After a bit of a Christmas truce scene came alive and began
Heavy party'ynye weekdays! Receiving votes in CC.999.999 was
extended exactly one month before the first of February. Doubt
that Such an action is a great influence on the activity of the
masses, but no matter what results are summed up and you'll be
with them oznakomitsya just a few kilobytes below.
January 21 is now available archive of works from MILLENIUM'a -
of which is virtual. The second time the work has already
handed out the third February, though, complete with a simple
player / viewver, and Moreover, in two formats -. tap '. trd!
Enthusiastic entries do not cause, but certainly there are a
number of professional works in of all 4 compo. Voice-over work
will be accepted until 26 February, so I advise to hurry. Yet
in spite of that, compo is going to be intesnym, especially if
the organizers be able to collect a large number of real-filled
vote-sheets.
21st January, many friends also received via e-mail'a
Results PHAT9, which, as stated earlier, no
fall into the hands of the masses until the release SCENERGY #
2. Results extend many known Yerzmerey / HPG / RA, which
Naturally, doing this was absolutely no authority. Himself
RAVER ^ PHT did not deny the veracity of these results (after
BOOKOVSKIJ and could easily falsify rez'y), but again
stressed that all the ultimate truth is only
SCENERGY # 2.
The very same SCENERGY. about which I will narrate in the news,
not The first issue, and not released. No dates no longer
appointed, but nooonZen says SNG # 2 exclusively
past tense, already actively touting the future - the third
Issue! It is not excluded that the amount of SNG # 2 will rise
to 3 discs, as only the texts of articles in a single archive
on the PC occupy approximately 1MB ... Well, let's wait!
By the way, the output of the third issue SCENERGY promise to
coincide with the end CC'000 invitation compo, which actually
goes now in full swing. More information about the compo, we'll
talk, but yet I will describe to you one of the contest works -
ARTe by SCENE, pre-release which I've seen. Well, this is not
fountain! First, ARTe - this is more a demo, and CC'999 as
party is mentioned only thrice. Secondly, even as a demo, ARTe
very weak. Chunks finally swallowed the brain of many coders
and they realizutsya even those effects are actually not
require such an approach. The result is a dirty-gray
mush on the screen.
In addition to the SCENE invitation compo involved Eternity
Industry, Brainwave, Serzh Soft, Razzlers and alliance 4D + LFG
from Perm. As you can see, the names and groups are known -
expect something Scale!
Meanwhile, the already mentioned above, the group prepares to
release SCENE third issue-oriented progressive coders
- Demo Or Die # 3. One need only mention that according to
rumors to the main DoD'ovtsev team joined the comrades of the
X-TRADE (known prior to publication SPECTRUM EXPERT). And the
old man, LD, and "Uncle" DARK will be solely in charge of
issues papers on programming on Z80 asm'e.
Burzhuiny actively preparing to shake the world by a series of
various party. We do not bezyntereno will primarily Forever 2e3,
is planned in Slovakia. Molo that the party only
8 bit'noe, so even in addition to this in Spektumovskom
democompo promise to join the elite European teams 3SC and K3L.
Even the organizers (ZeroTeam), obviously not in the side
remain. Like last time, to give the floor to one of
organizers of the party:
-------------------------------------------------- -------------
Tekuschee status with 8-bit party FOREVER 2E3
Number of organizational issues finally resolved, and now it's
time write some prodrobnosti about the party.
Obvious the most important news - moving the date of party.
FOREVER 2E3 will take place from 17 th to 19th March 2000 the
first year - the third weekend of the month. Date had to change
after we come to grips with elaborating the venue party.
However, Now you can all be 100% sure that none of the date or
place of the party will not change.
The second important thing - the program of events. We're
working on it and now there is something like pre-release'a.
The good news is that many people working with us so that we
can expect a lot of work on each platform, SID / POKEY / AY
music, great demo show comparison of game scenes and much more!
You probably ask: "What could I win??" Over
the issue of prizes, we are working. Unequivocally, the winners
will receive branded T-shirts with the logo FOREVER. However,
since we holding party without sponsors, nothing special should
be expected, While we continue to look in that direction.
Now enough people organize each
of sections FOREVER. We started with 4-organizers, but now with
we are working at least 10 people. At the party are expected to
Visitors from different countries (Germany, Poland, Bulgaria,
Italy, Czech Republic, Moldova, Russia, and many, many others).
As you can see, we make the party "in style"!
