events overview
$% Surv! V0r, 2k-2k.1
More and more often ask myself the question - virtual
Spectrum and Spectrum real, they are two different things or
the same? If in fact really think about it, it turns out that
probably neither one nor the other have little in common,
except that it is 'similarity'. But necessary to analyze the
virtual tricks and facts reality, and then another, and the
third - a cross between reality and imaginary life ...
Who retired last quarter of 2000, perhaps more
keeping with the spirit of human development in the direction of
Globalization and dragging Spectrum Resources on the Internet,
other than another of the earliest.
Firstly, surely it should be noted the opening Scenergy Web
Resource - the next project Scenergy TEAM represented Digital
Reality and Concern Chaos with the participation of Cyber
International, ie, on couple with the team Random'a.
Everything has been done quite sensibly on the crest energy
CC'000. Anyway, before anything like this created for
spektrumovskohy scene was noted. Perhaps similarity
chaosite.com acts even as a prototype, and yesterday. True, in
a series of comments on this url, I is very low download speed
and constant attacks on the cake server.
That's in about the last bug story follows - Server
www.newmail.ru is practically in a coma due to lack of
disk space for its users, why not
works itself out, and mail server simply frequently
disconnected from outlet. Apparently, this reason and frequent
assaults on Arty, forced his warning in advance fast with the
creation of the mirrors on this web resource.
Second. No less interesting in my opinion, is
Opening Spectrum banner network that allows anyone
who wants to embed in website generators only Spectrum
banners. About this in his time and wrote a journal Scenergy.
In the third place. Rather briskly took one more start
Internet Support Project Spectrum in the network. This site
http://pos.izhnet.ru, which is situated in the vast yet
not developed on the full power of the new provider of Izhevsk.
Page deserves attention is only on the fact that the pace of its
construction is staggering. You bet!
Already a professional web designer Sleeping Man in the pair
with Himik'om still not indifferent to the Spectrum! Izhevsk
the team felt a new strength, and ... unfortunately
ceased to exist in its previous form, having
cleansing series. B0lshaya of co-members POS little understood
in Spectrum today, and those who have - not the reason for
Evacuation of the new millennium ... Spectrum Therefore, in
Himik'a statement:
'Power Of Sound moved to a new level - creating
stsenovogo site by professional programmers
Spectrum and dedicated people, a list which in the near
future
time will appear on web page. From now on official
band name - Power Of Sound Web Team, or simply
POS-WT '.
And here are a couple of curious things on the site.
Initially, somewhere in the spring of 2000, its beta version
was on the corporate server one of our defense industries
www.concern-axion.com, but for different reasons, the site did
not There was nothing said the general public, although a
couple of links slip into the world. Another interesting fact
is that the site is functioning Spectrum first web chat, other
than the irc channel # z80, and download section is really is
quite impressive arhivchiki under 100 megabytes of packaged
software, which includes Virtually the entire archive of
Spectrum Power Of Sound, of saved Phantom'om. The site was
opened and the web forum.
Please understand me correctly. The site is not a monopoly
the above command, although its name is purely a tribute
respect for the traditions of the bygone. He first offered to
everyone possible assistance in creating your own pages for any
spektrumista who wish to cooperate with their portal and
place on it your information that's never been no previous
did, except, perhaps tempting offer holders
www.zx.ru place ready Spectrum pages on
the above server.
I must say that people either have not yet understood, or
not particularly necessary, but so far responded only author
emulator Z80 Stealth Sergey Bulba, as well as publishers
Izhnews - Brutal Creators. It is not excluded that join more
interested people.
And on the network. Carefully site for the New Year Virtual
Tr-Dos, who runs Paul Pavlov, expecting his 38000th
visitor, but what has happened. Instead, the people
received a regular update of the resource and a bunch of novya.
As reported by Arty, the fate of the existence of both the
Digital Reality, and Scenergy predetermined ...
For example, Digital Reality no longer has that powerful
core, which was previously, ie actually active in
Spectrum scene as a team demomeykerov she stopped.
Extinguished. But this does not mean that it is entirely lost
for all. The next issue of the journal Scenergy, now the third
account, if any, and will ever be released, it is not in the
form of disk mag'a, but rather in the web version, but the
details and features can only guess. Drrrrrrrr ......
In general, friends spektrumisty! Scenergy Team probably
also already does not exist in a form that was previously:
Phantasy burn desire to produce its own international e-project
and Razzlerz busy fine-tuning before the disk version of the
mind Pussy, if believe all the same rumors! About Progress'e do
not hear quite long time - no hearing, nor spirit ...
