 Description of the game is done at a fairly good, professional
level.


 But there is a small fly in the ointment
in the ointment. This applies to
the program itself. It has long been on
unwritten agreement, none of
Hacker does not spoil the brand
Background and sprites. With a set of
modern programs make it
is not easy.

 Therefore, it is very frustrating when
see the sprites in the game with inscriptions have nothing to 
do with author's choice.

 Most users are requested to
ZX-Spectrum-do not spoil the program by their inscriptions, 
this is equivalent to the inscriptions in the entrances 
toilets. Do not give reason to doubt the level of your 
intellect.
