<p><b>New page</b></p><div><pre><br />
hye there...<br />
<br />
so, further 6 weeks passed (sigh),<br />
but that is not really a disadvantade<br />
as you will find the more interesting<br />
things in this issue.<br />
especially remarkable is the<br />
'news &amp; rumours' section as we just<br />
passed quite an eventful month.<br />
<br />
have a look at this month's<br />
headliners on the following page<br />
though...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
. ikari dead, danes joined legend<br />
<br />
. excalibur back, x-factor returned<br />
<br />
. genesis project &amp; victims in<br />
cooperation<br />
<br />
. terminal obsession, censor us hq,<br />
down, sysop prodigy caught by<br />
secret service<br />
<br />
. sorceress/victims admitted having<br />
phonesex with bod/talent<br />
<br />
. and more...<br />
<br />
<br />
around the 19th/20th of september<br />
it must have been, when swat-teams<br />
(special anti-terror forces in the<br />
states) visited the houses of<br />
murdock and grim reaper of nei.<br />
<br />
shortly before, two americans known<br />
in the c64 scene as skandle and thor<br />
called up the police and turned them<br />
(grim reaper &amp; murdock) in for<br />
murder. the swat teams stormed their<br />
houses etcetc<br />
<br />
to horizon/nei they sent the fire-<br />
brigade.<br />
<br />
<br />
needless to say that something like<br />
that can only derive of the minds of<br />
creatures that are mentally sick!<br />
<br />
if you did not know yet how low<br />
humans can be, here you got the best<br />
example... thor &amp; skandle ...<br />
<br />
it all started when the nei members<br />
were quarreling with the cure (same<br />
group like thor and skandle) on some<br />
us-board, that is why they decided<br />
to do it.<br />
<br />
<br />
another topic...<br />
<br />
opinion poll<br />
------------<br />
<br />
71 boys and girls gave their opinion<br />
to the following question, asked on<br />
mamba&lt; headquarter,the shaolin temple<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'when you see a girl for the first<br />
time, what do you notice first ?'<br />

ok here are the new look charts.<br />
as always we have tried to be as<br />
objective as possible where the lamer<br />
charts are concerned.<br />
<br />
check the lamer chart itself for more<br />
details of the way these games are<br />
judged. as you will notice both the<br />
charts will be separated and there'll<br />
be a section at the end for details of<br />
other releases. ie. previews and<br />
utilities.<br />

change at the top for once.<br />

explanations:<br />
-------------<br />
black reign released hiskado 100% as<br />
there first import. both versions had<br />
the full 130 levels. the only thing<br />
different was a basic level editor in<br />
the g*p/black reign version. points<br />
were given to verdict/nei.<br />
<br />
empire released a 100% version of i<br />
want more diamonds. the only thing<br />
they claim is wrong with mirage's<br />
import was that it had a track and<br />
sector loader. points given to mirage<br />
and hysteric.<br />
<br />
