technology
Long ago, in early 1991, two "lunatics" on computers, but
have never heard of so their versions, as ZX-Spectrum, a man
found in the Journal of Engineering Youth "article about
computer games. The annex to this paper was
given a script of one of them. The script that was very
detailed, with features all the characters, with
Descriptions of locations and recommendations for writing
games. She called the toy "strange monsters." They realized
that game on the computer "Partner 01" (Extended model
radio-86RK). She received large (60Kb) and interesting ... Few
could pass and half of a great adventure. Sunk
into oblivion the computer, and do not remember no one would
about it, if not appeared on the Spectrum toy with familiar
names "MONSTRLAND" ...

Left - the game screen, right and bottom - a beautiful
dashboard, all on the level. Genre determine easy, but try:
most likely "turn-based graphical adventyura-quest with the
elements of action" (wrapped in!). And anyway, does not leave
me the idea that all this somewhere already ... Bah! " Everyone
remembers the stalker? MONSTRLAND looks much cooler, but it
seems very it seems ... Just a fabulous story. Yes, and has
pushed buggy. Try to look ahead farther. Instead of inscription
"Nothing much" (or similar software), screen clog any nonsense
(including menus). The game is not hangs, not even the playing
field after the next move is cleared, but the rest of the
screen, this is nonsense that spoils the gaming experience. I
will not talk about decency authors who have sold us
this game on the "scratched" disk (the protection and
their impact on users, we want to devote an entire section in
the next issue), but as you can scratch the disc, no catches
all the bugs (maybe there is that yet, the same we caught
almost immediately). Although glitch and not a crash, the
impression of the game (at first enthusiastic) was marred by ...
In addition, slizhkom really am

In general, good, Adventure soundly tailor and beautifully
decorated. I recommend playing if you missed the adventure.
But, if one condition - not too far to look.
P.S. And those two men who wrote MONSTERLAND in 1991,
this is your humble servant (NEXT-STOP) and ANDY ;)

I did not think that so captivate me fish

cialists. And here ... Himself did not recognize. As
for let the game - and ... But there is nothing
particularly second, all just to horrible. And as the
capture Tyva!
Not everything in the game looks purely smoothly.
Graphics, for example, at altitude. But forget about it ... A
little gate from the Russian-English menu.
How do you phrase: "Buy
maggots, "or" Info
bloodworm "...
But not too often

only when it is necessary that

rather tedious employment
Tie). But all the rest

For starters, you need to go through three qualifying
rounds - a swamp, river and lake. From each pond should get a
certain number of fish after which will be available next pond.
For the right to catch you pay one fee, plus a certain amount
for each minute. All caught fish also has a cost (even a foot
bindings and boots). Having three levels, you get to the sea.
Here where the real fishing begins! Fish here a lot more, and
worth it ... Even caught me ZH.-I. Cousteau (God rest his soul)
"pulled" by as much as seventy green! What to say about the
flounder, or mackerel ...
Your task is the maximum - to catch a bunch of fish on
$ 15000, then you can take part in the super tournament in
catching the goldfish. If you're lucky ... Finally one piece of
advice - to pull the fish a better keyboard, and then your
favorite joystick stick together very soon fin ...
How? You have not seen this program? Vain,
dear sir, nothing. And yet, can you just a fan of this fishing?
Still recommend Half an hour later you forget what you have in
your hands is not rod, and the joystick.
P.S. Yes, the program is absolutely not protected.

