Glance - A view from the platform (on the game of 8-DEPARTMENT ").

  VIEWS FROM THE PLATFORM



  KASP'Y2K.


  Hi everyone!

  In today's edition of my column,
I was asked to consider a new toy put to us from the glorious 
city Khabarovsk, from Mr. Slipa and group ACTION


  It's about logic adventyure "8OTDEL.

  Well, we start? .. Thus, super-actionadventyura (a la view 
temechko) 8-DEPARTMENT. 


  A little history ...

  Overcast Saturday morning did not promise anything wrong. 
Low, leaden clouds hung over the radio market, carrying a a 
huge positive emotions, which have been waiting for all 
assembled on this day, "electronics".


  I was standing near a table of Max and sipped beer, 
reflecting on the theme "for a nove it would shake, "while, as

Max ran through the radio market in search of some chips.

  He returned foamy, but happy.
So I immediately went to a frontal attack:

  - Max of novya something to eat?

  Max grimaced.

  - Come on, do not break. We must also check how it is on the 
"Krasnodar" works. 

  Max grimaced even more, but
This, he climbed into his bag ... And this is true
mark!

  - Okay, check ... Just watch
anyone ... - He said, handing me
diskette with the modest inscription Microsoft
on it.

  I pricked up his ears. The inscription did not bode
anything good (and really reach us, burzhuiny cursed?). Still,
being able to overcome their fear, I put
diskette in your pocket (well, not to give the same
in fact).

  And coming home, shoved it in the drive
and pressed the button Run ...

  The story is interrupted ... and begins a continuous 
8-DEPARTMENT. 

  So, as I said, 8-SECTION is
logical adventyura, with elements actiona.

  You should, running a secret agent
Larry, to penetrate into the heart of the enemy camp and arrest 
the evil Doctor-X, who is trying to take over the world (And no 
less). 

  The game consists of five levels (after
passage of each is given the code) and Final
Cut'a. Each level represents
a separate small adventyuru, which runs about ten minutes (if
You know what to do), with some monster at the end (because of 
which the level of have to go again and again).


  Here, briefly, and the whole plot. And now,
that is called, put on sunglasses and look at it closer.


  Manage.


     - ... Kill him, kill!

       While he was not brought to mind ve
       camping world!

     - Calm down sick. Who

       it?

     - Cursor of course! Whom

       yet.

      (From a conversation with a psychiatrist, PA
      ranoidalnym schizophrenic)


  Guess what this game of the governed?

  That's right, it is controlled exclusively
cursor (in my opinion the most is, th ....
joystick control of all invented) and nothing
others.

  I do not know, maybe it was done
specifically to people with anger porazbival their "Pentagon", 
"Krasnodar" etc. (At least I have a few

once there was such a desire. Especially in
the last level, which I took time
fifteen) and moved to PC (unless it is
so, for it to kill), or is it
pure and selfless worship this
pagan joystick ...

  I do not know.

  But I can say one thing ... Do not even say, just turn to 
Sliru and his ilk coders: "More democracy in the choice of 
management." 

  We, the simple townsfolk, it is still
under the constitution should be.


  Now a bit of philosophical reflection
on health ...


      ... In a world so fast

      changes ... Sometimes I even

      do not have time to change clothes.


  (From the memoirs of a drug addict

    on the change of seasons)



  Smoothness is beautiful.

  Gently swaying in the wind, the trees.
Slowly running brook. With easy grace of a dashing ashore waves.

  All this makes us rejoice in our view, a soul filled with 
deep feelings peace. Makes you feel that much more beautiful in 
the world more than anything else.


  But the smoothness may not only please ...

  It still can be annoying ...

  May enrage ...

  Finally can simply pick
"Tower", with the most severe consequences!

  And this is fully implemented this
software.

  Come on, very slowly creeping across the screen
name of the game, two podgruzki level before and two after, 
boring task of which is impossible to get rid of spinning 
pointer "cemetery there," with a cute inscription Game Over ... 
All of this can drive one crazy person, even with the stability 
psyche "above average". I say nothing of those personalities, 
which emit their computers in the garbage disposal as soon as 
they bit zaglyuchat. 

