headline news<br />
-------------<br />
<br />
honestly, my personal headliner<br />
reached me in venlo, when arrogance<br />
of x-ray, the editor of 'bildzeitung'<br />
told me how he got the antichrist<br />
interview, which you could read in<br />
the third issue of his magazine.<br />
i was told by him, that antichrist<br />
sent the interview without being<br />
asked for, that means, the questions<br />
and answers were both made by anti-<br />
christ himself !<br />
nice job, oliver!<br />
<br />
<br />
further headliners this month are...<br />
<br />
- transcom &amp; x-ray coop split up<br />
<br />
- random will presumably die when<br />
stormbringer quits in april.<br />
<br />
- german "plk's" will be closed in<br />
summer '91 by the german post.<br />
<br />
<br />
* read the news-section for more<br />
detailed informations !<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
in this issue you won't find any<br />
demo reviews, because only a very<br />
few demo arrived this month, half of<br />
them are not worth being tested and<br />
some didn't even work properly...<br />
<br />
worth mentioning is the newest<br />
powers of pain demo called 'tendance'<br />
consisting of eight parts...<br />
<br />
a canadian demo was sent to us by<br />
the wanderer/evil, try to have a look<br />
at it if possible... (thanks mike)<br />
<br />
<br />
(+) for the charts...<br />
<br />
to be first or not to be first<br />
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^<br />
<br />
the us-game 'dark knights of krynn'<br />
was released by atc and nec almost<br />
at the same time...<br />
<br />
an atc-member scratched the nec<br />
version off of warez castle to get<br />
their own version on.<br />
<br />
* deleting an other groups' release<br />
will be punished with loosing the<br />
contest for that game. important :<br />
that applies to every board !<br />
...point for nec<br />
<br />
<br />
a foreword...<br />
<br />
welcome to this months first release<br />
charts. hopefully this month the<br />
charts will look more objective due<br />
to the fact that there has been more<br />
releases this month.<br />
<br />
the rules are simple, over the month<br />
we watch 3 top boards and note the 1st<br />
releases. in the case of two groups<br />
releasing the same game, the group<br />
that has there version on a majority<br />
of the 3 boards first gets the point.<br />

mirage, last month no 1, had no<br />
first release in the last weeks,<br />
except for a print kit...?!<br />
three releases doesn't seem to be<br />
striking, but compared to former<br />
months, it is a real progress.<br />
<br />
<br />
further turrican ii from rainbow<br />
arts has been released, however it<br />
has not been fixed to ntsc-norm,<br />
that's why no point was given for<br />
this game.<br />
presumably it was action who had the<br />
first release...<br />
<br />
some previews has been released such<br />
as back to the future iii by censor.<br />
