the new version is possible with your own eyes

So children, let's exhale and
Let's dream about a new cool game...
Are you dreaming? Now let us tell you that
The author "forgot" to inform.
Firstly, the program requires
disk drive This is due to the fact that
the program is highly protected, and
Protection and cassette player are simple
funny combination of words.
(Despite the protections, we have already found
program that copies
ELITE 2)
Secondly, in the program
there are many subtleties,
which you yourself will find right away
same. There are still some "things"
that you are destined to know about
just after playing a very decent game
time.
Thirdly, the program requires
very narrow list of hardware and
software tools. For example
TR DOR 5.03 only (as reported
by the author) or TR DOS 5.04s, on
which program for some reason
works.
Fourthly, in the program
ships are more consistent
company description Those
the lucky ones who had access
to the brand description, they know about
that after seeing Cobra 3 or
Python, laser should be turned off
and pretend to be a “poor lamb.”
Fifthly, ... But perhaps already
that's enough. Get yourself one
program and learn about everything
yourself.
Let us also inform you that the program
can be purchased atroom 212a
first dormitory NETI (NGUT) in
city of Novosibirsk.
We express our gratitude
Kladova for creating this
program and Kuznetsova for
providing a version for
review.!
Who among us hasn't played the old one?
LODERUNNER. This game has
a few tricks. Clicking on
CAPS+L, you will go to the next
room, having received more
extra life. Clicking on
CAPS+N you will simply increase the number
lives, but shouldn't
increase the number of lives more
