               Overview of software


(C) DarkMax / RS


   Hei everyone who did not get sick and all pisyukom
still sits on the good old SPECCY.

   With you DarkMax a review soft'a has visited Brest in recent 
times. Can not say that it was too much, but soft, as they say 
should be taken not quantity but quality, though we can not say 
that this same ill-fated soft suffered from abundance of 
quality, but at the same time from a larger number of low 
quality soft'a You can choose the soft, which is different

the best quality, but ... E-uh ... damn, damn, is obsessed with 
... 

   Okay, let's start the review:


                 Games:


         E-SWAT by U.S. GOLD LTD

           Reliz by JUPITER 77


   This game is for those who like to break
forward, not stopping, and taking down all at
its bloody path. The game is made by
ROBOCOP'a type, but the graphics worse, and you
manage some tough guy. Pleases
only that you can play together.


    FIENDISH FREDDY'S by MINDSCAPE INC

        Reliz by FLASH (buggy)


   Quite an interesting toy with excellent
graphics. You are the artist
Circus and performs many mind-blowing tricks to earn money
on something that I was too lazy to translate from
English. The game has a lot of good animation and good (funny) 
music accompaniment.



                  MARGO

              by FATALITY'97


   An interesting puzzle game with a fairly
unusual rules. Nice music, user-friendly interface and 
interesting logic make this game very attractive. The 
disadvantage is the inability to control the mouse. 


          GUN RUNNER by HEWSON

         Reliz by REAL SOFTWARE


   You are armed with very dangerous astronaut
arms and a burning desire to dunk and all
everything. So if you're a fan of space
strelyanok, then this game will have you on
taste.


         BUGGY RANGER by SYSOFT

         Reliz by REAL SOFTWARE


   Racer kamikaze came to start a band. Ahead of you waits high 
cliffs, steep slopes, as well as lots, hunting for your 
helicopters. You will save only one - CHEAT MODE in the intro.



          BATTLE OF THE PLANET

             by MIKRO-GEN

         Reliz by REAL SOFTWARE


   3D-style space shooter ELITE,
but with a more dynamic graphics. Your goal
protect the global population of regularly
disembarking them DESTROER'ov. On the planet, you can also 
repair your ship to fuel and replenish

ammunition. For giperpryzhka to another planet will charge at a 
station (similar to a polyhedron) and then appeared on the map 
system, select the target. 


        TRANSMUTER by CODE MASTERS

          Reliz by REAL SOFTWARE


   And again it - space strelyanka. But
already in style NEMESIS'a. A more precise almost complete 
copy. You fly on a space ship and Smal everything that gets in 
the box Your view.



             Systems, etc.:


     CODE CRASHER FOR PRINCE OF PERSIA

           by VIRTUAL CREATORS


   Great gift for fans of Prince of Persia (which it has not 
passed). Asking level number, k-in lives, points, etc.

you will immediately receive the corresponding password.


         SUPER TEXT VIEVER v1.3

     by RED LIMITED DRUNKARDS GROUP


   Normal viever texts with some new features. For example you 
can do string search or select one of five font formats. You 
can download the text together with viever'om to disk as an 
executable file. But if you do not have a mouse,

you do not just rugnetsya on the rate of movement direction and 
the original split-screen. Nevertheless, this viewer to Today 
is the best. 


             ZX-WINWORD v2.1

           by STARS OF KELADAN


   A good text editor with great potential. You can paint
Text that is inserted into them sprites, change
fonts. In general, all in order to write an article in some 
magazine. But, as they say, nothing is perfect in the world:

little tormoznutaya listalka and the impossibility of reversing 
line slightly spoil this useful software product. 


         TURBO DISK UTILITY v1.0

     by RED LIMITED DRUNKARDS GROUP


   In principle, the same FUT, but all the functions
are much faster. Moreover, there are
function to copy discs. There is only
One drawback is the total lack of interface.


          FAST DISK COPIER v2.0

           by NORTH STAR GROUP


   Normal potrekovaya copier with turboloaderom. It is possible 
to format the host disk, and also can be installed with a copy 
of which track. 


            PCD v6.2 by KSA

          improved by VEKA / CPU


   Coolest packer has no world
analogues. :-) This time obezglyuchennaya
(???) Version. It has convenient interface and
the greatest degree of contraction in previously known packers. 
But if you have a long block you will have to go to drink tea).



              Xplayer v7.9

           by CREATOR PRODUCT


   A good player of almost all types of
music. But as usual sums interface.


                Demos:

1. LAST PROJECT
2. 63 BIT!
3. HAPPY128
4. OPERA HALLUCINATIONS
5. CONDOMMED


   The last point should be mentioned separately.
Very good deme of E-MAGE, but the music
leaves much to be desired and there is not that dynamic, as in 
TRASHe. (By the way music last steep).



   We should also remember the First Belarusian magazine 
ZX-ELEMENT. In principle, by content of the magazine very nice, 
and we hope this quality will continue in

subsequent issues. Just a good idea to
fix bugs in the shell and whistles
its a little more.


    On this note, I finished the lyric.

         Until next issue!
