REVIEW OF SPECTRUM RESOURCES ON THE INTERNET.
(REVIEW IS FAIR ON 12.1О.2ОО1)
--------------------------------------------
(C) GOLDEP MAX
HI-FI, PEOPLE! GOLDEP MAX IS WITH YOU AGAIN AND THIS TIME I OFFER YOUR
ATTENTION REVIEW OF SPECCY RESOURCES IN I-PET. ASSESSMENT WILL BE
TO BE DONE, AS ALWAYS, ON A 1-POINT SCALE - BY
SEVERAL PARAMETERS:
1ST PARAMETER. IN MY VIEW, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS REGULARITY
SITE UPDATES.
2ND PARAMETER. RESOURCES, DESIGN AND EASY TO USE.
3rd PARAMETER. OVERALL SCORE.
AS USUAL, PLEASE DO NOT BE OFFENSIVE WITH ME, ALL OF THE FOLLOWING
MY PERSONAL OPINION. SO LET'S START...----------------------------------------------------------------
VIGTIAL TG-DOS
HTTP://ZX.DA.GI/
----------------------------------------------------------------
-
REGULARITY IS TOUGH. THERE WERE CASES THAT EVERYTHING WAS QUIET
MORE THAN A WEEK. BUT THE TRUTH THEN SUCH A PILE FOLLOWED OUT
NEWS AND SOFTWARE THAT THERE WERE NOT ENOUGH FLOPSKETS TO DOWNLOAD EVERYTHING. ON
THIS SITE HAS A LARGE PILE OF TOYS (OLD AND NEW) AND ALMOST COLLECTED
ALL PRESS. IF ANYONE NEEDS THE OLD SOFTWARE, COME IN FREELY.
RATING: 9 1ОSOMMEPTS: NOW UPDATED ALMOST REGULARLY. -
DESIGN WITHOUT EXTRA STUFF AND THEREFORE IT LOADS QUICKLY.
THE COLOR SCALE DOESN'T LET YOUR EYES TIRED, EVERYTHING IS PERFECTLY READABLE.
IF A NEW NEW APPEARS, YOU CAN IMMEDIATELY DOWNLOAD IT FROM THE TITLE
PAGES, AND THIS SAVES VERY TIME (MONEY). EVERYTHING IS ARRANGED BY
THE ALPHABET IS SO SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO SEARCH FOR LONG TIME. THERE ARE GAMES FOR GS.
THERE IS A BIG BUMP HERE FOR DEMO FANS. DEMOS ONLY WITH
PARTY AND OLD STUFF. THERE ARE ALSO EMULIS AND ALL PC SOFT
FORSPECTRUM.
RATING: 9.2S 1ОSOMMEPTS: THE GUYS WITH THE DEMOS WERE A LITTLE LETTING UP.
Z. WELL AS THEY SAY NINE POINTS AND NOT ANY NAILS. ALTHOUGH I CAN
ADD ONE THING: HALF OF THE PEOPLE WHO SENT US LETTERS
WE DOWNLOADED OUR NEWSPAPER FROM THIS SITE. AND ALSO, I FIRST THING
I GO HERE AND THEN FOLLOW LINKS TO OTHERS (ADDRESS EASILY
REMEMBER).
RATING: 9.12S 1О
SOMMEPTS: ONE OF THE BEST SITES. ROSHEGH OF SOIPD
HTTP://POS.IZNPET.GI/ -
THIS SITE IS UPDATED WITH NEWS ALMOST EVERY DAY. TRUTH
LEFT WRITING IS OFTEN PRESENT. AND IT'S ALL VERY BOMBY.
DAMN WHENEVERYTHING IS GOOD AND NOTHING TO WRITE.
RATING: 1О 1ОSOMMEPTS: KEEP IT UP, GUYS! -
IT'S NOT ALL SO SMOOTH HERE. THERE IS NO WORD WITHOUT GOOD. QTY
ALL SOFTWARE IS JUST AWESOME. IN ADDITION TO GAMES AND PRESS HERE
THERE ARE GAME SOURCES, A LOT OF DEMOS, A FEW HARDWARE CIRCUITS,
COLLECTIONS OF ZX MUSICIANS (PISK-O, MMSM AND OTHERS). TRUE IF
NEW NEWS APPEAR NOT ALWAYS YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND OUT ABOUT THIS FROM THE FIRST
PAGES AND YOU HAVE TO CLIMB ALL THE ADD-ONS. AND THIS
IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME. THE DESIGN IS COOL, ONLY BECAUSE
SPIDERS TAKE A LONG TIME TO LOAD THE PAGE (WHEN THIS IS A GOOD CONNECTION
DON'T NOTICE).
