    ========================



   Hello, dear readers Deja Vu! Here
and the seventh issue was published. Just want to congratulate 
all happy New Year and wish you happiness and good luck in the 
New Year, do not throw the Spectrum read and Deja Vu, but we 
really try to justify your hopes and go regularly every three 
months. 

   I am here not so long ago, thought it not
is to feed people some journals have
would have something else to do the game, for example. It is 
easy to say make the game. But in the mind Nothing comes. Like 
all genres already made long ago. Of course, I do not want to do

global toy, such as the Black Crow. Because I know exactly what 
I get for it a damn in the truest sense of the word. Our 
country, however, freeloaders and nihilists. Nooo, if they make 
a game, it should not be very big and not very complicated,

as still almost free of charge will be made. And then I came 
across all familiar to an old ELITE. Then I

thought, why not. What is missing
in ELITE? Of course, drenched graphics, and other
details about which much has been written on the pages 
ZX-Revue. So, I am pleased to inform all that, perhaps in the 
near future will be a new ELITE flooded with graphics.

The truth is the code name, in fact, the name she will have 
another, and the toy itself will be slightly different. That 
is, I want to to say that I'm not going to redo the old

ELITE 3, but just write it from scratch. I
truth has not yet decided what kind of will
schedule. Continuous casting (ie teksturki faces ships will not 
be changed) or light and shadow (ie the texture of faces are

vary depending on the location of the light source, the stars, 
for example). Of course, This is defined in the future rate 
calculations. Be there and three-dimensional galactic map 
(almost like in Amiga FRONTIER), and galaxies will not 8 but, 
say, a few thousands (hundreds of thousands?), you can fly to 
any galaxy in its number entered with the clave. List of goods, 
of course, be extended. Can not buy just trinkets, but also 
ships. Will many missions (if you have enough imagination). Of 
course the base Kiriolis not be the only shape of the orbital 
base will be different. More would be nice to change a little 
work connection on your computer. Make it so: when you press 
the right button is not immediately provided at the station and 
make an automatic docking of the visual, ie, ship takes control 
and he stykovyvaetsya with the base in front of the player. 
True, it is somewhat slow pace of the game. Perhaps the 
principle of the connection machine will not change. It will 
also put a timer which will show how much real

minutes (hours, days, months), played by the player.
Because sometimes interesting to know, and how much
time I have flown? Also there is a question of
implementation of the landing on the planet, if so,
how it will look visually? RAXXLA
- A sore point. To Be or Not To Be? Probably be, maybe it will 
be the main goal in the game, but getting there will obviously 
be difficult. Another important detail in which language, 
English or Russian, will be a toy. I believe that we need all 
the posts done in Russian, and the names of the planets do in 
English. Well, imagine Planet LAVE or RAXXLA in Russian Lave

or Raksksla - nonsense! Of course, the font in the game
will be 6x8 or 6x6, because Russian language is quite sweeping. 
At issue is as the organization of the interface at the station

done in ELITE or make accurate
menyushek system, which can be
comfortable with an arrow poking through the options and
make the sale of goods. Frontal
glass vessel will be increased to two familiarity in width and 
one height. In general, the game will be a lot ruleza. Ze Pagan 
promised to write a cool story, what I did just no doubt. Well, 
I want to ask you, dear readers, to respond to

the above, help the Board may have
anyone have any ideas on this
account. I remember, a group of GALAXY, once
also wanted to remake the ELITE, we are waiting for your
responses. Now the game only on paper, and
from all of you depends on its future. If not
response will be, then a new toy no one wants, and it is 
unlikely to happen. I personally sorry to be spent only for 
power to you it can successfully erase

drive after the first run ...
