REVIEW SOFT'A
(C) UnBEL! EVER ^ SPEED co. ^ XTM
Software to Samara ever rolled a lot, and almost
for every taste, color and budget. Much probably you have
already see / buy the book market in Samara, but something
special, EXTREM'alno freshly brought me from a trip to
Country. So ...
KOL0BOK ZOOM II
(C) ASPHIXIA 'FATALITY'98
SIZE: 994 sectors
About this game is already much has been written, but it is so
good what to do without her review, I just can not! So, this
game can be characterized not otherwise Realtime Dendy Action.
On 8-bit game consoles, such programs are dominant, but
on the Spectrum ... Not that they were not there before, of
course analogs were (same BUBBLE BOBBLE) but the gameplay was
under their the big question.
KOL0BOK ZOOM II is mad frame'ovy action. From colorful
decorated background, you will learn the essence of the game.
Next is just get comfortable with the management and ....
watering these snakes! All process is divided into three
stages, each of which has 10 levels. The logical conclusion of
the 30 levels is a shambles with itself Schroeder (the one from
cheburashek ninja).
The game has a built-in cheat - hold APX at boot (founded
by MMCM), which undoubtedly facilitates passage. However, even
without him I managed a couple of days to get to level 15. So
do not rush to include immortality!
Unfortunately, available in all versions of several beaten, and
hangs after GAME OVER'a. I hope the authors are not breaking
off and release Revised. Ah! Here is what came to mind: Was
there a KOL0BOK 1? I remember the demo, but have not seen the
full version ...
WHITE EAGLE: Comrade KNOWN
(C) FATALITY'98
SIZE: 249 sectors
Well, if KOL0BOK ZOOM II was steep, the front of the White
Eagle, I just get lost in definitions. FREEMAN outdid himself in
realtime action dendy game!
Although the program itself is not a complete game, and
more New Year's joke, it does not reduce its
values. Simply incomparable design, graphics and music are
exactly the theme! Describe the feeling of playing the
impossible - it must be seen himself.
TWILIGHT: The Land Of Shadows
(C) UltraSoft'95
DISK VERSION: FATALITY'98
SIZE: 987 sectors
KOL0BOK and White Eagle delivered to the ears of all lovers
ponazhimat buttons, but the thinking part of TWILIGHT forced
users strain gyrus. A detailed account of one of our readers
passage of this game, you can read below. From himself
add that unique Shadowland on Spektume was not. This
a hybrid of Star Heritage and THUNDERBIRDS'ov with absolutely
unprecedented concept of an interface. Special rulez shines
holders KEMPSTON MOUSE.
By the way, TWILIGHT is made in Slovakia and is probably
the largest of bourgeois toy since the collapse of companies
and publishers manufacturers of software which has happened in
92-93 years. But not frightened, FATALITY good job - the game
completely russified!
One scary - a wild indifference to the problem KEMPSTON
JOYSTICK'a! On machines with incorrectly implemented in
KEMPSTON'om MARGO (toy written FATALITY) was unable to read the
text HELP'a. This obviously learned nothing from the authors
and they inserted TWILIGHT help with the same buggy survey. As
a result, after choosing paragraph about, on my machine the
text to scroll automatically at Recent pages and hard standing
there. Must somehow more serious with survey of the most
KEMPSTON'ov; that joysticks, mice that!
QUADRAX
(C) UltraSoft'95
DISK VERSION: FLASH INC. '98 DISK VERSION: FATALITY'98
SIZE: 178 sectors SIZE: 194 sectors
QUADRAX, again, from Slovakia, will appeal to all those who are
in the mold will strongly think that the pass TWILIGHT, but
also to the level of "Koloboks" do not want to fall. This is
such a wonderful puzzle toy, where two wild explorer hang out
on the pyramid in search nekiih treasures. And you can play
both together and one, in turn driving the characters. A total
of 50 levels of play.