In the treasury of the past comments have God knows when;)
CC'000 added the following message from Megus ^ Brainwave:
'Directly to the party, according to preliminary results,
won it Tryptomine Dream, the reaction of the hall to our DeMouy
was very, very good: sometimes heard screams like: "Exploder
Sucks! ":) However, as I think both are very decent demos
look. Even before the party EA ^ Antares told me that a lot of
dem, but only 2 really strong: our and Dogma.
Both demos have their charms, but they also have their
drawbacks. I would rate them like this:
Tryptomine Dream:
+ Original soundtrack (it's marked everything, from whom
I asked about it);
+ Saturated colors;
- Many well-known effects (voxel landscape, mirror
rotating);
- Weak schedule (although we were told that it was weak
Graphics and gave Deme original style, but at the same time
Fil / Antares said that "all Tigger its graphics DeMouy
spoiled ").
Dogma:
Plus the existence of the storyline;
+ Powerful 3D;
+ Excellent graphics;
- Chunks;
- Standard soundtrack.
According to the results party Tryptomine dream was leading
with a margin of ~ 60 points. After the conversion gap had
narrowed to 8 points, but is not in our favor. Rupture of one
percent! Appeal the results we do not want, and it is too late.
By the way, in fairness it should be noted that Tryptomine Dream
could get more points, because has been shown not to end.
Everyone remembers the ending of the demo with two digitizing?
The ending was stabbed a man who was sitting at the computer
(who it was, I do not know). Digitization loaded from disk, and
as he saw it, I do not understand? MMA, at my request, promised
at the end of the day the curtain to let our DeMouy again.
Promise to perform was not possible because us
literally kicked out of the hall at the end of the first day.
In general, once so after scaling such situation, I am for
myself simply shared the first place among Tryptomine Dream and
Dogma. '

Fashion for the renaming of commands exacerbated the spread
of this infection: Eternity Industry renamed Placebo,
immediately christened a multi-platform team. It is not clear
one - that Is this a veiled care Amiga Scene, any plans
really ambitious, requiring a reorganization, although
could probably find a better solution than
organizing another project charts?! Well, why in Kovrov Need
second charts? .. Although, if it was done, therefore it is
someone who needs it. But it is not rational. Just punch in the
unnecessary doubts voters ...
Just a couple of days after the formation of Placebo
currently 'Said' newly formed team under the Guano Apes
organizational beginning Raver'a. But the whole joke was that
the Raver (organizer Phantasy), pinned on what is done with EI.
He asked to regard this step is not granted, but as a kind of
a retaliatory move. Therefore, Phantasy not disappeared, nor
even renamed and the name of Guano Apes, this is a parody on
the title Placebo - one of rokapopsovyh groups present. So GoA
is not meant to be a Phantasy. Heh! :) Phantasy is Alive.
All the same Raver after Phat'0 distributed
press release about the last event. Apparently all of us
expects a long way in the dunes, until finally all work will be
packaged in a candy bar named after the manner of Phat0.bas
Phat9, published in Scenergy # 2. This party may be considered,
perhaps the most enigmatic of all ongoing - the results can not
be get from anyone, even himself Raver recently rarely
communicates with the world. We'll wait one more ... phat ...

What happened to the PHAT0?
for these dying to see the results' releases
Since a lot of people seems to be interested in the results
and releases of PHAT0 party, there is this little press release
for all of you. We're planning to have results ready by the end
of this week or more like next week, though perhaps you'll have
to wait a bit more for the releases. Or maybe we'll release
everything together - let's see.
This document is not meant to be some kind of lame excuse
about why results are still not published - the people who took
part in compo have been contacted now as well as everybody who
did attend the party and we don't owe anything for the rest who
did not care to support us or just screwed up.
In general, party was pretty much like it was last year
except we had lot more space for partying. The low ammount of
guests wasn't also something what somebody worried about since
it was exciting enough to party with people who dared to be
there.
PHAT0 just leaves question of the status of PHAT1. Will it
be an another small scale meeting or should it grow bigger
involving much more people in the organization - we'll still
have to decide.
Though one thing is clear for sure - the time we wasted in
advertising the event was 10 times bigger than last year, though
the results were almost the same. If we spend that much time in
the organization, we would be glad to get some more suport. If
you have some suggestions or ideas, please get in touch with us
using email: phat0@phantasy-hq.com or try to catch some member
in # phantasy on IRCnet.
So, dear sceners, be patient and you'll get what you want -
we have right to have our time now, since we sacrified so much
of it before the party. Everything will be delivered in top
quality - no preresults, no incorrect results etc.

That such, brother of the case.
Glory Mednonogov finally spoke out on chicken
eggs and black crows. The second chick is so and will not
appear in any the case of Copper Feet should not wait for him:
(((However, his plans are not so fatal. He did not exclude the
possibility transmission source of the Black Crow-2 for general
use through any ftp server or transferring them to any one
of the teams, which might well carry on its standards
this long-awaited release of the product.
