Napalm - first place fromDiHalt'99 demo compo. Despite
intensive advertising of this party, it still failed... And with
with a huge crash... Hmm... Well, what can I say? Screwed up
the guys from Face OFF association screwed up... Even though they shouted at
the whole country, like: “Give me a single-platform party!”
"Spectrum - inside, the rest outside!" That's how it is, but
before throwing a party you need to seriously think about such a thing
as an organization. Unfortunately, not everyone is fully aware that
may be behind this word (what great troubles). There is one
good saying: "Only fools learn from their mistakes." And
how many times have I been convinced that this is so!.. :(
What is NAPALM?.. - you ask. - This is a beautiful mixture
nice design, cool code, dark breakbeat sets and
stylish graphics!
As the authors themselves state (EI), this product is a kind of
showing the whole scene how cool it is to make demos (and not rivet
another animation). Well, they basically succeeded -
it just looks like a breeze. Coding is truly amazing
(what is phong shading worth), but about the fact that in
Deme has no anima - this must be argued. Too bad last fx (tunnel)
looks like her. And the deme weighs quite a bit, although...
In principle, I have a violet in the demo “crazy animation” or
no - the main thing is that it looks cool and everything is in its place.
Andabout the fact that Forever is lame because there is little coding,
then excuse me, dear comrades! Maybe we’ll even throw
sources??? For example, who is cooler and faster to do the erection in
degree or calculation of an indefinite integral??? ;))) No, I
Of course I understand everything - coding _this_ is not two bytes for you
piss (sorry for the censorship)...
In general, NAPALM really claims to be the
demos of the year. Bravo, EI!

Has everyone already seen the work with CC'999 wild compo??? If not, then
here it is, in front of you - Mechwarrior - a demo with considerable requests for
your car. I watched the whole demo with everyone
features.
What do we see? Two-thirds animation - 616 frames
full chanky (aargh!) video. Looks pretty good
(especially if you move about five meters away from the screen).
My personal humble opinion - it could have been done better!!!
Especially the muse under GS is a rather poor path. Ideally you should
was to insert 3 channels music & fantastic fx. Yes, and it infuriates
some graphics (hand-drawn).·········································

Demiurge continues to delight us with his works. Modern
Word2.1 is another fresh remix from this “Kovrovsky
Mednonogova" ;)) Undeniably cool. Currently Modern 2.1
is the best text processor for Spectrum. Below
Here are the innovations added to this version:
- the overlay procedure has been finally changed - no
external plug-ins. The menu name has been changed accordingly
on utility.
+ new utility: string sorter by Sergius Puzzler.
Sorts the lines of the _labeled_block_ alphabetically
ok.
+ text formatting is 2 times faster! About the process
formatting is indicated by the flickering of the 'Command' text.
By pressing the break key for a long time, the process can be interrupted.
+ via setup you can switch the tab mode (ss+space):
as code (standard) - code 9 is set in the text;
as space - in the text, depending on the tab width variable,
the required number of spaces is set.
c+ via the command line using the "M" key
moving the marked block.
> if there is no disk,when trying to write, the editor could
reset - a very old and seasoned bug ;-).
> when there was no disk, the scr>ascii utility used the data
previous directory - fixed.
> music howled when recording setup - shut it up ;).

Yes, yes! I know that describing newspapers in a newspaper is
universal flame, but what can you do? I really liked it
this newspaper! Still, it’s nice that the “newspaper oddity” is starting,
and they often make quite high-quality and interesting
publications Insanity #02 falls into this category.
Good materials, high-quality graphics, good shell
(nothing is superfluous - everything is in its place).
And so be it!

Now I'm going to have a little fight. Are you ready? Firstly, what
Is this a terrible demo style? No, of course something is breaking through
so amazing - but what they turned it into!!! Damn! Franklyspeaking, the concept of the demo is crappy (maybe this is just another video
7UP, but already on Speck???). I don’t understand where people were looking at all.
Not everyone can transfer graphics that suck! Coding though
is present - but I didn’t see anything impressive there. Conclusion:
rather crappy.
Of course, I don’t want to disappoint the authors, but I thought
necessary to express their point of view. If anyone disagrees with me
write letters, throw stones - we'll figure it out! ;)

Hehh... There are no words... People, someone needs a hack
Miracle#03??? Or does everyone already have it? :'( Congratulations to the site owners
zx.da.ru!!! With things like this you really support
Spectrum life! After all, they hacked... And "Poison protection
system" didn’t stop them - they were uprooted. IDIOTS! If you really
don't give a damn about the editors (i.e. us), then you should at least think about those
who is the official distributor of the magazine (and they are not
few): CyberPunks, Unbeliever, X-Project, M. Terentyev).
Well, we have no choice but to post
branded version of the magazine on ChaoSite (Miracle.TRD & M_PROT.$) -
so that people do not use leftism.Once again, many thanks to Paul Paulov for not giving us
the opportunity to reimburse the cost of the magazine (we only received approx.
100 rubles, while the bags alone cost that money)
:'((((
