                      NEWS


(C) UnBEL! EVER ^ XTM


    Recently, it was nice NEWS latest issue of our
newspaper. At least, so say the regular readers BORN
DEAD'a. Well I'll try to meet your expectations at this time.
Incidentally, in this section is much easier to print and rumors
all sorts of "yellowness ".... however, I'm probably wrong too
I will. Just sometimes have to "work on" re-reading old
issue of the newspaper, and then knocks out the news section of 
the eye bitter tears of disappointment. I will try to write in 
this section more or less reliable information:)



    Relict ^ PHT joined K3L, as the second group. So
way, now it is two teams at once - Phantasy and
K3L. For Spectrum'ista is a bit unusual, but in the world
scenes is quite natural and prktikuetsya widely.
It is worth noting that not so long ago K3L replenish their 
ranks yet a famous musician. He is a former member of E.S.A. - 
FACTOR 6. Given that the Relict is gfx macker'om can obviously

expect new projects from this, the former Czech and now in
the truth of an international team.


    However K3L not the only team that has experienced changes 
in composition. A few months earlier, a well-known Slovak 3SC

joined widescreen Russian coder SERZH SOFT. Alliance of the two
such geniuses as Baze and Serzh could be very promising.


    It is true that during a recent conversation with me Serzh 
denied from formal membership in 3SC, but confirmed that the 
works with Baze'om over some of the new The project of. K

Unfortunately, the very last moment it became izvestno that
continuation of Spectrum'ovskoy SERZH'a stands under
the big question. He had somehow burned the computer and
monitor. Sam SERZH is indescribable DOWN'e ...


    But the most serious can be regarded as changes in the 
Extreme Entertainment. As recently as late May in rows XTM'a

voluntarily left the Exploder. He decided to create their
own label called PUSH (incidentally, one of his intro to
A1200 is also called), under which will deal with all the same
activities, which in the ranks XTM'a - to create "full-on
Amiga. Despite this event, no other changes in
EXTREME'a structure is not expected. July 12 this year will be 
the The third anniversary of the XTM party, which can be 
considered a starting point the existence of our group. Do not 
forget to visit the official homepage, the more so since 
mid-May has changed its design:

    Eternity Industry and Demiurge Ash disseminated information
being prepared for publication stsenovomu - "The Charts". 
Planirovalos diskzine'a creation in the image and likeness of 
other platforms / stages, devoted exclusively to the charts - 
that is, clarifying relations, who is one cool. Except for the 
announcement was common and proper form of vote-list'a, filling 
out that, everyone could participate in the selection of "very, 
very" on stage. Odnago already on May 23 issued a new statement 
EI, where The project of publicly renounced and put the whole 
load responsibility on the shoulders Ash'a. Nevertheless, "The 
Charts", clearly continues to exist, so you can safely

send the completed lists, but the address Demiurge Ash'a.


    As we learned from competent sources, 01/07/2000
Spectrum-known musician Andy Fer .... married. Event,
According to the culprit, it was long planned. It is not, 
however, affect the activity of Fer'a stsenovoy in life. 
Moreover, it is not only promised to come to CC'000, but also 
to present it all concerned her darling.



    In late May, the ranks of the Russian Armed Forces went 
Diver ^ 4d. Can do not even talk about the essence of this 
event - and so it is clear how loses much Speccy without such 
an artist. Anyone who has zhelaenie Diver'a support during this 
difficult period in his life, can write to:



     Astrakhan region, the index is 416,540, the city Znamensk-3

                 in / h 30652-H, Golubtsova Alexei


    I personally, as I promised, I will send a complete listing 
of the Leh issue of the newspaper - maybe, it's somehow help 
him in the heavy minute.



    As recently as early June, Vyacheslav Mednonogov, he 
continued, According to him, work on the Black Crow-II. True, 
the work is very slowly, but its outcome was not clear. No 
deadlines author does not name, nor promises demos. By the way,

previous demo that appeared in the spring fido was
perceived by many as a positive trend. However, at the
Indeed, it was just an old snapshoot, who gave glory to
torn apart by fans, deciding to tie the game with the creation 
of "Permanently". And now he returns to the project. Driven by 
whether they the desire to really finish the game, or a 
spontaneous move? The situation becomes clearer, obviously, 
towards the end of summer ... 