Although QUADRAX was first unreleased in early summer, but in
the versions (FLASH INC.) game was practically unchanged - the
is in the Slovak language, which is somewhat spoiled by the
impression and strained. Version of FATALITY translated into a
readable English, AY-equipped music and cool intro with cog
a la intro to DOOM by Flying / DR. And everything is good, but
after a few days, many games have reached an absolutely
impassable Level VYTAH. The logic of a man simply lost before
this level. Version of the FLASH while in Samara was not.
Sergius Puzzler / PXM, the last in its time the whole game
until the end and published codes of levels in the newspaper
PILOT29, writes on this about this:
"As it turned out, version of the FTL impassable. Lifts unable
lifting inanimate objects. In that version, which I
successfully, everything works fine. So FTL'y planted
real pig, or a bomb, if you want.
My advice - play in its original version, and FTL though not
climb without need to bend or distort them "
Here are these glitches! FATALITY version of uniquely better at
all parameters, but ... impassable. A FLASH INC. which
Recently voobshe lazy and sometimes even releases of software
Doing basic modifications, proved to be a winner. I hope
FATALITY pofixennuyu release version, but somewhere in the
loader write in large letters, that she was not buggy. Although
now predlagaetsya method of treatment: it is necessary before
the start of JP # 8C00 add entry in the # FB38 the following
bytes: # C2, # 8C, # ED, # 1E, # FF. However, I doubt that it
is easy to understand simple nick:)
DEJA VU # 7
BINARY DIMENSION ASSOCIATION'99
New number DEJA VU did not wait and came out with an enviable
speed straight shortly after the New Year. We can read,
material in bulk, and virtually any topic. APPENDIX
places in doubt, but the two bourgeois toys, not
form has BOOVIE 2, PIGGY, totally brightens
impression. Ah! More MARIO BROTHERS, though a demo version, but
wildly cool. God forbid, its authors, will bring the game to
the end, it's better MARIO from OHG, what is ...
Together with the new issue of the journal BD'shniki finally
decided to release the first version of its compact disc for
soft'om SPECCY. Drive I examined in detail, the thing dampness,
but it is very interesting. Moreover, this disc probably is not
my rival CD-collection, as an alternative. Only now is this
Alternatively, expensive ... CD has an excellent
printing design, and on the back side of the box label,
that it is your hard drive (unless you bought it officially).
So if you're not constrained in finance, I recommend to support
the BD'shnikov and buy their CD. Perhaps one of these days they
will release updated version, retouched and enlarged.
In addition to CD and DEJA VU # 7, from Kemerovo appeared:
THE GATE (video disk)
(C) PLAYGEAR / BDA '99
A new kind of software - video disk. Buy a disk is inserted
into the drive, and then a movie! True dumb and short enough ...
How short, you ask? So how perversely
stored footage of this video!
Features THE GATE: 474 personnel, 4-bit chunks, 7 fps
A little over a minute of real, sight! With 7 fps'ov
is not as slow as it might seem. Yes, and the
the fact that a minute on the screen all the flies, changes
explodes, etc. just fascinating! True, the impression
slightly spoils the conversion of poor quality, but justifies
DANIEL is the fact that everything was done in a few hours to a
proliferation never intended.
In general, the idea of video disk'a very interested. By this
we ALK'om decided to strike back (sm.NOVOSTI). It seems to me
that will soon be a sufficiently large number of similar works
as long as this trend is new and unstudied. By the way, THE
GATE - this is the beginning (as many as fit on a disk) from a
large film entirely sostoyashego of computer animation. Full
the name of THE GATE TO THE MIND'S EYE, if I am not
memory.
