In magazines and newspapers (which appeared here)
there are a lot of interesting articles and developments. For example
how to connect RAM on IBM SIMMs to SPECCY ХMb; what
what FIDO is and how to access it (on SPECCY); why
most people don't know a single computer,
except IBM PC; a variety of developments and articles.
I advise you to read the coolest publications, I spent
about 15 hours to read all these magazines and
newspapers.
Here are the latest news taken from various
sources (newspapers, magazines, conversations...):
X-Trade released the 1st issue of the new magazine
Spectrum Expert. According to the authors, they created
a new type of protection that cannot be copied on PC and Amiga,
which they are going to use in issue 2.

Zx-Net news: organized and debugged
echoconference between St. Petersburg and Moscow. Shipping

News from Copper Feet. Alexey Mednonogov
successfully defended his course work. She became
game "ELITE", adapted for PC.
The best beta tester of St. Petersburg G-Soft
broke (in the sense, passed both parts of "Black
Crow" in just two weeks. I want them all at once
reassure: the game is not so small anymore, and faster
It is unlikely that anyone will be able to pass it. ;) Game
Several people passed by, replacing each other, with
breaks only for sleep and eating.
Now about the chronology of versions of CV from Vyacheslav
Mednonogova:
"1.00 is a test beta version. Just in case
I made it impassable (otherwise hackers again
they would break it and blame all their glitches on me
:))). It's amazing that only six of them were traded.
pieces (although the instructions clearly say about
need for exchange). Two reached level 12 -
and broke off
1.01 - release version, fully passable
(if you know how to play ;) Everything about it has been fixed
users reported.
1.01A - a) fixed a glitch with prohibited shipments
on "B:" (damn, no one noticed for a long time); b) Talabrook
accidentally named Warlock(fixed).
1.01B - a) sometimes it was possible to build fences
where it is not allowed (fixed); b) G-Soft found
glitch that makes it easier to develop spells (fixed)
All 1.01x are marked as 1.01 (version number - in
description). First and second discs from any version
1.01x are compatible with each other. However, shipments are not
compatible (due to the fact that the shipment includes
physical addresses of some subroutines).
No other versions are expected."
A version of "Black Raven" for 3.5 discs has been released
inches.
Copper Feet is currently busy writing
additional levels, so look forward to the continuation
"Black Crow"!
A price has been set for a graphic adventure in the style
Dizzy "The Wizard of Oz". Alexey Legotin
plans to collect only 500 rubles (new) for it.
But so far there hasn't been enough

We are experiencing the peak of lack of money in BOLD.
Everyone's savings have run out, their earnings have dropped,
In short, the crisis is in full swing. People stopped inter-

We have some ideas about game development,
but for this you need at least a few people
capable of doing something, doing something alone
cool bummer, maybe it’s Vyacheslav
Mednonogov ..... ........
I made a couple of adaptations for my screw, I found
several immortalities, fixed major glitches in
game STALKER. Hacked a couple of games.........
True, there are some ideas, but talk about
It's still too early for them...
