I greet you from the bottom of my heart, All!
Here I am holding in my hands a disk with the full version of the adventure "Mirror", written
by the Donetsk group ArtWork with the modest participation of KGS Inc. What can I say - the game turned out great. The design is imbued with the spirit of “fantasy”, the graphics are the pride of Donetsk, the color rendering is amazing, you can’t say that basically everything was done at the PC. There are no renderings or conversions, everything is drawn by hand, including
numerous animations.
The plot is thought out to the smallest detail, cleverly twisted, and makes it possible to
enjoy the game. The music corresponds to the spirit of the game.
I think that this is the first game after ZH of this class, but that's up to you to judge :) The other day the pre-release was sent to Raster for placement in ZX-Format8,
I hope XL-Design will find a place :)
The only thing that is not on the disk is protection. Within three weeks, beta testing, debugging and protection of this creation will be carried out.
Now about the main thing :), about distribution: see the pre-release in ZXF8,
evaluate and contact us. Let me remind you that the total cost of the game is
$400. The more people respond, the cheaper it will be for everyone individually.
The publication of the game intends to be :) in early to mid-May, after
receipt of the necessarynumber of applications.
Hasta la vista.

Sat Apr 11 1998, Tim Kelly squeezed the keyboard, hoping that the following
words would reach All:
TK> The only thing that is not on the disk is protection. Within three weeks
TK> beta testing, debugging and protection of this

Small glitches and typos have already been caught. It happens... We found one sure
glitch with an object splitting (well, a jug of water
wanted to separate from an empty jug, I wanted... :) We test the five of us in a scary way, without
docking at all, in order to get into each corner separately.

KL> I ask you to throw the answer with soap or into the echo, but to my address...
I throw...
KL> I wrote here in my last letter to Slava about problems with the CV, I hope There will be no such
KL> problems with this toy :)
I think not, there are some in the city of Krasnodar. But, of course, I would like
_exactly_ to know what exactly throws out the different "conics". Without knowing what to look for,
you will not find anything!

Hello, Tim!
29 Apr 98 Tim Kelly was pinching in the hope that Kostya Levichev would read about
Mirror., I read it and decided to answer:
TK> Next week I’ll post a pre-release in ZX.SPECTRUM,
TK> since many,
TK> who are here, the format is not are reading.
Or maybe it would be better if you could give me the address of the fax server? whoever needs it will take it himself, why burden the echo an extra
time.
Sincerely, Andrey.

2All: Maxim, whose letter I threw into the echo, wildly apologized and explained that
there was a slip: the one who offered him the toy confused it with some
other... :( In general, I will throw his letter of apology somewhere on Saturday - after
the next delivery of letters...
Kostya.

AI> load the echo once again.
The fac server is still illegal, I give the address:
to: ZX_Server 2:465/98.17
Subj: %LIST %HELP or whatever you want :)
But... I launch the pre-release in the echo, because I can’t load netmail.
Sorry to those with low speeds.
Please suggest some shortcomings that we can still eliminate, a few
I’ve already seen them myself, they suggested something, everything is fixed in the full version, but...
Maybe you, All, will stumble upon a bug that no one noticed, huh? ;)

Yeah, I already realized that there was just a mistake somewhere.

What does the Internet have to do with it? The server is fidosh.
