CDS> Well, since all interviews begin with the same thing
millet, then we will not change traditions. So how did you get on
Spectrum?
GPV> Random.
CDS> More specifically.
GPV> I saw it in the camp, and then I came home and bought it
to yourself. It was a homemade forty-key Spectrum, but
Tom it burned because I passed 20 kilos through it
volts Then I bought myself a Kvant-BK.
CDS> And after Kvant?
GPV> Well, then I bought myself a disk drive, and then a ZX-NEXT.
CDS> In what year did you get on the Spectrum?
GPV> At the end of 1993.
CDS> And what did you think of the Spectrum?
GPV> Well, at first he didn’t seem very good to me, but then I realized that
this is cool.
CDS> How did you get into LOSW?
GPV> Well, it's a long story. When I was still a lamer, I often wanted
went to the market and one of the LOSWs gave me one Informkom'ovs-
I wrote a book, after which I read and studied it for a long time, and then
they invited me to LOSW. And realizing that they are all sixes,
I left LOSW.
CDS> When did you buy your modem?
GPV> Immediately after I got into LOSW.
CDS> Why couldn’t we hear you online?
GPV> But I didn’t register with ROBERT.CDS> What were your coolest jobs?
GPV> Well, all my works are at my home, and the most lame ones are COMING
SOON BORDER MANIA, UPRISE and a reader for the newspaper ANIGDODES.
CDS> What are you going to do now?
GPV> Well, a lot of things, it will be software, enough
but high quality.
CDS> Are you going to buy yourself another computer?
GPV> While I have a buggy Pentagon board, otherwise I’m more
I don’t intend to buy anything for myself, except for AMIG.
CDS> Which one?
GPV> 1200th.
CDS> Are you going to leave the Spectrum?
GPV> No!
CDS> Why don't you make a game?
GPV> Well, this is already part of my plans and I already have some ideas.
CDS> Why?..
GPV> Because.
CDS> Yes, indeed, “why”. Okay, do you consider yourself
cool coder?
GPV> Vrenya will show. Well, if we take Moscow, then let's say this: one of
first. But if so, then in Moscow there are three coders of normal and
I'm not the worst.
CDS> And who are these three coders?
GPV> Let's not dwell on personalities.
CDS> Are you going to go to ENLIGHT'97?
GPV> Well, I would go and I’m even ready to code something, but
I don't have music or graphics. And I love REALTIME, not ANI-
mation.
CDS> Well, why not, because on ENLIGHT almost everything is from sprite
Comrade
GPV> WellI’m not some kind of PROGRESS.
CDS> How long did it take you to learn to code?
GPV> Three years.
CDS> Would you like to learn how to write music?
GPV> I'm afraid I have no hearing, and no time, since all the time
goes to coding.
CDS> What was your very first game?
GPV> Well, this is a very interesting question. It was so small
toy, a little man ran and ate dots over time.
CDS> Have you studied BASIC?
GPV> Yes. I even took courses, but that was before the Spectrum. I de-
I found toys in the camp and for some reason everyone was drawn to them.
CDS> How much did you do in LOSW?
GPV> COMING SOON BORDER MANIA, but I left there almost immediately
left, I didn’t sit there for a long time.
CDS> Why did you agree to go to LOSW?
GPV> Well, I didn’t have music, but there was a musician and all that.
Moreover, I later began to code better than everyone there.
CDS> Could you make an intro like TITUS's in the NAVY game
SEALS A,B?
GPV> Yes!
CDS> Why don’t you want to do something with cool effects-
mi?
GPV> Well, why, I wouldn’t mind, but I have no ideas. Maybe
I’ll even encode something on ENLIGHT.
CDS> By the way, what do you think about the demos from ENLIGHT?
GPV> Shit! But the only thing I liked was EYE
ACHE.
CDS> What about the music?
GPV> I liked the music.
CDS> And the graphics?GPV> Graphics too. Not bad.
CDS> Where did you get programs for your Spectrum?
GPV> Well, at first I bought from Valera, and then when connections appeared
and the modem, then I started taking everything for free.
