      MICROEDITOR v.3.09

            LOGROS


  To date, may
this is the most powerful text editor. Closest competition
it may reach only
IS-DOSovsky editor. No
ZX-Word, even in comparison is not
goes. The editor has built-in
konvertilku in its format from virtually any of the possible.
By the way all the texts of the magazine recruited 
MicroEditor'e. 


          PCX - VIEW

             Omsk

 The first working konvertilka
IBM'ovskih PCX images to
SPECCY. The program is simple in operation and has a convenient 
interface. However, the quality of convertible

images leaves much to be desired. For the program itself is 
attached help. However, the authors decided to make a joke and 
help working only when you enter

password. Type the word "HELLO"
and read on.



   Spectrofon to ZX-Word coder
 (Screen scaner for Spectrofon)


             Pskov


Idea: Paduchikh SA
Development: Lyakhovsky PV

 Steep stuff. Any text written off from the magazine SPECTOFON
You can put a ZX-Word'vsky format. To the program included a 
lot of fonts and special utility for pulling out of fonts. Also 
there is a Help, which will help you to work.



        FAST READER

Idea and development: Dr. Longman
Graphics and Design: Markus

 This thing is designed for ZX-Net network, quick view: mail 
files any format. Especially his

differences are: use only
128 mode, turbozagruzchik, Avtosmena drive, adjust the colors 
and so on ...  In fact, it DEMOversiya and some features are not

utilized. Certainly it
program is executed on a high
level, judging by her appearance. It is very comfortable and I 
think you will like it (I like it

personally liked). But the texts
that more than 64 characters long
simply does not fit all
screen. In it there are some
problems, and yet his quickness
this is a big plus.


    The Fast Packet v1.0x


           TULA

 (C) UA3PRQ@RA3PBQ.TUL.RUS.EU

This program is designed to
work in packet-based networks in their home SPECCY.
 What is TFP? The program was designed for Packet Radio
using batch controllers (TNC-1, TNC-2, KAM,).
 It shall be accompanied Different
documentation in the ZX-Word'skom
format. Of course if you have
terminal ....



      Review of new games.



       RETURN TO HOME 4

            K. KAV

       (Yaroslavl 1996)

 Finally appeared on our
market long-awaited game, under
extravagant name:

        RETURN TO HOME
Demo version of this game was published in one of the rooms
Journal spectrophone. The game is clearly
not up to modern
level coding. Immediately struck by the fact that all
game made by one person. He did it probably in secret
all, and nobody showed.
If he worked in a group, then
kind of criticism prompted him
visible errors ...
 Booting lasts about 30 seconds, apparently
K. KAV is not aware of such pieces
as packers. Entrance
cartoon on the cartoon is not drawn.
Managing a diverse, but
wretched, well, do not know about Yaroslavl
devayse such as a mouse. Itself
dynamic game, but rugged. It is worth to play,
but we must not dwell on it.


       STRIP REVERSI

         OutLand corp.

         (Minsk 1996)

 Another logical igralka,
game it is hard to call.
 From the name implies, and the ultimate meaning of this game. 
Nothing here come the new kids

of OutLand'a failed. Ordinary Reversi in competition with
computer, which is very well played. After two wins will show 
you a scanned image that I can go scroll the screen.

 Yes, after the "Field of Dreams" and
"SQUARE HEAD" This toy looks very pale.



         MORTAL KOMBAT


             AWS

             1997

 Well, that's waited until this
famous game came in the last
light. The world has seen two demos
with the same name. First, with
great characters and great graphics, the other opposite, with 
small characters and difficult to control. It

recently became the prototype demo
new game.
 The game begins with the submission of all fighters, their 
data and their super-capacity. This is followed by selection of 
fighters, you can choose his opponent for

game together, or choose a
fighter for the game with the computer.
 Now about the game. Before the fight you
show a pretty picture, with
the image of your fighter and
opponent. The battle itself
very exciting. Huge
variety of punches, flying in all directions
blood ... Why not IBM'ovsky
MORTAL? In the management of a fighter
part 9 - 10 keys, with
various combinations.
 Play against the computer a lot easier than against man. I'm a 
little practice able to pass all the fighters to

GORO, which is the only
able to give me a decent
resistance, but he fell,
as well as everyone else.
 More difficult to play with computers at other levels, there 
have it contains the rudiments of intelligence.

 But overall, it hits a game
which simply need to
play all.
 Other things to say about the protection of
this program. It is because of
her Russian razboltannost drives do not want to admit corporate 
drive.
