Especially And that Aladdin is more serious than Donald? ;) The engine is the same - just the sprites are different. It's more about the genre. The only thing that was a lot has been done on the Spectrum - that’s the logic / puzzles. According to my estimate, about 60% of all games are in ex-ussr. Moreover, this is mainly characterized by primitive extended games to the entire disc (Magic Stripes, Hundred, 15, Open It, Turn...) There are few real masterpieces here. I would note perhaps only King Valley and Hexxagon. Although I think this genre has not exhausted itself yet...In second place are dizzy-like ones. 20 percent. In the majority your steering wheel Dizzy X,Y, Winnie the Pooh (by the way, how about the 2nd are things moving forward?), Santa Claus (by the way, Is everyone aware that the 2nd part has been ready for a long time and is waiting? consumer. The graphics there are simply cool!!! I have demo show made from the final version - 80K), 48 irons, etc. But for such games you need to have a thoughtful idea and a sea of graphics.

Then Mortal Kombat, Ice Climber, Dina Blaster, Tank Wars, Pinocchio :), oops - Sexonix - also rules! VK> For example, I haven’t seen a single normal hockey game...

VK> Otherwise they mold all sorts of strategies, logic and other mirrors... VK> They're not making fun of me... As for logic - hmm, I already said that logic is stupid I'm tired of it. There are very few quests and strategies - maybe Is that why they are in demand? VK> All of the above is just the opinion of one Spectrum user.

From Valeriy Kovalev To Arseniy Astapenko 15 February 1999

Greetings, Arseniy! Somehow 14 Feb 99 Arseniy Astapenko and Igor Galuza we were talking about new games... AA> Colored sprites - they move like crap, at least AA> you can’t move it by points - there will be no smoothness. Then in AA> in many games (probably seen) when an object moves AA> attributes creep in spots on some background :) AA> Although masterpieces are also found with color graphics, AA> for example Astro Marine Corps. Have you seen I,BALL 2? Tama all the graphics are color and almost nowhere do the attributes overlap each other, almost everything is there sprites are 2*2, and everything moves smoothly... Haven't I bothered everyone yet with the constant mention of this hubbub? I really like her. And my last record for its completion - 1 hour 04 minutes :) Valeriy Kovalev aka EQUATOR was here

Get Msg, Valeriy! 10 Feb 99 15:56, Valeriy Kovalev reported to Ilya Abrosimov about {new games...}: IA>> Me too. But I almost like COPPER FEET's games IA>> all.;))) VK> Well then! Fame doesn't do anything bad! VK> Especially "VIDEO SPORT" ;-)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Sorry, but Videosport and GameBox are the fruit of my younger brother’s wild imagination, which is in Finland right now :))) Are there those here who are fans of our “Talking ABC” on the beepper? ;)) Warm greetings, Slava!
