Hello, alexeenko Yeah, difficult childhood, kilobyte toys... What kind of descriptions are these, 500 games? I think I had one, but it doesn’t look like the version from the collection. Just a lot of descriptions real toys. Maybe it’s just a different publisher... I was also flattered by the treasured the number 500... A bunch of "ZX Spectrum" inscriptions on the cover and no pictures. If the books were preserved, they would scan them and post them on virtual_trd_dos.

Hello Gadget2006 Gad> Oh, I found information on www.worldofspectrum.org that the game Gad> was never released on ZX... And still I wonder why then Gad> publish her description as if she were real Gad> existed?.. The version for Speck seemed to have even been completed, but was not released due to the trial Nintendo. As for other platforms, by the way. P.S. Nintendo are assholes, Giashka came out better than Mario, despite the obvious plagiarism :D

Hello, moroz1999 I remember that at one time I read in the series of books “500 games” about supposedly existing game Great Giana Sisters on ZX. This game itself was originally released on commodore 64, and was a clone of Super Mario (well, almost a clone - very similar in gameplay). I've been looking for Great Giana Sisters on cassette for a long time and never found it. Now, rummaging through various TZX and TRD archives, I see that it seems that such a game never existed basically. Another myth?...: Apparently, yes. Or rather, it is almost certain that yes. Why then did “500 Games” publish a description of this game?... [EDIT:] Oh, I found information on www.worldofspectrum.org that the game was never released on ZX... And yet I wonder why publish it then describing her as if she really existed?..

Hello, alexeenko ale> ...created a picture from the game METAL MUTANT. I saw the toy at that time ale> on IBM But it turned out cool! I'm really into Metal Mutants. I have PC version, which I never completed, because... there were some passwords needed for enter the database... ale> After part 3 of the descriptions of real games there were less than 50% And now we will be pleasantly surprised when games appear whose descriptions were in these collections a long time ago, and we have already given up on them, thinking that this is another deception... Rath-Tha is the clearest example of this!

Hello, ice'di^triumph ice> No, this is about VaPrint, but... The salon is in no way inferior to them... But weren’t 500 games of Solon and VaPrint identical?.. By the way, I am haunted by the description of the game T.R.K. in one of these collections. from Codemasters. It does not fit any of the games I know on different platforms. What kind of glitch is this?.. And one more thing: in these wonderful books I really liked the pearls of words and turns of phrase. descriptions of some hamulkas. We need to pull out the quote somehow!!! :)

From Dmitry Sachok To All 13 January 2007

Hello Slider There was a toy in the collection - Sherlock, with a pure soul I thought it was awesome beautifully drawn quest, with a lot of details and actions, with various options passing... That's how she was described. It turned out to be a text quest with a complete absence of any graphics.

Hello Slider Sli> But it turned out cool! I'm really into Metal Mutants. I have Sli> there is a PC version, which I never completed, because... there are some passwords Sli> had to be entered on the base... The Silmarils company was famous for such tricks, constantly putting stupid people in a puddle pirates. :) I have a normal crack lying around somewhere, if needed. You can also look for versions on ST and Amiga.

Hello Lethargeek Level9 company in recent adventures requested a password not only during shipment position (which was treated with a snapshot), but also on, say, the thousandth move. RPGs from Silmarils also often asked for a password in the middle of the playing field