RATING: 9.S 1О
SOMMEPTS: IF YOU COULD DOWNLOAD NEW FROM THE FIRST PAGE THEN
IT WOULD BE JUST COOL. IT CAN BE SAID THE BEST PAGE.
I RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE.
Z. VERY GOOD SITE IN terms of NEWS AND NEWS, AND IN
ALL PLANS -FINE. GUYS MAY CONSIDER THIS OFFER,
ABOUT DOWNLOADING NEW SOFTWARE FROM THE FIRST PAGE. THEN YOU WILL
TNE BEST.
RATING:9.7S 1O
SOMEPTS: GILEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!! SCEPEGGY
HTTP://SSEPEGGU.NATM.GI/ 1. PURELY SCENE NEWS. LEFT LEFT TEXTS ARE OFTEN PRESENT. THEN
UPDATES FREQUENTLY WITH THIS NEWS. KLONDIKE FOR LOVERS
DEMOC. FULL OF ALL ALL GIFT'S, ETC. NEW NEWS APPEAR REGULARLY.
RATING: 9.S 1О
SOMMEPTS: THERE ARE MOMENTS THAT A NEW VARYZZ APPEARS HERE
FIRST. EVERYTHING SEEMS GOOD, BUT SOMETHING...
-
IF YOU GO WELL, YOU CAN FIND A LOT OF INTERESTING STUFF. BUT,
AS YOU UNDERSTAND THIS ISIT TAKES TIME, AND SO IT COSTS MONEY. B
THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH SOFTWARE IN THE BASEMENTS. AND THEIR PROJECT 'SSEPEGGU #Z' IS WORTH IT
ON PLACE. IN MY ACCOUNT THERE WILL BE NO PROMOTIONS, SINCE ABOUT A YEAR
NOTHING NEW IS HAPPENING THERE. THERE IS AN ARCHIVE OF NEWS. AND SO
REALLY GOOD SITE.
RATING: 9 1ОSOMMEPTS: DESIGN AT LEVEL, QUANTITY OF SOFTWARE NOT A FOUNTAIN, AND
FOR SOMEHOW, MY SOUL DOESN'T PERSONALLY LOVE TO THIS SITE.
H. OVERALL SCORE. THE SITE IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE SITE OF THE SAME NAME IN CONTENT
MAGAZINE. EVERYONE WHO LIKED THE MAGAZINE WILL LIKE THIS SITE.
RATING: 9.2S 1О
SOMMEPTS: THERE IS NO COMRADE FOR TASTE AND SITE. ZX EXTRA LOAD PAGE
HTTP://ZXFILES.GASHSH.PET/ -
I DO NOT KNOW THIS SITE VERY MUCH,BUT JUDGING ON THE NEWS THAT
THERE ARE UPDATES ON IT HAPPEN AS NEW ARE ARRIVED
SOFT.
RATING: 9 1ОSOMMEPTS: FOR SOMETHING IT IS WRITTEN THAT THE SECOND NUMBER OF OUR NEWSPAPER
APPEARED AFTER A MONTH (THIS IS NOT TRUE - AFTER TWO WEEKS AND THREE
DAY!!!). -
IN THE ARCHIVE OF THE PROGRAM FROM 1998 TO THE PRESENT (THUS IT IS WRITTEN ON THE SITE). C
THE PROBLEM HERE IS THE VERY SMALL FONT (REMINDS OUR
NEWSPAPER). YOU MUST READ WITH VERY STRESS (Who hasn't gone to the parachute?
PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS). FOR THE FIRST TIME I MEETED THE SYSTEM HERE
ASSESSMENTS OF NEW SOFTWARE. AND IT WAS ESPECIALLY PLEASANT THAT OUR NEWSPAPER
(P2) HAS A GOOD RATING :). NEW PROGRAMS ARE LOCATED BY TYPE,
MOST OF THEM HAVE COMMENTS.
RATING: 8.7S 1О
COMMEPTS: EVERYTHING IS COOL, JUST (LIKE US) YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE FONT. And
MORE ARCHIVES FOR MORE. THE SOFTWARE RATING CHICK PICKED ME.
Z. NOT PRETTY BAD, ALTHOUGHTHE ABOVE ARE NOT A FEW
REACHES.
RATING:8.88 1О
SOMMEPTS: EVERYTHING (EXCEPT THE FONT) IS AT A COMPLETELY HIGH LEVEL. P.S. THANK YOU FOR YOUR LETTER, WE WILL BE WAITING FOR YOUR REVIEWS ABOUT THE THIRD ISSUE.
NO OFFENSE. I TRIED TO BE OBJECTIVE.
