          Many have been waiting for this game!          
                                          
       Although we might not have waited...        
                                          
But  someone  especially  smart placed in the third
volume of game descriptions from the publisher VA-PRINT
translated  article  from a Western magazine with
review of this program. The article wrote
about  some fundamentally new concept,
used in the game, about a small computer-
nom little man (see the name of the game), who
one could control command  orjust  watch  for  him  life in your
computer.

not  laziness,  but  only  in April this year
appeared  first  high-quality disk

LITTLE  COMPUTER PEOPLE is probably not even a game
ra, but a whole research project. From-
parts  this even resembles such a well-known
disgusting as TNE REGENERS, but only partly
you...                                     
                                          

                                          
So,  on  some time is in store for you
the fate of  god in a separate house and above
an individual person. He's trying to de-
do your daily  things: charging,
watchingTV, walking the dog, etc.,
but then you appear and force the poor thing -
gu  in  forced  okay eat, drink,
call on the phone,  rejoice  and play
fuck... And he will do it all unquestioningly
do... And who has it easy now!?          
                                          
                                          
Input commands occurs from the keyboard in
top  parts of the screen   yes  also on
English. This is where everything opens up
essence games  - vocabulary study, and,
as a consequence, getting  more and more
more power overyour little friend
gom(?). Starting research  your divine
possibilities,  pay attention to the following
things,  like   telephone,  printing  machine
(WRITE   ME LETTER),  computer COMMODOR
(PLAY  COMPUTER),  refrigerator, gramophone and
piano (PLAY PIANO). Try to force
little man  feed dog, make a gym
nastik, wash the dishes or go to bed. EU-
whether  after  input your command,little man
affirmatively  nodded  head, this is obvious
a sign that he understood your desire and
is in a hurry  to complete it. Otherwise,
try  choose other words and understand
tiya.

On  my opinion  LITTLE COMPUTER PEOPLE -
this is undoubtedly a masterpiece, but play it
long  you  most likely will not succeed. Game
explicitly non-deterministic, but not enough
voluminous and complex.                       
                                          
Our  programmers should think about
writing  something similar, but more
on a global scale. Imagine a game
in  which  you  can create and educate
your own charactertrain him
manners and  principles  behavior,  and then
upload  to  floppy disk. What to do next?
Set him against another character, done-
to your friends, and tearing their stomachs from
laughter, follow   stupid  dialogues of two
computer glitches.

Солидно,  не  правдаis it? I didn’t want to turn on
go to the REVIEW of this program, since the first
its  disc version appeared in the city from
comparatively long ago. But after I arrived
the second, and  then the third version, I decided
to illuminate all this diversity with the goal of us-
put the user on the right path.     
                                          
                                          
And  what is LOST CAVES?
In brief  this  can be described as
coolly made BOULDER DASH. The idea is old,
like the world:  dungeon,  labyrinth,  diamonds,
monsters and  the inevitable stones falling on
head. It's true this time it's all done
very, very solid!                    
                                          
                                          
Graphics, as befits games of this genre
ra, block.  But at the same time, your movements
hero  quite smooth. Sprites composition-
laying the game field, quite large (4 per
4  familiarity), but with this is qualitative
drawn.  Especially made me happy me
stones that don’t just stupidly fall from you
honeycombs, and at the same time they spin!          
                                          
By the way, it is important note that in LOST
CAVE you can move down and run away from the stone,
standing directly above your head. In some
some old examples of similar games in such
cases immediately  after the start of downward movementthe stone  cracked the skull of the unfortunate creature
diamond collector.                           
                                          
The whole game  is divided into several levels.
To pass the current level, you need
collect a certain number of diamonds and enter
treasured door.                           
                                          
 And now about the main thing - about disk versions!
                                          
                                          
                                          
                                          
The first version, which came to Samara, was made
Lana in Novosibirsk  group  DIAMOND
SOFTWARE. In principle, the version was not bad,
but “trainers” are completely absent from it -
whether.                                       
                                          
                                          
The second version, from PHANTASY, has appeared
how many  months later. In this version
there was  the opportunity to get  infinite
number of lives, but due to cooler INTRO
The game size has increased by 9 sectors. You say
small thing...  Yes  no!  Except  the fact that the game
increased in  sizes,  possibility disappeared
opportunity to “enjoy” a branded picture, so
how she appeared only for a split second, and
then overwritten with the output text.       
                                          
                                          
                                          

                                          
And here is the finale (or maybe not?) of this use
torii  - version from CODE BUSTERS!There is
everything a real “gamer” dreams of. Ma-
small size of the game, two “trainers”, and also a game
ra  and  INTRO are loaded into memory immediately, which
definitely  speeds up the process.  Exactly this
I recommend this version for you to purchase!