NET WALK
(C) 1998 STYLE GROUP CORPORATION
The problems with running the game you could read (and
maybe not read) in an interview with MIKE BLUM, but briefly
remind you ... When you start the game wrote "GENERAL SOUND not
present ...: (" (I've got it right and not present) and reset.
The Scorpio with this thus GS game runs without any problems.
Contact with the authors, I received the answer that this bug
is removed, but the first batch of drives went with him. About
replacing drives it was not a ... I also suggest you try eject
the disc after loading the first block, and then wait a bit,
insert again. Doing so tricky operation, the third time I
managed to finally see this game ...
On the PC I "poschastli
vilos "play it
before. What can
to say on this ver
these: all level ...
The essence of the game - to connect
all terminals with the OS
novnym computer in
network. Playing field for
deleno on cells in
each of them - participation
current cable is defined
form. Clicking on
it makes the rotation
rachivatsya square on
90 degrees. Plot
network connected to the
server is filled. By connecting all
terminals, get a nice picture, password the next level and this
level itself. It's very simple ... But not just these same
levels pass. But fun. About registration ... Few korezhit of
icons a la UFO ", but, overall, the impression is good.
User-friendly interface, support for all that is possible
(including the GS and mouse). Not bad animation and cool
(again) the picture. How many levels? Probably a lot.
Otherwise, how could score two drives. Surely, music by GS? Yes
No, probably pictures. Although, anything is possible ...
In short, if you decide to buy the game, then
ask for instructions on running it. And if you run
no problem - puzzle and enjoy the pictures. Believe me - they
are worth it!
P.S. Drop in for a minute at rest and watch the keyboard, you
can see many interesting things. Generally, with a sense of
humor, the authors all OK. ;)

HEADBALL
(C) 1998 ZX-MASTERS
Presented by Welcome corp.
As I did not want to return to the issue of protection,
but have simply can not resist ...
We have purchased a long-awaited full version game
GOLOVOBOL, all familiar to pretty groovy, and
fun demo. Well, I think we now show
This "piece of iron, whose head is tight! Ahn, no! On the road
between us and the "piece of iron" again got protection.
Protection not only against copying, but also from downloads.
Program is loaded, requested to wait 2 minutes, and if after
two minutes nothing happens, then encouraged to contact
authors. We waited a very long, but nothing came. Pulling the
drive and closely inspected it, we were horrified! Hair stand
on end! The disc has been scratched already IN FIVE FIELD! Not
surprisingly, the game did not go. Who endure such a mockery!
;) Contact the author. Mike told us that the protection
rewritten, leaving only a scratch. Offered to send him This
disc, in order to exchange it for work ... Thus, we still
managed to get a working version of the game ...
We examine in detail all the pros and cons. First of a
pleasant ... Cool toy, very dynamic, nice and smooth animation,
a strong (even at low level), computer game, AY-good music (on
GSsoprovozhdenii can not say anything - do not have it at me),
beautiful design, flexible configuration for any car, in short,
all at a level that is almost perfect. Why "almost"? Now for a
messy ... It is a pity that such a good program inserted a
defective disk driver. Kills and confuses a lot of submenus,
and any options. On the one hand - well, you can configure the
program "under themselves ", but still keep it all to disk, but
on the other hand - to get confused easily. Now, a little on
the schedule. Well, one can not use these toys background,
which are involved and the ink and paper! NOT !!!!! It's worst
mistake.
THIS DOWNLOAD THIS FULL VERSION
HERE everything is visible and here?
On a color monitor periodically the ball its color in
different colors, and in some places and generally disappears
... At low level it's annoying, but not very much. But on the
complex level, where the ball is worn with speed of the beam
... Can not play, I just went out and switched to another
screen where these "problem" less familiarity. Yes, one more
thing. The game itself takes a little less than 128K, almost
all the rest of the disk space occupied by scratches and music
under GS (can not say that the melody of "pulled" from other
games, well, that the authors acknowledge this). That such
things ...
Yes, long time since we did not spoil "nonlogical"
toys from Peter (CV does not count)! And now - HB!!!
I do not know about you, but I have not once zasyadu for her,
too very cool it all looks (if you do not watch
problems with attributes), I'd like to "kick her head," a
computer or a friend! In short, I recommend. Who will win the
car at the strongest level - you are welcome, please let us
know ... If you can prove the victory - win a prize! :)
P.S. When buying a drive with the game - count the scratches
... ;)

That such software problems and problem programs cheered
us authors. And this not all. Active people pishushih for
Spectrum, growing, and that gives us hope and warmth hearts
longing for a new software somewhere spektrumistov. Timeout
MIRROR, and FT-2 is not far away ... So that, wait!
And today is sufficient. Bye!
