The joy (or maybe not) Tomich, finally
the first issue of ZX-PLATINUM. Apparently, the sensitivity of
pride in his native town, prompted the authors to create his
own magazine. Of course this is not SPECTROFON, or ZX-FORMAT,
and not even FAUNTLESS, but his own. And who knows? if it does
not stall, maybe we'll see something like by SINCLAIR TOWN or
Chelyabinsk SPECCY. So far things have authors are not as bad.
Output of the second room was scheduled for September 9, but
for now it's hard to say when we see it. Reviews and criticism
for its part will not speak, have a look and enjoy.
In the annex of the journal two games: SMAILY and
KLIMAX.
I would like to wish the company and BATTLETECH BLACK
EAGLE continue the begun work, and find their regular readers.

What, you do not have this wonderful toys? Really
not tennis - your favorite sport? If yes, then surely
Seek out this toy, and believe me, it will give you many
pleasant hours (unless of course familiar with management, it
is not hard to do and you do not scare nekotoroya Ping game).
I myself am not a fan of tennis, but a lot of time spent at the
computer (about four years ago, when there were very few drives
I struggled with cassettes), trying to win an opponent in some
PSION-ovsky tennis. There were several other simulators, but
when I first ran INTERNATIONAL 3D TENNIS, then almost fell
from his chair when he saw the triangular tennis players with
the same triangular bats, walking like robots to their game
positions. (I still fortunate that the balls were not the same
triangle). In short I was fascinated by a toy for its
originality and humor. But When I tried to play, I was not
laughing. Not so simple as it seems at first. You'll be a while
cover mate all the programmers who made this game. Then click on
red button. After some time again to return to this
game, and as a result, either you learn to win against an
opponent or break the keypad, as did the ZX-IGOR. Well, let's
play?

Fell in love with our people this game is sunk into
the soul. Can remember the exact versions of Number 'color
line' for Spectrum? I doubt it. The exact number nobody knows.
And now for SPECCY appears next 'remake' of this game, the
number of versions lagging except that of a popular Tetris.
The main advantages of this version are: monochrome
and color mode, unobtrusive music, management (all but Kempston
Joystick), account records, and game settings.
Disadvantages: a few slow-motion ball (so
was intended by the author). Even if the long look, then you do
not find messages about the author of the game (except in a
table of records) to select the control you need to guess to
press BREAK.
Given all the shortcomings, this is the best COLOR
LINES of all, I've seen on the Spectrum.
