Интервью

Minority Report - Breeze (Minisoft) tells the story of his Spektrumizma.

In a dissenting opinion column
I decided to place a small
an article about ... how cool
;) Describe how I became
spektrumistom, and that this
happened ...

My way I started in 1987,
when he first touched
Key 8bit'nogo ATARI 65XE.
Like many people, learning the basics
programming, I started
with the most simple language
in the world - BASIC. Unfortunately,
not preserved tapes

not enough time has passed)
but kept notebooks
with records and sources
;) Initially his work
I signed up as G.O.A. (As
initials Golenkoff Oleg, and not
as a direction in music;))
but soon got the first nickname
- Minisoft. By the time I

This nickname lasted
long enough.

Somewhere in the year 1989 in my
Life got a second
computer home
production <KUVT PC Corvette
8020>. It was also
BASIC, but it was not enough,
and was replaced by PASCAL.
I have to say it is not very
like (not to say
more). The only plus
who was with him - this is
that it was possible to obtain direct
access to  and include
or turn off some
Interest chips (extended
graphics, sounds
etc.). In general, looking

times to download programs

the main problem). Well
and the main highlight

support. As a monitor
used conventional

I was disappointed in him
- Kleshing colors

and many interesting
computers. But despite
all <zx-spectrum> -
love was for many
years and even now in 2007
interest in this platform
not extinguished. Of course free
time, not so much as
in past years, but nevertheless
I still believe that I would find another
strength to finish many projects
for example such as DoorsAqua
:) But back a little bit ago.

In 1993, the courses FDP GrGU
I met with another
spektrumistom, known as
nick Sierra Software
(Schiglinsky Vitali - now

But let's not get ahead of ourselves,
In 1995, I came
on vacation. Father (an avid
amateur ELITE) read
in the newspaper that someone is selling
Toys for Spectrum
(In particular there was ELITE
III). Leaving on
exploration, I met
with SNARK (Andrei and Sergei

As the truth of the golden period
began ...

Coming out of the army, it was already
1996, I came
several numbers
. Upon learning that they
come to the defense and just
in multipartite them not to copy,
I decided to write his

I did at that time did not know
of course, and so my
copyist safely duplicated
such discs. By the way a little

interesting thoughts in my head
- Maybe all the new well
forgotten old and modern

? :) I'll have at your leisure

In principle, you can tell

There are some that come
from the army, I met
with Rum'om and Scratcher'om. They
then separated and
organized by E-mage group.
Acquainted with the KVA and together
with Tom Hial'om we organized
group SWC (Spectrum Warriors
Corp.). Then went KVA
in the E-mage, and we are with Tom Hial'om
organized G'G
Entertainment. Next to us
membersy joined the group
RFH (Raisers from Hell) in the face
Dr.Grifus, Sir Denis, Alex
Psych and membersy Group
GrodnoSoft in the face of Laser Genius
and MAG (later joined
DJ.Serg and Vist). So
established in 1997
group ACL (Ascendancy
Creative Labs) which
existed for quite
long and has produced many
different releases. But
gradually interest in the platform
zx-spectrum began to fade and
In January 2001, tossing
all this morass, I created
group FishBone Group. It
included: breeze (ex-minisoft),
pilot (ex-vist), zorg
(Ex-laser genius), sergant
(Ex-dj.serg), blaze
(Ex-dr.grifus), vile fish
(Ex-sir denis), alpsy nevsky
(Ex-alex psych), rum and
scratcher. Was released
not enough good jobs
Platform pee-cee:)
but after a while
interest of the people began to fade
and formally dissolving
FishBone group, I signed
as the breeze ^ reeber:) later
