ЇЄ ЄєЇOBZOR SOFTWARE ЇєЄ ЄєЇ
(C) UnBEL! EVER ^ XTM
Software lately, as it were diminished, so that
speak plainly about. By this, the present review will
ever completely chaotic, diverse, and at the same time
it's not that short, but not such a volume:)
Before I had time to BD # 0B hint about gfx with DOXY'98, as
there collections of the most graphic, and as in the past, and
for This year at once. Worked hard on our good friends from the
group 4D, that leads to pernicious ideas - from the bourgeoisie
that forces remained, to make a primitive viewer works with the
party itself?? All is What then 20 pictures? This is for you,
sorry, do not E'97 with 150 works that cock in one memory
zapakuesh.
From the same DOXYCON'a received two demo of the second and
third place (see the results in BD # 0B). A sick fan
of bourgeois demomeykinga I even diskofitsiroval this stool with
elements of the package. So you can safely look for in network
and markets of their cities:
MINDCONTROL CLONe
(C) CRAZYTRONIC'99 (C) ZERO TEAM'99
Size: 529 sectors Size: 47 sectors
Talking about the content of these demos I absolutely do not
want to, so protect from uncontrolled eruptions of various
liquids on the screen. CLONe somewhat more interesting -
although there some effects have ... Besides propaganda BORN
DEAD'a! :) Still, there are two 4k intro, the first (4K INTRO)
and last (ZOOOOOM) place, respectively ... Well In general, not
a sight for the faint of heart ... Almost the same situation
with the level of work on PHAT9. Both the demo work: CRAPMO-2
by Yerzmyey and BoA by Raww Ars have virtually no right to
exist. The first general written in BASIC'e, well, a second,
though sometimes causes a no interest, but clearly not
something that we all lacked. Yes and the size of BoA with 16k
intro (my version of the disc - 62 sector) as well, and CLONe
... I do not want to say that the demo should necessarily take
a lot of disk space, but not in vain exists separately such a
thing as 16K intro?!
Work with other party in the past too methodically to do, but
look at them like less and less. More precisely, we look
almost at that - of all as the finger to suck,
and from the same, but still ... Although there is a demo, about
which can not fail to mention! Of course, this
NAPALM
DI: HALT: 99 democompo 1-st place
party version
(C) ETERNITY INDUSTRY'99
SIZE: 717 sectors
I just could not get in today's review by this new
demo-operation from the very probably productive of the Russian
group. NAPALM's first this year, indeed, a revolutionary
work for the sake of what was worth all this time to live ...
Fundamentally new style for the Spectrum itself demo is taken
from the Amiga / Pc, where such things are now predominant.
From the first seconds you brought down the mighty world of
modern 3D effects, which did will not let go until the very
end, and only podgruzki will give opportunity to relax a
little. It is not excluded that you all not impressed, since
there are no scenes of sexual aggression, drinking 7 * UP'a or
damage pastry on the faces of people out there no. And
especially not in NAPALM'e dancing ARTY! All demo it is 100%
without any impurity effects animation, well, almost without
the slightest ...
You can endlessly argue against NAPALM'a as
demos chunk'ov how technology and 3D as the theme for the
effects. Yes, we still remember well the good old days of
scrolls, Multicolor stripes and digital sound. All this was good
but in the past. Time to open your eyes to the present and then
even the blind will be obvious that with the release of
NAPALM'a SPECTRUM moves another step forward on the road as his
death, and to his greatness.
Say that the new job Eternity Industry - SUXX, can only
those fatcat pseudo-sceners who themselves even to the level of
blizko these effects can not come up. However, a loyal friend -
a work as NAPALM, should be the sole and repeat
develop or improve in this area has demomeykinge
sense. "Net" effects will be good for the first time, but
Their second appearance, unsupported by any meaningful
will only lead to very negative results. It is like
my opinion, although it is possible that ...
... You behind the scenes for 5
years!
Arty / DR
By the way, you'll see much faster NAPALM, especially graphics
Paracels'a, which was used in this demo, if you look
it from start to finish on a black and white monitor. That is,
in those original conditions, which was established for this
work ...
