We suggest that you familiarize yourself with some
projects, which now goes to work
our country.
THE LEGEND OF KIRANDII
Large graphic adventyura created in this
time in Yaroslavl.
NICODIM, known as the creator of the Spectrum version PRINCE
OF PERSIA, decided, apparently, to impress us with your next
adventure game by choosing this time the genre adventyury. And
this game, according to the author, will be full Russian
equivalents created for IBM Game LEGEND OF KYRANDIA, ie control
the heroes and testing locations will be done by hand.
Do you have an opportunity to assess the level of graphics in
the next game, although NICODIM said, handing the disc with a
picture that this is not the most beautiful. Success, Romance!
DUNE 2
Known for IBM, a complex strategy game
will soon appear on the Spectrum.
And it comes from Tver, from Roman Stolyarov.
You will see this after watching the demo
version of the game in the annex to the magazine. Almost
No differences from the IBM-ovsky games, well, except for
graphics, of course.
Spectrum version even faster,
and digitized voice sounds very bodryasche.
The only thing missing this demo - it
shipment to drive - very much exciting it
turned out!
Dial-CHESS
OMEGA GROUP St. Petersburg continues to develop idea
MODEMizatsii St. Petersburg.
Following newspaper network ZX-NEWS (well, very
interesting newspaper!) and a terminal program
MACRO MODEM, there appeared the idea of online gaming. AND
first of these, as we said, Alexander Mayorov, is likely to be
a modem version of chess. It is not known whether this
alteration one of the chess programs or work
start from scratch. But it's safe to say that these games will
be a weighty word in favor of the acquisition of modems.
SPRINTER
Petersburg company continues to successfully PETERS
work on a new home computer
under the working title SPRINTER.
On the computer itself was mentioned in section
Zhelezyaki, here we want to say about the other side of this
project.
The fact that any computer, whether it is the most advanced
hardware features to remain just a piece of iron, with no
software software that implements those of its capabilities.
So, the other side of the project Sprinter,
are projects to create software for a new computer. Below we
will describe the first such projects.
DOMAIN OS
Operating system for sprinters.
Just hit the market software
provide a new operating system Domain, and
Its author, a St. Petersburg developer Maxime GANNUTIN, will
soon begin operating under a new adaptation car firm Peters.
While no one knows what the next beautiful
name will be given a new version (released on the eve bears the
name PINK FLOYD). But before the user will appear in a new way
of decoration, beaming all the colors of the new modes. And for
programmers the OS will be finished medium for the design and
operation of the program. Can already an example of this.
Graphics Software
The new graphical editor for sprinters.
PROFSOUSE group began to establish a radically new graphical
editor for SPRINTER computer equipped DOMAIN OS.
The Editor will have not only familiar to spektrumistov
opportunities, but such such as setting the windows of
arbitrary shape reference mask. By the time the mass selling PC
editor is finished, and the user can himself check graphics
capabilities of the new machine.
TEXT EDITOR
The new text editor for sprinters.
PROFSOUSE group recently began work on
Create a new text editor, combining the best features of
well-known editors. In particular, we realized the possibility
of presenting text in multiple formats ranging from 42 to 80
characters per line.
After creating the editor will be released a version adapted
to the Sprinter.
We talked about only the part of the famous
our projects. But some other short already
mentioned in other sections of the magazine.
In the next issue of the story of these endeavors will be
continued. And we'll keep you informed of known works.
