From the world of bat
So, we paused to
one room and again today
return to the game "STARRY
LEGACY OF "STEP CREATIVE GROUP.
The growing flood of letters to the editor of the journal for
our game reached climax, and now, apparently, it's time
bring the first results. Thank you
to everyone who wrote. These
writing - not only a moral
support our endeavors. Your
suggestions and comments will form the basis of our further
work and we will not disappoint you. Actually, the demo version
- it is only trial balloon to realize our ambitions. If all
goes as We have decided, you will find many more
interesting.
Mit'kin IGOR: Hello, my favorite edition of "spectrophone! I
write to you, and not for the first times, the city Schekino. I
want to convey in your address kind words on the demo version
"Star Heritage", although why
demo? It's practically a full-fledged independent game
which was immediately and will not pass (I
had to start over 05.06
times).
"S": Why demo? This is due to
the fact that the demo is not clearly expressed its logical
conclusion, and not all of what was intended in the script,
included in that group of locations that are represented in the
demo version. Some passages deliberately covered up the "best"
times.
Mit'kin IGOR: ... but after passing
full demo version I still
passed her over and over again, experimenting is over, then over
this. In general, this game HIGHER
class (according to my notions). Keep up the good work.
"S": Thank you, Igor, for your support.
Krupchatnikov (Solnechnogorsk):
I write to you as soon as
left the island "O" on the boat.
A magnificent debut: graphics, music, convenience of the
program - are excellent. I look forward to the full game. In
English, I'm not strong, Therefore, it is only Russified
adventyury, and their long enough.
"S": We hope that in near future
, the situation will gradually
corrected.
GLUKHOV NICHOLAS (Tula): I am your
a regular reader and I am very
love your magazine. Although, I want to
say, was deeply disappointed that in the eleventh issue
There was nothing on the game "STARRY
Heritage. "This game just send me the soul, like many
my friends. Especially when we
learned that all events occur at Rakksle (my friends and I -
Fans of the program "ELITE").
But the game "Star Heritage" struck me not only to their
logical continuation of the "ELITE", and user-friendly
interface, good graphics and amazing flexibility of the program
(going to the one and also place a few times I've read all
fresh and new text).
By the time 1911 numbers
"Spectrophone" I'm already pretty far gone in this game. I
already had a whole bunch of useful
subjects. I also met with
old woman and Jameson. But here
After meeting with the last I
rose to a standstill. From this old
"Star Wolf" I got some things, as well as several
helpful hints. But what to do
Next?? Where to go?? With this I
could not understand. Maybe
I have missed something?, whether there is some kind of a
cunning combination that I could not guess. Go to dock I tried
several times, with different options and combinations. Artangi
but apparently there densely settled. A fall
to the mainland, as I understand it, not the other way. So I
have to still think of what to do with the omission on the
glider.
As for the monitor in a cave, here I am, too, folded. Enter
the necessary code at random, using 30
characters on three misleading, it is possible to "second
coming" ...
"S": Well, you need to stretch
a helping hand to our distinguished
reader. So for all those who
"Stuck" in the demo version.
Carefully inspect all
that can be in the shop Jameson.
Father of "Fearless" was a friend
This "Star Wolf", and hence often visited him in the shop. In
addition to those items that gave Jameson, the shop is
clue to the encrypted
message written on a piece of
on a piece of paper and plastic.
And remember: Jameson does not know
about it (otherwise I would say), and
means a place where there is the key to
unlocking a cipher, hidden from prying eyes. Of those subjects,
which can be seen in the shop
locate the well and LOOK it. And then -
act according to circumstances.
The main thing - to unravel the code ...
Morozov, Maxime (Moscow): The recently acquired Number Ten
"Spectrophone" and
"Supplement" saw
game "Star Heritage" which chtoto read in the "ZX-REVIEW."
By downloading the game, I thought it was "crap"
but my botininki flew away, when I became
play it.
Cool - this is not the word, this
game - just superb! I want to
give some advice to those who
just starting to play:
1.Do not sleep anywhere (who are looking for
- To find).
2.Prezhde than take a step somewhere or
be, consider and sign
(First seven
times measure, by
that seven
times measure and
only after
this once
Cut slightly
th).
3.Umeyte find
a common language with
all (The word
"Save" to
know at all
languages).
"S": Now we will try to answer most common questions about the
game:
QUESTION: When will the full version?
"S": If all goes according to plan, sometime in May this year.
In connection this will probably be some delay in entering the
regular Numbers spectrophone. But we
try not to torment you long
expectation.
QUESTION: If the demo version is more than six sectors
drive, then what is the approximate
size of the full version?
"S": According to our calculations - in
two to three times more.
