   Hi all! Now that I was asked to write a short article on
our underground work:), then I really take advantage of
case, and say first few words of life, which I hope not
will be censored.

First about the Born Dead'e ....

Of course, the newspaper itself can not stand any criticism.:)
Even the closest companions of heads (in) Reda call it none 
other than gon from Unbeliever'a:) Pretty specific, although 
partially fair comments by the author, sternly polemical style

coupled with a fairly original setting out some simple
things, of course, many vyzyayut excitement. At the outset,
existence of a newspaper peacefully absorbed emitted into Fido
news and greedily eat them than deserved more sympathy for
Deprived of fresh information spektrumistov.

She then did not touch anyone else:) But already the 5 th 
number appetites increased, and together with the swollen 
listalovkoy necessity constantly push the lame and other petty 
mischief and misspellings, Born Dead penetrated defeatist

mood and feeling about the imminent end close.

With each subsequent number pathologist role became
more and more visible, pushing into the background really
professional articles. Not the fact that the information unit 
was deteriorate, increasing the reader were to send, well, you 
know, by x (aosayt). News also turned into a brief medical

Summary: someone who had just foaled, who learned from and where
transported, who as screwed up, and who when he ordered a long 
time life:) And what about the only one with a scandalous idea 
promoushinom fictional FT99 and obsasyvaniem results 
constructions of chaos:) Some of it dragged, it added another 
andrenalina, y third - just the desire to say something (good)

directly into the ear of the publicist.

But let's see, after all Unbeliever - not any
there is the usual Pasha Pupkin from Internet, and its 
membership is not a scene cause no one questions, and even more 
so, as any person has a right to express their views. In 
addition, as I think everything that comes from the pen of MMA 
is written rather for the soul than to satisfy his own vanity:)


Well, if this is true, then you should not turn BornDead
a parody of a Scenergy (dekranchingi in the previous issue -
clearly unhealthy trend), but much more interesting to draw
joint review of, say, the same ZS'a;) - the result should
achieved by simply Otpad (I say this from experience 
Publication RIP'a totally unprofessional newspapers by and 
large), and readers will not always degrade with longing for

mourning next svezhevymuchenogo BornDead'a.

Second on the scene.

Unfortunately, she is now in severe agony, if not
died, although, according to all full Raver'a Okay. Cracking 
scene so in general since a year on a starvation diet, so the 
public charts can speak in general? And it was clear from the 
outset, the What I said to him immediately. The only 
firstrelease 12TK adorns top, the winner of course is defined:) 
Can you imagine, we already transmit fuck'i omission?! Why BD 
passed such glaring fact?? Yes, if we once thought of

such, we have omitted to Raver'a and eleven other travelers
times. But nafig??

We had hoped that the people a little stir, seeing our
new works, and will compete. This is even more strange
when many peashteshniki are my good friends, we
many worked in the release ... In general, should not have to do
still it will not change anything, besides, it is clear that 
simply Like Raver'u bending the fingers, and that's it. Well, 
rough work is not our style - we have other methods like 
someone chide, when it is necessary:>


Game scene, as such, disappeared. It's no secret that
No new global projects on the Spectrum did not anticipate, and
of already initiated could be completed unless the BR2, unless 
of course, He even started:) It is clear that the current state 
of affairs Copper Feet'a can safely record of programmers, 
business the ranks of the scenery, as a tangible financial 
return for BR2 probably will not get: (- that is, if he will

completed yet, almost on pure enthusiasm:) Now,
when CF decided to devote himself to children obuchalka 
(carries the same kids; (s) other than enthusiasm will have to 
find another, time and still have to remember how to work all 
the branches of AI. 

