Specter / оь
1. Well, as it should be for a start Name, Nicknames, age, place
habitats :)))))
- Andrey Bogdanovich aka Specter, 2H years old, Minsk.
2. Historical Motherland :)
- Surprisingly enough, Minsk is also :)
3 Well... Question straight forward :) Have you ever been to Grodno???
- Yes! 3 days while I was a student. Somehow in the 2nd year, we (H
classmate) sitting in the buffet (instead of a lecture) behind glasses with
coffee, we decided to rush to Grodno. They did it as they decided. After
classes, took tickets and had a lot of fun.
Do you want to visit?
- Otherwise ;) Who doesn’t want to go to Grodno!
If yes, how many times?
- IO Comments
What did you like or dislike?
- I liked the hot spots, taxis (very cheap, only on
we went there), and overall a pleasant experience. Whatever
strange, I meet acquaintances all the time, especially this
It was amazing when we got off the train at one o’clock in the morning and accidentally
We met a friend in a car, who kindly drove everyone around.
Impressions? Compare with your city? what is the purpose of the visit,
will you come again?
- Actually, I already wrote everything above, but with Minsk there is no point
compare - need to compareapproximately the same cities.
Ch. Do you know the Grodno spektrumists? Even former ones?
Who do you think is the most prominent representative? :) Name it
who do you know personally? Who do you maintain relationships and contacts with?
- Unfortunately, I know almost everyone only by hearsay. Personally
I met only with KVA (on Mln) and Sinus (on another Mln). But
certainly ACL, E-Mage, Fishbone are the most famous groups, and
totally deserved.
5. Tell us a little about your biography - how did you spend your youth?
:)))
- In the most ordinary way: read books and played/wrote on
computer. A wonderful mixture for anyone who wants to kill
time and improve vision at the same time.
b. How did Fate, the villainess, bring you together with Specki? How did it happen
what time (short story)
- In 1993, my parents gave me Byte Ch8K with
tape recorder. It’s very difficult to convey the feeling of owning it,
here you have a Kempston joystick on a standard keyboard and 3
channel synthesizer (on VI1 if I'm not mistaken), large
built-in speaker, convenient compact body, quite durable
keyboard, and of course 2 cassettes with magnificent
Russified games included. It was a hit. Having played enough
I started actively trying to write something of my own in Vasik, then
Having learned that my classmate goes to a computer science club (2
summer programming courses on Vasik) I went there too
(immediately in the second year) and completed these courses with an honorary diploma.
By that time, I had long ago realized that writing by myself is much more
more interesting than playing something already written.
For about a year since 1995 I tried to learn assembler, but it didn’t work for me.
was not given for a long time (mainly due to the lack of sensible
literature). Before my eyesstood the mastodon of coding and
hacking guru, famous software distributor Mastsoft. Under
mood he could tell something useful.
Finally, in 1997, I felt the strength and wrote
cover for the Energy newspaper (which was quite a bit late,
otherwise it would have been the first Minsk newspaper, but it would have been the second). Why myself
Mastsoft remarked: “Finally, you started doing something.” :)
After such “praise” there was nowhere to retreat, and away we go...
I was attracted to diverse projects, so I did
such different things as viewers, active game AnyTank, S.H.I.F.
in the then fashionable genre "Star Heritage", logical Ckickmania,
was the Editor-in-Chief of the Lprint newspaper, and then wrote his articles in
newspaper Always. Plus various little things like improving the MOD player
from OHG, modem chess, etc. But most of all I liked
write a disk commander, because within one
the only program has to be studied and (re)made
completely different things: working with VG93, with TR-DOS, BASIC,
memory extensions, mouse, packers, unpackers,
converters, viewers, etc.
7. What is your main specialization on the Spectrum? Right away
did you come to her? Did your education help you with this?
- At one time I thought that 5 years of studying at the Belarusian
State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics
did not affect my ability to write Z8O assembly language at all.
But somehow I noticed that it became very easy for me to take
long-written and optimized procedure, come up with a new one
the logic of its operation and rewrite it more compactly.
8. Speaking of hares! What is your specialty? Where did you study?
- Specialty: telecommunications engineer, that is, not at all
programmer
9. What groups were you in, are you a member of, what projects have you released?
Which one do you think is the most successful?
- First it was the ZX-Legion group, then we (Mentat, Filosof
and I) created our own group, Optical Brothers. Then we
finally separated from ZX-Legion and became on their own.
9a. Do you have any projects that remain so?
In dreams?
- Yes! Who doesn't have them? :) I want to write S.H.I.F. 2. Maybe
someday I'll write an Internet browser for Specky (my experience in
viewers, creating many sites, working with network
administrators are the best suited for this task).
1O. How did Spectrum affect your future life?