December 24, 2000 at the world through third parties has
been given the first disc as of yet (I hope all the same)
unreleased games. Disc contains a 12-minute video on the
background, a farewell words of praise and music is the anthem
of the USSR / Russia to the flag first ... In Fido developed
this commotion over the last subj'a ;)
Who could not run this disk can take advantage of
the following advice: remove the code from the following boot
command ld a, (# 1ffd): out (c), a. The disc also contains the
final cuts for Both versions of the game. Some have already
been able to get them ...
Gentlemen, game-makers who have the potency something else
produce! Utryasite issue is about the Black Crow-2!
Once smooth and unexpectedly for most, Close Project
Samara Publishers Born Dead, promising to show the gruel in
case log-sheet structure of the newspaper ... The real reasons
phasing out is anyone's guess, but
Friendly and inquisitive is quite possible to understand what
was all the fuss. Simply, it was worth it even close Born
Dead, to promise to show the world a new symphony on the theme
'Spectrum scene e-zine'?
Born Dead: The next chapter?
---------------------------
official press release by UnBEL! EVER ^ x7m
for ex-USSR users ZX-Spectrum
Dear users Speccy! Today I want to tell you
Some suggestions for further future of one of
the largest to date of electronic publications - Born Dead.
I hope all of you know perfectly well what is Born Dead!? If
no, let me remind: Born Dead - an electronic newspaper (or
disk-zine, if someone is more like it), published at the end
1998th year in the city of Samara by a group of people known as
the Legendary Born Dead Crew. The publication is aimed at
different layers of computer users ZX-SPECTRUM. At the moment
published 16 issues, the release date of the last - July of
2000.
Creating a newspaper, we had two aims, both of which
can be considered primary. Interesting and sensational material,
lozhivshiysya based publications, is always intertwined with
the latest programming technologies that are embodied in the
shell. Important part of it was music and art
design, as well as one overall style and design that was
Designed and maintained throughout all rooms.
Two years, Born Dead, by many reviews, is a leader in
electronic information space ZX Spectrum. Us
managed not only to convey the latest news to readers
first, but to constantly improve that bar, which corresponded
modern ideas about the electronic edition.
However, most importantly, thanks to the fantastic
popularity Born Dead'a, sprang from their sleep, entire regions
of our country and born to a village on an unprecedented
phenomenon SPECCY - disk-zine Scene! Moreover, the successors
of our business bravely threw call "fathers founders "in the
form of new, original ideas and an independent design of their
publications. There is real competition, which made the
production of disk-zine'ov truly interesting and worthy
business.
At the same time, work on the Born Dead'om virtually
leaves no chances for the development of other projects. That
is why soberly assess the situation today, I - UnBEL! EVER ^
x7m - decided to openly declare that:
from this point conclude modest attempts to organize
any projects in the demo / game scenes and completely
dedicate myself stsenovoy journalism. However, from
behalf of all newspaper publishers, I have to say about
_prekraschenii_ project BORN DEAD ...
According to the results of the last issue, it is obvious
that we squeezed the maximum of the current format of the
newspaper. Further development impossible, since it inhibits
both the existing shell and all that ideological schema that is
publishing. Continue to do BORN DEAD in the format as it is
currently, would stay in place and slowly but surely come
to the impasse, which caught in his time many other
edition.
However, I know what to do to create a new
publication, publication with a long and bright future,
dizk-zine 21st century! You're probably already wondering how
it will look shell of the disk-zine'a in what direction will
occur 50fps scroll, and what hardware is required for its
operation. Here see you too obsessed and going nowhere.
Publication of the 21st century - is more than just text,
sprites and scrolling ... And this more may soon come into your
home!
So, first of all, the new e-zine will work on any
computer is compatible with ZX SPECTRUM 128K. Moreover, the
notion of "Any" includes a disk interface! We are not going
limit readership to those who use the Beta Disk.
Further, there will be no restrictions on the size and
use of graphics. Material can be printed in any font,
use as little sprites, as well as whole movies in full screen
pictures, as well as have an arbitrary coloring. And of course
all this will be accompanied by 50fps shell, and smooth and
performance is guaranteed for any model of ZX Spectrum, and
clones.
The publication will contain material on the two main
languages - Russian and English. Wherever possible, we will
duplicate each article in both languages, but be prepared to
read the interesting your information only in English - it is
quite natural in our time!
The main theme of e-zine'a - a demoscene, and everything to
do with it connected. However, besides this, we plan to publish
historical and research material on the 8-bit computers.
Despite the fact that the platform for e-zine'a would ZX SPECTUM
128, this does not prevent us from writing about other, equally
interesting home computers. Promise important - the material
will be highly professional and certainly interesting.
