┌---------------------------------------┐ │░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ Discussion ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│ └---------------------------------------┘ Once upon a time, our newspaper covered chickpea theme "Demo Construction". On this topic you- affected not only the residents of Minsk, but also Bobruisk vat. And now an opinion has come on this water for Brest residents. (C) IMPERIO In this article you can get an opinion Brest residents about the “products” of creative activity telosity of the Sinclairists. I won't go into details about how I did it DELTA in LPRINT12, and I won’t tell how to switch memory banks and where to put the interrupt vector, but only I'll try to express my opinion about whether demo-making is necessary at all?.. First I would like to say a couple words about game demos. Basically, in the demo Games - sometimes it's nice to play. Example this could be PARADISE LOST demoandBLACK RAVEN demo. But the game demo should released when about 70% is ready games, not 5 or 10. Some demos came out quite a long time ago, but the toys are still day no. And some guys guess and several demo versions of one toy release (I won’t say who). Well imagine this situation - it rings Vasya Pete: - Hello, Petro! Listen, I have one there is a cool toy, "COLOBOCK IN AFRIKA" it's called, but the demo version is 0.2 for now dated 07.27.97. - Ah, I know. Of course there will be a toy cool, but here’s the July 29th version for me 0.312 was sent, there is a different font, but in a couple of days they promised version 0.354 send a kolobok, the kolobok is already there will be, and not stand still... There is no point in continuing this dialogue any further. log, I hope it’s clear to everyone that game demos undoubtedly needed, but they need to be released, when the game is already nearing completion, and then not in the nth quantity. Well, now, directly about demo building. Gone are the days when everyone who has just started studying assembler, sat down to write a demo (almost all probably went through this). After watching These are the kind of dems I just wanted to bleat...somewhere or to someone. Well, well now, in my opinion, every fourth person is waiting new demo to check out its coolness, and sometimes (now very rarely) and leftism. Some people say demomaking no one needs it, but that's it demo-making and shows how much more the SPECTRUM scene is alive because the demos are done on enthusiasm, not on desire earn more $. ... I recently found myself in this situation: I got a bunch of guests who just know the name of my computer ("BYTE") and started asking me for something for them showed. Well, I decided to load them with MORTAL KOMBAT, so that they drag along. Uploaded I start playing, questions begin: - Oh, who is this guy running around? - What kind of game is this? - Is there anything better?.. Okay, I press RESET and start recording demo demos: ILLUSION, INSANE, BRAIN CRASH, PAROXYZM, EYE ACHE, 7th REALITY... The guests' reaction instantly changes - to - satisfactory sounds begin to be heard they seem to enjoy the exclamations. And it's not despite the fact that almost all of them worked on IBM. Therefore, people,do more cool things dem, don't rivet a bunch of lousy toys, after all, the capabilities of SPECCY are determined by the name but the steepness of the effects, and not the speed of movement racket usage in "ARKANOID 9 turbo diesel". And as for those who don’t like the look If you want to play demos, then simply don’t write them down. And most importantly - don’t run into anyone - those, then from morning to evening with your teeth- We'll be fine.