(Acquaintances, connections, choice of profession) did the hobby influence
your future destiny?- I decided to continue the path of a programmer.
- Former spektrumists do not forget each other
- I still can’t give up writing Z8O assembler
(although from time to time I write on PC and other platforms).
11. Your first Spectrum was??? (what?) What were they like next?
- See question b
11a. Which model do you consider the most successful and advanced?
- There was no leader. There was a very competent Profi model, but on two
boards, there was Scorpion with incredible extensions, there was
demomaker Pentagon.
Personally, I changed my Byte to Scorpion, which over time
settled in cache, 512K according to the Pentagon standard, PC
Klava,3.5" floppy drive, disabling #1FFD, CDOS modem, Sound
Driver, Covox, 2 switchable ROMs, etc.
12. What is the Spectrum, zx scene for you at the moment.
You are doing something, just interested in news or for a long time
sent all this??? :))) if so, what, how and when??
- Nothing has changed for me: I update my site regularly
I look through other sites, read the zx.spectrum echo, write to
forums zx.rk.ru, writing new versions of Quick Commander,
I encourage my friends to write something on the Spectrum
(remember your youth). And all this despite completing his studies,
changing jobs, professional growth in completely different
areas, marriage, birth of a child.

1H. Your attitude towards Emulators, which ones you used, is it necessary?
Is this even a thing? Because we were arguing with Sinus... :) Darling
(emulsion) maybe eat? Which one is the best???
- Unreal Speccy. In everything you can feel that it was made by a programmer
for a programmer. Of course, emuls are needed to write and debug
QC in real life is many times slower.
15. Name your favorite on Spectrum DEMO, GAME, Uewspaper,
Magazine (or several in order of coolness)
- I won’t tell you right off the bat, you have to thoroughly delve into your memory
1b. Name the best Graphic and Music Editor, Best
Assembly language or other software, the authors will be pleased!
- BGE, RT. :) But Art Studio with a mouse andASM is respect
forever. Alasm, but I have great respect for TASM Ch, STORM,
ZX-ASM 3, XAS are certainly important milestones in development
assemblers on Speccy.
17. Well, if we have already talked about this, Remember those Great
who deserves to be mentioned - Favorite Musician, Coder, Artist,
Just a man who did a lot of good for the stage!
- Already mentioned Mast and KSA in two categories at once
(Musician and Coder), RST 7, Copper Feet, Alone Coder (always
it's hard to be first). There are many artists, I won’t write so as not to
forget someone.
18. Do you consider yourself a Stager and how do you feel about it?
“understanding” what it is in your opinion “Scene and Scener”
- No, in my opinion, a stage designer is a person who does nothing
is not specific. You can say “helps” others. This
Of course, a very controversial opinion, but thanks to Sergey Sturm
(now DJ Psych), it stuck with me thoroughly.
19. Can you assess the state of the Stage today???
- Calm, although you can write both “stability” and “stagnation”.
There are those who have a good idea of what Spectrum is in its
life, and no one demands anything from anyone. That is, pure
hobby for your own pleasure. For some there is another way
self-realization, but there are much fewer of them than before.
2O. Have you personally attended any Parties? As a viewer either
participant? What did you like? What's not?- Mln, both as a spectator and as a participant (exhibited the game
Clickmania). Since this is the only demo party I've been to,
nothing to compare with
21. Is it possible to make money on the Spectrum and how?
- In reality (that is, to live on this money) no.
22. Does Spectrum have a Future and how do you see it???
- About the same as now. For Spectrum the future is already
has arrived. :)
And a couple more “life” questions:
Have you served in the Army? Where and when?
- No
Do you have your own family (wife, children)
- Yes, wife and child (girl, 1.5 years old)
Will you tell them on quiet winter evenings about
Spectrum?? :)))) Or already?? (but it's still autumn :)
- My wife knows, she sees that I come home from work (8 hours in
computer) I sit down at home and write something until nightfall (usually
this is Quick Commander), then sleep and go back to work. And in
On weekends I write like this all day.
Do you have MS, what kind? (or maybe Amiga, MAC?) You create
whether you do something creative on it or just play
games (which ones)
- Of course there is. :) Athlon 2SOO+. Different things to do at work, sometimes
I write website scripts, often write in an emulator, and very rarely play.
Favorite genre of computer games.
- There is no loved one
Favorite musical direction
- Previously there was doom and gothic, but with a small child all this
stopped listening.
What model of cell phone do you have? what brand do you think
leader?
- Now Samsung X1OO
Hobbies besides computers???- There are no others :)
Do you have an idiot's dream?
- Yes!
Happiest moment in your life?
- I don’t even know. Many wonderful moments, but just like that
I can’t pick the best one.
Have you ever read our newspaper? Wishes andare there any suggestions?
- Of course, it’s always nice to read good newspapers. One wish
- come out again!
