                  See a UFO and die!


                          (Unknown

                               akvatoid)


     Usually it happens that the continuation is always worse 
than the original, but it denied the new development 
Mednonogova, extending his series. Playing "UFO 2: Devils of 
the Abyss" made after the famous game company

MICROPROSE "XCOM: TERROR FROM THE DEEP".
When I first sat down to read the instructions
to this game, I thought that I read
operating instructions for the bomber, so it was complicated 
and confusing. However, then over time I figured out the 
various buttons, indie Katori / By the way, it is best to play

color monitor or TV, because
Indicators are not the same color / and inscriptions. In 
general, the whole game boils down to, so when she turns vooon 
fintiflyushechka playing clicked on that bobyshechku, pulled 
for the figovinki and bounced away so as not to shvarknulo, 
although not all so simple. And now the main, that is

directly on the game itself. The game exceeds all possible 
limits of quality, quickness and great professionalism, and

so much more that I forgot, but it
still superior.

     Briefly about the purpose of:

     So, all started a long time ago back in
game, "UFO: ENEMY UNKNOWN" / or in Russian
"UFO: ENEMY UNKNOWN", where you thought you killed all 
inopriletyan and that you're a good guy. Although, as you

Remember, the computer inopriletyan something
bulknul, but do you not pay attention to the euphoria of 
victory, but in vain. So, Che after a few years it became clear 
that gurgled something he is doing and managed to activate last 
reserve of the Empire, which is located under water on Earth. 

     They are something you have to deal.

     Management:

     All possible and impossible, except for the key user tasks
/ REDEFINE KEYS /.

     Hardware requirements:

     Requires a machine with less memory, no
128 KB with a TR-DOS version is not lower than 5.03,
5.4 *.

     General impression:

     Let's just say the program is much more complex, although 
it is within human understanding. But at first very greatly 
helped the well-written description of this game. Very 
complicated strategic part of the game, there was an arcade Box 
is also very decent quality in style, a la "ELITE", where you 
still have to work hard, knocking the enemy vessel, which 

By the way, is not so easy to do. Honestly
I confess that I knocked down only when cleaned
reduction self-energy vehicle.
But nothing of the strategic part of the game must be
to tell apart, as it deserves
this. Surely you have played or at least
would have seen "UFOs: ENEMY UNKNOWN", where you
after being shot down inopriletny ship, fell directly on the
battlefield, where he fought against the insidious 
inopriletyanami. So, in "UFO 2: Devils abyss, "you've run a 
whole group of fearless fighters, and sitting in silence and

tranquility of his home, watching
contractions at the bottom of the oceans. Changed and the 
business concept in the game. Now You can sell anything, even

including native and painfully familiar surfboard, that is to 
say fighter artful dishes. At the same time, humanity is freed 
from the last vestiges of conscience and no longer

does not release you, even those crumbs, wherewith you eat. And 
there shall come into force 

the brutal laws of business. That is, if you
do not pay all the bills for the month, then you
it is not unfortunate, will be closed. Especially
affects much overgrown encyclopedia
ufologist. Study one topic leads
to disclose the other two studied
Themes opens the subject, seemingly unrelated. However, it is 
not, and consistent investigation leads to a specific, 
programmed creator outcome. Do not change a partition entries, 
but changed topics in them. For example, the aliens are now 
divided not only by species but also on the specialization (for 
example, a study akvatoidamedika gave me the knowledge of new 
species of aliens - biorobot - "daypon and helped I upgrade my 
hardware, and continue to deal with them easily).

A number of different types akvaplanov aliens, different 
weapons, sophisticated instruments and apparatus, the types of 
insidious inopriletyan etc. That is, this 

Encyclopedia characterized by huge
mass of socially useful information.
Also changed, as described above, the personnel of your 
vehicle. Now he represents a team of 7 persons, each of which 
is characterized by several factors, such as:

morale, energy, speed, number of injuries and much more. As
manifestations of a soldier in battle, he will be
assigned rank. First, it will
private, then corporal, then sergeant, lieutenant, captain, 
etc. etc. In keeping with its title will also be

increase utility rates. He can
continue to walk, shoot more often, easier to endure forced 
marches, the more wear items. 

     In the study, a new item "View Possible topics", then
is directly in the research process may overlook the themes 
that might appeared during this time. In the menu "makes

proof "the opportunity to make a product with numerous parties, 
by the way, manufactured products can also be sold. Pleasantly 
surprised by the item "Configuration", where everyone can tune 
game under their own individual taste. Moreover,

computer when unloading the disk will remember
initial configuration, and in the future will continue, after 
reading the state with drive to save the regime that you

configured. In addition, when recording the state of the disk, 
the game does not reset, as was done in the "UFO 1, and 
continues continue their dirty work.


     In general, the game makes a terrific
impression, and fans of the programs ponavorochenee it will 
just taste. I do not know, but I have tried briefly to bring 
you all the immensity of this game. AND even if you at least 
can easily interested in this amazing program, I I will assume 
that the pains are not in vain. K Tragically, at the moment (and


it is the end of June 1996) in our city do not have good, 
high-quality version this game, but there are only un buggy 
like this program, with lots of mistakes (such as: february 
forever, a few screw up landscapes, spoiled half Encyclopedia 
ufologist (everything below the item "Type UFO" including him, 
can not be read). It would seem so little, but that was enough 
to lubricate the distinct impression of a brilliant and 
addictive game. But I hope that after all, someday, years, 
commercials in 20-25, I still see the full working version of 
this miracle, and even then I can die peacefully with a light 
heart and soothing the soul.



   P.S. For lovers of eternal life: a few cells, which help in 
the process game. By the way, how to embed - it is

your problem; true for owners

           (C) MOONSOFT 1996


     Well, there it is! What was I, yeah
all about the same, the DEMO version of Russia's new play "Time 
Patrol", which is the sister of the famous game mladshey "Star 
Heritage Group STEP. By the way, these sisters obviously twins, 
although this came much later, "Heritage." Rejoice, fans of 
Russian adventyur and fans of "Star Legacy," for you to come to 
a new star and this star - PATROL TIME (or, from England - 
"TIME COP"). Completely similar interfaces for these two

advocates of capitalist enrichment unclean ways. Then there are

you'll have the most skillful and most of the blood, to make 
your journey ... And, moreover, in solitude, and even

initially adhere to the theory of nudists
because you will not have even a sword, Kojima may be
was to cover an interesting place??
(Incidentally, the editor in chief of this place is clearly
Cut, so no one will know the end of this long sentence.)

     Tie (podsolka, tint, of bedding)
this story is:

     Long ago, in tridesyatom kingdom
Japanese state lived the emperor.
Here! But the power he had, as most
strongest in the country at the time, was a clan
Taira. Therefore, the emperor controlled the
the head of the clan - Kiyomori Taira (by the way
Emperor Takakura name). And cut
he had all of its competitors.



     Meanwhile, in the future (is not it
Do sounds silly?), some bad
man - Michael Tornado decided to have fun,
siganul and he did not go somewhere, and in the past.
Namely, in 1169 (well, just to fix the financial affairs after 
a binge in ancient Egypt). But the guys from the "Commission

Guard Time "(Abbreviation -" TEC ") decided to stop him have a 
good time and sent his best agent
