Date of birth: 12/10/1982 Place of birth: Kambarka Place of residence: Izhevsk Age: 17 years; data as of February 2000, ; because once a year INCREMENT occurs ; this value. Passport data: ok :) Membership card: Brutal Creators Group. Issued: recently. Other data: yes. Dry information, isn't it? And as for SPECCY, from 1982 to 1992 I didn’t touch it and didn’t have any the slightest idea of its existence. O computers, however, for this I managed to find out the period of time (from a friend PC appeared, which one - I don’t even remember, c monochrome display (this fact I remember), and, naturally, I went to him to use games). Parents, of course were informed about the delights computer toys :*) ... Early morning December 12, 1992. Sleep left me as I lay in bed. I opened my eyes lazily: I don’t want to go in a wood carving circle! Peep him for leg! Suddenly he comes into the room a solemn procession consisting of members of my family. Yes, today is the day birth! Then they handed me a box. - What is this!? - I asked. - Computer. "Companion". - !?.. Why in such a small box? I saw a friend's computer big, how did he get here?... Right here only the keyboard... - No, this is a computer. - :) - Get dressed, go to a club, go to school... And then you study it. - >:-E 'ny circle... Then there were the standard problems c connection to TV, first attempts at full Lamera load the game. Grand Prix Situlator 2:How to launch game? Press "1". On the screen: "Driver 1 - COMPUTER? (U/N)" - Yes, yes, I play on the computer! Press "2"... Press "3"... - How to launch it? Why is she stupid asks questions? Let's go through all the buttons. O-o-o!!! Launched! The cars are moving!!! Where joystick? Yeah, here it is, let's taxi now... :-O They are already driving while the joystick was looking... Well, never mind, let's take control! How cool I drive! Onlythe cars are bad obey, a lot of effort is spent on pressure to the joystick! Right now I’ll drive through the “bag” (so a puddle of oil on the road was dubbed.. This due to inexperience...). Damn, it didn't work out. Well, on the next lap... No, damn it!... :) These were the first impressions o ZX-SPECTRUM. It was in the second grade. I remember once before going to school, I was going to look at a curiosity almost the entire male half of the class... Even it became difficult to breathe in the room:) Everyone I didn't manage to play it. Since It takes a long time to load a new game from the tape, I unanimously decided not to “reset” DIZZY-4... Hmm.. In general, except for me and no one played close friends. :( :( :) Year, it seems, 1995. Speccy already had competitor who persistently selected gamers. "DENDY, DENDY, everyone is playing." Yes, DENDY seduced me then too gamer soul. Beautiful (as then it seemed) graphics, colors not"merge" dynamic games, music during the game!!! Isn't this a gamer's paradise? And "prefix" was purchased. "Companion" was forgotten, hands at first clumsily, and then mactepcu "crumpled" what was called a “joystick” (where is the stick, interesting). But time passed, games "went through" one after another, standard cheats were detected, guessed password's. But you can’t do everything time to game! Increasingly out of the box "get" SPECCY. A desire appeared make the game yourself. Development has begun BASIC. We are growing up, though. DENDY gradually died. 1997, 1998 - opening of LASER BASIC. This was the limit of what was possible reach at ZX-SPECTRUM 48k when loading from tape recorder. Assembler was rejected by me due to lack of literature (for me, of course). Intellectual (from the user's point of view) growth, only here Problems gradually began to arise purchasing “good” software. That I was not happy with what was on sale, or there was no sale itself. For some time I visited the "computer circle". There stood ZX-SPECTRUM 48k c drives (!) and there was a “newer” one software than on cassettes. But we visited the circle mostly young gamers who don't have computers at home, and the teacher has almost none knewBASIC.Everything that I managed to learn there - TR-DOS at the user level. From bitter experience I recognized (and remembered for the rest of my life) the team FORMAT (I even thought of writing in quotes a couple of characters). This is how one of the c drives died games. Some others turned out to be shabby zero track:( ... Visit This "mug" has stopped. BFebruary 1998I moved to study at another school. Summer 1998 after quite abundant programming in LASER BASIC a terrible question arose before me: a Why am I blabbering here, if 1. Nobody needs my software. 2. I am not familiar with any spektrumist. 3. It’s unlikely that I can improve the quality your programs without going over assembler, but I don’t know how to write in it. 4. Difficult to get software. 5. Yes, and "Kompash" is already buggy. 6. Or maybe SPECTRUM died? The conclusion was simple: it's time to blame PC. Even purchased several numbers PC'nogo gaming magazine GAME.EXE. True, purchase рС (no, it's better PC, laziness switching the font) is a trivial matter, expensive. If NO MONEY, then there is no PC. However, sometimes things happen in the world fateful accidents (or not accidents, or something else?). Autumn-winter 1998 in that very new class, in the new Spektrumist was discovered at school!!! This the moment represents the beginning The resurrection of the Spectrum in my mind. There are still people who care about ZX. ZX-VIRUS (as it used to be called PIXel) had at home ZX-Spectrut 128k (Peptadop 128, as it turned out later). Ha Speccy 128 was It would be very interesting to take a look. Such a case introduced himself. ZX-VIRUS showed me several demos... with music (not beep'erska!), playing simultaneously with action on the screen, and what kind of action action!!! The chair I sat on during the viewing, he knew his business well, and I didn’t fall from it, although the shock wave emanating from Peptadop'awas very strong. it was thunder. It was a thousand blows lightning. It was a storm of feelings. It was COOL!!! A vague idea was born that Speccy is still alive,and remains mainly on fans of himself. Indigenous, spontaneous change in consciousness in relation to Spectrum. Its consequence and completion THE TRANSITION was the purchase instead of PC (money never accumulated) computer Profi Concurrent 512k(February 1999), and later - and monitor"ELECTRONICS - 201"(summer 1999). The beginning of studying assembler has taken place bealso in the summer of 1999,as a result of which game G. P. SIM 2was finally broken, a The time counter is disabled. That's how it was completed the game, in which throughout 6 local players have been “cutting” for years. Joining the group VishSoft, which was later renamed Brutal Creators took place in January 2000. I can’t analyze this fact yet due to the fact that this happened completely recently, and there are no special consequences had :) Well, that's all, in a nutshell. :-) P.S. It was very nice to have a monologue with to those who read all this.