Generally, a giant size, our goal - better to regularly
receive another "series" than a year to wait one very great
game.
QUESTION: How will distribute a complete version of STAR
HERITAGE?
"S": For channels, "INFORKOMA.
And now for the other problems.
Alexey Nikolaev (Moscow): On
game "SHADOWFIRE": in this game, I
came in a distant and more
room, which was, in my opinion, only one door. In this
room I found a thing
yellow. I tried it
take a few heroes - but
to no avail. This thing is vaguely reminiscent of the motor.
Where is this room I
do not remember exactly, but if I do not
memory is correct, then it somewhere
the south (down on the map) station.
"S": Judging by your description -
you found the remote control system of automatic destruction
station. In one of the issues of our magazine we wrote about it.
Alexey Nikolaev: On the game "THE
MUNSTERS "- from your explanation
I still do not understand ...
"S": In order to feel
themselves in relative safety in the cemetery, take a crystal
ball.
Alexey Nikolaev: Something about the game "WRESTLEMANIA". If
you see that you have the energy to an end, and the enemy is
full of strength, then press "EDIT". The game should stop and
when you hit "ENTER", go to the next
level.
"S": Well, helpful tips for those who are not able to
overpower the enemy in this game.
Alexey Nikolaev: Now I'm doing
adventyurnuyu game in Russian "Island Octopus". If
To be precise, it will not adventyurnaya game, and not even know
that ...
"S":???
Alexey Nikolaev: The fact is,
that teams will not have to enter from the keyboard to spell.
For example, if you want to go into the forest
- You need to press "x", if the well - the "k", etc.
"S": Clearly, it means to your
it turns out that all games are managed through user-friendly
interface - who knows what? No, you certainly
going the right way. This problem
We also decided when we wrote
"Star Heritage". A game genre
determined not only and not
less interface, and the principle of
of the entire program.
Alexey Nikolaev: With graphics I
undecided - would it
or not. I think if I
would be a partner ...
"S": Alex, can we can
do something to help you, if we give
your address for those who wish to
together with you to write a game? We think that these will be
found. So, write: 103009, ul. Stanislavsky, 11, kv.9. Alexey
Nikolaev.
To us the Editor continued
are letters of Novosibirsk version of "ELITE".
GLUKHOV NICHOLAS (Tula): Somehow
My ship, en route to the planet with 11 of those. level was
shot will appear directly on
course "Viper". Although my status was "OFENDER" (I was
carrying drugs). I tried not to pay attention to the police, but
to clean the third power unit
prompted me to get them to do.
I had to kill a police vehicle. My status immediately
deteriorated and I was horrified remembered that in galaxies 2.8
such an offender will meet with the police cordon. Nor
that she never dreamed I went to the planet. And indeed, after
a while straight ahead have five police vehicles. I immediately
slowed down to a minimum and put his finger on the button
bailout. But, oddly enough, "Vipers"
flew over me from all sides (their
clearly be seen on the side
screens) and went on. As
Once they disappeared behind the lower
edge of the radar ahead of a new five and six so-
again! In the end, I happily sat down on a station by
connection on your computer.
"S": Perhaps your status teetered on the border. Even a
careless act and the police probably would have demonstrated
their determination.
GLUKHOV NICHOLAS: I also want to write about one point struck
me. Do not wait for the mission of becoming the
living crystals, I started
massive drug trade. During the week I was 150
thousands of creed and traveled
fifth galaxy. But then I
waiting for a surprise. Taking another
helping drug users and approaching
planet, click the button connections. But ... instead of the
title page I see a red background and the message the seizure
of ships by pirates. I do not very disappointed, because before
made the shipment. Return to
starting position and start again to this planet.
The same result. At this point, I thought that's not all
lost. Back to the original
position. But now, riding on
another planet. I. .. pirates again! Try all the planets within
7 light-years. Pirates everywhere! Here I was worried. Include
galactic hyperdrive. Status mine is clean, but ...
After landing, I again caught in the
captured by pirates. And yet - a dead end. I
hesitate to experiment: clear
their status giperperehodami,
benefit a star next to the
distance of 2.8 light years. I
performed three times giperperehod
there - back, and then to
do not waste time approaching
the planet, took a capsule, the benefit of the money was
enough. Such maneuvers I performed about 12 times, in the end
the status of my clean.
But then I noticed something unusual. After the eighth
giperperehoda when a planet, I noticed that I've lost my
missile. After the next transition lost another one, then the
third and fourth! I have included a tip-off,
sensor turns green, even though
scoreboard was not a single icon
missiles. At this point, straight
rate appeared asteroid. I became
producing one missile after another.
