   "The most significant event was, perhaps, the conference
ENLIGHT'96, held August 24-25 in St. Petersburg. For the first 
time She was brought to Section ZX-SPECTRUM, which brought 
together most of the best programmers of the CIS countries, and

say that in the "Music" section with a huge win our permanent

(Kharkov) program code-named Citadel. This game is an analogue

famous game DOOM (on other platforms), uses a three-dimensional 
graphics, and produces the impression that watch it 
demonstration on ENLIGHT'96 gathered a huge backlog. In this 
case, IBM'schiki left their section to the queue to get up. We

the author concluded an agreement that once the program
is ready, it will be ours, and hence your domain.

   Along with the regular party floppy UFO-2, we received a 
handout B. Mednonogova. Here's what he wrote: "We are glad to 
announce that work has begun on the project" UFO-3. Black Crow. 
" The game will be sold the most up to date

   At this time, according to the developed plot, you will be

origins of the war with aliens. Additionally provides for the 
possibility of fighting on the side of the enemy. "


   Knowing the author in his previous works, we can be sure
that their promises, he met and exceeded.

   Once again recently intensified suspended

that the authors were able to solve some difficult staffing
