Well, here I am again with you, gentlemen, users and hackers of com-
computer ZX-SPECTRUM (let me explain right away that I am the editor of this
headings STEVER OF CENTRONICS HACKERS GROUP). How I was both
Earlier in the first issue of our magazine, I continue the story
about the latest news from the hacker world in Moscow, Russia and other countries
neighboring countries. So....
The famous Moscow hacker KSA SOFTWARE (released at the end of summer)
from the ranks of the collapsing MORTAL KOMBAT HACKERS GROUP), soon
will delight SPECTRUM fans with its next development - "MONSTER
COMMANDER". It's safe to say that this work will be
the first sign in the creation of a new generation of commanders in
SPECCY, because this "MONSTER" will practically include
all functions necessary for the user: copying (in one
once it takes 480 sectors, it is copied in the order in which you
marked files), working with disk track zero (correction
errors),the ability to change the disc label, delete, compact and
much more. Moreover, each function is subject to a powerful system
protection - you will never do anything fatal to your di-
ska. In general, the release of "MONSTER COMMANDER" was greatly facilitated.
reads the work to the SPECTRUM user.
Educated not very long ago (but with every chance of becoming an extreme
not popular) Moscow hacker group OMEN CORPORATION
continues to work on its central project - "ZX-WINDOWS"
(analogous to "WINDOWS" on SPECCY). But, besides, in their, not so
In the long-term plans, there is an idea to create several toys. Genres
these games will be very different: from ADVENTURE GAMES, to typical
shooter (ACTION). And yet, they recently collected a musical
board - analogue of SOUND BABY (about this device created by ALEX
RAIDER from FLASH INC. (Novosibirsk), I already wrote earlier). Hour-
The amount of sound through this board, of course, does not quite reach
original, but, in any case, is sharply different from LPT COVOX
(the simplest device from this family).
The next news will concern the sharply increasing
lately, hackers' desire to move from writing demos to
tions for writing toys (which you probably already understood from the example
re OMEN CORPORATION). Moscow programmer WDW CORP. reports
which will be released in the near future (exact dates have not yet been determined)
in the light of a new game, his ownmanufacturing (he makes it
practically alone, not counting the help of KSA SOFWARE with music), called
the name of which is “ICE CLIMBER” (users of “DENDY” have probably heard
jokes about her). It will be quite easy to determine the genre of this game
difficult - something between an arcade and a typical QUEST. Vob-
Let's hope that SPECCY users will receive another
an opportunity to get away from a wonderful toy.
FANTOMASSOFT OF CENTRONICS HACKERS GROUP interrupted its temporary
rest after writing our (CHG) global project -
"COSMOZONE" KILODEMO (which you will see in the "APPLICATIONS" section
of this magazine) and again continued his hard work on SPECTRU-
M'e. At the moment, the object of his efforts is to create
original effects for the new demo (its name is currently
not yet invented) and PLAYER for music that supports music

at the same time they once again support the hackers in their new endeavor -
writing games.
The news from Moscow hackers has come to an end. Like probably
it has already become clear to you that they do not sleep and are always ready to please
you, dear users, with our new works.

months, the release of a series of toys, restored by them after-
