The events of the past month has once again denied someone
a long talk about how that income is the new programs from
abroad have dried up. True, the last emerged with new toys can
be called a stretch, years of release 19911992, but still it's
better than nothing. Needless to say, most of the residents
FSU probably already accustomed to receiving foreign
developments for SPECCY with a delay of 3-4 years. A domestic
Programmers seem to relax, or
I just caught your eye almost nothing's new, except, of course,
"UFO 2. DEVIL OF THE ABYSS," "Solitaire," yes
a few DEMO-version. Well, and
it's not too bad. Better couple to really cool software than a
whole bunch of "Glitches". There is another interpretation
lull - the majority of creators SOFT'a
sat down to big projects, and rightly so, because come summer -
vacation time and holidays, and, hence, it is possible and work
hard
to create something cool.
RECKLESS RUFUS
ALTERNATIVE SOFTWARE 1992
Do not know who and what he RUFUS
needed somewhere to go, no move (walking is a movement called
difficult) to some strange place,
stuffed with scary creatures, but to help him in this difficult
matter will you. The hero himself - such a small, almost
a harmless creature who can not give
a fitting rebuff to the numerous enemies, yes
besides having a significant benefit
in the movement. The fact that he RUFUS
can only move the blocks, put someone's caring, but harmful
or unreasonable hand. Would be the hand
smarter, it would have provided more of the most
blocks, and then have to live with the deficit. Blocks are
scattered, not as horrible as
very tricky, and only a clever (and sometimes
not really) RUFUS can comprehend the mystery of movement on
them. I also had this come to grips with for the sake of
writing a normal review of this toy. Tepr closer to the case,
that is, the rules of the game. As already mentioned above,
moves RUFUS only on blocks. Very often, these blocks
occur in quantity greater than one, and
then you need to skillfully manage them, and
it, believe me, not very legko.Tak here,
RUFUS rolls from one unit to
another, at the same time, firing pesky enemies that, in
general, it is almost useless, since they are immediately
available again. Cartridges come to an end too quickly, in
general, as well as the time allotted for each level and the
energy that contributed doomed to death RUFUS'u. True, the
death of all these evils can be avoided by installing CHEAT
MODE, generously offered in the loader. So here, there are
still on the ground
good people to help the poor little
beings in their difficult lives. Yes, a little
forgot to mention: one of the main
hazards you will be
blocks, whose action on RUFUS'a can
only know personally set foot on them, and then realized that
doing this still did not cost. But the main task - to collect
all diamonds (or something like diamonds) on the
each level. RUFUS apparently decided to get rich, but nothing
comes easily, and each diamond has to extract intelligence and
cunning. So at the end of the game, most of these qualities you
probably do not remain. What can you do, that's life.

PEKING
DAVE SANDERS 1991
Well, you have the name of the creator of this
program did not cause any agreeable
memories? No? Well then let me remind -
it is the same man who made
very popular some time ago
toy "STACK UP". I think most
people with SPECTRUM, saw it and played day and night, trying
to break another record. Well, "PEKING" is a worthy successor
to the glory that got in his time "STACK UP". No
Do not think that this is another "tetrisoobraznaya" toy. Here
the idea is quite another, but without the clever logic
Here, too, can not do. For those who saw
on an IBM program "DRAGON EYE", does not take much to
understand the rules game as "PEKING" almost too
thing (or vice versa?). But for the rest
GOVERNMENTAL little talk about the game because
the first time to understand all quite difficult. After
selecting the control and you start to open rather unusual at
first glance, the picture is: a lot different blocks, the
decomposed layers, one another. Your goal is, indeed, almost
unattainable. Needs to be done so that the
screen, not a single unit. Themselves
They are, of course, will not disappear,
but they can be written off, having a very good
vision and a lot of crazy. As you can see on the screen, there
is also an arrow, and also a number of identical
blocks (each block has a pair). Here
this is what will help you cope with the problem, and may
finally lose vision. The fact that the same blocks are written
off, but only those that can be pulled to the right or left and
pick up up. That is, if you want it
do you have nothing prevented. On
first glance everything is very simple, but not here
it was. To play a bit you realize that
incorrect sequence of moves
lead to the fact that their (running) at all
no longer remain at the existing units.
There is also little nuances - you can write off the blocks
with different images, but are in one group, for example,
blocks depicting the various seasons. For the players, not too
bothered themselves invention there is a hint the next move in
the menu with the image scroll. Also in this menu, you can do
many more useful things, such as: go back a few moves backward
/ forward look at the lower layers of blocks, which usually
does not happen can be seen to change position from which you
look at a whole bunch of blocks, see all the groups of blocks,
pause and exit from the game. Here's a toy here. To be honest:
I've never cleaned all the blocks to the end. I hope that
readers kogonibud it still happens.

