Interviews
with Nikolay Kozhevnikov (NickSoft)
(C) Stinger
S) - When you got your first
computer?
N) - ... Well, actually I'm not going to give
Interview (S: Nick is fidgeting with impatience to the couch
and tearfully asked for it speak), well, just everything I'm
asked - so so be it. My first computer I bought
brother in 1990. It was a VECTOR-06C.
Together with MastSoft'om we sat on the vector
about 2 years old. However, since the vector was
little software, we moved to the Spectrum.
Coding I never attracted (in
Unlike some). I'm more pinned to play with toys, what I have
achieved true heights. Maybe that's immodest (S:
may be), but it was me on the market people came and asked how
to go through the or any other game.
S) - What's the first game, which you
passed on Speccy?
N) - Just remember, I can not, but it seems
would it Silkworm or Exolon.
S) - For how long it took you?
N) - Action & Shooting I never do not stay long. Pass them was
not worth me big deal.
S) - When did you first entered the market as a seller of
software? N) - In 1993, I realized that it was for me. Together
with Mast'om we began to implement programs on the market,
where I actually speaking, and became acquainted with the
hackers and programmers, many of whom I helped to become known
(S: Yes, of humility you will not die). The truth can not hide!
For example: Ars, VG, Stinger, etc. Helped WE-Group
in the creation of King Valley.
S) - How do you feel about competition on the
market?
N) - I can not say anything good about my competitors, except
for Eva Studio, which is not stealing, as some (eg: MAP Studio,
Doc from PSG). S) - Where are you took out nove?
N) - Many programs have come to me from
Moscow, Kaliningrad, Grodno, Kharkov ...
And frankly, had a lot of
to work to pay back these programs,
before they steal from you. But, since
I am now temporarily tied to the market, can
say only one thing: if you really want to buy a new program,
goes to see MastSoft'u (S: And here advertisement managed to
pop in :-)). S) - How do you feel about that now
leaves a lot of demo versions of programs, but the full version
does not always appear? N) - This is a difficult question. If
we speak objectively, I think the demo
a program to produce,
when the program is ready, and not to promise
our customers what may or may not
be. I will take responsibility for themselves,
said that many people think so.
S) - and if not objectively?
N) - Well, you caught me by surprise ... C
On the other hand, these programs make
believe that the Spectrum is still alive (S:
... And these demo toys can also
sell ->).
S) - What kind of computer do you prefer (of course, but
Speccy)? N) - Frankly, I most
favorite color, and a calculator
ie IBM. Ha-ha-ha! Joke! Of course, I
I dream about Amig'e 1200.
S) - What do you say finally?
N) - All the hackers I wish to become programmers, and
programmers - to do more good programs. Well, all user'am - buy
Amig'u!
