History of magazine "ZX-Power".
Came 1996 year. Took place first Enlight, at full speed came development
magazines and newspapers, "collected the turns" native producers of soft, in a word, a life
on spactrum-stage seethed with vengeance. In Kharkov on that moment a situation on spectrum
telescoped in the following manner: was a few separate commands (Code Busters, Enigma, Mafia),
and also coders lone persons (Stalker, Alem) and though many of of them knew each other,
together to work all not want (well this and now so ;)). To be sure, actually then
sceners was much more (some of them up to nows do not dash Spectrum), but far not all were
able (or wanted) to "untwist". Some do not go towards then disketing games, some not enough
patiences to complete anything to the last, some simply bothered Spectrum, so that them names
scarcely to somebody acquainted out Kharkov "scene" and to enumerate them here not a necessity.
In respect of magazine making, that in Kharkov published (exactly,
mocked) then scandalously reputed Faultless. Made his Joker and Impetus. But this magazine
does not arrange in our town nobody, except myself his authors. For example, in last (it
seems to me, #9) number of this publishment can be found a very interesting
phrase: "... in Kharkov this number will appear in last turn, because HERE US DISLIKE..."
Not surprising! And for that to love-��? All of kharkov programms, published
in Faultless'�, (except them own) were placed there by this "maffia" without consent
on that authors! Exactly similarly was business and with other cities. In other
words, Joker and Impetus, considered oneself only in town sceners, and all
of the rest of simply "threw". These informations lead here not for that, to
spoil a reputation Mafia (they ourselves to her oneself very long ago spoiled), and for
that, that a reader comprehend - Faultless never was not by magazine of kharkov ZX-stage,
and a necessity in scene magazine was. Given necessity and served by cause
to creation ZX-Power.
By magazine sources stood two man - Squizer and V.M.G. But
so far as a magazine from the first was scene, in his creation took active
participation many active kharkov sceners: Cobra, ZMan, S. System, Dismaster,
Evil Genius, Vic, Fisher and others. To going out moment of first number formed
a new command is United Coders Group, which jointly with Enigma and let loose
ZX-Power #1. Magazine Appellation logically followed from release motto: "We believe
in to power of ZX!"

Led a magazine release Squizer. A First publishment
number produced a big noise in circles kharkov users, wherein considerable role played not
only articles quality, but and good Appendix is that only costed demo-version
of "Citadel" and doom-like mini-game "Doom-Mania".; )) Time came, a magazine went away
on CIS, and a release already prepared a second number...
To going out moment ZX-Power #2 release (and Spectrum scene) composition
severally changed - disappeared ZMan, went away still some peoples, but and added
new. Shell was rewritten anew, notedly changed and design, a quantity
of articles increased once in two. Just in time this is was created unification
X-Project Association, where came in many kharkov (and not only) sceners.

ZX-Power #2 got out by summer 1997 year and with that moment firmly
became stronger in first ten Spectrum magazines. X-Project collected the turns,
prepared the new projects, appeared the new peoples, came development ZXNet in Kharkov...
But here a wave of spectrum activity in CIS went towards on decrease,
and Kharkov does not begin by exception. :( Many (more 50%) spectrumist or went away on PC,
or quite bespattered the computers and in magazine release remained practically one
Squizer. A creation Process ZX-Power #3 depended in mid air. All a crisis was settled:
to creation of magazine was linked E.Nesterenko (Jam), after Mechanic, and before long and
other sceners brought in its endowment in publishment of next number. Space between
ZXP#2 and ZXP#3 turned out to be the very long - around 16 months, and all he got out!
Of course, told a shortage of peoples, and in first turn coders: a shell practically
does not change, though to 1998 year and a few became antiquated...
