 Hello, dear fans Speccy!


   At this time I have prepared for you fairly
                but straight from the tin review game S NIS. 
Some readers c S DEJA VU rightly


  S gave me a comment on
) S over the fact that I am too
M S paying little attention to Osveja S scheniyu new games. 
Well, RS is a peccadillo, do not argue. On


  S is a reason, but I do not

                I will make excuses, but try this section to 
pay more attention! Ready to ..? Well then, let's go!

 Y-y-y-eeees! We did it at last!

                  (As an epigraph ...)


          What?! Hello to you!



  Phantom FAMILY corp. hurry to provide
You pre-peliz his toys, which in the style of strategy and 
management skills (ie management). We hope that After playing 
enough in the "Black Crow", you want from the distant past Magic

go back to the same remote, but more
a real future. Anyway, I can
assure you that try to make a very cool toy (no worse than a 
"CV") and fans of "strategies" will appreciate

our development, which is called:



     In L A S T E L I N O R & O N A



       and for fans of English


    * M a s t e r o f O R I O N *



  Basic requirements for the machine:
■ Memory: 128Kb or higher;
■ AY-soundcard;
■ TR-DOS 5.03 and compatible.


  Thus, we present for your court game
an idea which was suggested by Microprose (a huge thank you to 
her for it). We thought that it would be nice to have such

interesting "strategy" among the best games
for the Speccy. And the work began. History
creation of this game is rooted in
back centuries, and begins ... something I
distracted, I think that this story takes
not all - much more interesting to know what it represents sey 
product and you will see directly into the pre-release.



       Very brief background.



  ... 1996, the year the New Era. The war that
Unleashed Star Wolves, destroyed many
planetary system of the Empire. The once mighty Galactic 
Alliance was defeated by those barbarians who had no no sense 
of pity or compassion. Earth, is not the only race that has 
resisted the aggressors. But the forces are unequal. Eight 
years of conflict have had a devastating impact on the industry 
of the planet - on It left almost no resources. Now

Earth is a little reminiscent of that blue planet,
which attracts tourists from all corners of the galaxy. What's 
already there ... Galaxy slowly dying under the influence of 
large hostilities, certainly not in the physical

sense, but spiritually, culturally. Must
There was something to do ...


  ... Disappeared long ago days when
Empire flourished and all the new planets
included in its composition. It seemed that the "integration 
process" irreversible. However, some were still against the 
growing power of the Galactic Union. These include the 
inhabitants of the planet Varga system Yron. 

  Vargantsy, very warlike humanoid
race, which has managed to antagonize
Empire's population has several systems
Galaxy. Military alliance did not have
the right to act against them, the law states that interference 
with nations, not members of the Empire, is unacceptable.

Vargantsy clearly enjoyed it and did
"Treated" neutral planet - subjugated recalcitrant and 
collected under their banners loyal. For his violent temper

Rebels have received the gloomy and menacing
nickname - Star Wolves. Their habits
really looks like a predator: clinging to the victim, they 
would not let it while the latter does not obey the will of the 
aggressor. It seemed that they were ignorant of fear death.


  In 1978, star patrol Empire was suddenly attacked and 
defeated a squadron Star Wolves and Allies vargantsev launched 
a major offensive. It This year is year of the beginning of the 
Galactic War. The attackers were ruthless and insatiable. Many 
systems have surrendered without battle - so great was the 
military power of the aggressors. The fall of the Empire was 
inevitable. But many of the world fought back, sometimes it 
seemed that no avail. But ten years later Wolves have reached 
and to the borders of the solar system. Here, on the blue 
planet Earth, was the headquarters of the fight against the 
aggressors. It should be noted that the Earthlings - very 
respectable race in the galaxy. It was believed that they 
became the pioneers in interstellar flight and have begun

the creation of the Empire. Technology level
the planet was highest in the Galaxy -
worked here, scientists from many planets. Unofficially, it is 
considered the capital of Earth Empire. Vargantsy knew that 
capturing the Terra, so she called on the galacto, the Empire 
will never rise on her feet ... 