  In short, I would not recommend playing it to people with 
weak nerves, mental disorders and those who simply itself is 
not responding. 

  And Mr. Slip, I hope, will do the above, for yourself, some 
conclusions on the part of the coding. 


  And finally ...


     Great and mighty Russian language!

     He still endures.

     (Some of the greats)



  Well guys you give!

  So much "distorting" the Russian words I have
nowhere to be seen.

  I certainly understand that the Russian language
difficult and tricky (he went ... and had a
on it solid triple), and that solid
count - this is not a joke ... But really
your writing there was no one to check. Or
on kraynyak themselves to take the "uncle" Ozhegova
and see how to spell something or other
word. Yes, I admit that they can always
be error (itself not without sin).

  But not as much!

  In short, in the new year, I wish you find a good editor (aka 
Mr. Slip you're better off not even trying to implement their 
dream of their own electronic edition ... Zafakayut). 

  By the way, if you want to back in the hi
someone "send", you should know that
the word "fuck" written by u, and not through
a. Verification "fucking asshole".

  On this optimistic note, I would like to finish the review of 
the toys and the authors say thank you for being

that it works even bezovsyakih problems
on my "Krasnodar" (and Viper, among
Incidentally, considers it the most "left" of
all possible).

  At the end of history, told by me
at the beginning of the "parse" I want to say
that on the Saturday evening, in order to remove
nervous tension, I have accumulated
during passage of this game, I got drunk before the pig 
squealing in the morning and felt preotvratno (but a "tower" is 
not moved out and it's good).



  Summary: Toy cool on the idea (personal
  but I took it completely), but

  with a very boring shell. Poe
  Besides I would not recommend u
  host it for people with "weak"

  nervous system and various

  mental disorders.


  At pososhok, for those who despair of its
pass, I give all the codes and levels of Final Cut'a:

   2-tier AABBCCDD

   Third level ABACADAE

   4-tier FADBBADE

   5-tier GDGGABAB

   Final Cut HGHAAHGH


  On this for now.

  See you at the "platform".

P.S. News for fans of Babylon 5.

      Finally, with a crowbar, and STSa

      little bit of luck, managed to break out

      code locked door on the second level
      no. It looks like another 423.

      It is true that turned out to be hidden

      behind that door, do not justify the WHO
      imposed on his expectations.

P.P.S. Even after writing this article,

      I learned that the Viper UPE
      Bb sat at my computer and made some
      a qualitative adjustments in the notation
      envelope of twelve issues. As

      he said to himself, in a personal conversation with

      me: "If the eleventh number of

      You worked well, the twelfth
      th will work even ludshe!

      Let's see ...



  Just a couple of words I would say Disabler / DPL. You're in 
the tenth issue of DonNews was careless enough to write that 
ZASM V 3.10. Is Lame!


  Darling, you simply rushed to conclusions
and this, I think, not a little offended this gorgeous 
(according to the editorial board of our newspaper) software. 

  You write that it takes almost half of the disc ... Right and 
what you like - Is a multi-hull ... You

Choose what you need for work and rewrite on a separate floppy 
disk. At kraynyak, erase the rest (if you do not want the extra

floppy disk to transfer).

  I do not know what a text editor
you are using, but I can say that
set of necessary service functions and usability ZASM editor 
surpasses all I have known counterparts (and I tried

a lot of editors). Take at least a function
Paste or settings Setup'a, using
whom work in the editor can do for yourself most comfortable.

  The only worthy competitor
ZASM editor'a I think only the Modern
Word, but I personally do not like the external design and some 
other reasons. Although judging by Help'u "stuffing"

there is powerful.

  And about the large volume editor can tell you that I have 
what I need directly to work, took 275

sectors. And let it twice,
What is Modern Word, but I personally
it attracts more.

  Therefore, I advise ... Read to Help
it and try a little in it to work. And you will see that it is 
not hopeless.

  ZASM editor V 3.10. RULEZ!!!
