     In this article I will try
talk about software market
security in our city, of course, if
methods of distributing programs
Recently, we could be called
market. New programs now originate in
mainly from Moscow (a few
months after the appearance there), and sometimes
from our local programmers (whose
programs often are only known
by itself, but a narrow circle of friends). But
Despite these circumstances,
users ZX-SPECTRUM still
exist in Rybinsk. I hope that
the advent of this magazine even though the situation
little change (for the better).
Talking about the programs I have, of course,
I'll try not to repeat SPECTROFON, although
it probably will be quite
difficult. So, let's begin.

     New titles will be pleased to
Basically, fans of strategy games.
The first program, which (as I
think) should pay attention to is:


           LORDS OF CHAOS


           (C) Mythos 1988


     The first thing that comes to mind, looking
on the playing field, LORDS OF CHAOS, it's good
The well-known program LASER SQUAD, but
In my opinion, LORDS OF CHAOS much
diverse and Dumb parameters
exceeds the above-mentioned program. By
plot of the game you take on the role of
magician. At the beginning of the game choose
spells, which can be used
pozzhe.Vy can change the settings
of the wizard and burn it to disc
as a separate program is fayla.V
the opportunity to play against the computer, and
just that much more interesting to
multiple opponents (1-4 players). In
the game, you can kiss nasozdavat
a bunch of different creatures with different
quality through the incantations and herbs
which, like weapons scattered
playing field.

     K game included a detailed
description in Russian, but if memory serves
your computer's 128k or more, in
the game may cause a slight
description of all the herbs (Again in Russian
language). In general, the impression of the program
very good, and I think that you miss
is not necessary, since in Game 3 scenario
different assignments.

     P.S. All of the above applies to
disk version Marysheva Alexander.



     Let's talk about games
created by programmers from Yaroslavl.
In my opinion, these programs do not yield
playability in the best foreign
samples.


               PIRATES



      Program: RB Romanov (Nicodim)

      Graphics: RB Romanov (Nicodim),

                  PRN code Ltd

      Music: PRN code Ltd

      Fonts: RB Romanov

      (C) Nicodim Yaroslavl 94-95.


     This program will undoubtedly delight
those who love (loved) to play
board games alone or with a friend.
Pirates are almost an exact copy of one
of such games. The program is made for a very
high level. You can customize
skill games on your opponent
desire and its readiness, if
you win it at the highest
level, then try to fight with
friend and most likely will not be able
off another couple of hours. However, I
speak their opinions, and may in nekotrye
me and do not agree. On the rules of the game
you can not mention, as they
described in detail in the program.
Special attention should be paid to
music (which, in my opinion, is chosen
very well) and, generally, the colorful
design of the program. Yes, you should still
mention that the program works only
on computers with memory 128k or more.



               SCORPIONS


           PRN code Ltd 1995


     "Scorpion" - the title of this
games, but do not think that you
represents a new textbook on
biology. This program belongs to the Games
strategic type. It should be noted that
programmers from Yaroslavl, seem to have decided
overwhelm us with its high
products. In this program, you are given to play a battle 
between SCORPIO AND PEOPLE. There is a possibility

play with your computer and together. People
have the opportunity to purchase various weapons and equipment. 
Three-dimensional graphics in the game a bit like the program 
UFO ENEMY Unknown, but the game itself is a program LORDS

OF CHAOS. I'm such a combination not previously
met and I think that the original ideas
Programmers will love and lovers
LASER SQUAD. Unfortunately the game
almost soundlessly, the overall impression
from this a bit spoiled.



                48 IRON



    GALAXY INC. PETERSBURG 1995


     The name of this game, as you have
probably noticed a rather
original, however, as the plot, according to
that you are the mutated
resident of a country, where he once lived
notorious DIZZY. So strange
mutation occurred as a result of
environmental changes generated by
man. I think that all of the above
you have a little bit interested. Graphics,
yes and the game itself, a bit like
DIZZY. Program is quite large, and
so you can start from different places
with the code, which is introduced in the early
game. It should be noted that the program
has good music.



                 Field of Miracles


 Moldova, Chisinau, OUTLAND CORPORATION 1995


     Perhaps the title of this program
You seemed a bit familiar?
That's right, this game is based on
eponymous television broadcast, and
done very well. If we believe
advertising, the Field of Miracles is about
3200 questions, so do not think that
be able to win easily. In addition,
is editor of issues and questions with
the ability to record to disk. The game is very
a lot of music and humor. On the goal of the game, I
I think talking is not necessary, since each
probably seen the transmission of TV and
strong differences in the rules you will not find.



                OCTOPUS


             BYTEPACK 1991


     And here's another program from
recent foreign supplies. Those who
knows English and likes to watch
James Bond film have already realized that
a game on the same film (in our
box office, it was called "OCTOPUSSY). In
the role of a fearless 007 you
to be done next
'Impossible' mission with the help of
various items that will be
gets you on the road or in different
shady characters. The game is great
color graphics, but sound
support leaves much to be
desired. One of the advantages of the program
is that during the game to die from
omissions still quite difficult and you
be able to calmly reflect on the situation.



     And now tell you about the Rybinsk
news. More recently, a well-known
We in the group INFOSOFT GROUP
has published his own game, of which
I will say a few words.



              PIPE DREAM


CODES: Kiryanov Leonid S.

                              (KLSOFT)

       Krasavin Alexander (PROTECVISION).
GRAPHIX: neighbor, Ivan

         Vladimir Fedorov (HACKER FEDYA).
SOUND: Colin Alex (NEVER).


      (C) INFOSOFT GROUP, Rybinsk 1995.


     About this program, I will not be much
tell yourself you can see it in the
our application. I want to say one thing: the mud, this game 
was a success and fans logic games, of course, find it

interesting. On the goal of the game, and all
Otherwise, you're relatively PIPE DREAM
