    Some non-principal editors proclaimed
the first issue of Insanity, that the e-pape
Official Esme is a group of Light Future.
For such words to be answered:) So
get the following text. He is rather
Official and quite without interest (for those
anyone interested to do this a newspaper).


  Thus,

             Story of Light Future.

1 --- Birth


    You can not just say that a group of Light
Future was founded in 1919 .. year. The point is
difficult - the future of organized ... But in those
ancient times, I certainly do this and do not
thought. Most likely, the exact date - this year
1993. Then the group was 4 people - it

I - Dr Dead, later Dr Dismal


    (Though hidden, so to speak, hidden from view

    All legal Membury of LFG me

    yet they call not only as Dead. But about

    that later ...)

Depeche, Amorph, Silver.


    Now all of the above, except for me
Of course, constitute the hidden part of LFG:)


    The reason for education was a huge
desire to do something yourself, the more potential
and the ability to write pretty good software in the
those days was very high. That is what
destroyed, as I now think, the then
backbone of the group. All could and wanted, but were
too cool ...


    In the 91-92 (LFG has not yet conceived)
Depeche wrote a game for the genre resembled
Kingdom Of Grain, but in many respects it
superior. But the game did not come out. The reason
simple - ubilis all sources, rather instead
source "Kingdom of El Dorado" was recorded
something completely different. Restore then all
hard work was just a scrap, as carrier
information served as a recorder, but an instrument
writing of computer Soviet miracle -
mutant Dubna. Soon after that Depeche'a
lost the desire to write anything on the mutants ...
Depech'a fully captured the world strategy for
Dubna anything more was not suitable.


  I then drew pictures, wrote something on
BASIC'e and pretty much played with toys. I
it allowed my Delta-S / 48 in Cheboksary
production. Later on, connect to it
music co-processor, I was just amazed
an abundance of sounds in such a small machine. More
Then, finding the tape version of the Sound Tracker'a, I
trying to figure out - how can there write such
great music tracks! Somewhere to this
day I dust disk with original music
pack'om for him some Polish musicians
(Although this is not a fact, I just said so in
buying a package). But how hard I tried, in
This miracle programistskoy thoughts still not
figured out. Yes, and too lazy to constantly load the editor
played a role in this matter. In general, in
91-92, I just caught the buzz from the fact that
I have a computer:)


    A little later in my 1992 Silver
Delta acquired the Kursk production. But this
was so buggy computer that did not last long
thinking, he changed it to 128 KB typewriter. Here
then, for me at least, and opened up the world
Speccy! Simply unmatched toys with sound and
effects, first seen another cassette demo
from THD! and all that - it's completely changed my
look at the Spectrum as a toy.


    In pain and confusion has passed for another year. Were
unsuccessful attempts to organize a group ILAN,
buy a 128 computer, put a floppy drive, but
nothing good out of all this did not work. During
all of this mess, my trembling soul
finds the infamous in our city building AO
"Galurgiya, which in those days was
Firm Abitroniik. It was a kind of paradise
spektrumistov where you could buy / sell
everything that was associated with a Spectrum
build or repair your computer, or
just make some acquaintances. It was there
I bought my first Profi + 512K.


    For me, followed by Silver and Amorph. Depeche
Meanwhile, truly committed terrorist
act - acquired IBM PC. Yes, the 486 PC was then
miracle of technology, so Depech'a was no longer
interested in any clones of the Spectrum ... .
We started to think about their projects, something
began to write, but Amorph yet turned in
by IBM. Silver just does not have lasted until
"Level", and so a group with such an extraordinary and
However, a simple name like Light Future,
was close to sunset and total collapse. But this
did not happen. I thought more deeply and more
own brain:) I now IT'S
seen. Depeche stuck in Fido's and opened for me
World of Spectrum is wider than Spectrofon'ovsky - I
able to contemplate the echoes ZX.SPECTRUM. Amorph wrote on
competence in various Depeche'a funny bend in
Pascal and Asma, Silver, at the end of the lazy,
spit on everything. But that's when I found the first
in my lifetime musician on the Spectrum - Black
Lord'a. In addition, it appeared that he had a good
coder, and now reborn as Speccy division of
LFG.


