Maybe that`s because our stupid russian mailbox that can`t understand
your "foreign" letters. But, looks like, it happens for the first
time because I got all letters that were sent to me. Anyway, it`s a
pity that I didn`t get yours. I`m very easy to socialize with. So
I`ll wait for your mails, because I always like to speak with clever
men, especially if they have the same interests as me. :-)
You`ll have to try these e-mails:
igorekmak@...
rusmark2000@...
igorekmak@...
I`ll wait for your mails very much!

You`ll have to wait for JSW: ZX world then. It won`t lost FROSYA
standard. I just wonna try or, better, examine - how would WILLY feel
himself in 3D world...

I suppose so, but a lot of enemies couldn`t be killed with a gun, so
you`ll have to avoid them. It won`t be easy, because of its engine
and their brains (they didn`t have their paths, they will try to get
you anyway they could). Shooting enemies will be funny. Though it
sounds strange... First, enemies will look like in JSW. The only
changing is that they`ll be 3D. Wait for the penknives, toilets,
monks, Maria`s and so on.. :-)

THANX A LOT for this list, but I`ve already included a lot of them.
:-))))))))) It is rather difficult to include to JSW games that
have ..3D spectrum style.. like PENTAGRAM, KNIGHT LORE, HEAD OVER
HEELS but I will INCLUDE them too. But do not say "so on" - tell me
the full list... :-))))) Ha-ha! It is a joke..! :-))

Okay, okay. Don`t worry. ;-)))