ZX PESH SITE
NTTR://ZX-PESHS.PAGOD.GI/ - THE NAME OF THE SITE DOES NOT MATCH ITS CONTENT. HE IS COMPLETELY
PACKED WITH ALL ALL ALL THINGS, POKES AND WALKTHROUGH INSTRUCTIONS
IGR. AS ABOUT THE NEWS: THE LATEST NEWS IS DATED AUGUST 18
(IF I'M NOT MISTAKE).
RATING: 7.S 1О
SOMMEPTS: IT SEEMES TO ME THE NAME WOULD NOT HURT TO CHANGE, BECAUSE IT'S NOT
COMPLIANTCONTENTS.
-
DESIGN IS AVERAGE - THE TEXT IS WRITTEN LARGE. WITH CONVENIENCE
ALL FRAMES. A HUGE COLLECTION OF ALL IMMORTALITIES. IN SHORT SPEAKING
I ADVISE EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN BREAKING TO COMPLETE THE GAME HONESTLY.
RATING: 8.S 1ОSOMMEPTS: THERE ARE NO GAMES ON THE SITE, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF IMMORTALITY.
Z. IN MY opinion, FROM WHAT WRITTEN ABOVE IT IS CLEAR WHAT’S WHAT’S WHAT.
RATING: 8 1О
SOMMEPTS: THE BEST SITE OF ITS KIND. ACCORDING TO THE THINGS YOU CAN BOLDLY
PUT 1O 1O.
* * * ON THIS I WOULD LIKE TO BELIEVE AND ASK FORGIVENESS FROM EVERYONE TO WHOM
OR I DID NOT LIKE IT. I TRIED TO BE OBJECTIVE AND EVERYTHING HIGHER
THE SAYING IS MY PERSONAL OPINION.
I CAN ADD MYSELF, GO TO THE FIRST FOUR SITES IF
THERE IS NOTHING NEW THERE, IT IS NOTHING ANYWHERE. I THINK THIS IS THE BESTSITES FROM CURRENTLY LIVING.
THIS IS, OF COURSE, NOT ALL THAT CAN BE SAID ABOUT
SPECTRUM RESOURCES ON THE INTERNET. THERE ARE STILL WONDERFUL
SITES THAT I HOPE TO REVIEW IN FOLLOWING ISSUES
ZX-TIME. SO - A CONTINUATION WILL MOST MOST FOLLOW!!!
* * *</span><span class='RGB12'> ADDITIONS TO THE ARTICLE 'ZX EMULATORS ON PC' (ZXT#1)
AND TO THE ARTICLE 'REVIEW OF UTILITIES FOR ZX SRESTGIM ON PC' (ZXT#2)
------------------------------------------------------- FROM THE EDITOR: IT HAPPENED THAT WE ARE ABOUT THE SAME SAME
THE EMULATOR WRITTEN BY TWO READERS AT ONCE (THE DIFFERENT VERSIONS).
HAVING A LITTLE THINKING, WE DECIDED TO PLACE BOTH JUDGMENTS IN ONE
ARTICLE. THESE SAME READERS HAVE ALREADY WRITE ABOUT UTILITIES (ALREADY ALREADY
DIFFERENT). AND AFTER THEM - THE INDEPENDENT OPINION OF THE MAIN (AND
THE ONLY) EDITOR OF THE 'RS AND SRESTGIM' SECTION (GOLDEP MAX'A)
ALL ABOUT THE SAME EMULA.
- - -

VLADIMIR ZOREEV (DESGIPSNEG), NIZHNY NOVGOROD: ----------------------------------------------------------------
ADDENDUM TO THE COLLECTION OF EMULS DESCRIBED IN THE 1ST ISSUE OF THE NEWSPAPER:
IPGEALSRESSU O.O7V (NTTR://TOOLS2K.SNAT.GI/) A VERY ACTIVELY DEVELOPING AND HIGH-QUALITY EMULATOR FOR
SHIPDOSHS. GOOD EMULATIONAU, MULTICOLOR/CURB EFFECTS,
GUI INTERFACE, CONVENIENT DEBUGGER. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
PRETTY WEAK, ALTHOUGH BY PRESENT STANDARDS NOT SO MUCH
LARGE:
12MV OF GAM
SELEGOP-2BB SRI FOG SHIPDOSHS PT / SHIPDOSHS 2OOO
SELEGOP-CHOO SRI FOG SHIPDOSHS 9S / 98
1B-BIT SOIPD SAGD ORTIOPAL, VIT GESOMMEPDED ABOUT GAM, I UNDERSTAND IT - FREE, BECAUSE FOR SH2K
A MINIMUM BCMV IS NEEDED FOR MORE OR LESS NORMAL OPERATION... BY THE WAY,
UNDER SH2K WORKS SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER THAN UNDER MISTDIE 9S/98. U
IT WORKS GREAT FOR ME ON CEL-SZZ/128MV UNDER SH2K.
