Garden Zone

Для игры в Garden Zone (Садовая зона) не нужны эмуляторы. Эта бродилка, опубликованная в России в 2016 году командой Epsilon Games, которую написал Radiotehnika Microgame.

This game – is a dream of mine in the early 1990s, when I was still the owner of “Younga” (compatible with Soviet Union computer “Specialist”). And I dreamed of the “Baba Yaga” (Russian fairy stories character), who flies through the Garden in search of a exit gate, but it is not so simple task – everything is planted by trees, flowers, are the doors, walls and piled trash. In 1994, I have rewritten the game for the ZX Spectrum, added some colors to the game and increased the mazes.

Baba Yaga have not so many choices: she can remove the flowers using scissors, cut down trees with an axes, or to open the doors with the keys. Objects disappear after a single use. In addition, the tool can not be dropped once taken and the only way to get rid of it – use for its specific purpose.

Stones, walls and tree stumps can not be removed, they are permanent obstacles.

Baba Yaga starts her march from the lower right edge of the garden, and out of the garden (the cherished “gate”) is at the top. You can select one out of a hundred pseudo-random generated mazes. “Pseudo” means althought the levels are randomly generated, but the level of 10, for example, will always look the same.

Help Baba Yaga go through all the mazes. Even though this game seems monotonous, passing some levels not a very trivial task and many times requires you to a good memory and creativity.

Control of the game: the keys Q, A, O, P, or Sinclair joystick (keys 6, 7, 8, 9) or Kempston joystick.

I give thanks and greetings to all those who carried out the beta test of this game, and especially to my old friend Vasily Kurdakov.

I also thank members of the zx-pk.ru forum and www.worldofspectrum.org forum for seeing and check out another of my creation 🙂
