  Old games don't mean bad. Alone

  Yes, yes!  Don’t be surprised that under the name
The price of this famous toy costs two
copyright... I'm so impudent. I took it to-
wrote his name to the name of a well-known company.
  The fact is that there are two options for "live-
to turn an old toy: take a cassette tape
this and adapt it to the disk (but here
co-authorship is doubtful...), or also
translate into your native language.                 
  I went even further in my research.
But it's better to put things in order...                
       
            
            
            
            
            
            
            
            
            
 This game was released a long time ago. This-
hour, not just month, but also year to set
difficult.                                   
  And it all started with the fact that in
SPECTROFON'e  published a disk version
this game... There was a flaw in it:
items created during the game are not
were stored in the shipped block. Program
was equipped with its own loader and went united
monoblock.                           
  In order not to bother with other people's codes,
I took the cassette version and remade it
under the disk (as needed)... This was my per-
great adaptation, so don't judge too harshly,
that loading is carried out through the screen...
  All this did not take that much time -
no, so I stopped there
difficult. At that time my main hobby was
lo - translation of programs into Russian. I made up my mind
me and MARSPORT "russianize".                  










 But then a surprise awaited me. In English
In the Russian version, logic is built on a play on words.
Those.  mix    (lute) and 
(daisy) and it turns out... 
(lead suit or simply armor-
years). If we translate everything literally, then who
anyone in their right mind would think that by mixing
flower and lute will you get a bulletproof vest?!.
And this is not an isolated case.                
  Realizing that I am violating copyrights, I
took up the task of reworking the plot. Justification
it served me that if you don't own
English perfectly, then after 3 - 5
minutes, you will be forced to abandon MARSPORT
to the far shelf. But the game is quite interesting
lashes and does not deserve such treatment
to yourself.                                     
 I started with that - 
th that I removed 
all English 
phrases, 
and in their places 
Russians inserted.  
New values 
have nothing 
in common with their 
predecessor - 
mi and use-                          
not in combination with each other
letters, but according to the logic of plot development.        

  The changes also affected sprites.  Some-
I had to redraw some of them.
(We didn’t graduate from art schools, so
sorry if anything is illegible...) 

  The result is a hybrid. But such
which will also be of interest to those who have played
proprietary version, and those whoMARSPORTvi-
dit for the first time. Labyrinth and logic remain
were the same, and the location and use
The items are new.                  
               So that those who don't get bored
 played the English version,
 I added one more trick -
 ku (in Russian, it means software)
 RUSSIAN...) - floors and secto-

 niya, which is somewhat confusing
 even those who already have
 English scheme
 MARSPORT... Control
 remains the same, but for
 newbies I will explain...      

1, 0, SPACE, C/Shift --- Shooting, "FIRE"

  That's it.                              
  There are also boxes that contain something,
pencil cases into which you can put extra
items, as well as faucets and garbage disposals
tanks. In mixers you can create new
good objects, and garbage... well, that's understandable.
Lockers are installed next to the doors
"DOOR."  You need to put a pass in them or
any other item serving for
access to this room.                 
        
             
             
             
        
             
             
             
             
             
 More details about the BRAND version of the game
you can read inZX-FORUM number 3,on
page  110.  As for my ver-
these... Here you will have to constantly do
footnotes on Russification.                    

  The goal of the game is to get out of Mapconopta!    

  Good luck to you! See you on EARTH!!!     

 R.S. A modest inscription before the start of the game
"POKES ?(Y/N)". If you answer "Y", then you
Various monsters will not bother you...    

 R.P.S.  MARSPORT is recommended to run
in 48 mode,  and not 128 Kb. Because at 128 for

a train of pixels that is easy to see. This is not a glitch

game, there were no 128 cars andspeeches...  

 R.R.P.S. The translations clearly show
boyish and sometimes vulgar manner
presentation. I repeat: this was done a long time ago,
many years have passed... Since then I have
