(C) Fedorov, "Chasm" Vladimir
Well, it's time to a new survey. Today I want to introduce
you These are some new toys that
appeared in our city. Recently
Time magazine you are reading outside of the Yaroslavl region
(judging by readers' letters), and so some programs that I will
represent as new, you might well have been not only see but
also all their pass. Also, I I will try to objectively assess
the quality of performance and interesting programs. And if the
game is not interesting, then I do not truthfully, and write -
the game is stuffy.
Of course, this is my subjective opinion, but I think that
after eight years of dealing with the Speccy, I saw more than
one thousand games and I have something to compare.
NARC
OCEAN, SALES CURVE 1990
Rear shot rang out. I quickly
turned around and sat down. I ran to the man
in the cloak in his hands he had a shotgun. Far he could not
run - it has fallen forward, cut the queue of the faithful M16.
But it was too early to settle down - out the door
nearest building dumped a whole shobla
his cronies. Would be queue at all and I did not have fired the
grenade. There was a massive explosion, and at different hand
flew arms, legs and head - all that remains of my opponents ...
These are the scenes you can see
Download this biting the toy. I have long since
do not put off by playing shooter. Demon
controversial, it is one of the coolest games
Style Action, ever issued for the
Speccy.
You (alone or with a friend, because
game has a game mode alone) acts as a Special Forces soldier on
combating drug trafficking. You have been assigned to defeat a
network of distributors gandubasa, kreksa and other drugs, to
crush the underground factory producing powder uproot grass
plantations (in passing firing security guards) and, finally,
deal with the boss of this business.
There are no limitations, so the blood flows like water,
exploding cars, standing on roadsides, from shots of your rifle
dies all living things (including get underfoot
dogs).
The game is to be commended and
recommended for all. Mars the impression of
only monochrome graphics (though it
maybe for the better - think Shadow Warriors) and a Ping moving
objects, the truth is more than com compensated for by the
ability to manipulate with all things gaming space (garbage
bins flying and exploding cars).

From redaktora: I would not recommend this
game for young children ...
SWORDS OF BANE
CCS, ASTROS PRODUCTIONS
Strategy. The game is made in the spirit
firm CCS. If you have played SAMURAI, then
will have a complete picture of this
game, as it was designed by the same firm - ASTROS. Downloading
a game, you can choose one of three scenarios.
Next, you will be prompted to define your
skill levels and choose his troops.
Compared with SAMURAI, several players
was added - if you have previously ruled
an army of medieval
Japanese warriors, now at your disposal magicians, giants,
knights, dragons and other vermin.

TURBO SKATE FIGHTER
ZEPPELIN GAMES 1989
By downloading this game, you will have the
chance to participate in races, but not on
cars, and roller skating.
If you honestly say - this is not the
best program of this genre, which
I've seen. As far as I can judge, the release of this game,
based on its next 1990 release ZEPPELIN GAMES GO-KART
SIMULATOR, which is quite a long time came to our country. If
you ever drive cards in this game, then
you probably quickly learn and rollers. By the way, in these
races is absolutely no rules and you away with even pushes

GREMLINS 2
TOPO SOFT 1990
The game is made based on the same
film. In principle, an ordinary shooter, whose purpose is to
destroy brood bad gremlins. The game contains 6
levels that you have to go,
applying the wonders of Agility (even CHEAT
MODE finish the game quite difficult). At the end of
each level you will find a thing
you need to take and, going into the elevator, move to the next
level. Graphics in play at the level (as in all Spanish
games), and the rest - with a beer (3.2 liters
necessary) to cope.
Also, it should be noted that the game
principle, is not so new and has long been imported into the
CIS. But in the version of hacked Polish hackers, there was no
menu, select Control, and the game has already been selected
cursor joystick, that personally in my opinion quite
uncomfortable.

MERCS
US GOLD, CAPCOM USA 1991
Another shooter, pretty solidly made. You will have hot
massacre a life and death. Set of enemy soldiers, armored
vehicles, tanks and helicopters - and you are one (or maybe a
friend) shoot in different hand, smashing the enemy and
destroying all around. You are in the shoes of a soldier from
Special Forces and you have to carry out various missions, in
which conventional military units can not accept participation.
In the end you have to release the presidential plane, which
captured terrorists. So do not miss necessary.
But with all of these spoil the overall impression of the
pros small details: the levels too short, although the graphics
and color; but sometimes because of this parishsya looking for
a place to go.

