Platform hallucinations - events, facts and announcements: Announcement of musical and graphic sites, updates on the Power Of Sound and Virtual TR-DOS, a new party from the X-Team and a new game from Darkmax, came kryaknuta version PUSSY, novsti from Inforkom etc.

                ... Platform galyutsinatsii ...



    (C) compilation Survivor, 2oo1



    Actually, there are not many events that for each
of them are spoken of as milestones in the history of the 
Spectrum, but CC'1 definitely claim to be a party, which went 
down in history under the timpani.



    Otherwise, I'd probably would not even distinguish them in
some kind of special section, because any publication aimed
primarily at informing the potential audience of readers
facts, sometimes rumors, speculation. For any of them stand
interested persons.


    Psychology reader already deeply studied
modern science. Fixation of attention usually occurs at
Titles, headings. Few treats publication as one
whole, especially if the reader is nothing in it is not looking
except for two or three so-called hot news of the facts, and 
this flatters his vanity.



    It just so happened that almost all information is taken 
from networks. For example, according to sources close to the

reliable, it became known that in the near future we should
(Or should not?) Wait for the emergence of a new stsenovogo 
portal based on the Speccy Scene.



    The main idea of ​​the site appear to be specialized
Spectrum on Tracker music editors. Originally
called the figure file has to be published on the website
music, it is quite impressive - 20 megabytes. Apparently, until
searched hosting. We'll wait for the appearance. The authors of 
the site and source information at their request has not been 
disclosed. 


    At the same time Paracels ^ PCB has already started to 
implement my idea - to create your own website, based on

Spectrum graphics similar to ammy/c64/pc Portal GFX
Zone. ZX Pixel gallery has become an information resource for
low resolution graphics.


    In continuation of the network theme.


    Server Power Of Sound, the only Spectrum stsenovy
resource with daily updates on the Internet has changed the 
design. New Skin created the Demiurge Ash, with the code as 
always helped the Sleeping Man. 


    According to the Himik ^ PoS-Wt, which he did for the 
channel # Z80, will continue to be carried out changing the 
service provided by the server, because the current

hardware-software system is not fully satisfied
all the current needs of the scene. As a consequence of
conjectural outline of plans to provide an opportunity
open to registered users access to a long-awaited
ftp. Protocol and service irc via the web.


    Until now, the server 'lame' English version, as
engaged in this robot interpreter, not a living person 
trebueschee water, food, sleep.


 ... Q - Question (question)
 ... A - Answer (answer)


    Q> Himik, portal PoS-Wt is by far the most
developing a resource on the network, orientiovannym platform
Spectrum ZX. Can you say, at least a couple of words about the 
plans for the future?



    A> If we talk on the site, it will continue to evolve.
The plans to make the service such as irc via the web as a
<me4ta.boom.ru>, implant java applets to the virtual game
Spectrum games to open a gallery gradiki etc. The plans for
next year - next year in Izhevsk try
organize and conduct a party.


    On this occasion, I would like all interested in this
people write to me and follow the information on this site. 
Details speak on this topic until I can not, because planned

quite a bit, and then there is, there is no need to advertise.
The most important thing - now party will not be confined to
one region. And this is important!


    On the rest of the news can get directly to the
site <http://www.pos.izhnet.ru>


                               ...


    Got its name legendary site of World of Spectrum -
http://www.worldofspectrum.org.


    Another monster - site Virtual Tr-Dos. I like it
as far as Paul Pavlov partial to 'pair of drops. "
So, while Paul Pavlov upgrade to a Duron 800, for the same 
grandmother you can already buy Athlon 1000.



    Many new programs: editor
making sprites Spriter v1.05 + Compiler v1.03 by Studio.
Yet found a domestic toy 'on the entire disk' - Marrow
in the World of Wisdom interesting fact.


    Every day more and more I wonder Belarus to ZX
publication - a newspaper Body. According to those same 
colleagues to Minsk, it More and more meaningful degenerates. 
Although they constantly keep the brand and the moral 
corruption, in my opinion, says little. Jolly Fellows - Belarus!



    After Paul Pavlov upgrade to the Duron 800 and
decided to run the emulator RealSpectrum in the most extreme
Video Mode - 50Hz + VSync ON. And to my amazement, he saw
that his machine is clearly not pulling this ruleza for speed!
Launched to test Satisfaction megademo, where there are many
horizontal to scroll. Moreover, the use of emulsions under 
spetsversiyu AMD percent (supposedly 10 percent increase in 
speed should be).



      [Ed. I especially liked this quote here]


    It's, you know, through what the authors wrote their ass 
emulsion?! I know C, but still ... mAst die! Heh heh ... It 
seems that machine for this to be faster than 1GHz!



