  Here I want to tell you about
another wonderful toy
recently zarelizennoy us, ie,
Eye-Q team.

  I think all know the film
"Aliens", also knows the game
for the Speccy, made on the story
this film. I have personally seen two
Games created by plot
the aforementioned movie: one of
They had made firm
Electric Dreams, the authors of the other
I, unfortunately, are unknown.
Game of the ED represents a
a set of minigames and disgusting
maloigrabelna. The second game
(Hell knows whose) is
action of a first-person
pretty good on the Spectrum's standards.

  But all this is so, note.
We have found the game in the first film about someone else, no 
mention of which we have not seen nor met

the game itself. This game is very
unusual, it is of
a realtime-strategy. Probably this is the first realtime 
strategy for Speccy (1984). 

  We have restored this toy from
snapshot'a, packed, etc.
it can be found in the appendix.
Interesting and the story itself restoringa this game. Found it 
on their CD-ROM with Speccy-software

angry Nuts, and, naturally,
immediately dragged her to me. After processing, some dumb 
PTsshnym snapshot'ov converter, game

evolved from a terrible packaged. z80 in a pile no less creepy
files that this caring
converter supplied the TR-DOS loader, which, incidentally, 
worked absolutely wrong. Soon as they take on the STS and 
somehow run these files without going through

loader, we suddenly Nuts'om
were in the dark. Light bulb still trying to burn, but the 
component is clearly not enough voltage, forcing conventional 
lamps burn in 1 / 8 filament. Pretty scary situation, quickly

reminded me of the movie itself, the
which was done playing,
which we have just raised their
sinful hands. It turned out that
outside the wind rose and broke
tree, which in turn
cut short all the wires that supply
my house with electricity. After three (!) Days of wire was 
repaired, there would be me and do restoringom, but here too 
soon begins to fail and complex work again becomes impossible.

Such troubles are constantly
pursued this release: zaparyvalis discs buggy ModernWorD,
destroying the original translation
regulations made for two
sleepless nights, but if you read this text, it means work
yet finished!

  Below is the text, representing a sort of cross between
transfer of proprietary instructions and
my own views,
open my nuances of the game.
Branded User ALIEN, like the description of the great ELITE,
silent on some important
things I've tried to fix
it, describing everything that was found by me in the process 
and restoringa beta.


  Prior to the description of the game
want to thank
Nuts'u, who found this toy and
Time Keeper'u / MHCG, provide a place in a magazine for my
effusions.

You can follow the movements of the crew. Any level vehicle may 
be selected to view the menu. You can

also find the path to the desired
room through the ventilation
system, which can penetrate
any crew member by removing the ventilation grill in any room

  How to survive:


  Using the corridors, spend
my team at all levels of the ship, starting from the top (Alien 
always starts activity from the lower level)

Gather items that you
find it useful in combating
Stranger. Check the condition of
ducts - if
what any of them removed, then
Someone else may have already been
here, unless you yourself
removed this grid. Characteristic
the sound of opening doors indicate
you that the stranger was not
dryhnet in the hold, and are actively moving around the ship in 
search of another victim. Characters move independently, giving

command, do not wait for it
performance, and quickly go
to the next task. Remember that
oxygen supply on board is not
limitless TOOH indicator shows the quantity, and it
will decrease rapidly.
Try to quickly take the cat box (he was in the laboratory
average) and catch the cat,
that will allow you to leave the ship on the shuttle, if you 
have not more than three people. From extra crew members can

get rid of the inhumane, but reliable way - make them
one of two gateways ship (to
upper level) and lower in
open space by opening the gateway. Try to include a system of 
self-destruction. Presence of a stranger in the shuttle at the 
time of shipment is highly undesirable. Carefully read Post 
Mother, they have a lot of useful information. The mother will 
stop you to report if damage to the premises Computer

be sufficiently serious.
Beware of fire, do not hesitate to
their quenching, it is fraught with serious damage to the ship. 
As Once you start moving, Alien will feel it, be careful. Most 
often attacked by Alien for singles, consider this. Scurry

Cat Jones - a sure sign
approximation of a stranger. You can
penetrate into the ventilation system,
to find the shortest path from
one room to another, but
it should be done quickly: a man will begin claustrophobia,
In addition, the ventilation
Mine is much more difficult to confront someone else. The 
presence of dead in a room where one of

team members, greatly reduces the
the moral level. Neutralized stranger people often
can still be saved if quick
get to the place of event,
use it. In the critical
situation, people may wrongly
take your orders, try to avoid it.

  This game - one of the first games
with personalization of characters, possibly the first game
Speccy, which can be called
realtime-strategy. It is far
ahead of its time, which gave
Speccy, mainly Platform
game. Another feature of the game
is that it _deystvitelno_zhutkaya_. Do not play this
game night, "when the forces of evil
dominate unchallenged. "In the dark you can not manage to see
