Hello, everyone!
Here is another issue of the magazine for every true Spectrum user. We would like to boast about how quickly we put this issue together: the whole thing was made in just 8 days! We are pleased that interest in the magazine has grown!
A few words about how to use it. Use Q / A to select an article and scroll the text; press SPACE to enter or leave an article. The program also supports SINCLAIR 1, KEMPSTON, CURSOR...
We are very sorry that you cannot scroll backwards through an article while reading it. We promise to fix that next time...
All right, now for the greetings.
Hello to: WILL, DUFF, MAłY, ERDIE MALCOLM, PIK, AGENT-X, RAJSOFT, DEFFIK, MUAD'DIB, KAZ (shame on you, lazybones), MAT, ZIUTEK, CYREHL OWL, JACEK MICHALAK, CAT-MAN, DEMON, DROZOL, EXODUS (thanks for PAK...), TOMMY COSSACK, K. DURA (your party in AGONY is great), MAJOR... and everyone else we have forgotten...
We encourage everyone to contribute. If you think you have something worth sharing with others, send it to us.
To finish, I (PYZA) would like to thank everyone who answered my appeal. Thank you for your support and for your comments about ZX LAND.
We closed this issue on 12.12.94.

Opening remarks
As usual, the duty of writing the introduction fell to the editor-in-chief. Scalman even said: “The editor-in-chief writes the introductions!”
So what can I do?
As everyone knows by now, the copyright law came into effect in May '94. In this case, copying programs covered by so-called COPYRIGHT is prohibited.
In theory, this law applies to us Spectrum users too. In practice, unfortunately (or, actually, fortunately), things are different. Because there is so little software available in our country (we are talking about the Spectrum, of course), we are practically forced to break this law.
Fortunately, our magazine is not protected by any rights (in English: NO RIGHT RESERVED), so you can copy it as much as you like.
I would also like to share a thought about computer magazines for other machines. Having looked at magazines for the C-64 and Amiga, I can say that there is a wonderful spirit of rivalry (competition) in magazine publishing there. Around 20 magazines are produced each month for each of those computers!
I would like us to aim for the same—or at least to publish one decent magazine.
But for that, we need your help too. Starting now (in fact, for several months already), you can take part in editing this magazine.
That is all I have to say.
Here is the current line-up of the ILLUSION members:
- PYZA — graphics artist, editor-in-chief
- SCALMAN — coder, editor
- KRISS — musician
- MAłY — coder
- WILL — idea man, editor
- DUFF — idea man, editor

I hope you enjoy reading ZX LAND.
Editor-in-chief, PYZA
