              the charts
             ------------

  hello !!!
  let me start with this :

  did you know that still 80% of the
  incoming votes are invalid, because
  80% seem to be too stupid to
  understand how to vote. (now i know
  why kohl won)
  check the last issue (#13) for a
  detailed 'how-to-do-it' pattern !!

   ok, so far the monthly charts...
   we dropped the most hated/most liked
   charts, as most of the guys have
   to think several minutes about that
   kind of charts to gather 5 dudes...

   places 2-5 usually aren't really
   hated or liked by the voters...



   go on for more...




            the demo reviews
           ------------------

  only a few demos were sent in this
  time, we got the new blackmail &amp;
  cosmos designs cooperation demo,
  big fun 3 by triumwyrat, digital
  excess and a fairlight production.

  if you want to have your demo
  reviewed here at this place just send
  it to the mamba box !!



                                    (+)

  cosmail by cd and black mail wasn't
  the expected success, but the demo
  contained some quite nice graphics
  by di-art and a new sprite-record
  by who else...mc sprite (118).
  cosmail also contains some great
  exclusive tunes, further some average
  coding skill was shown.
  maybe black mail wants to keep the
  stunnung parts for 'dutch breeze' ??

  coding   ^ 74%
  graphics ^ 69%
  design   ^ 58%
  music    ^ 81%
  total    ^ 71%
 the triumwyrat demo was surprising !!
 not because of the graphics or
 brilliant coding, but because of
 really nice ideas !

 vector scrollers, animated vector
 graphics and a cool raster-trick
 see that the entertaiment never falls.

 further the 6 parts contained average
 graphics and music.

 coding   ^ 76%
 graphics ^ 60%
 design   ^ 82%
 music    ^ 58%
 total    ^ 69%

  digital excess, made for the asm-
  democompetition, is the best demo
  this month ! although the idea of
  this demo is old (bonzied), it is
  composed of great ideas, cool
  graphics and a nice sound.
  it contains only 1 part + 1 intro !
  many pictures, sprites etc. change
  in the rythm of the music, like a
  video-clip, just a bit faster! great!

  coding   ^ 80%
  graphics ^ 83%
  design   ^ 90%
  music    ^ 70%
  total    ^ 81%

  the last demo comes from fairlight,
  it contains 3 parts! the first part
  (intro) contains a nice picture and
  an flt-sound remix(dm dm dm...dm d d
  dm, you know), the second part an
  interesting scroller and the last
  part a flexable scroller and an
  average logo ! on the whole it
  contains no special ideas or skills,
  but it's kinda entertainment though.

  coding  ^ 55%
  graphic ^ 67%
