From Dmitry Zubarev To All 19 August 1997

OK> Yes, at first they give you like 5 lives. I reached level 5 without losing more than one
OK> ;) Practice, sir ;)

I have the same story. After all, at one time it was (and IMHO it is) the most rulez
in this genre, especially if you accumulate a bunch of weapons ;) True, I didn’t go beyond 5 or 6
(I don’t remember exactly) on mortal...
The same type of game can be called Darius - but everywhere it has glitchy
levels... :( Was there a normal release somewhere? Although it is possible that I even have it and there is - but I haven't played much for a long time, and I don't want to rummage through three hundred
undocumented/uncatalogued ;) disks... So
if there is, tell me whose version it is - maybe I'll remember right away. But it seems like I definitely don’t have it - I actually have a good memory for games (I think I did) - I can tell about
most from memory the genre, the year and the manufacturer... Now, if only I could remember immortality... ;)

C u l8r,
Dmitry aka ZDW.

DZ> I have the same story. After all, at one time it was (and IMHO it is)
DZ> the coolest in this genre, especially if you accumulate a bunch of weapons ;)
DZ> True, I didn’t go further than 5 or 6 (I don’t remember exactly) on death
DZ>...

Here, the idea flashed, to make it possible to switch types of
weapons while shooting!!! After all, then it will be possible to take all the “nails” in a row so that the quality of this weapon increases, and then switch to your favorite and most convenient one for the situation. It seems that there is no more fraud in this than in autofire.

DZ> The same type of game can be called Darius - but everywhere it is with
DZ> glitchy levels...

What? And the version by FATALiTY is just as buggy???

DZ> :( Wasn’t there a normal release somewhere? Although it’s possible that

Fatality 97

^^^^^ ^^^ ^^^^^^^
DZ> memory (I think I had it)
^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^ :)

From Andrew Garavsky To All 21 August 1997

OK>> more than one ;) Practice, sir ;)
SN>
SN> Well, I don’t believe it.
But I believe it. Because I myself reached level 4 without loss.
SN> PS: At least tell me what level 8 is and how cool Bydo is. And what is there
SN> at the end.
But this is definitely not a test. After all, in the disk version there was a cheat - if before
loading a level you press the number of another level, then this other one will load.
And there were a lot of immortalities. So anyone could see him.

And now another question. Has anyone tried to hack games in, say,
Z80 format? If there are old POKE for games, then how can this be done?

Best regards, Andrey. [Team PosKot -=004=-]

hOWDIE Alexey!

iN dA MESSAGE dATES 26 Aug 97 Alexey Lyoshkin wROTE tO Oleg Khimich :

AL>>> And I like ZYNAPS better!!!

OK>> By the way, as for me, it’s even more complicated. Although I passed it to the end
OK>>

AL> :-[] So, it’s kind of endless. There are several regular
AL> levels, and they are followed by some random sequences of
AL> blocks from previous levels.

Yes?? It’s strange, maybe I had such a version, but there were somewhere levels
25-30, after passing which it fell to the beginning!

Aren’t you tired of playing so much? :-[ ]
And how much time did you spend on this (probably hours!)?

ps who forgot - this is about Zynaps ;)