    According to Freeman, the famous Belarusian rock group 
Fatality disintegrated. Ars left the team and together with 
Gameboy'em washed away in Moscow for permanent residence. "Two 
other key members - Mast and Freeman organized a new label - 
FreeArt. They are currently preparing for CC'000 by writing 
games on Game Compo. This new product will be no worse than a 
demo, as the technical tricked, so humorous and informative.



    Let me remind you that this statement was made for the 
newspaper Freeman ^ FA. In However, he Ars previously told me 
that FATALITY still there as a team, and the actions Freeman'a 
and Mast'a by organization of a new label can be viewed 
exclusively as desire to earn extra money - ostensibly they 
have released and try to sell now playing KOLOBOK ZOOM II for 
GameBoy Color. I really do not know, whose words are more true, 
but I'd like to see all above on CC'000 with both Spectrum and 
with the GBC releases - there and face it.



    Hitherto little-known Polish spektrumist Will encourages all
Speccy community for the new party, dedicated exclusively ZX
SPECTRUM'u. Russian version circulated in early April
press release posted below. Do not want to directly criticize 
the idea, but Judging by this information, as well as the 
content of official site (he's still under construction), party 
it will be more nostalgic effects than the actual creative 
action: (

    Somewhere in the spring, exactly when, unfortunately, I do 
not remember - on the ground were still remnants of snow, our 
city was visited by the leader of the famous Kovrov of Eternity 
Industry - D-Man. This visit was not then to friendship, but 
rather a shopping tour. D-Man arrived in the city early in the 
morning at the famous stsenovom train # 248 "SPB-Samara and 
Samara was in just 10 hours. However, in this short period of 
time I had to show the beauty of the native cities and even 
ride the guest on the subway. I bet Diman now thinks that 
Samara - Moscow in a nutshell:) Literally an hour before 
departure, so, in passing, we realize the goal of his arrival, 
and went into the carpet not only D-Man, but the Commodore 
Amiga 1200/30/8mb fast. So now that Eternity Industry is robust 
and thorough amiga division ... 


    And just two days before the release of BORN DEAD'a to 
Samara Alex came Babailov known in narrow circles as the holder

ZX SPECTRUM SOFTWARE MUSEUM (www.zx.ru) and the associated FTP
(Ftp.zx-museum.org.ru). The arrival of this monster was 
Internet'a completely unexpected, and if not for the collective 
power of minds ZS'a and UnBEL! EVER'a - hardly an easy Samarets 
could learn about this. History of identifying Alexei among a 
couple hundred participants Conference "RELARN 2000" at the 
Museum im.Alabina deserves a separate story.

    Being found Mr. Babailov response to the urgent
questions that interested us all (especially UnBEL! EVER'a)
and told her about the concept of Internet-related resources on
Spectrum'om. Frankly, this person is onim of those
Who is worthy of respect and not only on the grounds that he
does ... Personally, I now respect him for that vision and
the ideas that he propogandiruet, although this is directly 
Speccy does Not applicable. The very same conference left the 
following experience - have serious adults also have their 
demoparty; though they without release'ov and called the 
conference. ":) 


    And finally, a little more than just news. At a certain
stsenovom resource for Speccy a global network of Internet - The
Demotopia - a new section, or rather the whole project, without
excess skomnosti named Best Of AY. As he writes Gasman ^ RA,
This page on the website was the result of "friendly
disassembly "between the two newsgroup'ami - comp.sys.cbm and
comp.sys.sinclair (newsgroups is almost like an echo in the 
FIDO). As known users of the computer C64 is so idolized by his

SID (sound chip), which is almost half the available
material on the C64 in Internet'e it. SID modules.


    Indeed, the sound on the Commodore64 not just sound, and
real holiday, but it can not reduce us, the true
spektrumistov values of AY-Chip'a. So it was decided to
popularization of AY and format. VTX create something like the 
depositary the best tracks that are created in AY, precisely at

Cross platform. VTX format.


    In short, Gasman ^ RA has selected 10 songs written in 
different times relating to different styles, but the most 
revolutionary, as in his opinion and the opinion of other 
people, participated in the discussion on this topic. So who 
got into TOP-10 of all times???


MeHTb! by Mm 
(2000) most-most AY modules. Especially, in this case
to vote can participate not only spektrumisty, but
just people from other platforms, sincerely interested in
chip-music.
