 The best toy is being prepared DR

much to play) PARADISE LOSTyou
you can find, for example, in
Zx-Format 4.5, or somewhere else...
Judging by what happened, the game
Ruska will be a hit if not a year,
it's the season, that's for sure!        
                                
 It’s too early to write a novella -
There is no game yet, however
the first "glimpses" of the plot are already
visible:                          
                                
 You control a little man (view
above), which fell into a certain
building.  For what - not yet clear -
but... :) But in the playble version it is
and it doesn’t matter, because the goal is
her - get to the elevator bypassing
all kinds of traps and jokes. 
                                
 The action begins in big
indoors, and you are recommended
go straight to the right.  Via
a few minutes (and for some,
maybe it will take a few
hours :) Bob (that's how you call)
vut) someone will see in front of him
table, and next to it a large
cabinet.                           
                                
 Yes, I didn’t say anything about controls:
it is standard, Q/A/O/P/Space
or Joystick. By pressing the fire you
you will be taken to a menu consisting of
pictograms.  There aren't many of them, so
you'll figure out for yourself what's there
why.                         
                                
 Look, there is
terrible tool: KNIFE! Be-
pick him up quickly and run to the classroom
ugh.  Along the way, leaving the last one
look at the table, Bob is reading for-
a piss left by someone special
for him:                 
                                
 "Bob! The toilet is clogged
pipe, call a technician.  I'll give you water
blocked.                       
 volume."    
                                
 Scolding the volume with bad words -
Mi, Bob understands that he will have tofix the pipe, since such a de-
lo...                           
                                
 But before that you still need to
see what's in the closet
lies...                        
                                
 And the closet is no fool, it’s locked
turned out to be.  Bob, by the way, isn't either
fool, with his knife once or twice,
one or two.  Not immediately, gradually
but the door opened. With a cunning
grin on his impudent face, Bob
I stole a drill and a flashlight from there
and an adjustable wrench.               
                                
 "What should I do with all this
junk? - our hero thought.
- I’ll go and check it out better
a computer that costs
far away..."                      
                                
 And off he went.  And I checked it out.  Nothing
car, there’s really not much at UKSC
similar...                       
                                
And Bob saw next to the computer
SAFE!                           
                                
 "Wow, this is just right for me -
botenka, not like a closet ka-
someone!" And Bobby began to think, as if
open the safe. And he was reminded
all sorts of films about bandits/spy-
new/robbers...               
                                
 Busily rummaging in my pocket
nah, Bob pulled out... a flashlight! "Ah
What does this have to do with a flashlight? - ask-
those you. - The safe should be broken, not
engage in nonsense."         
                                
 It's not that simple! Drill something
ours runs on batteries,
where are the batteries?  That's right, in
flashlight!                       
                                
 So Bob guessed it.
I quickly pulled out the galvanic
some elements, loaded the drill,
buzzed a little, the door flew off
from hinges.                       
                                
 And in the safe there are already TWO necessary

cage 3.5''.  Bobby is not a guy

squeeze, and then sell it on the market

to the seller - VIks, for example, or
Fomin...                       
                                
 And I was really ready
continue to move on as it came to him!
IT'S NOT IN vain THAT THE UKSC IS NEAR THE STATION
It!                             
                                
 A couple of seconds, and the usual movement
shaking his hand, Bob inserted the disk into
drive and grabbed the keyboard...   
                                
 He was advised to “Help”

This type of computer is even stupider,
than UKSC, because it understands
only four commands:           
                                
Help

 Read disk                     
Something incomprehensible...           
                                
 Well, our newly minted
user "Read disk". And they tell him:
"Give me the password." And he: “I forgot...”
And to him: “Well, get out of here.
If you remember, then come."   
                                
 You probably already guessed
how to find out the password.  No? then
read carefully what you wrote
sanoin the same folder that
you stole from the safe along with
disk...                       
                                
 That's right!    "Daisy"!   Bobby
quickly typed it on the keyboard
and... disabled the protection.           
                                
 If you don’t believe me, the protection
was in fact, then try-

swarm, the contours of a person are vaguely visible
ka...                           
                                
 And now - everything is O.B.! Calm down
open this door, no one us
doesn’t kill, and we end up... in that

 How can you not go into such an important
establishment!  Well, everything is there, just like
supposed...                     
                                
 And then Bob wanted to use

Bob. And I remembered that he had

big hole, turned it with a key
- and please, the water started flowing!     
                                
 I no longer wanted to go to the toilet, and
Bobby went further. And then it would-
la dining room!  Or a restaurant. Or
bar  But not a simple bar, but with
stage for showing striptease...  
                                
 “Hmm,” Bob thought, “that’s not
for me... I'll go and let it pass
a glass or two, fortunately around -
not a soul. No bartender, no girls
- no one..."                    
                                
 After drinking a couple of bottles of whiskey,
the hero decided that, perhaps,

chickpeas to braid...              
                                
 And I really got ready to move on
go when I saw an empty glass,
so carelessly forgotten by someone
mo on the counter.

 And not far away there is another knife

 Bobby fiddled with the lock... And
I GOT his lock!

I grabbed the glass and ran to the toilet,
filled it with dirty water
from the tap, which, if not
strange, she went, and out of anger you-
poured everything onto the panel...            
                                
 And oh, miracle! The panel began to smoke andspoiled!

 But the door heroically resisted
Lyala!                         
                                
 And Bob killed her for it with a knife
shut up... I cut everything off
wires - business...           
                                
And...              
                                
 Fuck you!  The door is worth it
as it stood! But the lock panel
clearly came to a non-working state -
pain from such jokes...        
                                
 “Eureka!” Bob realized. “I
I'll water it with water one more time, and
she will fall!"                     
                                
 Watered...
