(C) Stinger

S) - When you first came on the Speccy?
M) - in 1992.
S) - Explain in detail how it happened.
M) - Well ... In 1992 I bought a computer "Santaka-002. I had a 
tape recorder, and connecting it to "Santuck" I rulilsya with 
toys such as Exolon and International Karate. Then in 1993 I 
bought "Scorpion ZS 256K "and is still working on it.

S) - When you first started to code?
M) - oh-oh-oh ... Difficult question. In fact, I
engaged in code because of the fact that in 1993
Lord Alexander Dianin on radio market
sell new programs in a secure way. I could not copy the 
nichrome. I just infuriates when something is not copied, and

In 1993 I started trying to break Dianinovskie protection. With 
protection, in principle, I learned to encode.

S) - if you were standing in the market?
M) - Yes. As soon as I bought myself
"Scorpion", then stasis as the market climbed
(More precisely: we got out - me and my friend Nick
Kozhevnikov).
S) - What was your first serious work on the Spectrum?
M) - Hmmm ... I do not know what to say. That
can be called serious work? UFO-2
Star Heritage - yes, this is serious work. Nothing of the sort 
I have not Speccy did, although at the Ars momeny I write

very cool RPG-toy named
Heroes of Might and Magic. In Minsk seen
Our harvesting and everybody liked. It
there are bells and whistles, such as automatic choice for the 
hero of the course, ie, you poke your cursor in the map, and 
the computer calculates the best course on the position of 
hero, and before places where the cursor was, and

noted for its beautiful arrows. Although
Okay, about the Heroes' s I unharness
until tomorrow, I will not deviate from the topic, I will answer
directly: is really serious work on
Speccy I did.
S) - So you're saying that for the period 1993-1996 have you 
been doing just hacking? M) - Yes. I did transfer cluster

versions on the disk, and burglary of different defenses. Well
made a couple sistemok, but basically, the different
antiprotekty. Tried to write a game Putup
(Similar to a computer "Vector 06C), but I
ruined by drunk drive with the source and the game did not come 
out. S) - Okay. You speak and write more like

music. When you discover a talent
MusicMaker'a?
M) - Are you that music - that's my weakness. At 5
years, I went to music school, but studied there a year, I very 
seriously told his parents that a musician does not shall, 
after which they took me out of there. I'm very sorry that I 
left music school - yet perfect pitch could become a 
professional musician, and became MusicMaker'om at Speccy. His 
first Mouzon on Spectrum'e I wrote to the editor

ASM. It was music from the game "Billiards" on
the prefix "Dandy". Then came
Pro-Tracker and all of its Mouzon I began to write only in it. 
First, a golimost terrible, its disgusting to me now

listen, but lately I've been writing music
like as well. Basically I am now
write a rave, do not want to be like Doc'u, who writes a pop.
S) - At the expense of JPHG - to whom and when it came to
idea to create this group?
M) - Let's start from the beginning. It was a hot summer
1995. We were standing in the market and out of boredom
sipping beer. Doc sunbathing half-naked under
its sheet (amended: Sheets
the jargon Trader'ov denotes sign
TR-DOS and advertising for new games) and waiting for 
customers. Somewhere in the middle of the day came to us the 
buyer and the company offered a cassette with games for the ZX. 
What happened! From under land immediately appeared Igor (Doc) 
and began say that all these programs should be sent to Moscow 
to Isayev, although the buyer only offered to them, and 
especially not to him but us. In general, the bazaar is over 
the fact that We were five cassettes with brand

GABA. After the market I immediately went to
Alex'u Nikiforov'u show all this wealth. Then he gathered me 
(I, Nikiforov and Nick (Nikolay Kozhevnikov, he also 
NickSoft)), we started thinking about creating their group. The 
name of the proposed Kohl - JURASSIC PARK HACKERS GROUP. That's 
our group had appeared.

S) - and what was the debut of this group?
M) - Naturally, alterations to the disk with branded 
cartridges. We have released toys: Captain America and Doctor 
Megalomann, Bravestarr, World Class Leaderboard,

Defender of the Crown, Solomon's key, wanted to remake the game 
Conman the Barbaric, but it was such a wretched demo version 
that we decided not to touch it.

S) - The traditional question-what kind of computer platforms 
do you prefer? M) - I still do Speccy, but in the future

going to buy Amig'u. For IBM, I am
a negative least because: Amiga 600:
7 Mhz, 2Mb RAM works better than 486DX2/80 4Mb.Mne really do 
not like any glitches at IBM. I remember we played

any race, so that their normally needed to run 1:00, and still 
she rubbish, twitching! At this Amig'e not -

there was nothing twitches, everything moves
very gently to start the game, do not
her hour to install. A demuhi! Looking
demos on Amig'e and IBM, I made the appropriate findings and 
tell you that IBM is shit. S) - What do you wish to users

Speccy?
M) - that all users upgrade their
level, become programmers and makes a sharp program.
