Hello, dear readers ZF!
ZX-Masters Group is pleased to present to you
second demo version GOLOVOBOLA. The first demo was released 
almost a year ago, and nobody thought that the work on this 
unpretentious game will be delayed for a year, instead of the 
planned four months - said Study at the fourth and fifth 
courses, consuming great time. In addition, the unpretentious

idea of ​​the game overgrown with new and new
twists, for example - introducing a second
character and the complete repainting of the first,
appearance of an additional graphics support TURBO mode on any 
computer the introduction of animation in each level. Adversely 
affected our enthusiasm total passivity of potential buyers - 
the call of our previous demo program available from the 
authors personally responded to all. 7 (!) People, for

that they are a special thank you. In addition, our
Group significantly expanded from two to

. eastern area of ​​the mosque - it flies a flock of 
butterflies and prevents players; - Forest edges - on the 
ground crawling every Miscellaneous from insects to spiders.

filed his player, he is charged
point. If the goal was scored not serve it
player, the point he gets, goes back to just pitch.

can be used to make each other bases
Here the rules of the ball adds another
one: if a bomb exploded on the field serving player, then a 
change of feed, and if a bomb exploded on the field is not fed
