From Max Lanskih To All 6 January 1998


Hello, Andrew!

It was like this: Andrew Savichev 05 Jan 98 at 19:55 was pushing speeches to All.
Well, so I wrote.

AS> Since the majors, with the exception of DR, have created a pleasant precedent
AS> of frivolity, I suggest other Russian soft makers support their initiative!
AS> This is primarily a blow to the pirates, because, oddly enough, :),
AS> for charging money for frivolous programs, it is also assumed, I won’t say
AS> that there is criminal, but administrative liability for sure.
AS> And on the part of the authors, a very correct decision, since control over

AS> easy thing.
It may be correct, but I don’t want to say that about Slava Mednonogov’s products. IMHO, this is the only game maker in Russia who does
really GOOD things, and only for this can he be paid.
Name me at least one program that in terms of scale and quality
can compete with UFO I-II, Black Raven. Unless it's "Star Legacy".

From Vyacheslav Mednonogov To All 7 January 1998

The fact that the programs are frivolous does not mean that they will come to every home -
someone will still have to distribute them (well, there is no Internet in every home
:)
The best example is the demos from Inlights'9x. It couldn’t be more frivolous, and people take money for them in the crowd ;)

Warm greetings, Slava!

Yeah? Will they come to every house themselves? Yes, no. Until you catch them from the Internet
or go to someone to get them, they won’t come.

Hello, Max!

It’s quiet outside the window, and I’m sitting and writing a response to a letter written from Max Lanskih to
Vyacheslav Mednonogov Thu Jan 08 1998 at 22:39...

ML> PS. And where is _ALL_ the work with E'97???

2:5030/362.14 aka 2:5030/221.11 - Vladimir Larkov. It has, afaik, everything, and everything is released, but it does not have (not written yet) a boot report. Well, that’s why it’s pressing. :(
Can I overwhelm him with letters? /method - as is/ :))


With all sorts of regards and wishes.

That it is playable, that’s for sure, but is it convenient? Her inconvenience, IMHO, lies in her slowness. You can drink a mug of tea while the computer is running.

Well, crap or not crap, but the fact is that it’s quite boring - “yes, yes.” (C)
If only it had more dynamism, it would have been a sweetie. And not this built-in virus. And so...
That’s exactly “I lost so many days and nights.” I couldn't get the ship from one corner of the map to another in less than ~ 10-15 minutes of real time...

Good luck! Evgeny.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^
VP> so don’t trample on our brains, please. At least IMHO I installed it?

Hmmm... Nice to hear. After all, I also had a hand in this creation.
I wanted to release LB2 (with a three-level world - underwater/dungeon-earth/water-air) and in general, with a bunch of other bells and whistles, but
I never got around to it (it’s too hard to delve into source codes not written by you).
By the way, what is it like in big Russia? is there a LB version? Please answer by looking at the main menu _in_the_game_. (if there is the word "DONE" there, then this is the latest
version, otherwise it is one of two glitchy ones, therefore, perhaps the words of Mr. ... about
that LB is a "crap" are not so far from the truth.) If without "DONE", then I will launch
the latest version here in .trd format.

P.S. For those who think that the LB interface is ripped out of LS - look at the code
you will understand how deeply you are mistaken!

WBW, Alex
