  Esche hello again! The editorial office has authorized me to 
conduct a new section that I in fact, begin to do so. But then 
came several pressing issues: Firstly, I could not think of 
that yet- name for it, and secondly, I do not know

whether it is necessary at all (?!!). To these two questions 
have to answer me, you, dear readers. And therefore, to make it 
more interesting, I want to announce a new contest which is 
this: you need only choose a name for this column. A prize will 
be a 4 disc game programs of your choice from my collection 
(300 discs). So that, I think the choice is (and bad). 
Therefore, take his head in his hands and probably invent a 
name and then you overtake someone and you imagine this vzhist 
not forgive (Joke). So write, call,

act!

  Speaking of contests. Competition pictures all
still ongoing, and therefore, gentlemen
GFX'meykery, move on, the prize is still on
stake. So do not sit and wait for manna
heaven, and holding it in the hands of the keyboard
(Mouse) and forward, with the song. "

  In the bent, as many as the most wanted to show off. Anyway, 
back to our 'sheep'. In this column, I'll tell you are about to 
receive a new soft'a Lviv Market programs for the 
Spectrum-compatible computers. I'll try, of course also cover 
all new items, but this is again depends on your feedback, dear 
readers. 

  To begin with, perhaps, just give a list of software, kotoroe 
poyavilos recently Time:



  1. X - REVERSY

  2. ZX - FORMAT 7

  3. THE LAST COURIER

  4. THE MISSION


  This is a list of great software products, there are of 
course, as usual, a lot of "Restorennyh" toys, but their lists 
are large and easy viewing of such lists are usually just 
tired, so I decided to the first time they did not write, and 
if they Still you need, then please report it to

editors.

  But now I'm a little talk about this
SOFT'e.

  X - REVERSY represents a another game of her similar 
"reverse", but it features some very handy utility functions as 
well as beautiful pictures after passing through each stage. 
For customer service features include a game over a modem, 
which in my opinion it is very convenient (for you have a 
modem, of course). Also during the the game is very convenient 
to include a display variations, and even pictures tricolor

After mileage level leaves a good
impression.

  ZX - FORMAT 7, I must comment
I will not, except to say that I was not disappointed in this 
issue. Although he is on one disc, useful information and 
excellent application it is not diminished. 

  Playing THE LAST COURIER represents
a cross between PRINCE OF PERSIA
and NAVY SEALS PART ONE. Game scenario I
recalled the movie "Johnny Mnemonic" and I spent many hours, 
solving puzzles ten mazes of this game. By the way, the game 
included a level editor, and therefore soon, if anything I did 
not hurt, will announced a new competition for the best rate to 
the this game.


  THE MISSION of the game can only say
one thing: this is another attempt to make DOOM
Spectrum. The script is very good and even
I personally liked it. Unfortunately,
the game is buggy on MIKOBEST'e and for this reason that I went 
through only the first level. But I 've heard good reviews 
about it from our players, which proved once again the simple 
truth - how many people, so many opinions. 

  Well, today, perhaps, everything.

  Till we meet again in the pages of PCP.


                              Sincerely,

                                   Walker,

                           Mikhail Kazakov.
