Toys - From the editor: 2017 was a very eventful year.

 2017 was a very rich year in events─
tiya.

   The beginning of the year, as usual, was quite
sluggish and measured. Mostly new game─
foreign products pleased us with new products
Spectrumists are fans of the AGD designer.
Although there were games on their own engine─
ke, which stood out positively on
background "design". There was even a game
ATM Turbo 2 (baseconf ZX-Evo), released 
FlashZX literally at the very beginning of January. 
   April gave us a demo version of Battle
Toads from the same FlashZX and long awaited 
remake of Dizzy VII:Crystal Kingdom Dizzy by
DrBars and company. 
   And then the developers, rested and
having gained strength, as they agreed. Quantity─
your new games released every month,
everything increased. There was also Hyperkill (a la
Cybernoid), and a very unusual arcade game "Three 
octopuses" from kas29, and a beautiful arcade game with 
classic gameplay of "The Incredible"
Shrinking Professor" and visual demo 
short stories "Rusted Souls" under ATM (work on
it resumed after a year-long re─
ditch). In short, everyone could choose a game for themselves
to taste.
   To our greatest regret, on July 24th we
lost Rindex - one of the main ones─
TivistsRussianDizzy movement. With him
after leaving, activity among Dizzy business subsided,
and the section on the forumzx-pk.ru dedicated to
under DizzyAGE, one might say, he bent. U
Denis had a complex character, someone was with 
him in a tense relationship, but underestimate him─
to understand the significance of this person for our
community is not possible. We won't miss you─
come on, friend.
   Enough about the sad stuff.
   On September 30th, "The Sword of
Ianna" A game with very beautiful graphics, 
a bunch of animations, somewhat complicated controls─
influence and deep gameplay. And to vla─
dealers in classic 48 specs could use it
enjoy, this game was even released on
special cartridges.
   The end of October turned out to be particularly rich in
events.
   An interactive book was born -
adventure game "An Unexpected Journey" from
STD. The game came out completely imbued with humor─ 
rum and also nicely designed graphics─
chesically  An article about the "Unexpected" engine
travel" you can read in this 
number.
   There was a competition for games in BASIC, which
gave us some very interesting
games:
  - "Mickey" is the game that took 2nd place.
This is a good transfer and a little rethinking─
bringing pocket games to our platform.
  - “Cave” is a real, full-fledged board─
former in pure BASIC, in which the author
managedcompact more than a hundred rooms!
It’s a pity, it’s a little difficult to play because of the creepiness─
bad brakes, and the “turbo” only gets in the way.
  - "Abduction" - another adventure book─
ra.This time it's a transfer of a real book,
almost no graphics, but that doesn’t help
less interesting.
  - "Sokoban" is the winner of the competition. Very
nice implementation of the famous puzzle
in BASIC.
   Interview with the author of "Mickey" - Sergio -
you can also read in this issue.
   And at the end of November the studio "Mojon Twins"
made itself known again and released toys─
ku "Fase Bonus The Game" on your engine
"MK2" and in your own favorite style: "assemble
a bunch of identical objects in a huge car─
those dodging monsters." Guys that's it
They also make games, which is also nice.

 In short, 2017 turned out to be a good year for
of our platform. On my own behalf I can wish everyone
even more inspiration for developers, everyone
players - more free time, which─
we could dedicate it to Speccy, and to everyone
to the rest - good luck and good mood :)
