<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&lt;pre&gt;<br /> hye there,<br /> <br /> yes! with a huuuuuuuge delay issue<br /> no 24 finally got released, means if<br /> we really had put the magazine out<br /> monthly we would be able to celebrate<br /> its 2-years anniversary with the<br /> release of this issue...<br /> <br /> ...if...<br /> <br /> nevertheless, the more entertainment,<br /> the more excitement and also the<br /> more anger (for some of you) is<br /> awaiting you though...have a look !<br /> <br /> <br /> always trying to find something<br /> peculiar for the first page, here's<br /> something the scene has been waiting<br /> for since its origin...<br /> <br /> a game, a game on cartridge called<br /> 'the final chesscard', released by<br /> rushware several weeks ago is<br /> obviously the first 'non-crackable'<br /> game ever released for the c64.<br /> <br /> the cartridge, as twice as big as an<br /> action-replay cartridge, uses its own<br /> processor, scores can be saved on the<br /> cartridge by using a battery-buffer.<br /> etc<br /> <br /> other things you are able to find in<br /> this column are the common subjects,<br /> such as the opinion-poll and the<br /> first-release charts...<br /> <br /> <br /> the headliner of the month is the<br /> return of the 'legendary' conan of<br /> elite, who re-built his old group<br /> together with sting (x-enigma) and<br /> maniac (x-pandora)<br /> <br /> more detailed information to find in<br /> the news &amp;amp; gossip section...<br /> <br /> <br /> the opinion poll<br /> <br /> 'how long do you intend to stay in<br /> the c64 scene ??'<br /> <br /> 1. i'll quit soon!<br /> <br /> 2. i'll quit next year!<br /> <br /> 3. to its very end if nothing un-<br /> expected happens!<br /> <br /> 4. i don't know, maybe tomorrow,<br /> maybe never...<br /> <br /> 5. what,this is a c64 board? i wanted<br /> to call the quartex hq, c64 suxxx!<br /> <br /> option votes %<br /> <br /> 1. i'll quit soon! 4 4,4<br /> <br /> 2. i'll quit next year! 1 1,1<br /> <br /> 3. in it to its end! 48 53,9<br /> <br /> 4. who knows, maybe... 32 35,9<br /> <br /> 5. quartex hq ? 4 4,4<br /> <br /> 89 voters; the majority consists of<br /> hardliners; ca. 36% are uncertain,<br /> but don't see themselves quit in the<br /> not-too-distant future either...<br /> <br /> the first-release charts<br /> ------------------------<br /> <br /> by deciding if a ware is 100% or<br /> bugged, one party usually disagrees,<br /> impossible to satisfy everybody...<br /> <br /> so we just don't even try to...<br /> <br /> <br /> note the additional information you<br /> get about each game, if it's<br /> levelpacked, multiloader/singlefiler,<br /> amount of trainers, additional hi-<br /> scoresaver,

okey, a very little explanation...<br /> <br /> quite a lot of those games did need<br /> a fix file, a 100% version has been<br /> released afterwards. thus few groups<br /> lost points, some won points by<br /> fixing another groups' ware.<br /> <br /> remember that we treat one game as<br /> one subject. if the importer-group<br /> screws up, the euro-group loses<br /> points and the other way round.<br /> <br /> <br /> * no responsibility accepted<br /> <br /> lamer charts (americans)<br /> ------------------------<br /> last<br /> groupname points month<br />