  ... Eight years of conflict did not break
spirit of earthlings. Star Wolves recognized that
probably the only inhabitants of Terra could seriously hinder 
them to seize the Empire, so they aimed to destroy the planet 
at any cost. Earthlings understand that the planet's resources 
is unlikely to last for a long resistance to the aggressors. 
The forces were unequal. In 1996, the Earth was invented by an 
intergalactic engine, which became the hope for salvation. A 
year later great effort managed to create the first

galaktolet.

  In 1998, the population of Terra Multi galaktoletah left his 
native system and gone into the subspace in the direction of 
the galaxy of Orion. In pursuit of a special squadron flew the 
Star Wolves ... 

  Apparently, the transition has gone intergalactic.
At least, "there" no one has returned ...


  From that moment, the game itself.


  In 2000, the New Age hit the Earthlings
another galaxy, which they would
master and is now independently
build an empire. It seemed that nothing and
no this can not hurt. But do not forget about the squadron 
Volkov, they will try to hinder you in this. And if you make 
any mistake (as the Emperor, which is the you are not a 
person), the aggressors Be sure you use it ... But about

I'll prepare a full version of the game "The Lord of Orion."


  And in the pre-release we are offering to beat the situation, 
which is stored in the 'first' position. This "shipment" may 
not be changed, ie you can not write the current state of play 
in this position. So do not be afraid to win or lose, you can 
experiment. Must say that in the proposed state of the game

the enemy has already detected almost all the planets
"Open." It remains only to defeat the enemy,
which invisibly governs Emperor
Spectrum 973rd and grab all planetyeto is the purpose of 
pre-release (but it should be noted that before the end of the 
game is still not pass succeed, although you can try ...).


  So, after loading the game, you can choose (initially works 
Sinclair Joy Right) shipped a position (other options do not 
work here, but their appointment in the full version you can 
guess by yourself). Next you will be asked to enter password (a 
very useful thing, especially because in the full version can 
be played against each other vdvoemdrug). You simply press 
Enter and you will come into play. 


  Now let's see the game, which
compiled with the main tester'aTitorenko Ruslana.


  To begin with we must note that suspended in
a planetary system there
Only one habitable planet, and the name
the planet has the same name stars, so do not be surprised when 
there are encounters the word "system" and "Planet"

describe the same concept.

 YEAR GAME DESIGN TECH RACE MAPS



  We begin with a description of the top right
side of the screen (window 1), which is reflected
general characteristics of the planet.


  Approximate form of the window:


   Speccy RULEZ!!! <- The name of the planet;

   FERTILE <- view of the planet;

   RICH <- resursoobespechen
   POP 88 (120)  0 NONE PROD N BC - productive D <> 0 NONE sequence planet 
bil I <> 100115 lion creds, the current  E <> 0 CLEN time.

 T <> 0 Then come NONE options

                   you can ME STAR nyat its discretion | | / RT 
of, but remember that  - <> - LR population of the planet can / 
| | Jette rebel against  An emperor in Neum

                   Scrap the distribution of the parameters, 
try to control the situation. 

   So, here are all the possible
simple. All productivity or,
economic terms, the entire gross income
(Productivity of the planet) is
as 100%. Here's the income you may
Distribute using arrows "<" and ">"
(Increase and decrease) to the relevant needs. Distribution is 
a percentage. By default, it is produced a year, but on 
"special decree" Emperor it is fixed until the next

"Decree", for this you just move
arrow on the option and press the FIRE-change color. Now this 
number of funds will be allocated on a fixed setting on a 
mandatory basis to cancel (again click on the option). Funds 
remaining inhabitants of the planet can spend on your own 
(unless, of course, you and they do not "fix a") for more 
options. 

