 Title: TECHNODROM
 Manufacturer: REAL SOFTWARE'97
 Disk version: REAL SOFTWARE
 Memory: 48/128
 Size: 475 sectors



   A fairly new game, made in Belarus. But the point is
that the word "new" can be quoted as graphics and
management is almost a copy of the game Laser Squad, and the 
plot does not shines with originality: once again capture the 
enemy's bases. Although there are significant improvements: 
conveniently implemented management can to play together or 
against the computer, Completed full Work with objects to 
collect weapons and debris for processing in the database. The 
game has a huge gaming space (Quickly it will not pass), and 
database to quickly spend their resources but as robots and 
energy, so that in addition to military action You will have to 
replenish byzy and monitor serviceability robots. In general, 
should be reserved primarily acumen and patience. In the game 
there is a detailed description of a novel and map editor, 
because of the robot is not tied to certain landscape.




 Title: SPACE CRUSADE
 Manufacturer: GREMLIN GRAPHICS '92
 Disk version: MAX IWAMOTO
 Memory: 48/128
 Size: 194 Sector



   This game appeared in Moscow in 1996 and became very
popular. There are two versions for 48 and 128 kb. In my opinion
this is the best and original strategy game for all parameters
Space Crusade has everything: a beautiful, carefully detailed,
schedule, the management is carried out and the cursor icon that
very convenient; variety protivniki.Est another feature
which increases the interest and entertainment games - it is an 
opportunity watch the fight in three dimensions, you can also 
include this effect when moving the unit. The truth in this 
mode is observed nekotoroya slowness of movements of fighters, 
so it is advisable have turbocharged the Spectrum. Each team, 
as all three of them, has its unique features (for successful 
completion missions, you will be allowed to use them all). With 
the use of weapons need to develop tactics that will destroy

maximum number of enemies. The game provides ample opportunity
"Porazmyat brains, invent new ways to successfully
battle, luring the enemy in the doorway, and then with pure
conscience of the block. With the passage of the mission is 
given the code for further continuation of the game. On the 
screen simultaneously displays the map level, which in itself 
is very comfortable (not have to climb further in the menu).




 Title: LAST BATTLE
 Manufacturer: HACKERS SQUAD '95
 Disk version: HACKERS SQUAD
 Memory: 48/128
 Size: 1173 Sector



   This is a very interesting game where you control an army,
consisting of land and sea fighting robots. Choose any
of the six planets and forth to the crash and clang of metal 
release it. Advantages of the game: Wide Range of settings; map 
of the area open as you move your troops, with a very fast

growing military power, can be very useful, convenient system
Automatic rate; a map editor. It seems to me
grossly overestimated the number of maximum number of produced
robots more difficult to keep track of all, and the computer 
starts slow down. The graphics in this game is not high enough 
to my opinion, would have looked bad picture inserts, showing

broken robot or robots are large painted with the technical
characteristics. Yet for playability nadostatok graphics
significant impact has not. Remains willing to continue
domestic games are published in Russian.
