chitateli could seen in the previous issue zhurnala. Have

view raspinaniya DANGEROUSa about:
"... Ninja chops all in kapustu, final moans ..." etc. We have 
sounded a few games, mostly arkadnyh. Rezultaty turned nastolko 
OBALDENNYE that We do not sami ozhidali! Glavnaya nasha pride

- Igra TARGET RENEGADE. Although reconcile kapusty tam and 
there, but myasorubka poluchilas otmennaya. One has only to 
skazat that the game ispolzovalos a total of several tens of 
FX, nachinaya with simple udarov kulakami to vizga umirayuschey 
sobaki (Sadizm). Very bad looks XECUTOR

P.P.S.

 If you decide too poprobovat forces and adaptirovat game (his 
or someone else) under GENERAL SOUND, we dadim unto you nesolko 
councils.  1. Doskonalno learn dokumentatsiyu nA

programmirovanie GS and experiment.
 2. Use ustanovki priorities
samples!
, 3. Samoe vazhnoe: nikogda not peremeshivayte effects of GS 
with effektami AY8910 and spikera, firstly, it looks uzhasno, 
in second, GS spravitsya with spetseffektami gorazdo better 
because he can proigryvat to four effects simultaneously, and 
the tail of one nakladyvat effekta nA nachalo another 
(mnogokanalnost, HOW to reconcile).
