I'm 15 years old, and I love drawing on “Art Studio 128 + Mouse”
The letter was written by a 15-year-old boy named Vlad, nicknamed “Prime,” after seeing an advertisement in the magazine Spectrofon. He describes his ZX Spectrum setup and peripherals, his interest in drawing and software, asks for a catalog of new programs, and lists the magazines and games he owns. He also mentions having the game “Mortal Combat-1” and apologizes for spelling mistakes in Russian.
Hello
Sasha and Dima.
I saw your advertisement in Spectrofon and kept wondering whether I should write or not. In the end, I decided to write after all.
Now let me introduce myself: my name is Vlad, underground nickname “Prime.” I’m 15 years old, and I like drawing in “Art Studio 128 + Mouse.” At home I have a Sinclair Research Ltd +128 KB + AY8910 + COVOX + Sound Drive + 2 speakers + 2 disk drives + a color monitor “Elektronika 32 VTC 202” + 3 joysticks + Kempston Mouse + 40 control levers (buttons).
Phew, looks like I didn’t forget anything.
Now to business. As you say, you have the newest software. I’d like to take a look at your catalog. My own catalog is stored on disk and is still incomplete. As for new releases, I have a cool game called “Mortal Combat-1”; I think the demo version is included in The Faultless Magazine issue 3. At the moment I don’t really have anything super new.
As for magazines, here’s the list:
Spectrofon 1–21; ZX-Format 1–5; The Faultless Magazine 1–6; Spectrophob 6; Mukhomor 1; Speccy 1; ZX-Power 1; Sweet 1; König 1–4; Sinclair Town 1; Welcom Press 1; Adventurer 5; Spectrum Progress 1.
That’s all.
So what else should I write? Well, I guess that’s all for now, or good bye (ha).
P.S. Sorry for the typos, since I only get a “3” in Russian class.
