Here you'll find some info about me.

1. Introducing myself.

My real name is Max Savenkov. Hope, you've already noticed that my nick is "MaxEd". I'm 18 now and I live in Moscow, the capital of Russia (ya know, it's somewhere to the north from China).

2. Me and Music.

For me, music is something special. I like Rock'n'Roll, Jazz, DISCO and some Glam Rock. My favorite bands and singers are: Bill Haley's Comets, C.C.R., Slade, Sweet, Beatles, Little Richard, Ace Of Base, Auqa, Louis Armstorng etc. (see my Chords and Lyrics page - everything that is there (nearly) all my favorites). What I hate is Russian Pop Music - "Попса". I can't even watch MTV Russia! Well, if you've ever heared Tatu and not hated them lesbians from the first sound, I think you should visit your doctor at once.
I like to listen to music alone. I go to my room or put on headphones and then let rhytm carry my soul away! I think no other style as good as old Rock'n'roll!

3. Me and Books.

I like reading very much. My parents sometimes say that even TOO much. Well, I read 600-pages book in four days and our shelves are filled with books, so theres isn't place for more! I read mostly Sci-Fi and Fantasy, but also some War Histroy books and detectives. Tolkien, Azimov, Harry Harrison, Asprin, Foster etc. I've read Robert Thurston books from "Battletech" cycle and I liked 'em very much, but other authors from this cycle just suxx!
J.R.R. Tolken books are very special for me. I've read "Lord Of Rings" six or seven times (one time in english and the rest in russian) and still think that this is the very best Fantasy book in the world! I also the only one among my friends who went through Silmarillion more than once (three or four times, actually).
Max Frei is another very special author for me. He is not known (as I think) outside Russia, but if you know russian, maybe you would see "The Royal Voice Of Exo" page witch is all about his books and his fans. I'm trying to write novels myself but I don't think that I'm a real good writer. You can read some of my novels on this site, but they all are in russian.

4. Me and Computer.

My first computer was ZX Spectrum 48k. My parents bought it in autman of 1992. That was a romantic time!! Tapes with games, "Electronica" tape-recorder... Then we bought Profi 256k with floppy drives! It was a revolution! No more 5 minutes to load a game! What a sound! Ohh... My old Profi still stand in my room on small table in the corner and sometimes I turn it on to remember old games (though mostly just use emulators).
In 1996 we bough PC. It was 486 DX2/66 with SVGA card! My first games was Doom and Day of The Tentacle, but later I've moved to little oldier games: Golden Axe, Prehistoric (Ow! What a game!!!!), F117, Short Lines, F1 Gran Prix, CIVILISATION... Next autman we bought 2xspeed CD-Rom drive, and by that time my only dream was new HD to hold all games that won't run from CD. Later I owned P-233 with 32Mb of RAM, SB64AWE, 24xCD-Rom and 6mb Voodoo Rush video card. And now I got PIV-1600 with 256MB RIMM! But I keep playing old games! I LOVE old games!
My favorite games:
3-d shooters: WW2GI, Hidden and Dangerous,Deadly Dozen, Medal Of Honor
Arcades: Commander Keen serie, Black Throne, Raptor, Dangerous Dave, Sopwith... I love 'em all!
3-d arcades: I HATE THEM ALL!!! TOMB RIDER SUXX!! LARA MUST DIE!!!!
Simulators: Aces Over Europe, Chuck Yeager's Air Combat, F117, F19.
Strategies: Heroes Of Might and Magic, Civilisation 1 and 3 (2 - suxx), WarCraft I&II, Earth 2140.
Quests: Legend Of Kyrandia 1-3, Beneath The Steel Sky, Touche, Heart Of China.
Racing: Fatal Racing!! Stunt Rally!! Test Drive 3!!! Eat My Dust!!
So, because nobody want to make new version of my favorites, especiall 2D arcades (they're dead...), so I decided to start programming myself. I've started on my first ZX Spectrum, but my first serious works were made on PC.

4. Me and School.

Blessed be the time when I left this painfull institution. I hated it and it doesn't worth talking about now when I'm at Moscow State Industrial University.

5. My friends.

I have not very much friends and I'm always looking for new!
