Stanislav Yudin:                                                 
     Today to one of our spektrumists came to me and brought me
what he he did in 3 (three!!!) days absolutely from scratch. Two days
it took on drawing graphics, a day on code.  Music, really
cut it out from somewhere.  It must be Double Dragon 4. In person
now time has appeared (they kicked me out of the institute and didn’t take me into the army
by sight) and he can get closely involved in the code.                  
                                                                
Game represents from yourself duel for two... Done for now...
just for example one level.

  Vyacheslav  Mednonogov  stated, that someone Igor Maznitsa
going  to port  Black  Crow to some new
super-cool model cellular phone!  (2Mb-ROM, 512Kb-RAM,
screen ~240x200). And rewrite it in Java, make it network
and that's all this is for a month. 3a such a deadline - in order to meet some
exhibition...

  Beta version of RC 2.0 has been released (latest compilation 4.15).
Beta  versions  were distributed  to several people who wished
participate in debugging the system and writing the first modules. If
there are those who still want to participate in the project, welcome then Netmail,
state  what  module you would like to write. Normal
There is no documentation yet, the system is still at the debugging stage,
is only a brief description of some subroutines taken from
sources RC. An example would be the source codes are already completely
written modulePTЗPlayer.  Yesterday Imperio was viciously tested
modular RC system for buggyness ;), downloaded three PTЗPlayers and
forced everyone to play their music (it never occurred to me
came ;), opened RamDisk on 512k and copied files there
;).  Sometimes it crashed ;), it turned out there was a glitch in the RamDisk formatter,
Who is version b4.12 to blame for all the freezes ;).             
                                                                
    The pioneer in writing modules under RC can be considered
Sergey Krinitsin (2:454/11.64), who is almost finished writing
800k disk drivers, the disk is formatted with kilobyte sectors
and when the driver is loaded, the commander sees it as a regular TR-DOS
disk.

 Game PLUTONIA (a demo version of which was in the Spectrophone n22)
According to the latest data - it was completed yet at the end of 1997.
by the authors,  but  by  unclear reasons so and not received
distribution.                                                
    Let me remind you that the game is a tightly licked
adventure from Star Legacy. Almost one to one. Done
it's based on a certain book.                                             
    The full version is on Zx.Da.Ru. With all the excuses for this
about.