PANG
OCEAN 1991
Programs produced by OCEAN
seldom disappoint us. "PANG" not
is no exception. Although, of course,
which side to look. Fans of games,
which must sometimes think, can immediately
miss this program past its collection. But those who nravyatsya
toys with lots of prizes, primitivnenkoy logic and good
graphics will appreciate this game dignity. Of course, we all
love sometimes relieve stress after a hard day, and
"PANG" here will serve a good service.
Goal of the game is described by three or four
proposals at the beginning of the program, but
for those who are weak in English,
I will explain. You will travel through
seventeen countries to reach the point
destination. All travel is composed of
breaking countless balls
ditch, which seems to have a firm decision not to allow you to
reach your destination. The balls are destroyed in this way:
First you get out of his arms a large ball, it flies in the two
smaller ones, if it enters into any of these two, they also
split into two more small. But when the balls become very
small, one hit kills them.
It sometimes happens that hitting a ball is knocked out of him
some strange object. Its effect almost immediately becomes
clear after taking. Prizes such very much. Here are just a few
of them: freeze the balls in the air for some
time, you get a cool new weapon
invulnerability, and so much more. Action
game takes place against a background of fairly good
scanned images, which vary
during the transition to the next level. Must
noted that the route that you are moving from country to
country, made an extremely irrationally. In this case you will
be able to
sure, looking at the map. Is that
a guided tour, albeit without
special amenities. There is another nice feature - a game
together, that much more interesting to play as one
virtually impossible. When playing alone
There is one slight difference: the pleasant music that
accompanied your single fighting stops, as soon as the partner
enters the game. But do not worry, the effects of "PANG" too
bad.

ROY OF THE ROVERS
GREMLIN GRAPHICS 1992
It seems that the firm decided GREMLIN
to please the most, releasing this
program. The fact that, in essence,
acquiring "ROY OF THE ROVERS" we get the program of two genres:
hodilkuquest, as well as a football simulator. Both These
programs dovolono bad for execution, but both have a "small"
flaw - the images of characters. They are drawn (or rather
transferred from another computer with almost no processing) is
bad, although everything else looks pretty good. After reading
these words, many probably doubted: "Why, after all
"GREMLIN GRAPHICS" has long been famous for its awesome
graphics (remember the "HERO QUEST "," SHADOW OF THE BEAST ")"
What's You can say, apparently, the firm or haste in the
issuance programs plus or money
payment of the artists she did not have. This, of course,
spoils the gaming experience. It should be noted that the
animation looks good. True lovers
quest'ov, type "NIGHT RUN" and "CEASE FIRE",
I think, do not give a toy without a stale
movement for a long time.
So, what you need at this time
Investigate? Some strange circumstances led all players in the
football team "MELCHESTER ROVERS" disappear. You are either a
manager, then Does a player, or simply a detective and,
of course, have to figure out what happened to the team.
However, here there is a slight problem - the time before the
match there are not too many, and players who are ready to
enter the field, too. But this does not scare you, full power
and ideas. But if Still the idea of coming to an end, you can
see a clue that will cost you several points. Oh, and navigate
through various menu keys
"1" - "4". Residents of the town in which you
were not always friendly set, but if they smile, they can
provide something useful. Dirty teeth as you know, do not
contribute to good smile, so sometimes you have them
clean. The game has humor,
Specifically, in conversations with the townspeople. But not
panic, great knowledge of English
language you are not required. In general, the game
You can configure one of the proposed
early language, unfortunately, the Russian was not among them.
When you are able to find all players, you will be prompted to
play football, that is not very easy. One consolation in
football, you can practice by choosing
beginning of the game click "SOCCER".
