GridScan - 2K game for Radio-86RK, Apogey BK01, Mikrosha, Partner 01.01
by Shiru (shiru@mail.ru) 10'10


This small Amidar-like game made for few Soviet home computers. They are very similar by hardware, but aren't software compatible, so separate versions are necessary:

gridscan.rk  - Radio-86RK
gridscan.rka - Apogey BK01
gridscan.rkm - Mikrosha
gridscan.rkp - Partner 01.01

There are few multisystem emulators which supports all these computers, including Emu80 and Emulator 3000, but I recommend this one: http://bashkiria-2m.narod.ru/files/emu.rar

To run the game, start the emulator, select one of the computers from the list. Press I,Enter - open file dialog will appear, select corresponding file. Then press G,Enter - the game will start. The same actions are required to load and run any other game from tape on these computers, there is no autostart, program names, etc.

The game controlled with cursor keys, however, they are mapped to different keys of PC keyboard in different emulators and for different computers. Try cursor keys or Numpad.


If you want to compile the sources, you'll need:

SjAsmPlus (http://sjasmplus.sourceforge.net/) - edit compile_all.bat to provide correct path
MegaLZ (http://lvd.nm.ru/MegaLZ/) - put the exe into the sources directory

Now you can run the compile_all.bat and get all the versions of the game.

Thanks for authors of all the tools used to create this game, special thanks to Dmitry Tselikov for the emulator and provided help.