    It was then written about a dozen small
demos, but mainly because, as stated by
lantern. Because I was just crazy about music, then
strained BL'a write music and help me learn
then a Pro Tracker. Time passed, appeared
new software, there appear. ZX division LFG,
consisting of 2 people poured into the ZX hizn and
dragged from the latest programs, whether demos
toys, or system software - all were in
novelty. Like a bolt from the blue appeared
Digital Studio, were written tracks, and it was
decided to do something similar, but much cooler!
Black Lord meanwhile, also looked at
by IBM and saw a music software on it.
It is understandable why it is so progressive on so
Digital Studio times do not suit us. Was
written two demo versions of our editor
Digital Music - Digital Wave. But with the departure on
PC and Black Lord'a this brainchild of our thoughts are not
was destined to be born, because main encoder
project he was. Well, about individuality
approach to coding and originality of the writing
Editor's possible, I generally do not write
one article:) The fact that DW is fully
was written in STS 3.2, and therefore of the source code is not
can be no question. And the code itself, one
its appearance resembles porridge, although quite
progressive:) As a consequence he said
Dr.Codex aka Surv! V0r: "It's just a perversion and
encroachment on the brain, accustomed to
assembler.


2 --- Sunset


    In 1996-97, the activities of the group went on
subsided, leaving the majority of members on the PC, ucheba,
apathy in the period of complete chaos, lack of
time, money, dating ... In general, rather
strange and terrible state of odnovremmenno
period of prosperity for the Spectrum on the scene. All
attempts to stir up and raise the old LFG
Members lead to nowhere. LFG kept
Only me. And not to turn blue from
loneliness, I began Swap'om. A new
software. To support themselves financially and to find
supporters in his home town, he began
sell software, because mentioned "Abitronik"
also ordered to live a long time ...


    God! That's when I saw and learned what
lamer! On some like-minded can we talk about
in this scenario? In general, even at very
fairly good profits, I decide to put an end to sales and
decide what should I do now, because thought
group I still did not leave for a minute ... AND
that's how inspiration comes and brings people
the exchange of software their work. Not so hot some, but
my! It was CyberJack of Bleafop'a
(Later Bleafop Squadron of LFG).


3 --- attempts to revive


    In late 1997 the group joins
Bleafop Squadron. Enters into it and found in
heap lamer lone coder Angel. One god
known, according to what parameters I otsmatrival
people, but what happened to me then it is very
liked it. For some time, all
LFG members delve into the meaning of abbreviations Light
Future, and simply put, is an acquaintance and
Spectrum discussion of life outside and inside
LFG. Meanwhile, as if risen from the dead;
Dr. Dead alters nickname on Dr. Dismal, the group
joins another man - Dr. CodeX in
Later Surv! v0r. Planned to move forward
and out into the light.


    But, despite the accumulated potential of small,
group can not reach obsherossiyskuyu
scene.


    The reason is simple - over 6 years of unsuccessful
beginnings, searches, finds and loss of human
tend to get tired. For me, already made
was similar to stardom. What I
long dreamed of and sought to pass. I collected
group together a skeleton, told about the plans and
dreams, he found friends who became famous in
certain circles ... I began to attend
thought to disband the team and generally leave the
Spectrum.


    By then I already did was not necessary,
began studying at the university. At the hands of a diploma was
profession of the designer, it was necessary to at least 
consider future life. although in essence I do not

was "on the drum," but years of doing its own:)
like it or not, as of tomorrow begin
hesitate ...


4 --- Light Moments before Death


    March 20, 3 days before my birthday,
Dr.Dismal decides to dissolve the LFG, but the first time
a few months having come to the party Perm
spektrumistov, waives this insane
venture.

                          (C) CyberJack

CJ> Then, with the permission Dr.Dismal 'well, I'll tell
a few words. The slow decline personally I do not
suit. Therefore, even in the winter I started to direct
communication in the city. I think it was from my
arrival in January / February to the party in the tank
started these weekly ZX-crowd. And, if
earlier on Thursday came just Diver, Prof yes
Siril (been there of course and Silver, and Dr.Dismal,
but very rarely), then by March of the tank partying
almost all of our active spektrumisty
city. It is unlikely that I be wrong if I say that DrD,
having come to the party after his birthday,
very surprised to see so many people
sincerely interested in the Spectrum, just in
one place. And thank God that he gave up
its' insane'ovoy Odei.


5 --- We are the future! Light Future!


    Starting with FT'98 Light Future is included in the
party'ynuyu life. Participates in SS'999,
Paradox'99, Complex Compo'99, DI: HALT'99.
Despite the fact that the group is still almost
no issues, at this time is
set of incentives to continue work on
spktrume and necessary for this creative
potential.


    Wait and soon you more about us
hear!


                             to be continued ....
