Appeal from the magazine's editors to readers.

ALEX NORMAN & KVANT SOFT
PRESENTS
Greetings, dear readers,
our magazine "SPECTROPHOBY". This time
column "FROM THE AUTHORS" had the honor to write
me - Alexey Sharmanov.
I will try to roughly tell you about
what awaits you if you pro-
must press the buttons on "SPECCY" and
Also read our magazine occasionally. First of all
oh, as you can see we constantly
we change, trying to find the most
comfortable shell that we have, how do I like it?
It turns out it turns out pretty good.
In general, we have big plans for the future,
but it all depends on one detail and this
detail is that our group
maybe almost in full force
to join the ranks of the Russian armed forces
Russian Federation, and therefore largeplans
it is almost impossible to build, but for now
it didn't happen, we'll try to fix it
to fulfill all the plans we have begun...
Well, now about those who took part
during the production of this issue of the magazine:
Repnikov Yuri (KVANT SOFT) - still
editor-in-chief and compiler
articles, as well as part-time
programmer - he is also the entire program (about
note) of the magazine he wrote himself.
Sharmanov Alexey (ALEX NORMAN) - that is,
I fell into a coma from a small number of new
programs that came to our region, and
I have absolutely no inspiration for this
to scrape or paint. According to this
I want to say water to the whole country, I wish
in and beyond: People (exclamation-
tel sign) Don't let a person bend
(zpt) send me something to play (three
exclamation point).
I would like to express my gratitude to Moskalev
Victor (from MAGIC SOFT) for sending mu-
zones written (judging by the credits) by some VI-
SUAL (from there), as well as to the authors
those who sent us their articles - without youthis one
the issue would not have come out very soon. Well
You can read the full list below, where
Yurik will list them all himself.
And finally, briefly about some articles of the
which you can read in this issue -
re our magazine. For game lovers
We offer a description of two games "E-
NIGMA FORCE" and "TERRORPODS", as well as descriptions
knowledge of passing games: "NEW DIZZY", "PARA-
DISE LOST DEMO", "ORDINARY STORY", "ZUNNY
& BONNY." New author's programs (according to
two from each city): Samara: MAXSOFT
SCREEN PACKER, ProXOR; Ufa: CATALOG
PLUS,CHEMNEBASE; Volzhsky: RT PLAYER
v1.02, DS PLAYER. Well, a lot of useful stuff -
no information.
I decided to write a little more information
editor-in-chief - Repnikov Yuri. And here's what
than...
In many magazines and about magazines, I
I read a little that this or that magazine "you-
launched specifically for..." such and such
kind. That is, a purely local magazine. But ours
The magazine is mainly intended for the masses
consumer. Since our Volgograd residents
did not support, so we are now orienting
We are aiming for the All-Russian (and even further)
audience. And accordingly our goal:
take a place in the top three coolness magazines
fishing, where are ZX-FORMAT and SPECTROFON now.
WELCOME PRESS, throughoutapparently it turned out
"premature" and after the first issue
died, but it’s a pity, it was a good start. And
in general, from that dozen and a half magazines,
that MAGIC SOFT distributes, about a third
continue to live, the rest realized that they
writing a magazine is not writing scrolling, yes
tear out the music. Publishing a magazine is a pre-
a freely responsible matter and if you started, then
keep doing it.
There is one more thing I would like to tell everyone
swapper and distributor - magazine
"SPECTROPHOBY" is done in the city, under the name
vaniya VOLZHSKY, but not Volgograd
(FLASH - ay-y-y), and also not Volzhsk.
And finally, something from myself personally. Ho-
tel would like to find friends in cities: Voronezh,
Astrakhan, Krasnodar... Well, and others nearby
the cities closest to Volgograd. I already have
there are friends with whom we found common ground
language through this magazine, and now rewrites-
we are working.
HE EDITORIAL MAGAZINE ENTERS IN CORRESPONDENCE WITH
READERS, BUT ON THE MOST INTERESTING
LETTERS ANDPROPOSALS FOR COOPERATION OT-
BETUT BY MAIL.
As promised, I will provide a list of all
who helped us release this issue:
Agapov Sergey (VISUAL of MAGIC SOFT) -
wrote nine music songs for the magazine, and so-
same description on 'ENIGMA FORCE'.
Gorin Alexander (from DIGITAL MASTERS,
Mikhailovka, Volgograd region) - write-
sal a humorous short story, as well as
his brother Sergei, two Mouzons.
Kolotovkin Yuri (Mikhailovka) - wrote
also, a couple of Mouzons (one of them plays
'humor').
Ivanishchev M.G. and D.M. (Volgodonsk) -
have compiled the entire section 'PROKIDLKA'. A
also two games written in Volgodonsk
long ago, but not widespread:
BOMBER 2, BOAC.
Muchkaev Maxim (M.M.A SOFT, Samara) -
sent an article about UFO-2 release 2.0, and
also three system programs from Samara:
DAF v8.3, ProXor v0.01, MAXSOFT SCREEN
PACKER v1.1, TRACK DOCTOR, U.F.O. v1.0.
Gazizullin Vasil (Basil/Vasil, CHEMNE-
SOFT PLUS, Ufa) - sent two system
programs from Ufa: CHEMNEBASE v0.6, and SATA-
LOGUE PLUS v1.00.
That's all. Do you want to be in something like this?
list in the next issue? Write...
WOOPS... But that's not all. When the number is already
was almost ready for release, in turn -
nom soft from SAMARA (vol.10) I discovered
MSP v1.1, as well as two more new programs,
provided to us for publication in the journal
nale. I didn't put them off for long
box and processed it promptly. Now at the same time
in fact'SYSTEM' we have as many as 9 (!!!) system
programs.
Well, there’s one more thing I wanted to say. Toba-
rich! Gentlemen! Don't you really care about anything?
any of what is written about in the magazine? to me
I'm already tired of working 'one way'.
As far as I know, our magazine is read
in many cities, including those
where there are no local magazines. And if si-
the situation will remain zero, then
there are two options: either we stop altogether
make a magazine, or the release interval will be
at 6 months.
And now for more fun information: Re-

him. So I decided to announce a competition.