DEVOTION
CAFe'99 democompo 1-st place
final version
(C) ANTARES'98-99
SIZE: 889 sectors
Not quite flattered, I said on last ANTARES'ov
newspaper, and how would have their reasons. However, now
DEVOTION when finally assembled and distributed across the
country, I had a few change their minds.
I will not here describe in detail where you are coming in that
same demo. Surely everyone can find and watch DEVOTION, making
at that their own conclusions. However, one thing is clear -
the demo turned out good. After leaving not so far from the
level of effects and "Semantic" load a previous work (ECSTATIC
DUB), ANTARES'ovtsy created a natural example of a purely
Spectrum demo, with high-quality color graphics, uncomplicated
and easy listening to music, and good old-effects. This is just
what awaited tired chunk'ovymi bump'ami fans
classical demomacking'a. Well, all graphics FIL'a led
I have a deep admiration!
NAPALM and DEVOTION, as it were two poles in demostroenii, and
it was would be very nice to see them on a party and see what
more people would have liked. And that, at that party were
ANAMNESIS and JAM, and the same 63 bit 3 / 4 .... That would be
compo! It's a pity only that the number of deer do not
understand: (
In contrast, high-quality demo surveyed for something more
another example here is a useful softiny as
USER FILTERS V.002 ALFA
(+11 Filters)
(C) SYNDROM'99
Size: 13 (shell) + 25 (filters) sectors
Very, very simply decorated program that is designed to
all sorts of perverted over the images. The main span is
only for loading and recording images and the actual activation
filters. There is also a function UNDO. All the same malice
lurking in modules with extension "F", which are separately
written by utilities, it is and deal with all distorted. Well,
In general, modular architecture, such as an open system. The
truth here no explanation on how to write and attach their
filters (at sense, memory allocation, and in general) is not
given. And it is not surprising, since the program obviously
home version and for distribution was not intended.
Filters, and their 11 different pieces, all different, and the
farm is quite suitable. From simple shifts and turns to a very
original effects, which are words to describe it is very
difficult. Published in due time OBERON'e # 5 program SSO, as
well well then sorry, a small number of filters available in
Excess DeLuxe Paint (demo), now is more than compensated. It
would be desirable only hope that the authors do not will throw
the case and will bring the program to logical end and the end
user in a more convenient and complete form.
-------------------------------------------------- -------------
Oddly, but increased post-party activity in the media
media is observed. Although, perhaps, just everything
write pushut and write ... While you can only talk about the
exit KrNews # 10, # 9 Polesie and three rooms NICRON'a -
110/111/112. The latter, incidentally, is devoted exclusively
to the Review CC'999 photographs of the famous, and in their
original Bulchukeevskom style. Well, in the 113-ohm NICRON'e
already reports from the CAFe'99 ...
In Samara did not hacked, not just morally
outdated, but still logs - ZX POWER # 3, VOYAGER # 3
MIRACLE # 3. About the first I have in the room you love to
confess, and second in general, as the journal, the thing is
ambiguous. It seems like there is what to read, but as you look
closer .... However, speaking as flagship computer enthusiasts
PROFI - this edition justifies its purpose. That's just a shame
that people are absolutely not learn, even at their own
mistakes! Again in the journal all spoils Kempston mouse, which
is enabled by default. Switch off it certainly can press during
the intro one, according to authors, it is quite natural key.
That's just to learn about this key and the very possibility of
disabling the mouse can be from the very magazine, which, of
course, no shit will not work if this the mouse itself on your
machine there. A vicious circle! Or authors it seems that all
such mozgany and find themselves mute button This nasty
rodent?? Generally, I came up with a brilliant idea protection
on the basis of the mouse! Will work perfectly on all machines
where this device is not implemented. Delatite simple: take a
protected program inserts a very zaglyuchenny mouse driver and
doing it by default enabled. Everything! For the same money will
sell that combination of buttons that the mouse otlyuchaet!
Absurdity ....
By the way, here's a program that from the annex to this
most VOYAGER'u:
TEXT UTILITY v2.8 +
(C) Doctor Dash'99
Size: 21 Sector
Softina like thin, but life is very useful -
converter of texts from one end of the marker lines (# 0D, #
0A, # 0D / # 0A) in any of the other possible standards. Prior
to that, the world enjoyed the previous version (1.1) which is
just as publikovlas application to one of the rooms VOYAGER'a.
