<b>News</b> - for new projects on the Spectrum: The Legend of Kirandii, Dune 2, Modem Chess, Sprtnter, Domain OS, new graphical editor for sprinters.

  We suggest that you familiarize yourself with some
projects, which now goes to work
our country.



              THE LEGEND OF KIRANDII


  Large graphic adventyura created in this
time in Yaroslavl.

  NICODIM, known as the creator of the Spectrum version PRINCE 
OF PERSIA, decided, apparently, to impress us with your next 
adventure game by choosing this time the genre adventyury. And 
this game, according to the author, will be full Russian 
equivalents created for IBM Game LEGEND OF KYRANDIA, ie control 
the heroes and testing locations will be done by hand. 



  Do you have an opportunity to assess the level of graphics in 
the next game, although NICODIM said, handing the disc with a 
picture that this is not the most beautiful. Success, Romance!




                    DUNE 2


  Known for IBM, a complex strategy game
will soon appear on the Spectrum.


  And it comes from Tver, from Roman Stolyarov.
You will see this after watching the demo
version of the game in the annex to the magazine. Almost
No differences from the IBM-ovsky games, well, except for 
graphics, of course. 



  Spectrum version even faster,
and digitized voice sounds very bodryasche.
The only thing missing this demo - it
shipment to drive - very much exciting it
turned out!



               Dial-CHESS


  OMEGA GROUP St. Petersburg continues to develop idea 
MODEMizatsii St. Petersburg. 


  Following newspaper network ZX-NEWS (well, very
interesting newspaper!) and a terminal program
MACRO MODEM, there appeared the idea of online gaming. AND
first of these, as we said, Alexander Mayorov, is likely to be 
a modem version of chess. It is not known whether this 
alteration one of the chess programs or work

start from scratch. But it's safe to say that these games will 
be a weighty word in favor of the acquisition of modems.




                   SPRINTER


  Petersburg company continues to successfully PETERS
work on a new home computer
under the working title SPRINTER.


  On the computer itself was mentioned in section
Zhelezyaki, here we want to say about the other side of this 
project. 

  The fact that any computer, whether it is the most advanced 
hardware features to remain just a piece of iron, with no 
software software that implements those of its capabilities.


  So, the other side of the project Sprinter,
are projects to create software for a new computer. Below we 
will describe the first such projects. 



                   DOMAIN OS


  Operating system for sprinters.


  Just hit the market software
provide a new operating system Domain, and
Its author, a St. Petersburg developer Maxime GANNUTIN, will 
soon begin operating under a new adaptation car firm Peters.


  While no one knows what the next beautiful
name will be given a new version (released on the eve bears the 
name PINK FLOYD). But before the user will appear in a new way 
of decoration, beaming all the colors of the new modes. And for 
programmers the OS will be finished medium for the design and 
operation of the program. Can already an example of this.




             Graphics Software


  The new graphical editor for sprinters.


  PROFSOUSE group began to establish a radically new graphical 
editor for SPRINTER computer equipped DOMAIN OS.


  The Editor will have not only familiar to spektrumistov 
opportunities, but such such as setting the windows of 
arbitrary shape reference mask. By the time the mass selling PC 
editor is finished, and the user can himself check graphics 
capabilities of the new machine. 



              TEXT EDITOR


  The new text editor for sprinters.


  PROFSOUSE group recently began work on
Create a new text editor, combining the best features of 
well-known editors. In particular, we realized the possibility 
of presenting text in multiple formats ranging from 42 to 80 
characters per line. 

  After creating the editor will be released a version adapted 
to the Sprinter. 



  We talked about only the part of the famous
our projects. But some other short already
mentioned in other sections of the magazine.


  In the next issue of the story of these endeavors will be 
continued. And we'll keep you informed of known works.