    Virtual Tr Dos except to mention became svezhezakachennogo 
software more attractive a brief comment to the programs.

For example, the statement sounded fair enough to address
Publishers SE # 3, who allowed themselves to some of the 
negative statements to the Russian scene, calling it

fascist.


    I also remains our Western friends to wish all the same
not teach Russian, and Spanish or Chinese language, as in
estimates of the U.S. in the next few years in the United
States will need to enter a second and then a third Official
language as native speakers of English begin to displace
more prevalent on the American continent of languages.
Latinos occupied almost everything. Close to Europe ...


    All fascist on linguistic grounds nations should
Recall that any UN member country has the right to speak on any
of the seven official languages ​​of the organization and the 
Russian language in Seven did not last on the spot. Therefore, 
all his grimaces in address the Russian language can leave for 
lascenemagazinos. 


    As for the overall assessment of SE # 3, I liked it!
One can understand the scenery, when they find themselves in 
such a menshenstve unfair, because in all of Western Europe is

virtually the only stsenovy Spectrum magazine, and
so they too need to some extent to maintain morale, at least 
once every five years. 


    Scenery, perhaps a little sausage Spectrum scene, so
they are from a lack of information begin to seek solace his
imperishable souls on the scene commodore 64, why upgrade to
scenergy.natm.ru sometimes relate only to him, and it is not 
clear - it Spectrum portal or kommodorsky? And, I know, it's 
stsenovy portal, so - what I see - about that and tell. 
Commendable! Everything on the c64 read Scenergy!



    That would be great if Commodore at least someone
wrote about the Spectrum scene, and the computer yet
deserves to be paid attention to it.


    Group X-Team (sokraschennoe name, probably, x7m???)
very cool reacted to the report of ASCii'2001 demoparty in
Izhevsk, which was published in Insanity # 09. Therefore, the 
crack and reel went now in the camp of the group, resulting in

public has been revealed yet another demoparty, where the reins
Board will belong only to X-Team, and the Power of Sound Web
Team with his stunt Enforce'2002 will sit on the sidelines,
rather to conduct a separate party. And that's interesting - 
where the X-Team and by what means will be taken to hold 
regular or extraordinary tusnyu, so even without the 
participation of PoS-Wt? Answer: only at home! 


                              <...>


    Came from the army Darkmax / RS, began writing a new version
of the player Hyperion, their suggestions can be sent to
pawel@nm.ru.


    The group began work on a new space strategy,
working title - Empire. Analogues on the ZX-Spectrum is not the 
game is a cross between PC'shnyh Galaxy, Master of Orion,

Imperium Gallactica 2!


    For the past four months as Cyberex / RS is developing
economic part, the timing of exit too early to speak.
I'm sure many are skeptical of such
statements and various demo games and they are right in 
principle, in recent years have been abandoned a large number of

promising projects in the ZX, but I can assure you that the
spelling games we took very seriously and we have no habits
leave unfinished projects.



    The authors do not always be calculated as to earn a lot of 
money on ZX is impossible, and yet the game is likely to be

spread on a commercial basis.


    Work continues on Real Commander 2.0, was released
completely workable version of which was sent to all
coders wishing to participate in the development of modules. 
Already written detailed documentation on the procedures and 
system variable RC, came the version in the nation.



    Imperio / PHG continues work on conversion to the Speccy 
games Another World, apparently intent he is quite serious and

he's not going to throw.


    Work will be huge, in AW lot of graphics and animation,
Therefore, we seek artists who have experience editing 
konverchennyh images and sprites, write to the address Fido: 
2:454 / 7.120, Pavel Demchuk.



    In the course of a game theme.


    Press once is not actively began to untwist the game
PUSSY, and even after there was a full version with all
bug-fix, about her little man said aloud. It should be noted 
the high level crack release. Nothing of the kind I personally 
over the last three had not seen before. Work is on a par with 
such masterpieces crack scene as a UFO-2 on one disc, and 
Mortal Kombat in the native tr-dos. According Madix ^ PHT, the 
whole game is repacked into one standard tr-dos drive and 
nothing else, but WinRar'om, extractor which is written by some 
Simm'om (not to be confused with Sinn ^ Delirium Tremens).



    One year ago, AIG was trying to demonstrate the 
achievements of unrar, but in a full unpacking of archives in 
the manner he pkunzip not to become. Will there be a full unrar 
this time? Show As always time.