Well, some individuals advanced comrades generally used for
these purposes assembler, in which each time have written a
small piece of code.
See a new version of this program was like a double pleasure,
since in the process of creating BORN DEAD'a occasionally come
across very unhealthy texts that need to quickly bring to
state # OD / # OA, and according to this, TEXTUT we enjoyed,
using and will be used. Well, what the user gets?? The new
version has it all: built-in viewer, a breakdown of the text on
the line more inhibitory control, naipolneyshaya information
directory of the CD with errors in simple English words. How
would everything in its place - no one only - to work properly!
Therefore, using TEXT UTILITY any version ...
REMEMBER!
... That the processing of text, more than 16Kbayt, the output
file strictly through 16384 bytes from the beginning you will
find very an interesting character with code "0", which earlier
in your text has not been noticed, and indeed to the symbols in
the usual way text files, has nothing to do! The conclusion
from this one, did program - use it to at least learn how it is
buggy!
-------------------------------------------------- -------------
Here is another phenomenon of our time - frivarnye reading room
and the system to create magazines / newspapers generate dozens
of new publications. AND is a completely innocuous children
become publishers "Polesie" with them forever glyuchaschey
KEMPSTON mouse ... These gods for able to write "in Russian,
but do not know assembly, steel The authors of Page / Text
Maker. And how can we not recall with KAN0 him famous: "In this
country everyone loves to just write ..."
Various publications under the authority of the above-mentioned
shell appeared so much that I just can not right now
list all names. And, as expected,
woke up that same is not occupied in the overall mass of users,
which is ready to write about anything and not for others.
However, the most interesting in the other - what a shell is
and the newspaper / magazine! AND here's a great example that
characterizes this statement.
FANAT # 1
(C) MELTED SNOW
Size: 649 sectors
A new electronic journal from the city .... Carpet! Let all the
swelling envious, but in a small provincial town could still
squeeze out one more electronic edition, with
continuing to produce the light and others.
The orientation of the magazine and its format is new to the
Spectrum. Author argues that this "magazine without censorship
for enthusiastic young people," at the time, it seemed to me
that this publication doth make "Emulyatorschikom" and focused
on the same "emulyatorschikov. Is this good or bad, certainly
not up to me, but degradation I think, is obvious. By the way,
do not be afraid of the lack of censorship, as shown by the
experimental reading, nothing like that obscene what was, for
example, in the same HERESY # 1, you do not found in FANAT'e
... In short, the publication in its original, find and read it
does not interfere with each, and Here you'll be pleased with
this most content is already another question! By the way, the
rest of the disk, appended so-called "Application" which the
bulk of its oriented PC!!! Is not that original?? , (
FANAT # 1 '# 2
(C) ICE GROUP
Size: 115/121 Sector
But that does not really original, so it is to publish more and
newspaper with the same name and same reader. And I
it seems it's not a coincidence! Just wretchedness surrounding
authors apparently leaves its mark as the name,
as well as to the content.
FANS newspaper published in Dimitrovgrad and is made
specifically for enlightenment local spektrumistov of modems
and networks. Free space in the newspaper is filled with
diverse and very funny nonsense. Particularly instructive about
the product DEMON'a dangers of drugs and substances similar to
them. But against vodka DEMON has nothing! I remember that junk
in pyanku dorm, which I somehow got ... Case that
Marshal Dimitrovgrad spektrumistov - FIDGET - no longer
the first year of hanging out in Samara, ostensibly to get
knowledge in the institute. But in his spare time he makes
forays into the local spektrumistov in order to devour / stock
up on software, and sometimes arranges such here
vodka-pyanstvovaniya. Appearing in Dimitrovgrad, on vacation,
FIGET shakes the local people as well as the duration of the
summer vacation was great, the people rastryassya and this
begat a newspaper.
In short, the publication recommended that fans of plain and
obscene text. I hope that I personally until the third number
is not live to see it!
