NAVEZLI NOVYA
(C) KVAZAR
Summer we do not indulge too much on new
software. A couple of toys, a few demos
one magazine, "Fan-2. With newspapers, the situation
some better, but also did not sugar. For
last month, arrived in Gomel: "PILOT36 and 37", "SINCLAIR
CLUB-2", "OPTRON-36" "ZXNEWS-51. Due to the fact that the editor
"Polesie" temporarily (hopefully) gone out in the
Fido, novya not very much as though
and news. Yet, we were able to find a couple of interesting new
products that deserve attention. Meet.
BATTLE SHIP + MODEM
Fenomen '2000
----------------------
Do you like "Battleship"? If yes, then you certainly
remember this old toys, where the field was 20x20 cells, the
ships could put on the diagonal, and skirmishes were
accompanied by plaintive howls moving on you aircraft. Cool
toy, but now with Computer play is not in rush, and another
call is not always obtained. Not a problem! Mogilev team
Fenomen released dial-up version of "Battle Ship", with the
driver under CDOS-modem. Now safely call his best friend and
arrange him a paragraph in the middle of the night, I mean
carnage on the phone. Modem option is decorated quite nicely,
there is a simple terminal mode, everything is done on the
level. In addition, in this version maintained the possibility
of bezmodemnoy game, so enjoy it can any spektrumist.
STAGGER
Fenomen 'Monarch '2000
--------------------------
Another joint release promising Mogilev Groups
Homel Monarch freestyle artist. At this time, your attention is
invited odnointovaya mini-game - Shooting. At Minsk demopati
Millennium she took a well-deserved first place. Graphics very
respectable, carefully traced. Coding is made on a very high
level - try to stay within a single interrupt. By controlling
the spacecraft and collecting towards a variety of prizes, need
to break through the enemy barrage positions to the ship-womb
and kill it. Simple and yet, a good way to relax after a hard
day's work.
CLICKMANIA
Optical Brothers'2000
------------------------
Finally she saw the light! The game, which this newspaper is
literally endured at his hands. And here, at the Minsk pati
Millennium, Spectre I solemnly handed proprietary floppy disk
with the latest release of Brotherhood wearing glasses:). Who
does not know its ancestor on the PC, for those it says - is a
logic game in style: Pass level, open an image. Stop, do not
rush to spit! Firstly, tchotchke quite playable, unlike their
counterparts, pathology. Need to clear the playing field,
removing him from the cubic one color. You will help prevent
stones and missiles, which have bomb explodes. All this is
accompanied by beautiful animation and characteristic sounds.
Pictures are also not simple. They all, without exception, are
drawn by hand, at this very carefully. For fans of
"strawberries" - there is a section with the girls in the style
of Japanese anime. Scores are unloaded to disk, which can be
welcome. Overall - a great puzzle toy which will bring you many
pleasant moments.
SEAQUEST
Taras' Fisher '98
---------------------
Graphic adventyura performed in the style of "Star Heritage"
and "Mirrors." The only difference is the use of scanned,
dvuhplanovoy graphics, on the one hand - a new step in the
development of such games, and the other a little bit tired
eyes. Here, you acted as a sailor on the submarine, which
to save the world, miraculously prevent the third World
war. Apparently, the plot is based on the eponymous TV series,
but vouch for it can not.
Go tell - we see a demo version, but as the authors say,
fully playable. What, though, let's see how this statement is
true.
From the first action, even the most unassuming player notes
outright stupidity game story. Scenario not only thought, but
also contains glaring errors. For example, as you talking
dolphin, who considers himself a fish? Or do you take off the
table Commander card, and then, looking at the table you can
see her there, again. Got out of hand cleaner, which must
necessarily (!) come up with dirty socks, totally unfamiliar to
you a flask, you immediately determine that it is a virus. But
most of all pins Terminator (well still have not Robocop)
forced to rest after each step. About a lot of mistakes and
typos, after this, we can not mention.
The game literally nashpigovanna glitches, ranging from
looping the disk to hang in a variety of situations. Just try
to shoot a midshipman cigarette, take a cleaner, mop, or relax
by the open "door number three."
As clear that even this deme is not only not completed yet,
but frankly cheese, from the script and ending coding. Graphics
on the order of magnitude better, but too conspicuous apparent
discrepancies image text. Passage of this technique in
Basically, a simple toy, now under the heading "Weakly pass?".
PiFORMAT 2.3
Picon'99
----------------
Plain formatter disk with a very unusual but extremely
useful function - Restoration of bad floppies. A similar
opportunity available in popular tools FUT, but this program
running order of magnitude faster, and takes much less
place. Interface window and cursory, with support
kempston-mouse.
MICROADAPTER 2.0i
Orc '2000
---------------------
An interesting tool to help those who work with dvuhplanovoy
graphics. It allows you to select from any standard color
the background image, burn it to disk, to put it on the second
screen. Thus, we can convert monotonous schedule - in
dvuhplanovuyu, shimmering, moving screens one pixel.
Illustration of the work shown in the splash picture of the
program, for which we used the work of our artist Monarch'a.
LASER COMPACT 5.2
Dmitry Pyankov'2000
-----------------------
The next version of the graphic compressor. The program used
a new efficient algorithm, resulting in compression increased
significantly. The author claims that immaterial Loss
grysh can only be compared The original
image 6912 27 with version 4.0. In the course of numerous Laser
Compact 5.2 2554 10 lennyh tests it was noticed that Laser
Compact 5.0 2576 11 shows a similar decrease Laser Compact 4.0
2639 11, only in the case of very small Laser Compact 3.2 2644
11 images, where too many empty Quick Screen View 2688 11 of
the seats, for example, solid Lazy pack 1.2 2689 11 black
background. For all other Zxzip 1.2 3008 12 parameters and a
rich set Mspack 1.0 3267 13 service functions, this program
Hrust 1.2 3348 14 is the best in its class.
Pay attention to the results
one of the tests, where the Packers ZIP, MsPACK and HRUST shows
for comparison. Now, hopefully, before you do not will face the
problem choice among the mass of graphic compressors. LC 5.2 -
the best!
TAP-> TR-DOS 0.3
Denis Tsigancov '2000
--------------------------
The main purpose of this product is converting. Tzx and. Tap
files into a set of blocks with a view of files dropped from
the tape using the copyist tape> drive. Once launched, is
expected to press any key, and then read the disk directory and
sought the source file name. After that, the fun begins the
conversion process that exists in the specified file ... If the
converted file. Tzx - the screen will Displays information
about all its perverted, ie, All infoshki, etc. but the disk
will be written only what would be similar to block codes. In
the prog is possible to upload the log to disk. Suggestions /
proposals, please send the author at 2:469 / 133.21.
QUICK COMMANDER 2.6
Spectre / OB '2000
-----------------------
If you have not seen before, this commander, you're pretty
much lost. To date, the only program of its kind on the tricked
out features that can compete with Real Commander'om. The
distinguishing feature - a very high speed of the disc at all
stages: from formatting before copying. Set of features is
truly impressive, it's easier to say something here not
supported by the mouse, the upper memory is full text viewer
and music player. Present in virtually all known features,
except perhaps the disk-doctor.
Interface is original, although adherents CONVERpodobnyh
shells (as well as author of these lines), it might seem
uncomfortable. Still, the commander deserves to be take their
rightful place on your system drive.
