                          *** Part 1 ***
                             Winter 1992


        Somewhere back in 1992, I was subscribing to a fashion magazine.
construction sheet and being a person rummaging around in electronics from mo-
from their hands my first computer appears with the post-perestroika name
called "Specialist". Having played enough of this miracle, I began
write programs for a specialist. But the disgusting assembler in the compartment
with b/w graphics 384*256!, quickly killed all the initiatives. Gradually
interest in the specialist began to fade away because... I'm tired of the old games
It was impossible to get new ones. And besides, the aircomputer
the world began to be filled with new names of computers with the coolest
characteristics for those times (zx-spectrum!, Enterprise, Ata-
ri Commodore) plus publications in the technical youth journal of articles on
OS, programs, comparison of platforms, advantages and disadvantages
kah, they pushed me to take a new step forward and make my own
next platform choice. No matter how sad it was to part with
my first creation was a freak, but I still had to do it, and
in the spring of 1993, my own
hand-assembled Spectrum! 


                          *** Part 2 ***
                          For many years 


        Oh, these games, games, and even more games, and even colorful ones...
you. Spectrum-48 took up all my free time! Finished again
chiv with games and realizing that 48kb is only for complete lamers,
the idea was born to buy an improved version of the Spectrum with music
a local coprocessor, a floppy drive, and 128kb or more memory.
During the same period, the very first scorpions appeared on the radio cloud.
And so, having given 5 rubles, I got a scorpion fee. Quickly assembled
That's it, after listening to the music, I began to look for eternal lives. Having collected
thus about 150 eternal lives for games that are nowhere to be found
no codes were given, I gained little experience in working with assem-
Blair on Spectrum. Also played a significant role in the development of the Z80
magic buttonwith a shadow man. And in December 1994 it comes out
my very first musical was released, and in January 1995 it was already a mega-mu-
language demonstration program.
 Having tormented the devpack until the summer, I abandoned everything, but by the end of June
I met Vasil and his Chemnesoft. From him I received
The coolest assembler TasmZ.0!
 Abandoning everything I had to do, I sat down to study graphics. And it lasted
until September '95.
        On September 1, 1995, a new project was started ─ megadema
Fly ALL. Working completely alone, the project was completed on December 1
December 1995. The demo consisted of as many as 10 parts. For Ufa it was
just cool, as Vasil said.

01.96 - 12.96 Work with Vasil, i.e. removing protection from all but-
new council coming to Ufa. Also writing a couple of boots,
converter from sound tracker to digital studio, repair of buggy
prog, coding demos for enlight in St. Petersburg.
        Also during this period a demo version of my project is released
 - game Captain Blood-2 (Black Abyss). This game was pro-
indebted to my favorite game Captain Blood. But unfortunately in
In the future, the game will remain unfinished due to a number of reasons.
depending on me.
        In general, 1996 was the year of the unification of the majority
spektrumistov rushing around with their crazy ideas!
So they joined Chemnesoft: first Davydov Evgeniy (Jedi) then
Sheikh, and only then I joined this detachment. Afterwards he was accepted
Baiderin Misha. Thanks to the Sheikh, a digitizer and a sea of ​​​​cards appearedteen + graphics from Jed and plus code from Vasil and me and in the end
a sea of intros to new software and a sea of new projects.
        In the same year, somewhere in October - December thanks to
Oleg from OLSOFTA + common efforts, we got two issues of Ufa
electronic magazine STAR. The third number was almost ready but it
will not come out in the light of the events taking place against the backdrop of the spectrum
Movskaya life.


                       Death of Chemnesoft.


1. September 1996 - Chemnesoft split into:
                        thansoft + - Vasil
                        thansoft - Misha Golubyatnikov
As always, with the majority of people, I remain loyal to Vasil
2. Agitation of the Amiga by Vasil (he himself will later blame it on the PC)
3. There is a slow winding down of non-software+ activities.

        December 1996 - Jed gets an AmigabO0. It's simple
and especially Vasil are going crazy.
        January 1997 - I get an Amiga 1200. It's simple
fly away!
At the moment, almost no one is doing anything!
New software is not ordered, and if something arrives, I don’t
I'm working on it, Jed doesn't draw and doesn't provide communication with Moscow
through guides with our supplier MAGIC SOFT!
        January 1997 - the Star-3 magazine is being prepared, especially for
magazine I release a propaganda farewell and the best demo from
all that I did, I write articles and advertisements for the magazine, but Oleg from-
gives everythingsources and text to Vasil, thereby killing the magazine.
        Spring 1997 - death of one of the members of Chemnesoft+.
There are plans to release a demo dedicated to the Sheikh, but again everything remains
is only a project.
June 1, 1997 is an unofficial, although real, date of complete
stopping any activity than non-software+.

So my Spectrum life lasted exactly four years!


                        *** Part 3 ***
                         Step into the future


        As sad as it was, I had to make a choice again!
 Amiga?  PC? Macintosh?
And I did it! ........................................................
And now...


                 To be continued in the next issue.


You will find out who switched to what and what they began to do, and in particular
sti what I have done, am doing and will do!