    On a personal note (Survivor) I want to say: on
today's Speccy almost died cracking scene. Sorry!
Need a dose of adrenaline! Cracking scene I have always been 
something fascinated, perhaps, its mystery. If someone wants to

share their own development in the disk and other
Data Protection for Speccy, learn about problem solving
adapting software from Odiham filesystems other way
conversion of toys and artificial intelligence in xor'kah and
just to share experiences and learn a variety of
information that is Cracking Scene on the Spectrum is
Is it viruses, you can prepare for the bomb!

    It is worth noting that in recent times appears a little
Krakow-quality releases, while the number of curves
versions of various programs is huge. Need to revive the crack
groups, and are just saying do what it was fashionable
several years ago. The Internet is full of game programs, which
not even been adapted to the Tr-Dos! And they say that 
everything is finished ...

     Further, this is what told RNS:


    '... We live in little by little in the Ukraine, vegetate. 
Ekonoicheskaya environment-garbage! Kuchma asshole, finally can 
Nitsche no sense. And finally can ofonareli policy. Well, so 
izhvem until, well, make sho? A Speccy we do not yet live, we 
finally can a small town, but spekkerov 16 people there. I 
think that our city is and much more. And in the cities people 
are. We and group even exists, and I did an organizer, an

    Yes, you can write, as will time. Well, it finally can not

    A few questions for Vivid ^ Brainwave of X-Project:

 ... Q - Question (question)
 ... A - Answer (answer)


    Q> Your most recent advances in demomaking'e simply tear
tower. The only thing still holding back a raging torrent of 
applause, so this lack of fix'a under other than the Pentagon 
machine, well, at least under the Scorpion?



    A> You would not believe, but the demos I wrote in my 
Scorpio. AND multicolor had fixed a Tigrr'y his Pentagon

and by telephone.


    Q> And how does bourgeois, Western Stage, calls for unity?


    A> Suppose that in this case, buying the Pentagon.


    Q> What about the Real Masters!? No one can under the fixed
Scorpion demo, but you do it! Well, or did ... But still
thank you for it thanks!


    A> It's not our failure, and in wait'ovosti scorpion.
By the way, scorpion fish are different: the length of the line 
224 clocks and length of line 232 clocks. So, Real Masters 
demos fixed under 224 clock Scorpion. Here for fixing just not 
enough use nechetnotaktovye command and change the delay for

crossing the upper boarder. They also liked the port # fd, 
although and use it to mask # 40. In this case, not 
skorpionschiki grazing, but grazing owners Pentagon 512/1024.



    Saw Mega Tetris 2000. So he does not want to work on
Pentagon 512. Already the third millennium, and problems are 
the same as in time for every Vasilyev Anton'ov, Laptev Soft'ov 
etc. 


                               ...


    Timothy Lapo once advocated the creation of a single
Spectrum Publication, providing a solid place in its
zagnuvshihsya pages for different magazines, and
sedentary local newspapers for their news columns.


    According to him it would be a serious magazine: "At the 
same time, we can would draw material from zagnuvshihsya 
journals (ZF, I think, would give excellent material from the 
ninth issue (NDP, my record on FT98 Unfortunately, this 
contradicts the main idea gazetomeykerov self-assertion. 
Therefore, it too will pass. " 


    It is true, will not pass this idea, even doubt.
What can attract potential newsmaker'ov addition to traditional
cans of air and e-popularity?


    No publication has raved thought to be the most
informative. And it's all very nice, but a simple desire to
willingness to give korrespondetam from various corners
stsenovoy most countries are not enough. And not just because
unwind in the whole country is unrealistic, but also because
superficial reasons - to spend a lot of time on the dubious
not everyone can share.


    One journal at all will not pull! This is a utopia. Scenergy
died either from information overload, whether from a lack of
positive emotion, although it did not the whole scene.


    For a new Global publication, as expressed Quazar ^ Rush,
he would be willing to sacrifice "Polesie", provided
health and vitality of the latter: "Such attempts at
recently undertaken a lot, but they did not find
support among stakeholders. " That is just the whole thing, 
that for apparent simplicity to implement an advocacy project 
is not one month of parental anguish. By the way, Flying two 
years spent on writing shell Scenergy. Two years later he came 
out ... Two years have to wait for the next number?



    And who can guarantee that, after Quazar 'score' on
its own newspaper as part of a new monster, it will be the same
prolific?


                              ...


    Speaking of the press. Firm 'Inforkom' is still
exist, but under another guise - OOO 'Tricks Ltd.'.
It is located in the same place before - the post office,
that on Novy Arbat in Moscow. And the postal address it the same
most. Changed only sphere of activity - production of books on
games for game consoles, sending a CD for Sony Playstation.
Interestingly, deposits ZX-Review they still have?


                              ...
