Autoslalom: Elektronika IM-23 1.1

The handheld electronic game, "Nu, Pogodi!" (Wolf catches Eggs) or "Autoslalom," is an iconic part of Soviet gaming history. This application claims to appeal specifically to enthusiasts of the original «Elektronika IM» series. It stands out in a crowded marketplace filled with subpar imitations available in the App Store. For those who have never experienced these original handheld games, it may be challenging to discern this app from the array of less authentic offerings.

What sets this application apart is its dedication to replicating the essence of these classic games. Leveraging a carefully studied knowledge of the KB1013VK1-2 four-bit microprocessor—the fundamental component of all Elektronika games—the developers present a faithful reproduction of the original gameplay algorithm. This approach distinguishes them significantly from competitors who utilize dubious versions of the experience.

This is not merely a replica; it is positioned as the "Original" or perhaps a "Perfect Clone." Uniquely, sounds within the game are generated directly from the microprocessor's program, without any external recording methods. This ensures that all timing and gameplay modes reflect those of the authentic Autoslalom experience. There is even a money-back guarantee for those who might perceive any discrepancies between this app and the classic game.

Moreover, the developers have also taken into account the nuances of the liquid-crystal display (LCD) found in the original device, accounting for variations in response based on battery levels. This adds a layer of realism that invites nostalgic experiences reminiscent of childhood gaming.

The application promises several intriguing features:

• Digitized representation of the original Soviet game "Autoslalom Elektronika IM-23."
• Accurate replication of the original game’s microprocessor algorithm.
• Functional game buttons mimicking those on the original device.
• Simulation options for LCD display characteristics based on user preference:
• • Analog - closely mimicking reality.
  • Digital - offering instant display reactions.
  • Off - revealing visual artifacts corresponding to microprocessor updates.
• A settings menu accessed by tapping the logo in the upper left corner.
• Customization options for game body and button colors.
• Battery charge simulation for an authentic experience.
• Alternative sound outputs offering different auditory experiences derived from actual chip outputs.
• Game reset functionalities, along with time and alarm settings akin to those in the original.
• Automatic synchronization with the iPhone or iPad clock.
• Real-time monitoring capabilities for microprocessor values and register content.
• Integration with Game Center for sharing achievements.
• Compatibility across both iPhone and iPad devices, with various orientation support on iPad.
• High-resolution graphics accommodating newer iPhone models, including iPhone X/Xs/Xs Max.
• Supported on iOS version 9 and above.

This application captures an essence that may resonate deeply with those familiar with its origins while offering modern features that enhance usability and engagement.
