Review - About the Russian market updates: Altere Beast, New Dizzy,
Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Rally Cross.
REVIEW
In this section I will give a small review of the most
remarkable innovations of the Russian market. Not be expected
to section of some descriptions, tips, etc.: it only aims to
show whether or not to buy this or that toy, or is it pure
garbage. So, let's begin.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Design-Design
Another "new" ... One gets the impression that the whole
quality software to our country has already entered, but stayed
trash type Rally Cross'a and Crime Busters'ov ... , (
What we see at this time? A new and very dynamic space
Action! Cool? Aha! Level in 1984 ... =) Although the authors
persistently hide the date of its release, but the same
Penetrator 198 ... dense year of release, in my opinion,
surpasses all indicators Invasion ... Ah yes, here there is
AY-sound (for 128K), suggesting that is not such a game and the
old ... But no less miserable. Imagine: a breakneck speed,
primitive graphics (a la Blitz), the absence of music and, in
addition, the volume table of records (a la Dark Star) ...
Well, of course, all this magnificence, impossible to discern
who and where and how: you die quickly and painlessly.
Conclusion and the foregoing is this: although you may, and
fortunate enough to kill someone (hopefully), but in the long
_eto_ play will not have to believe me ...
Finally, the rating of this masterpiece:

Altered Beast
Sega, Activision 1988
The full corporate version of "The Beast", which we all so
long promised, finally came out ... Everything seems to be
present: and 4 completely different level, and so-called final
cut, and large color graphics ... Although that's just the
graphics, the manufacturer and podkachala. Simply put, all the
graphics in the game - scanning, and not the best way ... The
situation is about the same as in the Golden Ax'e (also,
incidentally, by Sega): frightening colorful characters rush
around on the screen, shamelessly stripping the game of
attraction ... As in the case of the "Golden Axe", the game
saves only the "colorful" ... Would be a graphic black and
white - I think it would be difficult understand what is
depicted on the screen ...
But enough of me to criticize this very toy, because it
turned out very, very nice: arcade-style "kill them all with
one hand in conjunction with just great music (a long time I
have not heard of such a Western composers!) - it will not
Invasion of the Body Snatchers! ;))
In my opinion, this Altered Beast needs to be in the
collection of every self-respecting fan of this kind of games.
If you attracted by promises to destroy the army of mummies and
demons one reception, this game is - for you. So find it - and
you will not regret it!

Rally Cross
CodeMasters 1989
Oh no! All games KodMasters simply have to be masterpieces!
Oh, no, no again ... How was it possible for such a beautiful
picture =) to create such an ugly race? : ~ (
Before you load this toy, I beg you to run a couple Dizey or
Seymour, finally! And then all this is possible and give up on
KodMastersah, but this is not the most pleasant.
What is the game? Imagine, say, Super
Cars (Gremlin). OK? Now remove from her music, good graphics, a
shop where you can buy everything from new cars to prichindalov
to the old, the opportunity to create mischief on the road and
taunt opponents ... Presented? That is the Rally Cross. Cool?
Not the word! Now you understand why I give such low scores
lower?

New Dizzy
B. Kutin, D. halibut 1993
Yes! So we waited for the new Dizyu! At this time we
remaking kodmasterovskoy Dizzy 3.5. Compare this
Dizyu with any other I'll wait, but here's what caught my
eyes after the first seconds of acquaintance with the program:
- A lot of grammatical errors (not enough that a Russian in
authors seem to the problem - it's that, but had called
Inforcom Inforkom'om - forgive the authors of the IPC could
not, in
resulting from the distribution declined:) And sorry ...
Game 93
year we saw just now.
- Have already become a tradition every possible inaccuracies
(poor Dozy
called them "grandma" (!!!), and yes even gave him, that is
her
a movie theater! (Who does not believe, the location right
on the site of the old TA: BABUSHKIN CINEMA ... Wow! Such
bullying
poor Dizyami we have not seen since UTYUGOV!
- The old schedule (from the same Dizzy 3.5), only the sprites
races painted in a new way (as you blue grass?):) The new
"races Paint is not just making the game variety, but, in my
opinion,
spoil her as much as possible. : (Just seen that before
Our crude, crude project.
That's all that I knew from the beginning, not immersed in
the process of passing. However, those who have problems with
this game, I can advise to apply to the journal Adventurer # 5.
There contains a number of tips that would be enough to advance
far enough.
What else can you say about a game of such a class? Quality,
I think it could be placed somewhere between a Smagly
and Smagly 2. As you can imagine, nothing good in it.

I think for the first issue will be enough ... But in the
next promise continue to familiarize readers with the so-called
"Novem" ...
