 Hi! We are now you will be downloading about novya (or old?, 
As anyone). For time that elapsed between the Outputs number # 1

and of course there are many new igruh, and not entirely new. 
They appeared very many, especially many thanks to the 
Novosibirsk group, FLASH, dealing with a race with Internet'a. 
Much thanks to them!  At the beginning of the review, as usual 
about the affairs of the coolest spectrum'ovskoy country - our 
former Soviet Union. Although there ahead of the planet 
throughout. As usual, many new applications - games demos, 
playable or not. As would like to see all of them or all but

most are full versions.

  But there are some sad news
type: "Time Cop" - the full version will not be
group, making her lose interest in it. Why should it produce 
demo? By about what we may yet see a pair of

Dialogues of the Spectrum Conference FIDO: ... Valentin Kuzmin 
and Adnrew Litvinov were talking on the topic "igruha" Guess 
the melody ":  VK> In general, I would like to know

the player will guess the tune.
 AL> Apparently, it is very simple: played
Mouzon, the player presses the button, right there on the
screen display falls out with dozens of possible names. To 
think about N seconds. Got - Well, not guessed - broke some ... 
:) Vremechko when playing Mouzon too limited and depends on the 
popularity / fame itself. For example, the guessing of "small 
fur-tree cold winter will be allocated to less time than the 
"Way" of Time Machine ... Time is over - the other player / 
computer intercepted. However, and gamers may be wrong ...  VK> 
And if the music is good, and if her a lot, then why not set 
as. (I wonder how it will look V. baldness, oh sorry Pelsh.:))  
AL> Halibut assistant (sorry, Valdis Pelsh :)) Will look like 
in real life - waving his hands beautifully dressed subject 
good artist (he is coder) igruhi Vitaly Romanov / Virtual 
Brazers IMHO very cool in his craft. I, as a musician,

try to toy with perspective
sound has been executed brilliantly as possible.
Repertoire will initially consist of
Patriotic music. But if you trample specific application in a 
large number ve, then maybe will Mouzon and overseas .... 

  Well let's hope that "Guess the melody"
do not suffer the same fate "Time Cop'a" or here
"Warcraft'a":
 Sergei Novikov> PS: As with black case
go?
 B. Mednonogov> Yes go me:)) You can call the approximate time 
out - February (Read - April:).


    Big joke is that most
difficult passages are written at first by a C on the PC,
and then transferred to the AFM (handles, of course). It turns 
faster and nadezhnee. In seq. just think the whole first at IBM

cook up, and only then - move on
ZX:))

    Done a lot of things, but the play-Eibl DeMouy does not 
exist yet pulls - can only walk, but not to fight. Very 
interesting how quickly, because could theoretically

simultaneously handle 96 characters
(But actually they will be less on average
- From 15-20 on the first level to 50-60 on the
final).

    Scroll to get a quick - much
faster than NLO1 / 2, since graph is flat, and scroll all the 
time moving suspended (which did not exist before).

Vodicka animation (can be disabled, but
at the time of the withdrawal does not affect).

    Tracer route - also like
rapid, although not optimal. However, honestly looking for 
which side is better to avoid obstacles (not both of WarCraft 
G-Soft, where the decision to go left / right is taken by the 
register R: - []). In average - no more than 5000-10000 cycles. 
So how rarely invoked, the speed of the game

has no effect.

    Map invoked by pressing and
is not constantly on the screen. Maybe
This is not good, but all the objects perfectly legible - 
portrayed sprites 3x3 pixel. It is clear that because of this 
speed is not high ee updates. But for user, this will not be 
noticeable, because one map update will occur

every 4-5 game cycles.

    All buttons on the control panel are duplicated hotkeys for 
the poor mouse:) used buttons because of this - half the 
keyboard (just kidding). 

    Foes call simply kung, not orcs. <