Form parameter string:

   S <> 68 N Y. information field

   |
setting percentage


   The parameter S characterizes the amount
means that you allocate for the construction of ships 
(starships). Here are possible options. 

   a) For a given amount of funds can be
N build ships, then the line will
form (N is reflected in the information field):

   S <> 68 N, where N-number of
type of vessel that can be built for
year, if you select 68% of gross income.
Incidentally, in the PRE-RELIZe ships have already designed and 
built. Naturally, the construction of one ship is lost nth 
number of funds. 

   b) For a given amount of funds can be
to build a ship for N years, in which case the information 
field, but the number N will appear letter Y (years):


   S <> 68 N Y.


   Parameter D (Defence) characterizes the amount of funds 
allocated to protect the planet. On the planet built base

which may, in case of attack, repel the aggressors, the more 
bases planet, the better (ability to protect

is directly proportional to the number of bases).

  The string can take a form similar to
line "S".


   Parameter I (Industry) is characterized by
amount of funds allocated for the development of the industry. 
The result reflects the number of units of industry, which 
"prirastut" for the year in the number of issued funds. When 
the maximum number of units of the industry, will be built STAR 
GATE (reflected in the information field as a "G") - a special 
teleportation device that allows you to overcome

any distance up to 1 year. In this case,
number on the left of "G" will indicate
How many years will be built, these "star
gate "for a given amount of money.


   Parameter E (Echology) reflects the amount of funds 
allocated for the development of ecology. Since this indicator 
is very closely related to population figures. Indeed, its 
growth and decline associated with the state of the planet's 
ecology. 

   In the information field can be the following values:

  (+/-) N ("+" is not printed) - means
that for a given amount of funds provided by the population 
growth on the N units. If N is negative, it means that

funds for the development of ecology is not enough, leading to 
loss of N billion people (do not want to lose, add funds!). 

   NB (Build - a) - means that
a given amount of resources can increase the number of the 
population to 10 billion people by improving the environment in 
a Earth and the construction of additional homes, factories and 
other facilities, ie maximum "capacity" of the planet will 
increase by 10 units for N years. 

   CLEN (Clean - clean) - means that
This part of the Gross Revenue will provide
sufficient quality of the environment. Index
population is not growing.

   WAST (Waste - "impairment") - means
that the number of insufficient funds
to maintain an appropriate level
ecology, but the loss of population has not yet (!)
this does not, however, increases the likelihood of a disease 
(plague) on the planet. 

   MAX (maximum) - means that the state
Ecology is currently favorable and
population can not grow larger, ie you
not quite sure to allocate such
funds for the environment. On the other hand
This means that a given amount of resources will provide the 
most reliable and high quality eco-system. 


   Parameter T (Technologies-technology or
research) characterizes the amount
funds allocated for research on this planet.

  At illnesses (people or computers), change this setting you 
can adjust the treatment process. 

   Kinds of information fields:

   N - a number that indicates the research capacity on this 
planet than it is greater the faster the study.


   COMV (COMputer Virus - a computer virus) - the world's 
research laboratories have stopped because of a computer virus, 
but a given number of "lime" virus will not succeed. 

   PLAG (Plague-"plague") - the planet was struck by
plague, and this amount of money she
can not be stopped. Plague, of course, affects the population, 
which affects the setting of Ecology, the latter is changed or 
the "FEW" (Meaning that the quality of environmental reserves

much to be desired) or "NF" (meaning
that for a given amount of funds for
significant changes in ecology have to spend N years).

   CURE (Cure - "Remedy") - at this
the number of allocated funds for the current
year will be found anti-virus or vaccine (in
situation), the disease will be eliminated.

  Note that in the Pre-RELIZe study
occur in only one area - in Planetology, ie All the efforts of 
scientists focused on research in the field of cloning people, 
constructing, improving the construction of facilities, 
environmental and other general and necessary for normal life

areas. In principle, the scientists themselves will tell you 
about the discoveries, and what they do now (although in 
English, so Have your dictionary). In the original fields

Research will be more, but this little
below.
