  Oh, how many wonderful discoveries we have
  Prepared by Slavik Mednonogov... 
 almost like Pushkin
                                          
    So, as you would expect, "Black
Raven" turned out to be a bestseller at the
fair software market
for the Spectrum platform. The hit of the season is
I was.  I won't be lying if I say
that this is the best thing that has been done so far
but on our platform in the strategy genre.  
    But as you play, you start little by little.
get angry over minor shortcomings, under-
lock and glitches.  Everyone who reached
third level and being immediately killed
by the enemy, was forced to reboot
entire program to repeat or change
thread of tactics and strategy of combat. When
two disk drives still all right, but with one
he's just a hanger...
Having started to change disks, I spat on copyrights
and other conventions, began to tinker with the program
frame from the inside. Imagine my surprise
when I saw completely free access
to algorithms.  A thought crossed my mind: is it really
is it all that simple or did the author decide that there are three
Is two scratches on the disc enough?
How wrong I was!  Easily find what you need
places in the program, made a correction, then
launched and... after 5-10 seconds everything died -
lo... Great defense, nothing to say.
Just cool, that's all.                  
     But I’m not writing all this for
tell you how it is and what. Not at all.
The purpose of this article is to familiarize yourself with my
refining the game so that the needles don’t tear at
nothing from nowhere, but having additional
private memory via STANDARD port
#7FFD, we could safely enjoy the beauty

128K via the above port, then you can
you wish you didn’t read.                           
                                          
        CRITICAL RETREAT. Gentlemen programmers! Until when do you
you will write programs with 128K in mind
memory? Twelve years have passed since that moment
how this standard was invented and seven
years, as brought to its logical continuation
niya in the form of 512K. Do you even have a stake on your head?
be quiet, it doesn't matter. We're tired of these excuses
help, like sorry, brothers, I don’t have enough memory
melts for this, for this... Now only
lazy, poor and greedy do not expand
RAM storage. So who do we look up to, guys?..
                                          
      Let's finish with the introduction and move on to
the most interesting thing, namely assembler.
I want to immediately disappoint lovers of hala-
wow something to fuck: there is no technology here
to remove protection. This modification will
work ONLY on the original version and
no pirate glucodromes here
duh! It will also not be possible to plow infinites
without a detailed and COMPLETE study of the method
protection.  So buy exclusively
original!  Talents such as Mednonogov,
MANDATORY must be paid.          
   So, with the permission of the author, we make a copy
first disc from track 2 to track 128 incl.
carefully.  You can not fool your head and
experiment with the original.  But for
this should have a stable operating
system and program"Catalogue Master"
(see  ZX-Format #5).  This program
make a duplicate of the zero track at 160
track in case the revision process
will not suit you and you will want everything restored
update. Then ONLY the zero track is formatted
run according to the standardiS-DOS,and then load
zi "ALASM",or whatever you have, and type
the following:

  This little thing is needed so that our neck-
devr write to disk number one.

to numerous requests from players. It will work
it, if you select "New" in the start menu

to fight, in short, stuck somewhere, then
you can “transcend” this level (or