Because the project is in its infancy, there is no
no question about the frequency of publication. The first
number will be release not later than the end of October this
year. All will be depend on the coherence of all those who will
work on this project. Naturally, the main part of publishers -
is well known to you the creators of the old BORN DEAD'a.
However, no cost and without new faces! First and foremost, we
need writers interesting materials related to the topic of
publications, as well as people who can translate and correct
texts in English and some European languages.
All of your questions and suggestions you may
send to the below contact address. There also may be
write all those who want to join the project.

So it would be better in this case to support the newspaper
publishers 'Passage' by all means, to start doing a really
quality and interesting printed newsletter or magazine
(Anyone anything).
The regiment is temporarily closed or asleep lethargy
e-zine projects are HeresY and # Z80 ... The first, most likely
lost the thread of their continued existence by virtue of the
cult and non-traditional content. Although, quite a successful
project and peculiar. Perm newspaper for objective reasons,
sleeps and dreams when it comes Diver and prepare a new number
....
Yes, that is, by the way, Demiurge Ash found the strength to
Resuscitation of his chart of the project. Already established
and operates web version. Results of the first ballot can be
estimated by at http://zxchart.boom.ru. It seems to be promised
that Proxima prepare a dos version of the results. Looking
ahead to say that neither to which people are not supernatural
'dogolosovalsya'.
Suffered a stroke and the staff of our newspaper publishers,
LFG split the two camps and, in fact unichtozhivy, this
label. The result was simply Insanity without
even-odd philosophy and foppery with shells. Although
For some reason in the depths of people's web hosted an informal
Page lfg ... Official web page was not, but here some
virtual ghoul!
Look at it and marvel at the way the whole scene
degenerates into a kind of begin to rot cabbage, chopped
Chapayev saber ... Becomes painful to watch for attempts to
crawl through the 'people', which demonstrates decomposed in
the sliders freaks in the face of the first issue Ultimathum,
who stated immediately, which will support the organization of
their local party Izhevsk. ... Where, where?? Here, near the
monument eNtogo?
In my cynical assessment of the main thing is not even a
fact Party mutation, and the fact that no matter how weird, and
youth on the Spectrum is ... even if some kind of - want to
party, once at home ...
Quite a pleasant surprise for most was the appearance of
Publication Melancholy of Delirium Tremens. Here's what else
was missing stage, so it's a pair of tags and strong statements
on the topic of the day! Promise that the magazine Funeral # 2
will be no less interesting.
This same team recently may be the most
progressing in all respects. Had already come
several versions of a graphical editor BGE, why is
only wonder at least another useful things - the creation
archiver Hrip1_0, which have been waiting for!
For those who do the same thinks Spectrum rots due to
that the disks on sale there are virtually no dedicated
the following information. Managed to find reliable data - such
bourgeois giant manufacturers of magnetic media like TDK,
BASF, Verbatim, Boeder still to this day carry
Issue nevi five inch floppy DS/2D and compatible counterparts.
Earlier already somebody, sometime and somewhere it was
reported that the release these carriers had been discontinued,
but it is not so!
Moreover, such a floppy disk is still in demand
the Western world, because their low price compared with the
same 3.5''floppy disk is available. Why are there five inch
floppy ... Eight-disc also produced to date!
Russia is simply not bringing in country production of such a
nature because it is not already such a demand, which was
previously (... And said that Russia malokompyuterizirovannaya
country). That it would be, if you order the car or two floppy
disks Verbatim??? By the way, here as products of this company,
then one computer firm in our city, I ordered a box of floppy
disks 5.25.'' And what do you think? To me it certainly brought
a rabid money (10 USD / 1 disk). Release date on the box - 'jan
2000'. You do nothing said?
With diskettes sorted out. Now for the drives ...
Five inch drives are also produced, as are the floppy.
Here, for example Nemo, sells quite decent new import
drives.
Generally, you come to the conclusion that nothing had
decayed. Information - the sea! Spectrum alive and kicking.
There is a lot of programs, and write reviews on them - my
style of metal, and do it does not plan to. Small spisochek
recently published programs in chaotic order: Dnipro # 01,
Virtual demo by Entire, Seaquest by Tapac, Never Noized by Perm
People, Skimer # 01, a lot earlier nerelizhennyh in tr dos'e
tapovskih demos, some half-baked Toys, text and graphics
editors, vydiralka music modules Pusher from Himik ZxZ, new
demos Wolf 3d and WarCraft'opodobnyh games sistemki, magazines,
newspapers, muzyklanye albums ... and so much more -
importantly, look!
People! Well, at least to Triumph continued to publish its
vordovsky file - an overview of the software novya WareZ. After
you have it pretty well poluchalos!
