          Review of game demos


     Yes, 1999 was a year of recovery, and
the first half 2000'go there has been some stagnation. Walk 
project mentioned in the previous (it was a year ago) Review: 
Black Raven 2 - Glory auuuu! Awaken - vanished, they say. Pussy

- Lost in the wilds GameBoy 'I said. Mist -
not a rumor - not the spirit. Full Shit globally
remade (engine), the schedule has become a color, but recently 
demon is not kodit ...


     Now for the good: finally released
Crime Santa Claus: Deja Vu - joyfully
praiseworthy; announced in the previous
Japan Crossword survey was made, but
another team (see review game), also
was released on CD with Smagly anthology, which includes Smagly 
3. Okay, now for the svezhaku (?). 


             Jackals Demo v0.0


          Who did not know, so

               that zvinyayte.


     Thoughts on the RTS did not leave the minds of our
geymeykerov, CV certainly cool, but you need
try to make even steeper. Thus emerged two pretenders to the 
vacant throne: Operation Oil (I hope you all have seen this

demo version) and Jackals.

     What can we say about the latter?

     1) Enlarged sprites - visually
looks better, but poorly drawn, because of this game window 
size (ie, site maps, finds himself in the window) became 
smaller. 

     2) The map is huge, but this effect
largely created because of the increased size of sprites.

     3) Map of local concern.

     4) Manage your (CV, in my opinion,
became the standard).

     The demo is impossible to store resources and
build buildings, but may join
fight with enemy troops, though
the enemy is still very dull.

     Well, crap a good beginning ...
I hope the authors are not touchy (unless of course they read 
this shit) and will take note of the above items, although I 
have not hope to see someday complete

version of the global toys.



      TOP GEAR (Crazy Cars 3) V 0.001


             by AKM/U99


     That's all slap rolevuhi, quests,
logic, in extreme cases, shooters, and
it - race. At first glance, good,
smooth like that, but something napaminayut Wec
Le Mans - probably the graphics (like from there, unnecessarily 
author, as he himself admits - not artist).


     In the demo version of course no rivals, the car in 
nothing cuts, the transfer did not switch, but what has already 
is encouraging. In my dreams I have drawn a new Chase HQ ... 
That would also machine jumped on the potholes ...



             DARKWING DUCK


           code by AKM/U99

       gfx conversion by KRAK/U99


     It seems that in Omsk live fruitful geymmeykery - in 
parallel with TG, AKM makes the conversion from Dendy - black 
cloak. By analogy with the TG is present here only the movement 
of the hero on the map (large) and the complete absence of 
enemies. Movement PE until glyukovatoe - when jumping on 
buildings he always somewhere fails, but this is easily 
fixable. Hopefully, it is worth wait for the kids fun.




                 Project X


           by Laser Dreams 1998


     Demo version of this igruhi you could
already seen, but I decided to insert it into the survey in 
anticipation of release the full version. For those who have 
not seen DeMouy Project X, in Briefly remind you - this 
monoxide shooter which consists of two types of gameplay.

The first - something like Eagles Nest, and the second - 
downhole space shooter with side view.


     According to our data was ready igruha
More in 98'm year, but due to problems with the final 
fine-tuning and the setting of protection She propylilas two 
years. Likely commercial distribution of PX will be

CC'000.



     Here Kostya wrote me another demo igruhi ROBO, but in my 
opinion, it is our been hanging out for over a year and write 
about it does not make sense - perhaps a project dead.


     Well, like demos no longer there.
