Дарова тем, кому не жаль время на сие...
Мой отец, когда-то давно (я и сам не
помню), принес в дом Spectrum 48K. До
этого в доме уже был русский комп 'Искра
тарту 1080' на баре отечественно проца
KPS80.Its speed was 2
Mhz, although about what fast is
I had no idea about the action at the time. ZX was
purchased with one game cassette. Vo-
in general, the purchase of the ZX was not a deliberate one for me
step or step of dad, he was just from-
relatively cheap and at that time it was considered
so fashionable... Of course, at first there was interest
I lost it. (What do you want? One cash register)
that's all! And what about BASIS? I didn't then
knew!)
The only thing that saved us was: somehow we
went to my cousin's,
who also had a spec (at this time)
ment he has an Atlon 600 or something like that
spirit). He gave me literature on BASIC
and copied the prog onto cassettes. I started
learn BASIC. It was difficult! Book
was for adults and to understand what is written there
it was correspondingly difficult for pa-
price at 10-11 years old. By the end of training, when
yes, I was able to solve complex problems, I
I still don’t understand how to work with memory :(
I realized: spec is a dead number...
All this lasted long enough until
I didn't get my hands on the book 'HOW'
WRITE A GAME IN ASSEMBLY 2'. Everything is there
it was more accessible, so it was easier to understand
simpler. By that time I had entered technical
nobody and in the group there was a person interested
teresovanny in spec. Thiswas Silver
(now he has a Celeron 600, since he
entered the programmer and time for
no spec :(
Having seen an advertisement for Scorpion in the book and
after reading its characteristics, I salivate
washed the floor, urgently advertised in the newspaper
you bought Scorpion with a lot of bugs
kovs that I have now eliminated almost
everything. But soon there was no progress
grab. The former owner was of little interest -
I used a computer and only knew NEMO.
At this time, according to newspaper advertisements, I
is found by comrade Z-zero. No matter how to him
those around him treated me, but this man
initiated me into what is on the spec-
It’s not just me, but also a lot of people in
other cities and even countries...
I realized: spec is a thing...
A little time passed and I installed it on
Scorpion speakers, COVOX, disk drive
3.5'', mouse... After reading a lot of press,
after listening to many people (thanks to Mr.
SirX, who shares free of charge with
me with software from the Internet and all sorts of
useful advice, what would I do without him?
;), I realized that IBM is not at all the same
prayerful and almighty, as he imagines
advertising it to us. That there are such things as
Windows, Bil Gates,lemer, gamer, info-
com... etc.
I met good people from
other regions and cities: Stanislav
Yudin, Gulyaev Sergey (Hi, macros & all
MSF & Murzilka), Shushkov Alexander (yes
long live XOR and Paragraph), VEL (may all
know that ZX-Pilot rilezzz Хrever), Ze
pagan (where is DEJA VY #0B ?), and many
others...(sorry if I forgot anyone)
Looking at all this...
I understood: spec is a lifestyle, hobby and
thick, thick layer of chocolate... ;)

I've known Graster for a long time. He lives in
same house with Z-zero. Graster - man
art, like me. We even have a situation
proportion: he draws a lot, I draw a lot
lo, but with music it’s the other way around. But let him
he will speak about himself...
* * *
Hello people! And so I sat down (Gras-
ter) to beat Klava at his request
Dear X-mus. Since he's here
becametell about yourself and then to me
you will have to strain your brains a little and immerse yourself
wander into memories. I'll be brief.
I got the spec from something already known
Z-Zero for you. It was a Spectrum-48, but even
from such a low-kilobyte car I
specifically stuck out. I hacked all day long
in everything, drew all sorts of pictures,
tried to write music on WHAM. And then
a wonderful moment came when I
Spec-128 appeared. But it only pissed me off
There was just one thing - there was no AY. I had to
order it from VEL. Auha has come, we
it took an inordinately long time to collect it, but when
it started working, our cries of joy are heard
The whole house was crazy. After some time,
using the limited experience of poking around in plastic
tah and mikruhah, I assembled COVOX! Moreover,
I had to assemble a whole port, because
I didn't have Centronix on my computer at all.
I bought a diskette 3.5 - it became a floppy disk -
It's easier for us. After no more bells and whistles
never been done, such a computer has survived to this day -
nice days and on it I fill this
text.
I'll tell you a little about our exploits.
At first, Z-Zero disfigured various toys -
ki, inserting cheats and all sorts of additives into them
bahi. Then there were such toys as:
mutilated beyond recognition Lode
Runner, then handwritten 56 cle-
current, WOLF-1 - textadventure and
other blizzard. But then we got together
for the production of WOLF-2&3. This was also
text slow-burner, but with graphics
which was drawn by me. The logic of the game is
only powdered, that it's still there
no one probably passed (by the way, me
then the name was not Graster, but Graphics sys-
themes). SUPAPLEX was recently released, first
melting insolently with RS. Honestly speaking,
This game doesn't bother me. Surely
no, our tastes do not coincide with Z-Zero decile
give. But we're going to have a fight with each other
we both love it, so now we’re experimenting
We deal with this type of games. I myself am a lot
I tried to write something of my own, but
Assembler's meager knowledge drove everything
to a dead end. But on the other hand, I disfigured it beyond recognition -
availability of graphics in Exolon and this is very
satisfied. :)
In parallel with all this, another
barking a bunch of all kinds of programs by Z-Zero: you-
sprite maker, sprite compositor
and masks, map builder, etc. And yes
magazine-newspaper SKIMER, which few people
knows.
Now I don’t draw at all, but
I only write music, but that’s not at all
means that I am not Graster, because Graster
decrypted as GRAphics maSTER.
I now have even more Mouzons than
screenshots and fontscombined. What about you
If you want, you can compose a tune in a day (
my record of inspiration), and the screen is good
If you can draw it, it will take a week. By the way-
Ty, X-mus is scattered here with my graphic-
some people ask questions: “Where are you?
Did you get this?!" So now you will
know from where.
I apologize for lying to us-
despite the brevity of my nonsense. This is probably
everything. Nothing else particularly important about
doesn't bother my head. Stay healthy bye!
Graster.
