    Since the release of the ninth issue
A lot of time has passed.  For these
months by the efforts of Spectrum developers
Quite a lot of programs came out - from
newspapers and magazines to systems and games. By
my (DWT) conservative calculations turned out to be more
more 30 programs (the figure is closer to forty).
For this reason, the review became quite
"weighty" - more than 2chkb of text and 1Skb
graphics. Some programs have been decided
even excluded from review due to loss
their relevance...                      
    We tried to carry out the review in detail -
ny and “distribute” it between two
people - Golden Maxconducts a review of games,
and I (DWT) tried to consider all oc-
detailed.  Reviews are credited

Most of the articles are devoted to Speccy, however
they have more of a “patriotic” character

- that is, sub`ektubhomy) to support the spirit

there is little formation (almost like in the 9thZXTime).

The last numbers are left
just a cool impression,
a "splitting" into three parts
every issue - something new
(I used to be so "thematic"
I haven’t seen any partitioning).
Let's focus on the last one (12)
issue Psychosis. It was called

my text.   In general -

newspapers.  Simply by successfully checking yourself

I rushed to send it out on the Internet...
It was only later that I realized that I was in a hurry. Since

I have a request to you, the authors of Psychoz,

    The first thing I noticed was
this is a ROM font that is maxi-
very ergonomic in the form of 8x8, but in the form

    Personally, I also support AlCo still in
several "kills" :) For example, shadows
in the windows, and other little things. But here's liquidation-
tion of the desired combination "ss+k" - the measure is not
understandable.  For example, I use this function
I always use it.                       
                                        
    In addition, I would like STS not

last wish - if possible,
make sure that STS, working in any
memory page, still used the 2nd

the versatility of this program to the maximum
mumu with minimal damage to memory :)...    
                                        
    From STS`a let's return directly to
ZXGuide Part 5. As I said above, ma-
There is enough TV for both the user and the casual

I recommend reading it.

maybe it's worth thinking about this? After all
as nupomah Binladen likes to say -
"there is no smoke without fire...":)

    And finally, I’ll give you a quote
Skreamer`a from the same Generationco-
which directly concerns our ha-
Zeta: "...I just feel sorry for those people
(ZXTime, for example), which themselves do not
they get what they want..."                  
                                        
    How everyone loves the words "I'm sorry"or
"it's just a pity", which are designed to uni-
to point out a low level of intelligence
the people they were addressed to
spoken (written). These words are still
they call, if not the true, then the desired
disdain, arrogance. "...I want you
sorry..." - one of the disputants will say when
Yes, he no longer has the impenetrable stupidity
there will be arguments. He'll say the same thing
and man, ywho has run out of arguments
and he wants to be morally self-satisfied
(what a word :)), indicating how much he
wants to see his opponent stupid... 
                                        
    Oh well. Get to the point. Oh great
The greatest Skreamer!  Show us, pathetic and
poor people, to understand our desire! :)))

    Okay, I have something else to say...
talk about Generations. But so ucnu-
sal almost seven pages (screens) of the current
hundred... Somehow summing up the above
it remains to say that GenZ#2 leaves
quite a contradictory impression. C
on the one hand - briefly, clearly, informatively
matubho, something new. On the other hand
- subjective, somewhat arrogant. Kpo-
Moreover, there is a feeling of instability in
judgments and beliefs - I remember in
GenZ#01  it was written:  "The word "scene"
sucks. We weren't standing next to each other. We are us, a
"scene" is just a figment of someone's imagination

the demeanor just seems to be “stage-like”, down-

scener"Skreamer. And the authors convince
everyone that the article about Crick, which was written
somehow accidentally and accidentally placed
whether in the first release Generation Z - annoyance-
no error.   A on my subjective
look, the authors Generations simply don’t want

Hasn't been in our review for a long time
games, and then there’s such a loud name
- Star Craft. True, this is only a demo
this, but still... You can control it with the mouse
andbuttons.                             
                                        
    Everything slows down a little, but oh well,
For a demo version it's forgivable. In this version
You can build 7 types of buildings. Such
like base, windmill, factory, forge, apato-
ria, science center and sanctuary. B called
For some reason some buildings are missing
we letters.  Base - gives workers and can
build a foundation. It also serves as a month-
where workers take the extracted resources.
Windmill - I still haven’t gotten around to using it
nyal.  Most likely, it’s just not realistic
called in the demo version. Factory - pure boeh-
new building. Produces ground boeh-
new equipment: tank, rocket launcher and touriquet.
A turiket is something like a cannon. Forge
- the purpose also remains a mystery.
Aerotopia - produces air units:
grande, gargoyle and anti-aircraft gun.  Scientific
center - purpose unknown. Sanctuary
- produces two units: guru and dark
flock. Well, that seems to be all.               
                                        
    Now about playability. The game itself
to myself, as mentioned above, a little
slows down.  Obstacle avoidance algorithm
leaves much to be desired. Your units can
about to run in a completely unexpected direction
direction - to where it is not necessary.  Remains
hope that in the full version of all these
there won't be any problems.                       
                                        
    A few words ographics. She is
at an average level - and bad to say
nothing good and nothing good either.             
                                        
                                        
    In general, I would like to support the
tora and tell him that he is hurting
What a deal!

    Cherkasy electronic magazine. Pom-
well, I reviewed the first issue and, in general,
something quite harsh and skeptical
responded about him. But I did it because
that I didn’t see anything special and useful
nogo in this edition. Took him as one
from many "one-day events" that are destined
die after the first release.      
                                        
    But when the second issue came out,
expecting a not so clumsy interface
(probably preferred to use someone else's
"Voronovsky" :) shell than using
get rid of your buggy), came to the conclusion,
that the guys are pretty serious.
And even though they barely have enough material for
magazine issue, but one feels
some kind of... "grip", or something. The editor is
but it has potential just likeeditor
(but not a proofreader :)), but materials
for its “processing” it is catastrophically impossible
enough.                                
                                        
    Most of this issue is dedicated to
on the “left” material, which has little to do with
Spectrum (if we made a newspaper like this,
then they would come out weekly :)). Although this
many Spectrums suffer (and have suffered)
some publications.                            
                                        
    By and large, there is nothing yet
evaluate.   The magazine doesn't particularly
showed and did not show off any originality,
not informative...

    This program is designed to create
giving a video, which, in fact, is clear from
names.  VS has a friendly inter-
face and flexible system of capabilities.     
                                        
    To be honest, I couldn't appreciate the
the full range of capabilities of this program
we, since we have not yet had to borrow -
I'm transferring video from a pussy to ZX. But
even after such a “superficial” knowledge