CSC-2: DEJA VU (commercial)
(C) 1998 RUSH 'BIS
Also, one might say, VIDEO DISK:), in the sense opredennom
Of course! ETC GROUP make another attempt to advertise their
offspring (the game is the continuation CRIME SANTA) is created
now the first year (probably the most long awaited project in
general, well Of course, after SCENERGY:). Once launched, you
can in five minutes to enjoy a view of how the protagonist goes
on locations and do different neosmyslennye action. And as I
understand the drive is not very "engine" of the game (or else
someone will steal) and is ready to animation, to throw off HR.
In the process demonstration is Podgruzka the music - if you
have 128k, and in machines where the brain more, all or nearly
all loads at one time! Just do not forget to do before
downloading USR 0; is not it podvisnet: (
TWIN WORLD
(C) CLAW + ILLUSION + NOP'98
DISK VERSION: UnBEL! EVER'99
Here, diskofitsiroval here the other day one of the latest
gourmet demos. Just do not confuse it with the TWIN WORLD'om,
who was of EXODUS, is quite another. All three parts are
written under 48K, and the 128K loaded with RAM-DISK'a. Demo,
in principle, done by for classical bourgeois pattern: two or
three simple effect beautiful picture and digital Mouzon. But
the most interesting located in the bowels of the code of this
program! When you create a disk version, I tried to unzip one
of the blocks and found the following piece of code:
....
LD A, I
JP PE, # C4B3

O What does this mean? Yes, that became a sensation "bug
Z-80 ', found and documented by Ivan Roschin giving
an invaluable opportunity to trace the program execution under
emulator, has been known for several years now those suckers! A
pity that Laura explorer and discoverer of this most enigmatic
and probably the last secrets of the Z-80 does not fully belong
to Mr. Roshchin ... By the way, Ivan has released a fresh
version of the utility BEST VIEW, already 2.6! Additions and
improvements made to the program may only please ... BEST VIEW

ZX-Spectrum 128k emulator + TR-DOS file system
Copyright (C) 1997-99 Code Busters
Written by Rst7 'Max Iwamoto
CodeBuster'y do not get tired to please amizhnikov new versions
of its emulator. Since the time of v0.13b that we considered in
the fifth BORN DEAD, a lot has changed for the better! Most
importantly, is the appearance of support for all existing
types of joysticks and KEMPSTON mouse! Now under the emulator
you can play the demo WALKER'a just like on this AMIGA - one
hand controls sight with the aid of a mouse, joystick and the
other goes walker'om! It seems like there was emulation
border'a, although he still did not see and tell how it really
can not.
Finally and irrevocably, along with images of the TR-DOS disks
format *. TRD, supported and popular "bourgeois" formats
*. TAP, *. SNA, *. Z80 (version 1.54, 2.01 '3.00), *. TZX (Not
full, wait next version), as well as Hobeta (napryamuyu!) and
*. SCL (new more advanced than Hobeta, format). As in most
emulators on the PC, now you can "glue" to their CBSpeccy
Images PZU'shek as BASIC48/128 and TR-DOS. Improved emulation
VG93 allows you to run ZX-FORMAT and REFRESH! Special
utility that comes with the emulator now allows you to take your
*. Trd files with regular tr-DOS floppies.
However, the emulator is still far from soveshenstva. More
, it turned out that the current version is efficient only on
the CPU 68030, and at a steep 68040/60 simply will not work
because differences in the architecture MMU. Obviously, this
misunderstanding soon will be overcome ... Also, while a
muffled quality emulation AY. It turns out that even if AY and
will be 100% emulate that, then only in versions for MC68060.
And here's another glitch leads to sad thoughts about the
quality of emulation Z80: none newspaper BUZZ, starting with 13
and did not want to run! PARACELS / EI freaks out there kind of
protection that "Flunked" an emulator of the RST # 7 ... At
least hung Version 0.18b! Describes the version I have not had
time to test but as it is written in help'e: Add all DDCB z80
instructions emulation for more compatibility. So maybe now all
DC
More complete information and the latest version of the
emulator CBSpeccy for AMIGA 1200, you can find on the net
