Usually it happens that the continuation is always worse
than the original, but it denied the new development
Mednonogova, extending his series. Playing "UFO 2: Devils of
the Abyss" made after the famous game company
MICROPROSE "XCOM: TERROR FROM THE DEEP".
When I first sat down to read the instructions
to this game, I thought that I read
operating instructions for the bomber, so it was complicated
and confusing. However, then over time I figured out the
various buttons, indie Katori / By the way, it is best to play
color monitor or TV, because
Indicators are not the same color / and inscriptions. In
general, the whole game boils down to, so when she turns vooon
fintiflyushechka playing clicked on that bobyshechku, pulled
for the figovinki and bounced away so as not to shvarknulo,
although not all so simple. And now the main, that is
directly on the game itself. The game exceeds all possible
limits of quality, quickness and great professionalism, and
so much more that I forgot, but it
still superior.
Briefly about the purpose of:
So, all started a long time ago back in
game, "UFO: ENEMY UNKNOWN" / or in Russian
"UFO: ENEMY UNKNOWN", where you thought you killed all
inopriletyan and that you're a good guy. Although, as you
Remember, the computer inopriletyan something
bulknul, but do you not pay attention to the euphoria of
victory, but in vain. So, Che after a few years it became clear
that gurgled something he is doing and managed to activate last
reserve of the Empire, which is located under water on Earth.
They are something you have to deal.
Management:
All possible and impossible, except for the key user tasks
/ REDEFINE KEYS /.
Hardware requirements:
Requires a machine with less memory, no
128 KB with a TR-DOS version is not lower than 5.03,
5.4 *.
General impression:
Let's just say the program is much more complex, although
it is within human understanding. But at first very greatly
helped the well-written description of this game. Very
complicated strategic part of the game, there was an arcade Box
is also very decent quality in style, a la "ELITE", where you
still have to work hard, knocking the enemy vessel, which
By the way, is not so easy to do. Honestly
I confess that I knocked down only when cleaned
reduction self-energy vehicle.
But nothing of the strategic part of the game must be
to tell apart, as it deserves
this. Surely you have played or at least
would have seen "UFOs: ENEMY UNKNOWN", where you
after being shot down inopriletny ship, fell directly on the
battlefield, where he fought against the insidious
inopriletyanami. So, in "UFO 2: Devils abyss, "you've run a
whole group of fearless fighters, and sitting in silence and
tranquility of his home, watching
contractions at the bottom of the oceans. Changed and the
business concept in the game. Now You can sell anything, even
including native and painfully familiar surfboard, that is to
say fighter artful dishes. At the same time, humanity is freed
from the last vestiges of conscience and no longer
does not release you, even those crumbs, wherewith you eat. And
there shall come into force
the brutal laws of business. That is, if you
do not pay all the bills for the month, then you
it is not unfortunate, will be closed. Especially
affects much overgrown encyclopedia
ufologist. Study one topic leads
to disclose the other two studied
Themes opens the subject, seemingly unrelated. However, it is
not, and consistent investigation leads to a specific,
programmed creator outcome. Do not change a partition entries,
but changed topics in them. For example, the aliens are now
divided not only by species but also on the specialization (for
example, a study akvatoidamedika gave me the knowledge of new
species of aliens - biorobot - "daypon and helped I upgrade my
hardware, and continue to deal with them easily).
A number of different types akvaplanov aliens, different
weapons, sophisticated instruments and apparatus, the types of
insidious inopriletyan etc. That is, this
Encyclopedia characterized by huge
mass of socially useful information.
Also changed, as described above, the personnel of your
vehicle. Now he represents a team of 7 persons, each of which
is characterized by several factors, such as:
morale, energy, speed, number of injuries and much more. As
manifestations of a soldier in battle, he will be
assigned rank. First, it will
private, then corporal, then sergeant, lieutenant, captain,
etc. etc. In keeping with its title will also be
increase utility rates. He can
continue to walk, shoot more often, easier to endure forced
marches, the more wear items.
In the study, a new item "View Possible topics", then
is directly in the research process may overlook the themes
that might appeared during this time. In the menu "makes
proof "the opportunity to make a product with numerous parties,
by the way, manufactured products can also be sold. Pleasantly
surprised by the item "Configuration", where everyone can tune
game under their own individual taste. Moreover,
computer when unloading the disk will remember
initial configuration, and in the future will continue, after
reading the state with drive to save the regime that you
configured. In addition, when recording the state of the disk,
the game does not reset, as was done in the "UFO 1, and
continues continue their dirty work.
In general, the game makes a terrific
impression, and fans of the programs ponavorochenee it will
just taste. I do not know, but I have tried briefly to bring
you all the immensity of this game. AND even if you at least
can easily interested in this amazing program, I I will assume
that the pains are not in vain. K Tragically, at the moment (and
it is the end of June 1996) in our city do not have good,
high-quality version this game, but there are only un buggy
like this program, with lots of mistakes (such as: february
forever, a few screw up landscapes, spoiled half Encyclopedia
ufologist (everything below the item "Type UFO" including him,
can not be read). It would seem so little, but that was enough
to lubricate the distinct impression of a brilliant and
addictive game. But I hope that after all, someday, years,
commercials in 20-25, I still see the full working version of
this miracle, and even then I can die peacefully with a light
heart and soothing the soul.
P.S. For lovers of eternal life: a few cells, which help in
the process game. By the way, how to embed - it is
your problem; true for owners
SCORPION'ov is a piece of cake. Using
shadow monitor, you can easily change
contents of these cells. Only if true, do you have in the
presence of blocking Expansion Port Scorpion (see Journal

Well, there it is! What was I, yeah
all about the same, the DEMO version of Russia's new play "Time
Patrol", which is the sister of the famous game mladshey "Star

although this came much later, "Heritage." Rejoice, fans of
Russian adventyur and fans of "Star Legacy," for you to come to
a new star and this star - PATROL TIME (or, from England -
"TIME COP"). Completely similar interfaces for these two
Games make the transition from the "Heritage" to "MF"

Japanese state lived the emperor.
Here! But the power he had, as most
strongest in the country at the time, was a clan
Taira. Therefore, the emperor controlled the
the head of the clan - Kiyomori Taira (by the way
Emperor Takakura name). And cut
he had all of its competitors.
Meanwhile, in the future (is not it
Do sounds silly?), some bad
man - Michael Tornado decided to have fun,
siganul and he did not go somewhere, and in the past.
Namely, in 1169 (well, just to fix the financial affairs after
a binge in ancient Egypt). But the guys from the "Commission
