Hello comrade Slava!

Today I saw your “Black Raven” in Peters. We launched it on the Sprinter,
it is now at the Peters office in Vosstaniya, it went fine, only
it was a little visible how sprites flicker in the demo show of the fight, but
as soon as the turbo mode (21 MHz) was turned on, it became very smooth and fast, all
the flickering disappeared as if by hand - the most natural real-time strategy.

Sincerely yours Igor

Well, thank God - otherwise some people here are tired of screaming about incompatibility :)

What does “flickering” mean? Is there some kind of scientific term to understand?

IM> but as soon as they turned on the turbo mode (21 MHz), it became very smooth and

Yeah, even too much - before you have time to notice, nothing
will be left of your soldiers :) By the way, for beginners Gamers are not recommended to play TURBO, and even less
on 21 MHz 8-[ ]

The first good news: Dmitry from G-Soft completed all 16 levels for people
(!!!!!) in v1.01. In his opinion, the greatest difficulty was passing levels 15 and
16 due to the presence of demons and distant mines. He
liked the final cartoon :))
It’s not surprising that it’s G-Soft, because at one time they released
"WarCraft"-demo in ZX-Formate, and therefore they "entered" the Black War better than anyone else.

Warm greetings, Slava!

Vyacheslav is that you?
...why were you telling Igor Maznitsa about Black Raven 1.01?

VM> What does “flickering” mean? Is there some scientific term to help
VM> understand?

are they buggy? :)

Good Luck...