In general, "the raven - it certainly is not fake, but the joke 
was a good" 

According to the most recent data the authors Awaken'a not 
finished yet completely, even the script, and although Rage 
traditionally worked very slowly but surely, confidence that 
the project will be completed, no longer exists. Brokimsoft, if 
not set free Klaus in the next month ... oops, the type made 
before an article stuffing. Hurry up to buy until the snow does 
not come down:) And do not forget of the charts;) Another 
really heard about the attempt resuscitation project MechWar, 
for this was going to a council of doctors:) We hope that will 
cure a hopeless Bolney. That's all perhaps, to be exact - 
absolutely nothing: / 

Yes, there is still always ready Pussy, but we are torn between
dilemma - give it to pluck wishing to either get
a good buy once and not piecemeal;). I think that her fate
finally resolved within the next month, so wait
Ads ...

But in general, of course, would say such a thing, that the 
current times, when people learned to make money, talk about

some kind of commerce on the Spectrum (in the everyday sense of 
the word) strangely. When, for example, you hear statements that

they say there is no place for commerce on the Spectrum, which 
is a machine for soul, and not worth it to dirty money - and 
why should wring works of such authors, let me ask, are there 
many people who are ready, let's say for $ 100 six months to 
work on some kind of global game. Yes now offer someone a sum of

major project - nobody will take it!

And how many people who do not return - twisted - and in fact
could also still work for the benefit of the Spectrum and the 
scene is almost nahalyavu;) is therefore surprising when the 
same Raver in focus sees no difference between CodeMasters and 
CopperFeet sample 99 year:)


Demo scene was and remains the only evidence
viability Speccy. Continues to increase as the number of party
in Russia, and Europe with an overall decrease in the number
participants and the quality of work. Last year was enough
good and bad party, but unfortunately, none of the party I 
would not called serious (in terms of work). According to the 
representativeness and create a stir, of course the leaders - 
Construction Chaos. 

This year, many groups again have to choose which party
visit, as do some quality work for
short term is very difficult. Of course, I would like this year
get finally (at least one) some widely accepted and
a prestigious party, to participate in which would be a natural
goal (goal, a dream) any self-respecting team. Like
would make this party was sufficiently Spectrum and
inoplatformennym not:) But as the situation develops in the old
scenario, even worse ... Mda, flaming will be great, but good?


                          What should I do?

Do nothing - should rest. I wanted to say much else, but
like some other time.

                                Since you were Ars ^ FTL

Generally it a privilege to write in this column belongs
only me ... At this time it was necessary to sacrifice the 
principles of and give this section ARS'u. True, I have asked 
to write it all another article, but once a person got something

PI'obraznoe, for God's sake, we will publish.

No comment I will not do, because it is a thankless
occupation. I want to talk about something else .... Now dozens 
of famous and not are projects in the field of software for the 
Speccy frozen or speaking more precisely - simply abandoned. 
And many of them we do not even know ... For example, ALIEN 
FACTORY have on hand a new JPG'ov version converter, which is 
three times faster in general, plus an order of magnitude 
faster than does RGB conversion. Ask me where this converter? 
He was not released: (The same and PUSSY, and Raven Black - 2! 
But where the game announced MIRRORS creators (which is in the 
spirit of GOBLIN'ov )???? 

But I am writing this not to simply state
Facts! The solution is, and it's very simple! Anyone who wants 
to output of a program should simply write a letter to her

authors. Longhand on a piece of paper into envelopes. Not
it is only necessary that electronic soulless crap - from him
would be no sense ... Just write what you want to see
program completed, advise something, support the author's
demand, finally!

Such a precedent has already been to England, where the editors 
YOUR SINCLAIR Project SAVE OUR SINCLAIR oblikovala

special coupons that can be cut and sent in
address of manufacturers of games. The British tried to achieve 
8-bit Conversion games ROBOCOD JAMES POND (US Gold) and NIGEL 
MANSELL'S GRAND PRIX (by the way it still did). Conversion!! 
And we then you need only to convince the authors complete the 
already started .... 

So take pen and paper and write:

FREEMAN'u from FATALITY (about PUSSY)

       Mednonogovu from Peter (about Raven)

                 >> RRA>> from AlienFactory (about JPG viewer)

                          DISABLER'u from OHG (about Mario 
Islands) and many many more ....


Saving the Spectrum in your pen:)