CDS> How did you find out about the modem?
GPV> From LOSWs.
CDS> What game did you see first on Spectrum?
GPV> Well, it was in the camp and a long time ago, I don’t remember.
CDS> How did you find out about assembler? For example, I'm in deep
As a child I thought that all programs and games were written in
BASIC.
GPV> Well, in general, I already knew him, and then I bought a book and started
study. And I also thought that all programs were written in
BASIC.
CDS> What do you think, is it really possible to make DOOM on the Spectrum?
GPV> I have not dealt with this issue and therefore cannot say exactly
but... But if I take this seriously, I will even be able to do
it's cooler than STALKER.
CDS> Why don't you do DOOM?
GPV> First I need to write what I have in mind, and then
To do DOOM.
CDS> What about hardware for the Spectrum?
GPV> Well, it’s probably expanding little by little. But since now
p.o. Everyone writes for money, so the prospects are not great.
CDS> What do you think, if ROBERT stops making modems, or
ALEX RESEARCH will leave Spectrum, what will happen to ZX-Net?
GPV> There are two options: either someone elsewill start making modems
and someone else will lead the network, or it will all fall apart by
damn mother!
CDS> How long do you think you will stay on the Spectrum?
GPV> Until the last.

Dear GPV, despite all the democracy of our state,
nogo system, people can have very different opinions, which in
in some cases they are quite differenti-
In general, however, it should be noted that an individual who openly expresses
showing only disapproval towards those around him, quite noticeable in
their social stratum, people, despite all the attempts of the mass media
restore deep liberalism in society may lead to
themselves rather inadequate actions on the part of the latter, who
which most likely will not follow due to the special benevolence
ty, and following the best traditions of Russian long-suffering
people of the network public, but apparently respect from such pop-
the current of mass cutting will not have the truth. (Who doesn't understand -
read it again :-) )

DUNE 2 HELP
Well, you got to this toy, at a time when we
She got it, and we wish it for you too!
The first thing you need to build is a power plant (well not
break into such a smile, you will build them as soon as
the radar will turn off (and this is the third thing you will need to build),
Well, in short, O-O-Very. a lot).
Second - Spice Refiner, first one, and then another electric
dance. You might think that the point of the game is to build an electrical
growth stations, but I hasten to please you this is not so, the point of the game is to
three radars (JOKE! One is quite enough, and even built-
on the ground (without slabs)), in fact you need to unscrew
the base of those morons who will interfere with your construction of radars.
Well, now we should talk about the first level.
I'm saying...
This is the worst level. Just to check if he's a moron
you. If yes, then you will understand this very quickly. And following our pro-
champagne logic (01/01/1996 3:07) you, since you are reading this
text, MORON. You just need to collect 1000 credit cards. That is, Harve-
I will erase to go 1.5 times. Another piece of advice (given to us one by one) is to drink meth-
less is needed. We got distracted. And about the main thing. Ride a tricycle
nom raskoryak and shoot the heels of the soldiers (preferably nottheirs,
although they are the easiest) and if you have a Sound Blaster (you vulgar)
listen to how they scream.
About the second......
(01/01/1996 3:17)..................MORON.....
...... 2700 credit cards. ... Another piece of advice (something my fingers didn’t hit-
give on the buttons) look you s s s...
About the third.
We need to destroy someone else's base. Build a raskoryak factory and
build more of them on it. And then attack. (Hurray for the Motherland
for Stalin!!!!!!!!??????)
For everyone else (don’t drink so much in front of them) it’s the same,
plus Stalin's order number 277.
P.S.
Built new buildings. It'll give you new wearpons. Translation for
dibila(lov)(lok): build new buildings - get new weapons.
P.P.S.
Surround the bases with cannons in order to repel the attacks of unwanted
tels).
P.P.P.S.
About the palace. For the blue ones (definitely not for the blue ones) it is seductive
yes... locals to the army. Near the greenery he recruits invisible saboteurs.
And among the Reds (categorically not communists) it triggers very destructive
stunning missiles with the precision of drunken Chinese (categorically
We’re not skiers, we’re drunk Indians). Well, now add yours.
