__________________________________________


   Honestly, I did not want to write
this article because as recently novya
time is almost not there,: (but thought
me: what if people know not all projects that have appeared 
this year in Kharkov? So hit the road I'm on the radio market, 
rummaged in large bins sold software,

and ... selected the most interesting prog
(Igruhi, of course) for a
them to our readers.

   We begin the procedure of issue of games, although the
Kharkiv they came not in the same sequence.



                  GOAT


          (C) Accept Corp. 1997



   A computer version of the same name card game. Pretty good 
music, (you can choose one of five tones) decent (albeit 
monochrome) graphics, user-friendly interface, all this has to 
play in the "Goat", even if you're not a fan of card games. 

   The only caveat - Artificial
Intelligence: Well, very much fair play
complex on the third level! ;)



             HUNTING KROTOV


            (C) Asphyxia, 1998



   Breathtakingly fun idea! Like and
ordinary shooter, like the level of
one, but still worth playing.

   Point of the game are as follows: driving a diyavolskoy 
machine on tracks, must shoot arriving from warmer

Land ... Moles, saving them from garden
economy.

   Excellent graphics, music. effects along with music, in 
general, everything is as it should! 



              end of part 1



                WHITE EAGLE


            (C) Fatality, 1998



   In principle, this can not be called a complete game, 
(rather the demo version) but the design is excellent, which is 
not surprising: it features a cool design all work

Fatality and their countrymen Asphyxia.

   In the game you have to jump through
mines posobirat all sorts of "tricks" and perform several 
conditions of a winged hedgehog in a state of profound 
hangover. :)) 



                 LEPREKON


      (C) Omega Hackers Group, 1998



   Everyone knows what a Lode Runner? Well
So, Leprekon - it's the same thing
only better. Sprites are bigger pile
setting and service, there is even the editor
levels.

   What's more, he wondered, do you want? So
looking for a game and become a Leprechaun -
very greedy, old, evil and loathsome dwarf ... ;)))



             end of part two

              12 secret book


          (C) Demiurge Ash, 1998



   This ambitious project, a sort of
RPG-shaped adventyura. By controlling the two characters (a 
warrior and a mage) you need to overcome many obstacles: it's 
vicious man-snakes, and all sorts of traps, and shrewd puzzle.


   Game stylishly decorated, has a modern interface and a large 
number of high-quality graphics, is also provided help'om and 
cool intro. 

   So if you have not seen 12TK, then
I assure you, have lost much!



                   KING


             (C) BSoft, 1999



   Again, a card game, this time -
"King". The game is a considerable choice of opponents,
(On playing "mediocre" donkeys Eeyore, to
shparyaschih excellent rabbits) nice music and the system 
prompts enough for those not familiar with the rules.


   Disadvantage - too small sprites, maps,
because that is difficult to distinguish color.

Overview of software # 4


(C) 1999, E. Nesterenko (Jam)

                 C.H.I.F.


        (C) Optical Brothers, 1999



   Full name of the game - "Chainik: Horror
In Flat ", because the game tells the story of
adventures of a fellow named Kettle.

   The genre is adventyura, combined in
currently interfaces "ZN" and "Mirrors", but with the 
clear-prikolisticheskim humorous slant. The volume of games is 
small, but tinker with It will have: some points to understand

possible only with the full implantation
in the role. ;))



       Black Raven (new mission)


          (C) Copper Feet, 1997

          (C) Compu Studio, 1999



   From the company "The Raven" cut intro,
help, replaced Kartika between levels, melodies, and, of 
course, framed by new levels. All of this fit on one disc.


   Not that it was so
Interestingly, (the new characters are not here, and
Even the schedule has not changed) but in anticipation of
FT-2 is far and chop ... ;))

   By the way, there is also a level editor, in
where you can make up their own versions of
"The Raven".



   Well, so far everything seems to be. Unfortunately,
I can say that for all of 1999 does not add any major project, 
in contrast to, for example, from 1998. But there is hope that 
in 2000 will be several games such as work on them gradually 
nearing completion. (By information from reliable sources)
