Over the weekend, before Peter came, finally, the twentieth
spectrophone, and we have a long-awaited (since Enlight'a:)
opportunity to compare it with ZF 4.5! Yes, but how to compare
the incomparable?
As expected, the content spectrophone - not just best, and
the very best, however, as always. Imho, the content of ZF 4.5
far behind, in contrast to 2, 3 and 4th.
What I like spectrophone - yeah those
that he was about Speccy, about my favorite computer. What we
offer ZF? Amiga, Amiga, Amiga ... Almost all articles. This,
Again, imho, not seriously - in Spectrum magazine to devote as
much attention another platform.
But! Somewhere in the promised fancy envelope in SF?
Not-ee-tu ... New splash-logo group Step, menus, on which runs
poorly distinguishable on black and white monitor strip special
effects in the form of a "spotlight" periodically "rolling" in
the text - Now, in principle, and all significant differences
from prededuschih rooms. This is not counting Applications ...
A planned application even very good - the names of programs
written on a monitor located in the wheelhouse of the
spacecraft, together with a cursor that walk on this menu, move
"lever" - if we take the basis of "Star Wars" Lucas, there
using such a "lever" the ship went into a hyper-jump ...
However, this mini-bottles flatly refused
work on Scorpion'e, ie from it either
One program does not start, and all hangs. Although, maybe I
came across a version of the hack? There does not seem so as it
seems, she trademark protection yet.
Well, okay - you can tolerate. In the end, in Newskah
glitches were much more ... :) But all the fun started when I
carefully studied the description, tried to run S. Beast - Toys
one being actively discussed in the Fido and in general,
judging by their conversation, very interesting.
And Scorpion'e except step'ovskoy introshki, nothing else
could not see. AND they call it restoration version
Laptev? But for such intro'shki and loader'y
have legs ... : (Not only that-whether from Ukraine
rubbish goes, so now Step back, though. As if in Moscow Scorpion
no ...
Here, perhaps, and all "pritenzii" to SF
# 20. By ZF # 4.5 there were many more.
So, it seems that we have found "strong" and
"Weak" side of both magazines: Spectrofon - Shell and ZF -
content. But but we have in our country, two class magazine,
which, although they compete with each other, but continue to
please us, the users of Spectrum, its let's not often but since
all the necessary outputs.
P.S. Once again I remind you that ZxNews - newspaper, and
about any competition, journals and say not much. But there is
here with us a newspaper, to which we are all still want to
reach ... ;)