-------------------------------------------------- -------------
Well, at bedtime, I would venture to describe to you, dear
readers, really nice edition, which appeared recently. This
most perfect justifies its name
PSYCHOZ # 1-3
(C) TRIUMPH'99
Size: 500 sectors
So what happens if we take all the darkest and nezdrovoe of BORN
DEAD'a one usushenny MIRACLE # 3, so we add to this a bit
HERESY, stirring heat to simmer, and pour
dye to taste!? Here it goes out - utter
Psychosis! There simply must understand one thing: "If the deal
took IRONMAN, then there is nothing to healthy does not work,
no matter how cool. "On the one hand, PSYCHOZ not add to your
skill, but on the other ...
What is this newspaper? Well, in appearance (# 2)
like HERESY, but the color! On the content - MIRACLE # 3, at
As in the chase IRON'a and reprints of PTYuCh'a ... Well, in
Otherwise, clearly felt sepulchral breath of our modest
Combat sheet:)
Would not want to pre-praise, but I personally almost daily
liked (at least # 2 which I caught the first). As
least one of the few electronic editions after SCENERGY and
MIRACLE # 3 that I read, though not with such interest, but from
beginning to end. And this despite all sorts of different bugs
and glitches in the still emerging only a shell of the
newspaper (it's hard to read texts, where instead of a comma is
the point!).
The greatest pain give the newspaper of course texts and
Music from IRONMAN'a. "It's just a fact .... shame (ecstasy),
not without the jitteriness to start I'd say. Can this
nonsense, I not very long ago used to read! Well, music from
"Iron" has always been unconventionally advanced.
In general, see Psychosis, turn layers, swallow with decyl
yellow and will clean cool lads:)
HERESY # 3
(C) DEMIURGE ASH
Size: 801 Sector
Third issue without delay to wait. Maybe with time
Newspaper and lapse of the first issue, but high-quality zoom in
Ash'a is always! Here and there, again he does not sleep either
Arty, nor the organizers of the DI: HALT'a, not even his former
tribesmen - Enternity Industry ... In truth Bezbashenny
Comrade!
The most evil of the whole newspaper - is the initial intra.
Further it is already possible nothing to read - the intro says
it all. Not that as part of supplement to the newspaper, not
just with her subject demo buduyuschey amusing logical game and
a new (2.1) Modern version Word'a. That's all I do not have
enough space to write, but it is necessary - all BORN DEAD
written from start to finish in the Modern Word'e! And if
you're someone said that BD is in WinWord'e, WordStar'e, DN
Editor'e, LEXICON'e or anything else - safely spit in his face!
DEMO OR DIE # 2
(C) SCENE
SIZE: 1005 853 sector
And then, when the entire review has been completed, in light
of his second issue for young demomeykerov. What is there in
the magazine interesting? Well here we must first know what the
most interests you, dear reader? If you wanted to read the
entire life interview with the creator of the language "C" or
learn how everything is right play QUAKE, then DOD # 2 most
likely you will like it! Neprodvinutye in demomacking'e
comrades certainly looks become familiar with a whole selection
of materials to create various effects, the benefit in this
room except the words, there is also deal - sources.
Application again, not bleschit - where all the Scene
Photoshop'y obyaschali that since the first issue? It is true I
personally was glad to found on the disk with the journal Lazy
Pack v2.0, but it appeared that during the release of this
program in the world, it is hopelessly outdated and does not
stand any competition with Laser Compact v4.0/5.0 no for easy
interface, no quality package. But, say to me the authors of
the journal, in our application, there is a steep Editor
Digital music - DIGITAL DESIGNER. It is nice to more, it
becomes a good tradition to release a new version The editor
for each number DOD'a. That's why only about D. DESIGNER this
was not a word in the magazine?? Or he is not part of the
application??
In general, do not be surprised that the total amount of all
the texts of the journal equal to the volume of material on
QUAKE'u, and can be slightly more than one number BORN DEAD'a.
"So is it worth doing separate log? "- for the hundredth time I
ask, why for example, by the same authors DOD'a not subscribe
to conduct pages of coding in which some major magazines, such
as SCENERGY. Both the magazine will get very interesting, and
forces need to spend on its publication much less. Co-operation
....!
