Stump #03

 While reading our reviews, you
 there could be a negative impression
 based on the fact that articles often
 "old stuff" is found. That's what I'm talking about
 and I want to talk.                       
      The described “junk” is divided into two
 groups:                                  
     1. Fossil - that is, the games "implan-
 tified" from cassettes.                    
     2. Old - originally disk games,
 already past the peak of their popularity.   
      The first part includes those games
 which we met for the first time both in cas-
 set and in disk form. After all,
 It’s possible that you haven’t seen them either; old,
 doesn't mean bad at all.

 I’ll tell you about it in more detail.              
      Let's start as expected... first...
 la.                                      
                                          
    PRACTICE - Choose your spaceship and
 to your opponent, then hit each other
 until the keyboard turns blue. Read here
 those characteristics of the ships.              
    MELEE - Battle of two fleets, strategic
 the logical part is missing.                  
    FULL GAME - Full game. Before we start
 battles you will be offered: "LOAD GAME?" or
 "STANDARD SCENARIO".SET PLAYERS - Here you will set the controls
 (KEYBORD,SINCLAIR II), select
 enemy (HUMAN - COMPUTER) and assistant
 ka (CYBORG controls the fighter,
 PSYTRON strategy), and also if your
 opponent computer, set the difficulty level
 ness.  And more about management, N - SAVE
 GAME;  ENTER then SPACE - exit basically
 new menu.                                
    QUIT - Quit.                         
                                          
 Now about the ships:                      
      Each civilization has four types
 combat spaceships. Everyone has their own
 weapons and has special equipment
 tion. Each ship has two displays -
 body:                                    
      CREW - Crew as a factor of "survivability"
 "Tee".                                     
      FUEL - Fuel, spent on assets -
 tion of weapons, equipment. Restores-
 powered by solar energy.             
      In my opinion, HIERARCY ships in their own way
 qualities superior to ALLIANCE.  Judge
 yourself!
