Magic Soft Facts and figures
The True Story of MAGIC SOFT, told her in between times
leader Viktor Moskalev. Unfortunately, this short text is not
displays, perhaps, all those events that occurred in and
About MAGIC SOFT for the duration of their existence, but at
As a first-hand information. I would like to see the course
plenty of truthful and complete the autobiographical notes of
his past on the old ZX scenery of the early 90th
years. Something like the history about the Moscow group in the
period 93-95, narrated in one of NICRON'ov. So dear, sit down
for the "clave" their pC / Amiga and write a memoir - you can
already imagine is let. And we are happy to publish it all.

I started my work on computers with Agat'a if
Still remember any ... It was in the late 80's. Spectrum at the
the time had just begun, the details were expensive, and I
decided to collect his Radio RC-86. Gathered with their grief
in half:) I started learning it assembler, even wrote something
...
Later, he met with the Atari - I saw her at her new friends,
which subsequently organized Magic Soft. They were XPEh
and Vlad Komkov (now his nick - Juggler). Here on the Atari I
learned that a demo! Learned and understood at once - this is
my!
Then in the 92nd, I was thinking about the ZX, as Atari has
been not everyone can afford. I did at that time engaged in
assembling AON-in, so some money in his pocket were carried out
... In May dream came true - I had the Leningrad-48 (cassette).
After three or four months to become Pentagon-128 - just a fee
without the drive and AY. A month later bought AY - very much
to me liked the music on the Atari and I wanted to be on the
Spectrum too, something like that ... I remember from the tape
loaded the pseudo-demo antsy music from the game:)
Later Pentagon'y gathered himself and Vladik XPEh. At this
time I learned about another new computer for me - it's the
Commodore 64. After watching a videotape with the demos and
games on it - I was just flabbergasted! At that time it seemed
that he saw a graphic station! A After some time looking video
with a demo and games on the Amiga. Well, what can I say, if
the C64 appeared graphic station! It was just fantastic! In the
Amiga demo I just fell in love at first sight:) PC at the time
seemed (However, and now it seems:) such nonsense with a text
mode and the inability to sync even on shots, that about it
do almost no one remembered ...
Late spring 93rd ... Vladik already hard kodil on the
Spectrum, XPEh wrote the music for a ZX, then on Atari ... I,
too slowly kodit studied, mainly by Vlad. Ironically, but
in Russia on the Spectrum at the time no one was writing a demo
(torn running line and the music of the games do not count),
and because of border demo one did not deliver ... We decided
to fill this gap and why was organized by a group of Magic Soft
(incidentally, the name came up with my brother, Anton), which
includes Vlad, XPEh, Anton I. First and foremost, our job - it
Nonamed demo - edinstvnnaya at the moment (in my opinion)
Domestic this demo on the Spectrum, where there was nothing
strange: its code, its music, its graphics ... I remember that
demo made big splash on many hackers of those times!
Vladik and XPEh at that time were thinking about the Amiga
... By the end of 93rd they have bought on Amiga 600, and the
Spectrum, of course, abandoned ... In Magic Soft left only me
and Anton. Vladik and XPEh so still and sit on the Amiga,
though for a long time for 1200:) XPEh writes music, Vladik
occasionally kodit ...
I was engaged in commerce on the ZX. Kodit almost ceased,
except that only unpretentious intro to the game ... Met a very
many groups have started to appear and simply loners ... In
Magic Soft while two new Membury - Mac Buster
(Coder) and Visual (musician). But, nevertheless, no significant
products, we do not (except that releases games) ...
Several times was going to buy a more serious comp
than the ZX. I thought, what more I need to, PC or Amiga?
Demomeykerskoe feel like the Amiga, a business like PC. And I
did your choice. At the end of 96-year I bought the Amiga 1200
and realized that not mistaken. I'm very glad I did not chose
then PC!
By the mid 97-th year, I began to realize that the
magnificent Anton schedule (while he still was not nickname)
and a good music would fit perfectly Visual'a cool code:) I
started to look encoder. And he was very close - it is VAV,
whom I knew already about 3 years old ... It's that time
belonged to the group Megacode. We do not have enough coder, he
was - a musician and artist. Naturally, We came together very
quickly ...
While I am actively communicated with Beermans and Speed
Co. We Mac Buster'om started thinking about what it would be
necessary for us all together ... Megacode, Beermans and Speed
Co. took it the proposal with joy. And now, July 12,
1997-year, nearly all Membury these groups gathered in Moscow
and was created by the union Extreme (the name coined Mac
Buster).
Extreme became the backbone Exploder (ex-VAV), TeeRay
(ex-Tracer, Anton), Visual, Mac Buster and me. By that time, I
think, amigo have already been all but Exploder'a (or rather he
was Extended AmigaCD32, which he tried to sell more than a year
in order to buy the Amiga 1200).
The rest you have to know yourself:)
