Feel warmly welcome to the board chapter
of Jamaica, which is edited by TABASCO.
I always thought it was so boring to see
just a board number and a comment like:

-Bah! Call this mega elite board, it
fucking rules! No:1 for sure!!!

So, I decided to make a few reviews of
some european boards... I'm not going
to rank any of them, I will just tell
you facts and what I think about them!

They are:

The decadence............Spirit/Antic hq
Icecream castle.........Rebels/Excess hq
Powerengine....Atlantis/Triad/JAMAICA hq
The highway..........Chromance/Coderz hq
The studio......................Triad hq
Paradize.....................Illusion hq
Future zone..........Fairlight/Active hq
Warez aquarium..............Fairlight hq
The lost empire...............Success hq
Twilight world......Electric boys/Taq hq

That's 10 different boards...

COMMENTS: Nice graphics by various guys.
This board has a really nice and fast
user ranking & two game modules which
are empire & little shop of horrors.
The most original about this board is
the little built in text adventure in
swedish called "JOHNNY FAGGOT"! It's
a nice game about killing and raping!
Too bad for you that it's written in
swedish! The sysop, Spirou/Fairlight is
doing his military service, so it can
be hard to get a chat with him.
----------------------------------------
Country: Sweden

Online since: first up on 28/6 1990-
march 1991, with Sledge
as sysop. opened again
somewhere around summer
1991 - ?,with Tron as
sysop. and now again
running with Sledge
as sysop, since 25th
november 1992.

COMMENTS: Good graphics.. Especially the
pictures made by Jucke/G*P. The board
has no modules and no libraries. When
you write a mail to another user it
doesn't show who you write to, that's
a bit irritating. Rumours says that
this board and the FUTURE ZONE will be
running on a PC in the future. They will
still be c64 boards, but the speed will
be much greater with a pc. the sysop
of this board, Sledge/Fairlight is a
crazy snes & neo geo fan.. he always
talks about his cool new games.

COMMENTS: Nice graphics as on most
boards.. A graffity wall, some good
game modules, a user rank module etc..
But the loader is slow. a nice library
with BOARD GRAPHICS! Really nice idea!
it has graphics from old and new boards
.. And dead, like my board Dreamline.
This is one of my favorite europe boards
I also swap with the sysop Guzzler.

COMMENTS: Really nice modds, promts &
graphics! This mod is the coolest i ever
seen! This is mainly a phreak board.
The amount of users is low, but i think
it's because that the sysop, Eric have
changed mod lately. The wares area is
only 1 c1541-ii, but Eric tells me that
he has 1 GIG HD which is sent away for
repair! I don't know if this is true..
Time will show...
