Letters ...
Until recently, think about the reader feedback we did not
have. Most more on what we might expect -
only mention in the ZX-waggons "OPTRON" or
caustic criticism of the "Born Dead". But now, finally, we got
the first letter, and nowhere else but in St. Petersburg ...
Let me give a few excerpts from him.
(C) Arthur Podtyolkov
Firstly, Happy New Year, and secondly,
long wanted to congratulate you on the issue of good
newspapers, "Polesie" in Peter read willingly.
Particularly interested in your Solutions to
games and publications on the platform.
So get down to business. In the ZX-News # 50
will be launched the campaign in favor of CC'000 and
animation demo, more precisely, the introduction
vote in two categories - best
code and the best story.
Also declared a position in relation to
games and systems, their role on the Spectrum.
The following information will be sent
almost all the leading publications Spectrum, with a view to
promoting a wide circles. Read pls, with that information, and
if you stand with her, tell about this in Polesie. In any case,
waiting reviews: whether to do a ZX-News, which will
published statements on this topic
many spektrumistov, the reference to "Polesie"
as one of the publications that support the new
movement?
...
We begin with an assessment of events held this year. And
they, it should be noted, was already five or six pieces.
Enumerate them, we will not, since it does not concern the
essence of our conversation. Thus, each party in his plan
succeeded. Everyone has some shortcomings and dignity, but the
question "was whether or not you can answer positive, ie all
applications for upcoming meetings were embodied. Therefore we
can discard all doubts about the reality of one or another
party. Now we come to that, because of which was founded a new
topic. This is the main problem of all past events - the
visitors and the level of work.
Precisely because of this unusually large amount of any
demoparti spektrumisty were scattered in various cities and
This year did not have those interesting meetings that took
place FunTop'98 or Enlight'ah. But the phenomenon of party most
importantly - the possibility of communication between
edinomyshlenikami by At least, ZX-News provides information
support to festivals just for this reason. But that such
meetings have taken place, it is necessary to define a party,
where everyone will gather to talk with like-minded people.
This - Chaos Construction'000.
We think that the reason for which revised ZX-News supports
CC'000, is clear - it is his conduct in St. Petersburg, a city
non-traditional center of such festivals, which until now
been preserved manufacturers supporting the Spectrum. Not
I must admit, that if in the next year in Moscow was held
FunTop'2000, we would encourage all to visit it is this party,
because it has a convenient geographical location for the
majority of Spectrum groups (more so that the festival is
completely Spectrum is dedicated). However, by its own
organizer - Wlodek Black, officially declared its support for
CC'000. So, in truth, at St.Pete party light converged wedge. :)
So the best venue for the Festival communication
spektrumistov found. We turn to the position of those who
believe that the main party - demos. It should be noted that
such people less, but their point of view deserves attention,
since without dem party has considerable chances to turn into
booze. ;-) Well, in This year, for the first few years was not
spektrumistov opportunity to observe a most interesting "battle
of the titans" ie competition for the strongest demomeykerov.
All this is thanks so copious amounts of all festivals and
events, to which were brought demos. Imagine a brilliant
collection FunTop'98 (or Enlight'ov) spread over five
Festival - an awful picture? That is what happened to the
creative works in nynyshnem year. Therefore, it would not
happen again next year, we decided to shed some light on the
current situation. We hope that we made it - then you decide,
dear readers.
If you want to comment on the affected subject, for example,
support us, giving their evidence in favor of a single
party (we know that some well-known arts groups
very much regret that exhibit their work not on
St.Pete party, but somewhere in Uryupinsk) - send your letters
the address of the newspaper ZX-News, we are happy to publish
them ...
Sincerely, JEDI / DISCOVERY. 2:5030 / 827.50
Thank you Arthur for your letter and useful information. Of
course we fully share your point of view and we are going to
