 "New building"  can be understood as new
construction, but another truck is also possible
tovok: replenishment of the ranks or new recruits
filling the building...                        
   Interpret it as you want, but we are under it
title we will publish articles about new
games and projects that are under development
boots or already released.                   
   Alas, but especially today
nothing to imagine: all the programs that-
we have or are protected by copyright
rights (formally), are either outdated, or
have already been reviewed in other electronic publications
niyah.                                     
   For the future I would like to contact
game creators: If you want to make non-
big announcement for your game, send yours
development and demo versions for us.If the game
is worthy, then we will definitely publish it
we rejoice...

   Well, today we will look at two games:
"Civilization"- демо-версия  и  "MARBLES".
Итак...                                   





















   Большинство,  если не все, уже играли в
"CIVILIZATION"  на IBM. Поэтому, нет нужды
рассказывать  о  ней подробно. Для тех же,whoever is not familiar with this “monster”, let’s try -
explain...                           
   It's quite difficult to determine the genre of this
games. It is necessary to build cities and roads (as in
SIM CITY), conquer new lands
(GENGHIS KHAN, CONQUEST, OVERLORD), lead
scientific work and research (UFO) and all-
other things to do with managing your
civilization (nothing comes to mind here,
except for DICTATOR  and KINGDOM of GRAIN)... And
all this is combined in "CIVILIZATIONS"!        
The only thing missing is arcade animation...
Everything else is there!                       
   And so, now ownersSPECCY can
plunge into the World of Creation and Destruction!
Vitaly Kubekin made an excellent con-
Version of this game from IBM to ZX.           
 We were unable to contact the author, but
I think he won't mind the fact that the demo
a version of his masterpiece was included in the appendix on
our magazine.  We found her in INTERNET -
on a website accessible to EVERYONE...               
 From the "introductory speech" before the game
it follows that work on the program has begun
in September 1996, and a demo version was released
in 1997 (!). More than a year "Civilization" su-
exists on SPECTRUM,and many people talk about it
they have no idea! The author writes that if he
the game will be popular, and
also with sufficient financial support-
he will release the full version (read in
intro before the game). But how can you say
about responses, etc., if there was no advertising
us, no announcements? NOTHING !!!              
   Naturally, the full version is never
came out (according to our data). But if you are interested
interested in the game, then you can contact
by  - Kubekin Vitaly - by phone
well:

   Now a few words about the game itself.    
   There are two games on IBM :
"CIVILIZATION 1" and "CIVILIZATION 2".On ZX
they are combined in one! It should be noted
that the “best” is taken...

 Number of civilizations ....... 22     
City names ............ 345

 MARBLES from BLADE SOFTware - a game that
heaven, just like "Civilization" roots
goes to IBM.                             
MARBLES can confidently be called a "Game
