  From Compo Studio issued a CD with the new
levels for the Black Crow. On the other
games, see below.



                THE CEZAR


                (C) Action

Length: 1215 sectors


  The prototype of this game is likely to become
the well-known program Sim City.
This is evident from the built-in program and not
very informative by the example of some comparisons. For 
example Cezar'ovskaya Shovel Sim'ovskim compared with a 
bulldozer. The Cezar However, unlike the prototype brings the 
player into the ancient world. Game is divided into missions. 
In addition to construction activities and address issues of 
supply growing population with bread and circuses

You can engage in trade, to buy the necessary raw materials and 
sell surplus products and manufactured goods. 

  The game should be written from the beginning of the disc. In 
addition, non-essential lack of in the few texts of the program 
contains a huge amount of errors. 



                   -

                 8-DEPARTMENT


               (C) Action

Length: drive


  Another game of the Action. At this time the game is 
reminiscent of the demo Paradise Lost, The same view from 
above, the same room and aisles ... But the level of program 
performance on lower. Black and white playing field so

do not add the program plus, and on top of all errors in the 
texts. But still not spoiled by the recent new

games users Speccy, imho, is not deprived of their attention 
and this game. 

  The gameplay, as well as provisions for Games
this genre is split into missions. After you complete the next 
mission is given a password and a new job. The player acts as

FBI agent Larry named Hairy, who is trying to free hostages 
seized by terrorists on klikuhe Doctor-X. 


                   -

                CLICKMANIA


           (C) Optical Brothers

Length: 350 sectors


  Logical game of Minsk. The guys from
O.B. done their best. It would seem
what else you can think of logical games on Speccy after Tetris 
and Color balls? It turns out you can, if not come up with an 
original idea of ​​the game, then borrow it, for example, on a 
PC. 

  Goal of the game - to clear the field and score on
maximum points in order to perpetuate its
name in the table of scores in the top row.
In addition, under the colored squares
lies one of the beautiful drawing
images. In the game there is Setup, where you can adjust the 
settings for yourself. In the general game is colorful and 
interesting. 



                   -

                4X4 PUZZLE


       (C) Clevers Group / Triumph

Length: 454 sectors


  Another puzzle game. In this game
You need to add color balls, but this
not just another Color Lines, rather a game vaguely reminiscent 
pyatnashki. After a successful raspihivaniya right balls in the 
corners shows color Painting.

It seems logical game switched to a new
stage of its development and now the lure
Players are not scanned porn picture and
jammed into holes meaning of the game, but the original idea 
and a nice draw pictures. 

  To solve the puzzle is given a certain time, which is more 
than enough if you remember a few standard options for 
rearranging balls. 


                   -

                  XIXIT +


            (C) Real Software

Length: 236 sectors


  This puzzle game is more dynamic in
Unlike the two previous ones because the time for the next 
action the player allocated quite a bit - until the figure 
reaches bottom of the cup ... No it is not just another tetris, 
this game - one of its varieties. All figures are the same size 
and consist of three multi-colored elements. With

times STACK UP probably was not a single
normal realization of this game. This shortcoming is made up 
for the program XIXIT. Smooth motion of falling figures, big 
opportunities in settings, the opportunity to play together, 
all this certainly makes the game very attractive. The most 
interesting mode of the game alone, there you are cutting off 
the double, triple and combination of more higher about 
"growing up" his opponent. 


                   -

                TOWER POD


             (C) Studio Stall

Length: 316 sectors


  Again, logic game. At this time, you need to clear the screen 
from the chains of squares, and between the levels did not have 
to contemplate. The idea of ​​this game as well taken from the 
PC.