THE HUNDRED
X-MASTERS 1996
It seems that domestic programmers
haunt nude female Teles.
The first bird was tag, but HUNDRED
continues this tradition and, moreover, is not the best way. I
do not know, maybe at view the domestic game-makers, the type of
naked women stimulates brain activity, but personally I
pornographic pictures disgusting quality of a nuisance. In my
opinion, if it really itch, it is better to insert cassette
with porn in the VCR, and not to make serious games in the
manual novice masturbator.
Well, something I digress. The game is a remake of a
fairly common game, "Weaving," for which I spent not a stuffy
lecture at the institute. You to go through thirty levels, which
rye alternate converted to the PC
pictures depicting a rather nice
women. With the deepening of the game, nude models in the
pictures more and more until it rolls to a trivial pornography.
Music in the game, it does not Regrettably, tear out "ECHOLOGY

done fairly well and can be recommended for fans of puzzle
games.

HEAVY METAL MOVER
UCM GROUP 1996
Another product of domestic programmers, and again the
logic. The principle of the game is not new - you need to move
part of the picture, broken into nine parts. Moving is both
horizontally and vertically in blocks of three parts of the
picture until the picture is not yet take an initial look. In
principle, nothing original (as far as I remember the first
time this idea was implemented on the Speccy in a Polish demo -
there had to move part of narisovanogo drive), but Still nice
to look again at
cute heart pictures of your favorite albums
groups. The game is quite complicated for an honest
passage, and the authors even in the loader
(By pressing the appropriate keys) give
recommendations for the passing game.

QUICK DRAW McGRAW
HiTEC SOFTWARE, TWILIGHT 1990
Beautiful and outrageously stupid game
in the genre of Action. The plot is about the pursuit of the
roof the train does not leave alone creators
games for the Speccy. Once again, someone
escapes, and various bad guy diligently prevented it from doing
so. So in this game, someone McGRAW runs on cars, trying to get
to the engine. Arriving at last to cherished goal, he finds
himself the main bad guy, who was safely
Go Large. After that, all with minor variations, is repeated.
Because of the stupidity of the story and beautiful graphics
the game is recommended for children under 10 years of age.

ICE CLIMBER (MOUNTAINEER)
VDV SOFT 1996
After playing enough in DENDY, Russian coders seem to have
decided to do the conversion from this platform (remember the
numerous BATTLE CITY). ICE CLIMBER also comes with a "beloved
and play" consoles. The game moved almost
unchanged, suffered only graphics - it was black and white.
What can I say about this game? For
those who have not seen it on DENDY, explained:
Common arcade goal to idiocy

DARKMAN
OCEAN, TWILIGHT 1991
Often, during his stay, the firm engaged in the production
OCEAN games, made of On a plot of famous films. This is a game
of the same series - it was done based on
Movie DARKMAN (MAN OF DARKNESS). At the end of
eightieth OCEAN made a name for itself
similar games (ROBOCOP, BATMAN, etc.)
but by the early nineties, the genre has produced many mediocre
craft, it is not appropriate plot Movies - DARKMAN from this
sorry list. After watching this movie the other day and
then download the game, I absolutely could not
remember where in the course of the story (and, moreover, in
beginning of the tape - as the first level
game), the protagonist had to fend off crowds of thugs and,
moreover, still to get underfoot of dogs. I understand
ROBOCOP 3 - it was released simultaneously with
film, but the same game was released Th
A year after the release of same title picture?
But not all that bad. If you close
eye on the lack of plot, the toy can be quite nice to play. Of
course, this does not TARGET RENEGADE, but I'm happy faces
filled a few Gopnik, which prevented my further advancement.
Since the game is not CHEAT'a, then on the first level I was
held in scrap. So, what's next - to learn
have you yourself (of course, provided
that you'll play in this toy).

SUPER CARS
GREMLIN 1990
At first glance, igra is not of itself is nothing
remarkable - ordinary race, a top view. Similar games quite a
lot. But priigravshis, you begin to notice small differences
from the other games. After each race you will be charged
a certain number of prize money (depending on what position you
have come to the finish) and you visit the store, you can buy
for your car different pribabah, including even a missile to
destroy unwanted competitors. If denezhek accumulated a little
more, then you are quite can change his wheelbarrow on the more
powerful.
First tracks you may seem
very light, but during the game, when you
climb higher and higher, and opponents
also do not stand still and equip their
cars with the latest technology,
come to the finish line first becomes
complicated. In short, for all its
the outward simplicity of the game captures and commendable.

LODE RUNNER 3
BIOTECH SOFTWARE 1995
Good old RUNNER, this time went into space. Here, of
course, not without our boys. Using built-in level editor and
some redrawn graphics, the guys from BIOTECH SOFTWARE sent the
poor to the middle of nowhere, namely in space. Now RUNNER'u
not to gold - he fights for his life, collecting air bubbles.
Drastic changes in the game did not change - the same 75
levels, however, After each sixth level you will have the
opportunity to collect all the air safely be poymanym. As
already mentioned, the game changed some elements

In my opinion, the benefit is not a matter -
