Yappa dappa doooooo,
and welcome to yet another round of :


NEWS'N'RUMOURS


As always jam-packed with news from the c64 scene.
So what happend this time ? Hmmm, numerious dudes
changed their group, lot's of releases were given to
the masses, a party took place, and so on, and so on.
But hey why am I telling you all this, why not read on
and see for yourself!!!  Go ahead - Just do it!

--------------------------------------------

* Ok the first piece of news is : I have changed the
letter 'k' for this issue.    HE-HE!!!
(ps. Not the capital K but the small one!)

* The winner of the X-95 party in Holland were :
Reflex with the cewl trackmo : RADIO NAPALM, which
were entirely coded by my good buddy Quiss!! The
sound were composed by PVCF (I never have figured
out what that means - ed!). It might be the last
tune by him, as rumours say he might leave the c64
scene. Too bad!!

* The mag 'Relax' is not dead as someone claimed.
They released issue #8 at the party (99% version)
and later issue #9 (100% version). An easy way to
release lots of issue I think.

* Talking about mags. Besides Gamers Guide by Triad,
then also Jamaica by Jam is dead. Triad has said it
so many times, but this time I belive it's for real.
Jamaica, which was founded apx at the same time as
this magazine, were released 12 times before it
died!

* Grimlock left both Accuracy and Extacy.

* Aegis, Cody &amp; Alter of Bronx Turkish section joined
Accuracy as second group.

* Aegis/Bronx/Acy joined Atlantis as 3rd group.

together with DJ/Acy and a few more Acy members!
