     Lately the Spectrum world has become
get your fill of game demo versions.
This is exemplified by several
unfinished games: "DOOM", "PARADISE"
 LOST", "WAR CRAFT", "DUNE 2" and
Several demos I have discussed below. Not
I can judge whether this is good or bad, but I will say
only one thing: now it’s starting in Belarus
the heyday of the Spectrum. In confirmation
I’ll cite or rather describe some
Belarusian demo games.

     You can see a demo version of the game at
application of the magazine "ZX-ELEMENT".
     "Land of Monsters" is a mixture of "LAST
BATTLE", "KING'S BOUNTY" and God knows more
something, but with its own original plot.
     There will be ten difficult ones in the game
levels.    Each level will have
present your landscape, your enemies and
your riddles. Currently three are ready
levels you can play.
     The idea of the game was taken from the magazine "Technology"
youth" for 1986.  As always without
There were some torn sprites here too.
The first level of the game is replete with pictures
from "REBEL STAR (ALIEN)". And so the complaints
no more, although the creators of "MONSTRLAND"
II have already expressed all my criticism and
wishes.
     The guys from WOLFSOFT are trying, and so am I.
I think it will be complete by the end of March

It seems to me that it will be a stunning success.

     The best interface on the Spectrum yet
there wasn't.  Management is carried out by everyone

the entire keyboard.  Movement in the game
carried out through selection

and your hero goes to the goal according to the directions

you need to observe it with your own eyes.
     And again the idea of the game is taken from "KING'S
BOUNTY 128", and the sprite of the main character is removed
from basic "KING'S BOUNTY 48".  I
I understand that it is difficult to draw a sensible
sprite, especially since you don’t have your own
the artist and you have to beg
"KAZ" so that he does something
"namalyavau", but why blow away the graphics from
other games, use other people's works,
without creating anything of your own....
Well, I accelerated.  Always criticize
easier.    Despite your angry
statements, I believe that the gamethere will be
beautiful and can compete in
popularity with many famous people
toys.
     The purpose of the game is not clear even to the authors, but
there is no doubt that the toy will be amazing
there are none.

     Have you ever played
Stepov's Star Heritage? If you played

the entire game interface repeats Stepovskaya

It would be nice to at least be more diligent about
your work. I'm not even talking about the fact that
running scroller and the inscription "GAME OVER"
ripped off from musical dems, and ripped off
unprofessional. But despite all these
"omissions", the demo turned out great.
     We look forward to the full
version of the game.

     Play games and get
