   Black Raven, Copper Feet 1997


 The game is a real-time strategy.
Upon closer examination it becomes clear that the basis was
taken PC 'shny WarCraft. Creator of games (Vyacheslav 
Mednonogov) after the release of UFO and UFO 2, released Black 
Crow. Again, as the previous two, the game becomes a hit. At 
this time you need to save the Russian people from the brutal 
military truck. However, novel to the game you can read in the 
ZX-FORMAT # 5, and the second can play a demo version.


    The game includes everything promised by the author, except 
to support music cards General Sound. Although it is very few 
people very worried, as this device is not at all.


    16 levels for men and 16 for kung will not give you
quiet sleep did not smash his head on the next level.
Even born gamers spend their days at the same level.

    For starters, the problem will begin on 3-ev level in
 people, well, first for military truck. . .
In the ZX-FORMAT # 8 can not only read the instructions
passing game for Kung, but also the history of the game,
written by the author.

    Between levels you are waiting for color images, drawn from
hands. The presence of music makes the game much more 
comfortable than previous UFO UFO 2. At any point in the game 
can be save the state at the Tr-Dos disk. Special mention 
should be said about sound effects: the sound of axes, swords 
and bows subsides on distance. For full oceanology WarCraft 'in 
missing voice effects, but it is also clear memory is not 
rubber! 

    Speaking of memory, minimum configuration:
ZX 128 Kb, 3.5MGts, FDD 5.25 ", preferably Kempston mouse
The game has 2 discs. The disc label that would
do not confuse them. When buying a first read the instructions
Key (3), do not forget to watch the entrance and the 12-minute 
video (key 1). Obkleyte transparent tape stickers drives that 
have lived longer. Now for the game. . .  Buy, do not regret 
it! Price is the price list. 


  MIRROR, ArtWork, Donetsk 1998

    Game in the style of Star heritage. Lord Black wants
to seize power over the world, only you, the Guardian,
you can stop him. Because only you know the secret mirror
the source of all this mess. Goblins and trolls will not let you
easy win, they think for you to sit torment
staring at the monitor. Of course, because they do not know 
that the images half the screen, dynamic insertion, the music 
and delivery and unloading at any time make the game not so 
boring. Constant puzzle just make press RESET

tugodumnogo player. In short, the game is to please fans of the
genre.

  For particularly interested Give that description passage 
described in DEJA VU # 7. 

  The game takes up the entire drive to the resources of the 
machine is not picky. 

 MONSTER LAND, RAGE 1998

    The game reminds Laser Squad, and starry heritage.
 Screen on top, all the graphics perfectly legible and well
painted. Opening intro introduce the ropes. Calm
music. The game once again need your skills to defeat
enemies. Do not let me down! ! !


 STALKER, Kharkov 1997

    Hodilka-sobiralka, very similar to the previous, but 
significantly more subjects and functions. You Marauder, in 
full spyware vsevooruzhenii, one goal - to slip away from here.

 The game will please fans of reach of all its
head.
