Because We rarely read left-wing newspapers, so I want to post a subject :)

The full version is finally out
the most global, the largest, the most
cool release of 1997/1998. Undoubtedly
This is "Black Raven". This is the game, oh
which everyone has said so much about
lazy, numerous publications constantly
published an interview with the author, as well as
reviews of demo versions. Multiple
demo versions (and there were already 5 of them)
only increased the excitement around this
product.
And finally it came out, the full version.
Naturally, it was impassable :) Then
another one came out, how things went next I

Well, finally, Ch8 came to our city -
hero. Here I, taking this opportunity, want to pre-
whip and run into MednoNogov at least
on two points. This is:
1. Finding the interrupt vector and
program code in SLOW-RAM,
because of which the game itself is incredibly
slows down.
2. When reading/writing from disk, vectorinterrupts are located in SLOW-RAM, due to

Horror, and also, as Mythos writes,
MednoNogov believes that SCORPION is
two-field machine! And this is what the man says,
which is considered the best program
stoma on SPECCY.
He repeats his mistakes for the third time
once - he thinks that his defense is with a stack
in the screen area will solve the whole problem with
illegal copying. Perhaps she
will solve the MAGIC problem (although not 100%!

I want to tell you the story of the ChV in Brest and
in Belarus.
In Brest I worked on hacking this game

guys to change buggy copies (to more

This is how Syava MednoNogova was “taken for
