  Overview of new products software
PC software "ZX-SPECTRUM"
I would like to start with the works
our Russian sinkleristov. AND
not only for patriotic soobrazheniy.Esli until recently our 
hackers engaged in a burglary yes Russification of imported 
toys, limited to only a handwritten writing system programs so 
demonstrashek music, but now the situation radically changed. 
With experience and forces, the Russians set sights nabolee 
serious raboty.V last time they were written not one, but

dozens of game programs, most of which immediately received 
positive appreciated by fellow-sinkleristov.


  Of greatest interest is the game "Star Heritage"
creative group "STEP", written in 1995 godu.Demo version
the game was first published in
the tenth issue of the journal spectrophone and immediately 
attracted attention. And deservedly so: adventyurnaya game

Russian language is itself an event. Plot it is:

  Hero of the game, the secrets of the agent, barely having 
escaped the battle with the enemy, falls on an unknown planet,

located away from all the major space trails. Main
goal of the game - to be able to get to
civilization and run the crucial task to the end.

  full disk version of the game
takes full ob'em diska.Igra
excellent graphically framed,
has friendly interface, the program has an amazing flexibility, 
good music is chosen. Whoever runs this program,

can not tear myself away from it.

  Attempts to use game ideas widespread in other
types of computers, primarily at IBM. Opportunities 
"SPECTRUM'a", of course, not those, but there and successful 
raboty.Sredi them should first be noted

game NLO.VRAG UNKNOWN.
The program is designed VS Mednonogovym (the author is a 
favorite of many children play "Pinocchio" and crack many 
interesting English-language programs) based on the widely 
known game firm "MICROPROSE" "UFO.ENEMY

UNKNOWN ", released it in 1994
year for IBM-compatible computers. The author is grateful to 
the firm for great idea, but believes that

his version of the game for the ZX-SPECTRUM
differs from the original large
dinamizmom.eta exciting
strategic game with elements
militants will not leave anyone indifferent. ! Rather to 
protect the Earth from the nefarious aliens from Mars! 

  Fans of puzzle games were more fortunate others: several
groups of authors in different cities of Russia were written 
independently from each other as much four versions

game "Color Lines" (the name
at IBM - "COLOR LINES"). They have little
differ from each other, but
all done excellently - choose
any taste. (In parenthesis is a
regret may be noted -
so much time and effort throughout Russia, as a result of 
anything new! It's a shame. Although, if this step is rung to 
the top of the creative maturity, we hope that

follow their work to be more independent and original).

  Game "main blow" ("THE MAIN
BLOW ") issued by" chip "of the
Tagila.V the lower base of the game authors, certainly put the 
idea of ​​playing the famous program "SILK WORM". Only here you 
control a helicopter and a tank (not SUV), which destroy 
everything that comes their path.


  "ORDER RAPID RESPONSE"
(O.B.R.) - another work of "chip". The game successfully blends 
genres and ARCADE STRATEGY. Your task - to destroy the military

enemy base. The task of the enemy - to liquidate your base.
But just so you do not win
succeed - the airspace of enemy base is secure.

  On the description of the game "Field of Miracles"
no need to spend a lot of
words - who among us is not familiar with
the most popular game show? Only
now you say goodbye to the already familiar role of an 
omniscient, but passive fan, and turns into a direct

party games. Try to play and immediately feel
difference.

  The disadvantages of all versions of this
program must include gaps in
spelling and lack of encyclopedic knowledge of the authors
(Cod - clearly not an animal).

  Program Vadim Bodrov's "Card Club" CERA "inspired, perhaps, 
IBM-ovsky hit" PREFCLUB ", but it was a good gift inveterate 
gamblers Russia. 

  I would especially like to acknowledge the game "virus" 
(author - VS Kukovyakin of Ivanovo). The game belongs to the 
category of non-deterministic GOVERNMENTAL igr.Etomu genre 
specialists have not even had time to think

name.

  In the game, "VIRUS" you should "bring in a test tube" a new 
virus and to test its strength from other viruses, ie, make a 
small battle between them. Each virus is characterized by the 
degree of aggressiveness, rate of development and aging period

life, age, during which it can reproduce more
many other parameters. Your task - to create the most
viable and resistant virus.

  The virus, created by you, may
in the form of short-shipped file to disk and take part in the 
competition with other viruses that are created by other 
authors. 

  Under the auspices of the journal spectrophone "will soon be 
open championship game," virus ". Take to attend will be able 
to attend. Your "homegrown" viruses will take to the 
battlefield. Who will be the first champion? 

  In a brief review it is impossible
elaborate on all new items
Russian programmers. Of course, not all of them are equal -
for a game idea, graphics, music clearance, etc. But
the main thing that pleasantly surprises -
a wide geography of the Russian "SPEKTRUM'a. Program a high 
enough level are today not only in Moscow and St. Petersburg, 
but also in the Lower Tagil, Novosibirsk, Gomel,

Chelyabinsk, Rostov-on-Don,
Ivanovo and other cities
Russia and the republics of the former
CIS. Do not fall behind and our zemlyakikaliningradtsy. Our 
magazine is planned in the next room to continue publishing new 
works Kaliningrad programmers.


  Of the new products received from the West, we can note "F-19"
("STEALTH FIGHTER"). Fans
Game-Flight Simulator ago
waiting for this toy, and finally
She came to us. Wear a headset with an oxygen mask and ...
schaslivogo flight!

  A pleasant surprise among the novelties of this year's game
"DIZZY-7" (CRYSTAL KINGDOM DIZZY)
firm "CODEMASTERS", released in
1993. It turns out, SPECTRUM
still alive in the West, although the supply of new gaming 
software from abroad in Russia in recent years virtually dried 
up. But Nevertheless, fans of this wonderful game, which became 
a classic "SPECTRUM'a", will be very interesting to compare 
"DIZZY-7" firm "CODEMASTERS" with the Russian program "DIZZY-X" 
("Journey to Russia") and "DIZZY-Y" (Return to Russia "). I 
wonder who has achieved great vertices in correspondence match

programmers of the West and Russia?