1 Jan 3:42
Well, now, if you haven’t been discouraged from playing those drunken ideas,
then let's talk about weapons. I warn you: I'm not drunk and I don't care at all
to jokes. We need to prepare for the session, and here with you... }|=D
Three-wheeled jalopy: yes, it's just a drunken soldier on"Ural" with a sidecar. Run around quickly (drunk), shoot quickly from
pistol The armor is like that of the Ural, you understand. For five people
He'll have enough infantrymen. Java, Java I eat for free...
Quadra: Well, this is a cooler car. In essence this is an evil ensign
on a ZIL-130 with a Kalashnikov assault rifle. This is enough for two and a half
Ural's fault. Hold on tight to the steering wheel, driver...
Tank: oh this is a cool guy T-34. Good armor. Powerful gun
It just shoots slowly. Quadra will be destroyed in three hits. Sco-
grow like a bulldozer. Congratulations! He can crush enemy
soldier, I wish the same for you. And my dear will not know what kind of tanker he was
end...
A healthy tank: cannot be compared with the T-34. The gun is the most powerful. Sco-
growth is the same. The armor is the strongest. The armor is strong and our tanks
fast...
Guards mortar Katyusha: speed is greater than that of tanks, but
less than Zil-130. Beer can armor. But it’s cool
attack the tanks. Large hit radius. When half-time
the bat smears like alkanath. Use Katyushas to combat tan-
kami and turrets, take care from them. Will definitely hit
when the target is far away. And if an enemy tank comes close, then
Khan to her: a dead zone for her weapons. Get this on your nose.
Apple and pear trees were blooming...
The IL-76 plane: no weapons, flies and falls. Engaged in re-
transporting harvesters and military equipment for repairs. Two, three pieces
to youenough. The sky is ours, the sky is our beloved home...
The Su-35 plane: and even flaps its wings. You have delirium tremens.
Manages to drop several bombs on the enemy base. And then also
will ram... the ground. Doesn't need your management. And instead
hearts fiery engine...
Sonic tank: are you ready to listen to Philips? The coolest weapon.
Only blue ones have them. They shoot with ultrasound. Largest radius
actions. Good in attack. And on defense, keep him away from
his base, otherwise he will destroy it. During the attack, block the tank -
mi. Take care of Sonic Tanks. They will serve you well. Three
tanker, three cheerful friends and the end of the fighting machine.
Katyusha, which has rockets with poisonous gas: yes
only for green ones. When it hits an enemy vehicle, it becomes
green technology. This is all bullshit compared to Sonic Tank. La-
Hello, lilies of the valley, bright May...
The healthiest tank: only the Reds have it. The most powerful bro-
nya and two of the most powerful guns. Ahtun! Fire!
Crane: builds a base, the same one that runs on batteries. (see readme3.
hlp).
5 Jan 1996 18:46
Let's talk about buildings.
Base: when you start the game you already have it. Needed to
build other buildings. Battery operated.
Power plant: produces energy for other buildings and batteries
plates.
Spice Processing Factory: Processes spice into credit cards.
Spice is brought there by harvesters.
Factorylight military equipment: makes "Urals", and after the mod-
rnizaii and ZIL-130.
Radar: well, it’s clear. You can put it directly on the ground
without slabs. If there is not enough energy, it turns off.
Barracks: they make soldiers there (is that a word?), one at a time, and then
le modernization in three.
Spice storage: if there is too much spice, it begins to disappear
borrow (you bring it, and there will be no more credit cards). To
return it back and you need to build storage facilities. (WARNING all
it won't give you back the spice.)
Tank factory: builds T-34, tanks with healthy turrets, cranes,
harvesters, Katyushas, sonic tanks.
High technology: makes IL-76 and SU-35
Baikonur Cosmodrome: you can buy everything you can do
themselves at free prices, sometimes even cheaper.
Blue Towers: like the MEPhI Institute. Develops anything new
weapon.
Turrets: just towers with a cannon for guarding (see what-
something higher)
Rocket turrets: I hope the difference is clear?
