   Игра какая-то странная... Или я что-то
в ней недопонял.  Бегают людишки, которые
в тебя стреляют, летают птички типа лебе-
дей,  которых можно отстреливать и попол-
нять количество очков. И, собственно, всё
на этом и заканчивается. М-да, захватыва-
ющий сюжет...  Чем-то эта тупорылая стре-
лялка  напоминает безуспешный штурм боль-
ницы в Будёновске. Тоже много шума, а нет
никакого толку. Смысл, по-моему,заключа-
ется в необходимости продержаться опреде-
лённое количество времени в живых.       
                                         























                                         
   In short, if it weren’t for Kempston’s support
mice, then this program would only be suitable
to demonstrate what not to do
games. I ask the authors not to be offended for such
unflattering words addressed to their brainchild, work
which took a lot of time. Well not that one
this game that will reach the top hit
parade!

   Another one that’s either logical or not
what an interesting demo version of the game. On-
recalls something about the game "KLUXER", introducingThe demo version of which was in DEJA VU9.
But here the meaning is slightly different: it is necessary from
available at hand, choose the largest
quantity, which will have a positive effect on
number of points. The choice is made on-
by moving the cursor (moves only left-
right) on one of the objects and click on
fire. Everything that is useful in your “field”
currently available (openable
the picture borders on the object) - disappears -
Yes and your picture opens. Computer
also opens the picture, but it’s not better
see: a computer with a sad
"GAME OVER" inscription.                    
                                         


 At subsequent levels, observations begin
be given all sorts of jokes like: for several
the screen goes blank for a few seconds, and then, after
formation of the image, you can be surprised
the phenomenon of observing that all the things you have removed
objects are back in their places, and the score is
same as at the beginning of the level. This is a joke
like this ;-) And here it’s not at all necessary,
so that only you meet such bummers -
lis - the computer may have similar problems
arise.  In short, we'll be looking forward to it
wait for the full version of the game and then we’ll delay-
for real! Mister Beeper! When on-
writing texts for the game remember the color
rite of ourUkrainian language!           
                                         
   The game is also notable for the fact that everything
its texts will have to be written in Ukrainian
In the Indian language. Uzbeks - hang yourself! Now,
as can be seen from new projects and programs,
the fashion is coming to make software nationally
language. Hmmm, from one extreme (this is when-
yes, everything was done in English) let's throw-
to another - we write everything in our native language.
So, those who are not very advanced in development or intuition
tions to Russians, Moldovans and other unholy
llamas will have a hard time ;)

 Hello everyone! I decided to tell you here
about this buggy product. Manage in this
Deme you will have to do this in the following way:    
 - Kempston Joystick;                    
 - Sinclair II;                          
 - Q, A, O, P, M;                            
 - Kempston Mouse and other rodents.      
   There are also hot buttons:          
 - Caps SHift - include unit in a group;   
 - Symb SHift - the same thing only by XOR;
 - Z - turn on the radar;                   
 - Fire - go to the place where you are-stay on the radar at the moment;       
 - Z - exit to the place where you climbed
   to the radar.                              
 - X is a special key for the raft and
   carrier (in short, unloading a unit);   
 - C - set up patrol.               
 - F - Fast mode (well, it’s really buggy -
   button);                          
 - V - removing the group;                     
                                         























                                         
     Some technical information.

should be in "Command&Conquerer"-like-
new games: construction/sale of buildings and everything
this...                                 
 - Digital Effects with output port selection
 - new sprites;                        
 - intro+final cut;                      
 - maybe animation between levels;  
 - scrolling across the zone two times faster; 
 - improving computer intelligence;      
 - 40 levels according to Real-Time scenario (long
   go explain!);                       
 - many, many Firm CHeats etc. etc.

   Hi-wa, friends! As you already understood, this
demo of a new real-time strategy that
promises to be cooler than "ChV-1" as
at least two parameters - intelligence
computer and speed.             
   At this stage, a small part of the graphics
taken from the above Copper product
Feet'a, and the big one was drawn by the author himself -
mi.  Since in this part of the computer
creativity they have not yet advanced
sufficient level, then perhaps with
gfx will help Panda of BIS/RusH, but we
I don’t know how long this process will take
no one. Therefore, the release of the full version of the toy
will depend primarily on him,
because, judging by the speed of the demo release,
versions, the author of this product is codedat cosmic speeds :-) (six months
work, of which a month and a half is nothing
was not done - and the result is in front of you).   
 And secondly, there is a need for
our assessment of this program, wishes and
comments that we simply NEED
send to the addresses below.      
   The authors will not be like some
from the sceners who, after the release of demos
product, stated that the full version
will only come out if there is a sufficient amount
quality of positive responses from TV viewers

from this.  But WHAT it will be depends
ONLY from you! All design proposals
well, the structure of the game, all the various convenient
lotions, etc. - in short, about what YOU
would like to see in the full version - MUST-
IN POLOR will be considered and, if possible,
implemented in the game. Write! We are waiting...