Much has been done, now we are waiting party is just as
spectators (We have a free entry ... hehe;). We hope to see at
party and you!
-----------[ Especialy for BornDead by ellvis / ZeroTeam
]--------- I'd add that in agreement with Ellvis'om I get
coordinator of the reception of works for the party by
snail-mail at the entire ex-USSR. So if you have the desire
put on the party music, graphics, or the whole demo - easily
send work to my email address (listed at the end
newspapers). Do not worry, your work and get on Forever
participate in compos. By the way, the graphics may be not only
standard, but 2bitplane and even multicolor ... True to you
have to take care of the configuration options under timing'a
different machines.
In the meantime, while preparing to FOREVER rest of Eastern
Europe, leader 3SC - BAZE - told me some details
relatively near future the team. A new demo by
name tRIP almost completed, it remains only to collect all
together. However, nobody is going to rush and before the
summer tRIP assembled probably will not. Accordingly, the
release of this work will be timed to either DOXYCON'00, or to
CC'000.
And at the near demo party - FOREVER 2E3 - 3SC plan
to provide something unique in its way. This will be
cross-platform demo for Speccy + Atari! These two completely
different possibilities for the computer will be connected
through Parallel Interface, Spectrum will calculations, and
ATARI will display the results. There are many ways to call
like this: Speccy with a graphics accelerator or ATARI with
FPU, but revolutionary ideas there! 3D engine, which is now
for this demo, later to be used for tRIP.
Not so long ago, I was surprised to learn that the good old
DEMOBIT - party, after which many have learned that such party -
not dead, but there has been and will be there. DEMOBIT'00 will
take no further as February 26-27, but unfortunately, all compo
- only for PC.

Phantom Lord / Accept a recent conversation confirmed to me that
team in between binge and music-making creates a new
demo. Most likely, this work will be released only on CC'000, so
it would be quite foolish and imprudent to carry on the demo
PARADOX'00 which obviously would not be worthy of (generally no)
competitors.
Sector of the CTL, but rather have ex-Sector (his new nick I
have to Unfortunately, I could not remember:), reports that in
the very near buduyuschem we expect a large number of new
releases of Kaliningrad in particular, and from all other
members of the CTL at all. The most interesting has to be a new
edition of the newspaper ZX-PILOT, where will report on CC'999
Kaliningradians and a trip into the carpet (in truth, the place
of winter local party:). In addition, the team actively
preparing for the upcoming party and above all to CC'000.
FATALITY not stop violent activities GAME BOY'e. Their
The latest release - MIG-21 - designed to have the third
account BUNG GAMES COMPO, produces a positive experience.
Success in this compo weighed 500 $ - that is the equivalent of
first place! However, competition for Belarusian guys are very
strong - just exhibited about 30 works. Unfortunately, or
fortunately, FATALITY once again departed, finishing in third
place (More precisely, by dividing it with other work).
The situation with the release of Spectrum FTL'ov did not clear.
It seems to me, then FREEMAN soon forget how kodit on SPECCY ...
And even then we will not see nearly finished PUSSY, as their
own ears. And much of the bazaar FANTASTIC DIZZY generally not!
The most important thing - even if there is an artist for the
same DIZZY or other new works on FATALITY SPECCY, they in fact
it still on the GBC Sman "long dollars."
It's hard to believe, but it seems it happened! The
long-awaited Crime Santa Clause-II was released, as evidenced
placed below advertising press release the authors. Hopefully,
in the vast Russia there is at least one major trader, able to
buy a large number of copies of the game for later
distribution - all the same postal and shipping CDs
Ukraine is still the crap ...

On the background of a general lull even before the New Year
occurred big sensation in the emulator scene. After a strong
advertising company (at least info, which was on the site, a
modest call could not be) the Spanish team Ramsoft released a
a revolutionary new emulator - RealSpectrum. Today
available the third beta version, but before the final release
still far away.
Sensationalism emulator was the fact that its authors promised
hitherto unprecedented sound quality and multicolor'a
border'nyh effects. And, as if emulating proprietary models
and in the case of regimes Pentagon / Scorpion. However, most
aroused interest in the author's claim that the multicolor - is
childhood, they may even "snow" on the screen to emulate!
However, even if much of the promise is true, you do not
be able to watch this without RivaTNT. It is this video
Card is from the authors, and only her real RealSpectrum
work. At rest, of course the emulator is also going, but
about any harsh super-precision mapping multicolor'a
do not have to say: (
