VP>> one way or another, there are people who are still working on it.
OB> Amazing!!! Just a year ago, I thought that the Spectrum in our region
OB> was dead, but over the last six months people have begun to contact me with a request
OB> to make/get/improve the Spectrum! There were a lot of people willing
OB> to write programs/music on Speccy. Tell me, is this just happening to me
OB> or is your interest in Specky also growing again??? Ж8()

On the Spectrum, the games are kinder, or something... On IBM, I literally found games right off the bat that are _interesting_ to play, and to play more than once. And everything that is now coming out
new to IBM requires a lot of resources and still slows down. And what doesn't slow you down are one-day games. So I would rather run in Eagles
Nest than in Duma/Quake/Duke.

With all sorts of regards and wishes.

... Everything is bought from them, but everything has already been bought from us.

I don’t know whether it’s kinder or not, but it’s definitely more complicated. the same doom turned out to be more difficult on spec (probably because it’s impossible to see how you play on low res at 4
inch :) but the game is very good.
In Iron Man (where four of you race around the screen on small cars)
yesterday I played until I dropped (until I lost). very cool. (not like
Carmageddon - although that one is good :)))
dooma I want to make a shooter like Wolfenstein. only normal - with doors and
secrets. then we'll see :))) (in vain I killed the sorce. in vain :(

:)) gee gee gee - of course. She's the only good one in spec IMHO. with such music!

>Then I’ll say this: there is a PC option too.

where can I download it? just wondering - shall we switch to soap?

AK>> So this... Iron Man happens on the Spectrum too... And even I have...

IG> By the way, there is also a similar game like Iron Man - Grand Prix (sort of?)
IG> where you drive racing cars. The three of us can do it. View from above. What's so attractive about IG is that it has the most powerful inertia.

There is an even cooler toy. 3 cars, side view from top (pseudo 3D) As far as I remember, it’s called 3D Grand Pri (or something else, I might have forgotten), I’ve been looking for a long time, and no one has it. :-(((((And there it’s cool to organize races for survival (the menu puts
99 laps), the energy decreases, you have to jam on P to fix it.
Speeds are switched by releasing and pressing the fire, gas by holding the fire.
She is the best of all, can someone help me?

With respect, Alex from FFC COMPUTERS.

Speaking of birds... I remember there was such a game HARD DRIVING - racing. So there
how you crash, it was also shown from the side. Very cool !!!!
Can someone lather it up? Or in the echo?

With great respect, Eugeny!

Better in fahu. I wouldn’t refuse either, if she’s really exists.

“Energy”, as far as I remember, does not decrease...

AL>> you need to press on P to fix it. Speeds are switched by releasing and

Yeah, but if you assign yourself a sinclair joystick and keep
pressed “fire” during turns, it won’t skid...

AL>> She’s the best of all, maybe someone can help me. blurry?

3D Grand Prix, come on... Haven’t you seen it yet?! But I don’t know how to do it
(who would teach me), so I’m throwing it here.

VF>> ...if you assign yourself a sinclair-joystick and during turns
VF>> keep the “fire” pressed, it will not skid...

AL> It still carries, you need to release the fire on turns.

I was a little mistaken.. Not fire, but “up”. Those. for the first sinclair - "4", for
the second - "9". As long as you hold it, it won’t skid; if you let go, it will skid. However
this is sometimes useful and interesting (ramming is convenient). By the way, some more keys:
SS+Space - next level, SS+M+Space - exit to the menu. And if you type in the menu the phrase "ol90!" - you'll get into Basic...

AL> Hurray, you found it, thanks! I just forgot to warn you, there are glitchy
AL> versions, I saw one, where the graphics were messed up and the
AL> highway became impassable.

Yeah, that’s right. This is it, I completely forgot... I'll post the normal version on Sunday. And in this one, in the first set, in my opinion, the fifth level is spoiled, and in the second -
the fourth.

AL> I played it.

So throw it away. ;)

With all kinds of regards and wishes.