By the time of the explosion the asteroid I
released nine missiles! True
it was a "wanderer" and some
he destroyed. Then I decided to check how many missiles without
liquidation may simultaneously be in space. I managed to to
release five more pieces, then there was an inscription "MISSLE
JAMMER ". With such a state I
shipped. Additional loading is preserved ...
"S": Original research,
Thanks. What can I add here? Once the program
"ELITE" began to hack, alter, amend, update - it is not
surprising that the mutant versions may give the most
unexpected surprises. And we do not surprised if in the "ELITE"
will will soon fly station-hermits
Vipers, pirates, etc. Yes, and fantasy on the subject of
"reenactors" does not hold. We ourselves can throw a few ideas
in addition to the above. Only Here it is not clear how much
can be cook in the same sauce? ..
Borodich Zhenya (Krasnoyarsk):
Hello mister editor!
I am eight years old, I'm in second class "M". The Pope made a
computer "P-128. We bought "spectrophone. We liked the game
"THE SENTINEL". Dad came to 60-th of the landscape (55361541).
"S": Congratulations! Only here
competition in this game, we have to
There has long been over.
Borodich ZHENYA: Please send us the Russian alphabet and a
program for sewing (for mom and my sisters). And then sold some
games. Mom says that there is no programs for sewing and
knitting. AND there are no programs for my sister.
Let Uncle programmers
send greetings to each other, and programs for children in
Russian write.
"S": subscribe to the wishes of
Genia. And give his address for those
who can send for him, Mom

Krupchatnikov (Solnechnogorsk):
Your magazine I really like.
I have all the issues. And very often
I run them not to
read and listen to music that is simply gorgeous (N6 -
"Review", N4 - "MENU", N10 - "menu"). Like
to know in which editor to write these songs. You once
wrote that using "SOUND
TRACKER ", but time is changing ...
"S": Times have certainly changed,
but "SOUND TRACKER" still
remains one of the most convenient
and high-quality music editors. We use an updated version of
"Sn.Tr. 3.0", in which introduced additional
128-e menu. But overall he did what
not differ from the regular version.
Krupchatnikov: And I'm nowhere
I can not find a full description
"SOUND TRACKERa. You do not accidentally
going to publish it? A
then every day computers
AY, more and more, and the normal description, for those who
he wants to write music - no.
"S": Yes, we prepare a full detailed description of this editor
and in the next issue in "SYSTEM" will be published. PRIGUN
Igor (Moscow): I am writing you regarding the issue Busygina A.
(5313 drive). Perhaps I Please help me with this problem.
Advance warning that my advice is pretty unprofessional,
because actually in work drive, I do not understand, but
Nevertheless, I stand two
5313's drive and as ELITE-2
(Novosibirsk), and ASM work fine. C described in
Journal of focus when I ran
connecting a second drive.
First established in the assembly
computer, and behaved normally,
but bought at Mitinskoe radio market got up similar trick. A
purely visual comparison two drives showed that
a new one of the bridges are in a position different from
an old drive.
I rearranged it and that's all
problems are over. So
you can reposition the jumper
on the three-prong bar to another position. Only two possible
positions, so it is difficult to get confused. The panel is on
the underside of the drive, about the middle of a long
edge. I repeat, I do not know to
what this means, but these
your program on my 13-x works fine. So the attempt - not
torture, check. Perhaps all the work on the second ...
And another thing: now you can Mitino
buy program "Instrument"
(Say, music editor
new generation) and the editor,
allows you to have 16 colors in
A familiarity. Could you
say something about
these programs.
"S": The program "Instrument" has a nice interface, design,
logic, but ... From a musical point of view - is rather weak.
Firstly: there is no direct music editor (The fact that there
can be pressed to key and retrieve the sound - not
into account). That is, write to
"Instrument" music is almost
impossible. Rather, it is not the editor, and player. Second:
for all these shortcomings
- The sound in the "Instrument", in spite
its "digitized" the origin of poor
(Too much noise). But, of course, if on this program
to work on - it could
shake many.
Pro image editor
"MEGASCREEN" say only one thing
- This program, in the form in
which it currently exists,
hardly can be a mass product because of its specificity.
And as a consequence - in this
stage of its application for a
full screen - under
the big question. So what about those
graphic screens, which are
It can be created, say
is not necessary. Many of them will be
available. Example - a colorful picture in
"SATISFACTION" made by the fact
same principle. Some people did not
realized that was on it. But
as they say, not gods pots
burn. Perhaps the authors
there are some new ways to solve this problem?
PRIGUN IGOR: By the way, I want to warn you that by buying
discs in Mitya, you can run into quite a serious copy
protection. For example, I strongly insulted protected floppy
disk with the following set:
