   One bonus point can be reached by&lt;br /&gt;
  releasing a game 1OO% (!) Pal/Ntsc.&lt;br /&gt;
If another group is involved on the fix&lt;br /&gt;
 the point will be given to the fixers!&lt;br /&gt;
 Games that got released Pal only have&lt;br /&gt;
 to be fixed within half a year else the&lt;br /&gt;
  Pal/Ntsc version won't get counted.&lt;br /&gt;

  Whenever we think somebody did some-&lt;br /&gt;
 thing special or something outstanding&lt;br /&gt;
  we will add one point to the normal&lt;br /&gt;

    one extra point for a ware which&lt;br /&gt;
  normally doesn't deserve any points!&lt;br /&gt;

We just want to point out again that all&lt;br /&gt;
games have to be in English. Graphics in&lt;br /&gt;
 a different language don't have to be&lt;br /&gt;
   changed to get the first-release.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But you can either earn extra points by&lt;br /&gt;
  doing it as well as getting a point&lt;br /&gt;
  reduction for not doing it. It just&lt;br /&gt;
  doesn't matter for the first-release&lt;br /&gt;
          but for the points!&lt;br /&gt;

  Due to the fact that the cooperation&lt;br /&gt;
  between Hardcore and Onslaught split&lt;br /&gt;
 we'll just take the points reached bz&lt;br /&gt;
 the coop and divide them to two. This&lt;br /&gt;
 means: both parties will get the same&lt;br /&gt;
 amount of points added to their normal&lt;br /&gt;
  score (the score they reached since&lt;br /&gt;
 they are working on their own again).&lt;br /&gt;

The masters of re-releases hit back once&lt;br /&gt;
again! This time with a release called&lt;br /&gt;
BOMBERMAN 90% which is the same game as&lt;br /&gt;
BOMBSQUAD, first-released and fixed by&lt;br /&gt;
Red Sector Inc. in May 1993.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ACCURACY&lt;br /&gt;
ACCURACY                      O.4 points&lt;br /&gt;
________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;
Even Accuracy entered the world of first&lt;br /&gt;
releases with 2 previews from Accuracy&lt;br /&gt;
Arts (go figure!)... MASTER TETRIS (O.3)&lt;br /&gt;
and FLAGMANIA (O.1 points). Later on&lt;br /&gt;
they released two more previews from&lt;br /&gt;
Turk Design which don't deserve any&lt;br /&gt;
points at all... SHOOT and SUPER BALL 2.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
                            ALPHA FLIGHT&lt;br /&gt;
19.2 points                 ALPHA FLIGHT&lt;br /&gt;
________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;
Are you ready for take off? AFL started&lt;br /&gt;
with 2 Pal/Ntsc releases at once... BAD&lt;br /&gt;
BALLS from S.P. (3.1 points) and SPOOK&lt;br /&gt;
100% (no points). SPOOK got released by&lt;br /&gt;
Hardcore (and fixed by Glory) way before&lt;br /&gt;
but Alpha Flight discovered that the&lt;br /&gt;
Glory fix flickers like hell on Ntsc.&lt;br /&gt;
Still AFL won't get any points for their&lt;br /&gt;
1OO% version of SPOOK as they didn't&lt;br /&gt;
release it within the limit of 6 months.&lt;br /&gt;
Now AFL hit back with some more wares...&lt;br /&gt;
DARKEST ROAD 2 (no pts/text adventure)&lt;br /&gt;
from Commodore Format followed by a GEO-&lt;br /&gt;
METRIC 2 (4.8 points). GEOMETRIC 2 got&lt;br /&gt;
released by Avantgarde before but their&lt;br /&gt;
version was Pal only. All of a sudden&lt;br /&gt;
Disaster/AFL from Russia (!) started&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
calling the American BBSes and upped two&lt;br /&gt;
re-releases for AFL namely WALKERZ PV.&lt;br /&gt;
(AVT) and BOMBERMAN PV (RSI). Still no&lt;br /&gt;
minus points will be given as Disaster&lt;br /&gt;
has been kicked out of AFL one days&lt;br /&gt;
before he upped those 2 re-releases. He&lt;br /&gt;
even confired that by posting it in&lt;br /&gt;
public (DP!). Now Alpha Flight managed&lt;br /&gt;
to release the big overdue: SWORD OF&lt;br /&gt;
HONOUR (Pal only). Unfortunately they&lt;br /&gt;
had to release a fix-file (-1 point).&lt;br /&gt;
Still they'll get 6.1 points. Next they&lt;br /&gt;
came up with CATCH IT preview (O.2 pts.)&lt;br /&gt;
followed by BLACK IT (Pal/Ntsc) @ by&lt;br /&gt;
CP-Verlag. But once again they had to&lt;br /&gt;
upload a second version (-1 point) as&lt;br /&gt;
their first version wasn't fixed 1OO%.&lt;br /&gt;
That makes 3.O points for BLACK IT. Now&lt;br /&gt;
they released a fine tool (no points)&lt;br /&gt;
called SOFTSPRITE EDITOR followed by&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CROSSES &amp;amp;amp; CIRCLES (+fix) from Upscene&lt;br /&gt;
Productions @ CP-Verlag (3.3 points).&lt;br /&gt;
AFL's next target was the nice game&lt;br /&gt;
PARTY QUEST @ by Magna Media (4.7 pts).&lt;br /&gt;
PARTY QUEST didn't need a fix and as AFL&lt;br /&gt;
translated the entire text to English we&lt;br /&gt;
gave them +1 point for their hard work.&lt;br /&gt;
As next we got COLONIAL TRADER of which&lt;br /&gt;
AFL claimed that it would be the 1OO%&lt;br /&gt;
version of the game but later on it&lt;br /&gt;
turned out to be a second preview only.&lt;br /&gt;
COLONIAL TRADER PREVIEW from Vislogic &amp;amp;amp;&lt;br /&gt;
Cascade gets AFL O.5 points whilst&lt;br /&gt;
HANGMAN (+fix) from Sectech Designs gets&lt;br /&gt;
3.1 points. Now AFL didn't pay attention&lt;br /&gt;
well enough an 'landed' their first re-&lt;br /&gt;
re-release (Accept already re-released&lt;br /&gt;
it before) with the Pal only version of&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SLATERMAN (-14 points). A few days later&lt;br /&gt;
they released a Ntsc fixed version of&lt;br /&gt;
SLATERMAN but unfortunately they didn't&lt;br /&gt;
put it out within the six months limit&lt;br /&gt;
(=no points). As next Ignorance provided&lt;br /&gt;
the scene with ZIP COLLECTION V2 (tool).&lt;br /&gt;
This actually is a strange release as&lt;br /&gt;
this tool is YEARS old and I personally&lt;br /&gt;
don't see any need to release something&lt;br /&gt;
like that with an AFL intro infront of&lt;br /&gt;
it again. Whatever! Now we got SHA-JONGG&lt;br /&gt;
@ by Magna Media (4.2 pts) which didn't&lt;br /&gt;
need a fix at. AFL got 1 extra point&lt;br /&gt;
added to the normal score as they did a&lt;br /&gt;
hell of a job by translating the game to&lt;br /&gt;
English. As next we have seen a release&lt;br /&gt;
that caused some trouble again due to&lt;br /&gt;
different groups releasing it claiming&lt;br /&gt;
aall their versions would be the one and&lt;br /&gt;
only 1OO% versions. In the end AFL just&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
released a fix file to their version to&lt;br /&gt;
make their earlier version work 1OO% Pal&lt;br /&gt;
and Ntsc (-1 point). Still they'll get&lt;br /&gt;
3.6 points for LEPPARD from Miracle Des.&lt;br /&gt;
@ by CP-Verlag. Now AFL put out a game&lt;br /&gt;
called FAST BALL (+fix) @ by Loadstar&lt;br /&gt;
(3.4 points) followed by DREAM preview.&lt;br /&gt;
Chromance released the same preview at&lt;br /&gt;
the same time. Points will be shared&lt;br /&gt;
which means both AFL and Chromance will&lt;br /&gt;
get O.2 points. Too bad for the Flight&lt;br /&gt;
that they did a re-release in the end...&lt;br /&gt;
SUPER PAC BALL preview already got put&lt;br /&gt;
out by Onslaught way before (-7.O pts).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ATLANTIS&lt;br /&gt;
ATLANTIS                      2.9 points&lt;br /&gt;
________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;
A rather nice period for Atlantis this&lt;br /&gt;
time. They managed to release 2 previews&lt;br /&gt;
from Cascade namely: STARBLAST (O.1 pts)&lt;br /&gt;
and COLONIAL TRADER (O.3 ppoints). Next&lt;br /&gt;
the released a game in coop with AVT...&lt;br /&gt;
NONSENSE from FLP Group (2.O). Last but&lt;br /&gt;
not least they hit back with two more&lt;br /&gt;
previews: STAR SCAPER from Tectron (O.4)&lt;br /&gt;
and CF ADVENTURE (O.1 points). CF ADV.&lt;br /&gt;
didn't get a higher score as the preview&lt;br /&gt;
wasn't playable and as it was still in&lt;br /&gt;
German.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
                              AVANTGARDE&lt;br /&gt;
57.2 points                   AVANTGARDE&lt;br /&gt;
________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;
They started off with a neat preview&lt;br /&gt;
called WALKERZ from New Entry @ by EBES&lt;br /&gt;
(O.7 points). Finally Suicide managed to&lt;br /&gt;
release a 1OO% Pal and Ntsc version of&lt;br /&gt;
the German budget game FLUMMI'S WORLD&lt;br /&gt;
from Substance. AVT gets 7.O points for&lt;br /&gt;
their great release. Furthermore Suicide&lt;br /&gt;
of Avantgarde also managed to Ntsc-fix&lt;br /&gt;
the 59 Prods intro which makes 2 more&lt;br /&gt;
first releases for AVT... POZITRONIC&lt;br /&gt;
(4.5 points/Pal-first by Palace) and&lt;br /&gt;
PRA-SE (4.6 points/Pal-first by AFL). As&lt;br /&gt;
next the guys in AVT managed to release&lt;br /&gt;
the first 1OO% Pal/Ntsc version of the&lt;br /&gt;
Hungarian fullpricer called LONG LIFE @&lt;br /&gt;
by 576 KByte (9.O points). Shortly after&lt;br /&gt;
that release they hit back with a small&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
preview called ORACLE 3 - THE FINAL&lt;br /&gt;
CHAPTER from APS (O.2 points) followed&lt;br /&gt;
by COLOURATION (+fix) from XL.C.US and @&lt;br /&gt;
by Commodore Format (3.7 points). And&lt;br /&gt;
yet once again AVT were the only ones&lt;br /&gt;
to release a proper version of THE HOUSE&lt;br /&gt;
from Expression and @ by CP-Verlag. Even&lt;br /&gt;
when they had to release a fix file (-1)&lt;br /&gt;
they'll still get 3.7 pts for THE HOUSE.&lt;br /&gt;
Now Avantgarde released a small game&lt;br /&gt;
called NONSENSE in coop with Atlantis.&lt;br /&gt;
Points will be shared which means that&lt;br /&gt;
both AVT and ATL get 2.O points. Now&lt;br /&gt;
CAPTURE (+fix) from XL.C.US copyright by&lt;br /&gt;
Commodore Format saw the light of day&lt;br /&gt;
(3.7 pts.) followed by the 1OO% version&lt;br /&gt;
of IKKIUCHI (+fix) from Digital Excess @&lt;br /&gt;
by CP-Verlag (4.6 points). Next targets&lt;br /&gt;
were GUESSER (Pal/Ntsc) from Lepsi Dev.&lt;br /&gt;
@ by CP-Verlag (2.4 points) and two&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
previews from XL.C.US called TWIN BALLS&lt;br /&gt;
(O.4 points) and CAPTURE 2 (O.2 points).&lt;br /&gt;
Due to Deff's holidays AVT got beat on&lt;br /&gt;
two CP-Verlag games namely ARTRIS from&lt;br /&gt;
Color 7 and MYSTERY. As Alpha Flight's&lt;br /&gt;
fix on ARTRIS wasn't 1OO%, AVT simply&lt;br /&gt;
released the 1OO% version (4.3 points).&lt;br /&gt;
AFL also released MYSTERY Pal only and&lt;br /&gt;
Suicide simply Ntsc fixed the bitch and&lt;br /&gt;
another 4.8 points must be given to AVT.&lt;br /&gt;
Now Avantgarde brought you the game that&lt;br /&gt;
everybody was waiting for: WALKERZ from&lt;br /&gt;
New Entry @ by EBES (7.O pts). Onslaught&lt;br /&gt;
released a so-called 'fixed' version&lt;br /&gt;
before but their Pal/Ntsc version just&lt;br /&gt;
turned out to be the Pal only version.&lt;br /&gt;
WALKERZ gets 7.O points as it's neither&lt;br /&gt;
a budget game nor a full pricer. With&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 Pounds it's something inbetween, a&lt;br /&gt;
mid-pricer. All of a sudden AVT put out&lt;br /&gt;
a game called RELAX from Electric Brains&lt;br /&gt;
which turned out to be AVT's first re-&lt;br /&gt;
release as the game already got released&lt;br /&gt;
by TRC+EMP in 1992 (-7.O points). Now&lt;br /&gt;
Avantgarde fixed a game called SILVA POD&lt;br /&gt;
from Shikwave @ by CP-Verlag for the&lt;br /&gt;
guys in Hardcore (one point/fix). Last&lt;br /&gt;
but not least Avantgarde came up with a&lt;br /&gt;
small preview called MORTAL DOGFIGHT&lt;br /&gt;
(O.4 points).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CHROMANCE&lt;br /&gt;
CHROMANCE                    26.O points&lt;br /&gt;
________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;
Chromance just managed to release a so-&lt;br /&gt;
called 1OO% version of BLACK QUIZ but&lt;br /&gt;
infact the earlier version released by&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TRC+SCS already satisfied everybody.&lt;br /&gt;
That's why the &amp;amp;lt;C&amp;amp;gt; version won't get any&lt;br /&gt;
points. The next ware put out by &amp;amp;lt;C&amp;amp;gt; was&lt;br /&gt;
a tool called HARDTRACK COMPOSER V1 from&lt;br /&gt;
Inflexion Development and @ by Tim Soft&lt;br /&gt;
followed by TETRISACK (+fx) from Stratos&lt;br /&gt;
(4.1 points). Now the Hungarian posse&lt;br /&gt;
released 2 previews called VIRTUS (O.4)&lt;br /&gt;
from Art Game and LACED TILES (O.9 pts.)&lt;br /&gt;
from Exile Productions followed by a&lt;br /&gt;
ware called ABNORMAL FACTOR from Therapy&lt;br /&gt;
(3.4 points). We count this version as a&lt;br /&gt;
Pal release only even when they say they&lt;br /&gt;
fixed the game. That's not true as they&lt;br /&gt;
didn't fix the scroll in the border. The&lt;br /&gt;
last 2 titles put out by them were GAME&lt;br /&gt;
EDITOR + CONVERTOR (tool) and BREAK IT&lt;br /&gt;
(+fix) from Oreal. We all know that&lt;br /&gt;
Steve once released this game before but&lt;br /&gt;
the version he released under TRC+SCS&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
didn't include the Oreal intro. That's&lt;br /&gt;
why it's no re-release. Chromance gets&lt;br /&gt;
3.1 points for their 1OO% version. Now&lt;br /&gt;
the Hungarian posse came up with a&lt;br /&gt;
budget game called ANGEL OF HELL @ by&lt;br /&gt;
Oliver Software (6.1 points). This&lt;br /&gt;
score features a bonus of one point as&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;amp;lt;C&amp;amp;gt; has re-drawn the main picture! At&lt;br /&gt;
last &amp;amp;lt;C&amp;amp;gt; provided us with DUNGEON MASTER&lt;br /&gt;
preview (O.4 points) and VIDEO MEANIES&lt;br /&gt;
(3.O points). VIDEO MEANIES is @ by&lt;br /&gt;
Mastertronic and is originally a game&lt;br /&gt;
from the C= Plus 4. Dale of Exile just&lt;br /&gt;
converted the game from the C= Plus 4 to&lt;br /&gt;
the C=64 so it's obvious that it's a&lt;br /&gt;
Public Domain game (2.O points). As &amp;amp;lt;C&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
fixed the game one point will be added.&lt;br /&gt;
At last they released DREAM preview and&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
they will share the points with AFL (see&lt;br /&gt;
above!)... O.2 points! Damn, I nearly&lt;br /&gt;
forgot BRAIN DISASE 2 - THE RETURN from&lt;br /&gt;
One Minute Artworks/Art Game (3.4 pts).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
                                    F CG&lt;br /&gt;
21.O points                         F4CG&lt;br /&gt;
________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;
F4CG started with a small preview called&lt;br /&gt;
MYSTERY (O.4 pts). We know that several&lt;br /&gt;
previews with the same name have been&lt;br /&gt;
released before (e.g. by RSI &amp;amp;amp; AVT) but&lt;br /&gt;
this infact is a different game. Now&lt;br /&gt;
they released 2 games which didn't need&lt;br /&gt;
a Ntsc-fix at all: OMNIBUS (2.1 points)&lt;br /&gt;
and ABC-PUZZLE from Biuro Informatyczno&lt;br /&gt;
Wydawnicze (2.1 points) followed by&lt;br /&gt;
CASTLE (Ntsc-fixed by Cerebus/F4CG) from&lt;br /&gt;
Marex (4.O points). Now F4CG provided us&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
with SOKOBAN PREVIEW (O.2 points) from&lt;br /&gt;
Kolegaasada Soft. This actually is not&lt;br /&gt;
the old SOKOBAN from 1984 by Spectrum&lt;br /&gt;
Holo Byte @ ASCII Corp. It's just the&lt;br /&gt;
same game idea and the same game name.&lt;br /&gt;
Now F4CG provided us with two previews&lt;br /&gt;
called PORTAL (O.5 points) and SAPER&lt;br /&gt;
(O.4 points). Even by writing &amp;quot;Saper&lt;br /&gt;
preview... released on request of Deff&lt;br /&gt;
coz he loves Minefiled clones!&amp;quot; won't&lt;br /&gt;
allow me to give F4CG more than O.4 pts&lt;br /&gt;
for this preview! 8-) As next we got&lt;br /&gt;
KOLKO which didn't need a Ntsc fix. This&lt;br /&gt;
release will get 1.6 pts. only. We gave&lt;br /&gt;
them -O.5 pts. as the graphics are still&lt;br /&gt;
in Polish. Well, F4CG now released two&lt;br /&gt;
more Polish games called MONSTRUM (+fix)&lt;br /&gt;
from Mirage Soft (3.9 points) and DEADLY&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CRYSTAL by Biuro Infomatyczno Wydawnicze&lt;br /&gt;
(2.1 points/game didn't need a Ntsc fix)&lt;br /&gt;
followed by LAZERTECH (2.4 points) copy-&lt;br /&gt;
right by Loadstar (didn't need a Pal fx)&lt;br /&gt;
and PLUFF preview from Asphyxia (O.6 p.)&lt;br /&gt;
Now F4CG supplied us with 2 more prev's&lt;br /&gt;
called LOST @ by Loadstar (O.3 points)&lt;br /&gt;
and BODEGA EJNAR (O.4 points). BODEGA&lt;br /&gt;
EJNAR normally deserves more points in&lt;br /&gt;
my eyes but the preview flickers like&lt;br /&gt;
hell and also the screen turns black if&lt;br /&gt;
you lose one life. In the end they came&lt;br /&gt;
up with a handy tool called DRAZPAINT V2&lt;br /&gt;
(tools=no points) and a small game named&lt;br /&gt;
TRENER. TRENER won't get any points as&lt;br /&gt;
the game is compiled Basic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
FORTRESS&lt;br /&gt;
FORTRESS                      O.1 points&lt;br /&gt;
________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;
For the very first time this rather un-&lt;br /&gt;
known group managed to first-release&lt;br /&gt;
something, a preview of a game (?) named&lt;br /&gt;
S.P.I.X. (O.1 points). Normally a prev.&lt;br /&gt;
like this doesn't even deserve O.1 pts.&lt;br /&gt;
but as it was their first attempt to&lt;br /&gt;
enter the world of first-releases we&lt;br /&gt;
give them O.1 points anyway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
HARDCORE&lt;br /&gt;
HARDCORE          3.5 + 5.7 = 9.2 points&lt;br /&gt;
________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;
Being solo again they only managed to&lt;br /&gt;
release SILVA POD from Shikwave @ by&lt;br /&gt;
CP-Verlag. Pal points go to Hardcore&lt;br /&gt;
(3.5) whilst Avantgarde gets one point&lt;br /&gt;
for the Ntsc fix of SILVA POD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
                                  HITMEN&lt;br /&gt;
4.4 points                        HITMEN&lt;br /&gt;
________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;
Hitmen is just once again back in bizz&lt;br /&gt;
and they surprised everybody with a nice&lt;br /&gt;
comeback release from Electric Brains &amp;amp;amp;&lt;br /&gt;
New Entry called CANNON CRAZE preview&lt;br /&gt;
(O.8 points). Just to let you know...&lt;br /&gt;
CANNON CRAZE is the same game as BASE&lt;br /&gt;
ATTACK of which TRC+SCS put out a first&lt;br /&gt;
preview some time ago. Whatever... next&lt;br /&gt;
the guys in Hitmen released CROSS IT&lt;br /&gt;
preview from Direct Designs (O.3 pts.)&lt;br /&gt;
followed by 2 Ntsc fixes for Onslaught:&lt;br /&gt;
AMNESIA from Twice Effect (1.O point)&lt;br /&gt;
and SHATTERLANDS 100% (1.O point). Last&lt;br /&gt;
but not lest Hitmen fixed a game for&lt;br /&gt;
TRC+SCS called FUN DUEL (1 p.) followed&lt;br /&gt;
by THC BROS. preview which actually&lt;br /&gt;
flickers like hell (O.3 points).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MOTIV&lt;br /&gt;
MOTIV8                        2.7 points&lt;br /&gt;
________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;
Motiv8 started with 3 previews from&lt;br /&gt;
NOGAMAS... SKYT (O.1 points), BOUNCY&lt;br /&gt;
(O.1 points) and OOPS V.2 (O.1 points).&lt;br /&gt;
OOPS is already the 2nd preview of this&lt;br /&gt;
game. Also the first preview has been&lt;br /&gt;
released by M8 and the only difference&lt;br /&gt;
compared to the earlier version is the&lt;br /&gt;
small game-intro. Now the guys in M8&lt;br /&gt;
released the worst production from&lt;br /&gt;
CP-Verlag ever... MINITRON V1.1 from The&lt;br /&gt;
OWL's (1.1 pts). Even the game-intro of&lt;br /&gt;
this crap was done by using the Magic&lt;br /&gt;
Disc Intromaker. That's the reason for&lt;br /&gt;
the one point reduction. I can hardly&lt;br /&gt;
understand how somebody dares to put out&lt;br /&gt;
a piece of crap like this under their&lt;br /&gt;
'normal' lable instead of their below&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
budget lable. Whatever... Next M8 pro-&lt;br /&gt;
vided us with 5 tool (5 times no points)&lt;br /&gt;
C4MRP COMPRESSOR V3.0, DARK SQUEEZE 3.1,&lt;br /&gt;
ICEWRITER 4.9, ICEWRITER LIGHT and a&lt;br /&gt;
patch file to DMC 5.1! Now M8 supplied&lt;br /&gt;
us with a small preview called WONKY&lt;br /&gt;
WORMS from Image Design (O.3 points).&lt;br /&gt;
Next M8 put out 1O (TEN!) releases but&lt;br /&gt;
unfortunately all (!) of those releases&lt;br /&gt;
don't even deserve one single point all&lt;br /&gt;
in all... THE MATRIX CROWN @ Logyk Soft&lt;br /&gt;
(text adventure=no points), TEMPORAL @&lt;br /&gt;
The Guild Software (text adventure=O.O),&lt;br /&gt;
MEAN MINES PREVIEW from Solaric Games&lt;br /&gt;
(didn't even deserve O.1 points) and&lt;br /&gt;
THE PROFESSIONAL SPEEDWAY MANAGER @ ET&lt;br /&gt;
Software (compiled Basic=no points).&lt;br /&gt;
The above mentioned game looks nearly&lt;br /&gt;
exactly like the game &amp;quot;4 TEAM SPEEDWAY&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
which got first released by Deadline&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
long long ago but according to Crossfire&lt;br /&gt;
(quote X-Fire) &amp;quot;PROFESSIONAL SPEEDWAY&lt;br /&gt;
MANAGER is no re-release but an updated&lt;br /&gt;
version of an old game!&amp;quot;. Whatever...&lt;br /&gt;
To complete the list of those glory 1O&lt;br /&gt;
games we have to add the following...&lt;br /&gt;
PUZZLE RAGE, QUIZMEISTER, COLLINS,&lt;br /&gt;
CRYPTOQUAD and STOREHOUSE. All of those&lt;br /&gt;
games are @ by Loadstar and all of them&lt;br /&gt;
are in Basic (=no points). The 1Oth game&lt;br /&gt;
is DAMSELS IN DISTRESS 2 from Real Frank&lt;br /&gt;
Productions @ by The Guild Software. It&lt;br /&gt;
actually is a text-adventure so no pts.&lt;br /&gt;
will be give! The last game put out by&lt;br /&gt;
them was a Basic game called JIGSTAR @&lt;br /&gt;
by Loadstar. Even when it's in Basic we&lt;br /&gt;
will give the game 1.O point for 'some-&lt;br /&gt;
thing special'!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
                                 NEMESIS&lt;br /&gt;
-7.O                             NEMESIS&lt;br /&gt;
________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;
This new group surprised everybody with&lt;br /&gt;
a game called DUCK PARK (Pal only) which&lt;br /&gt;
later on turned out to be GUN DOGS from&lt;br /&gt;
1984 (cracked by Antisoft). After this&lt;br /&gt;
rather bad start Nemesis died and&lt;br /&gt;
continued as Pandora again!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ONSLAUGHT&lt;br /&gt;
ONSLAUGHT        7.6 + 5.7 = 16.9 points&lt;br /&gt;
________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;
Onslaught being solo again managed to&lt;br /&gt;
put out a nice amount of wares. They&lt;br /&gt;
started with 4 previews... GENOCIDE from&lt;br /&gt;
Lightside (O.4 points), FLASHBACK (O.2),&lt;br /&gt;
CYBERWING from Bigtime Software (O.6),&lt;br /&gt;
ICE TEA from Century Art-Studios (O.7)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(which reminds me of good old Hat Trick)&lt;br /&gt;
and SUPER PAC TWINS (O.7 points) @ by&lt;br /&gt;
Commodore Format. Now Onslaught managed&lt;br /&gt;
to get their hands on AMNESIA which is&lt;br /&gt;
supposed to be a Twice Effect game.&lt;br /&gt;
According to Twice Effect the last word&lt;br /&gt;
on that strange release is not spoke yet&lt;br /&gt;
but future will surely tell us all.&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile Onslaught gets 5.O points for&lt;br /&gt;
AMNESIA whilst Hitmen gets 1 point for&lt;br /&gt;
Ntsc fixing the game. Ooops, nearly&lt;br /&gt;
forgot SHATTERLANDS 100% (3.6 points).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
                      ONSLAUGHT HARDCORE&lt;br /&gt;
11.3 points           ONSLAUGHT+HARDCORE&lt;br /&gt;
________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;
The first ware put out by them was a&lt;br /&gt;
small preview called REMEMBER (O.1 pts).&lt;br /&gt;
This game is not the same REMEMBER which&lt;br /&gt;
already got released by Riff Raffs long&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ago but infact it looks quite the same!&lt;br /&gt;
To be honest the arrows got ripped from&lt;br /&gt;
the first REMEMBER game. Now the coop&lt;br /&gt;
hit back with 5 more previews: RAINBOW&lt;br /&gt;
BOMB (O.2 points), MARC IN WONDERLAND&lt;br /&gt;
(O.1 points), BILBO from Yellow Byte Inc&lt;br /&gt;
(O.1 points), SILVA POD from Shitwave&lt;br /&gt;
(O.6 points) and DELUXE STRIP POKER from&lt;br /&gt;
New Entry (O.2 points). As next HCON&lt;br /&gt;
released an American budget game called&lt;br /&gt;
THE EVIL PRINCE @ by Treshold Production&lt;br /&gt;
and Thunder Team. They had to release a&lt;br /&gt;
fix file to make their version work 1OO%&lt;br /&gt;
but still they get 5 points. Now HCON&lt;br /&gt;
came up with a release that caused some&lt;br /&gt;
trouble. Their version of DANGER BALL&lt;br /&gt;
is Pal only (Yes, it needs a Ntsc fix!)&lt;br /&gt;
whilst Chromance released a so-called&lt;br /&gt;
fixed version but the &amp;amp;lt;C&amp;amp;gt; version crashs&lt;br /&gt;
ofter the game intro (on Ntsc). Afterall&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
HC+ONS will get the Pal points unless&lt;br /&gt;
somebody cares to fix this P.D. game.&lt;br /&gt;
Some say it's no P.D. but if I have a&lt;br /&gt;
look at the note from the makers in-&lt;br /&gt;
cluded on the game it's obvious it's PD!&lt;br /&gt;
Let's quote them &amp;quot;This is no official&lt;br /&gt;
C=64 game!&amp;quot; That and the quality of the&lt;br /&gt;
game speaks for itself (1 point). The&lt;br /&gt;
last two releases done by the coop were&lt;br /&gt;
WARFLAME @ by Bigtime Software (3.6 pts/&lt;br /&gt;
didn't need a Ntsc fix) and TROOZE prev.&lt;br /&gt;
(O.4 points). Please note that TRC+SCS&lt;br /&gt;
released a pv of WARFLAME in Jan. 1994.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
PANDORA&lt;br /&gt;
PANDORA                      -5.8 points&lt;br /&gt;
________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;
The just re-build Pandora had their&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
comeback with TANIS PREVIEW from Byte&lt;br /&gt;
Brothers (O.2 points) followed by&lt;br /&gt;
THORION (Pal only) @ by Logo Software.&lt;br /&gt;
As THORION is a game it normally doesn't&lt;br /&gt;
deserve any points but as there was a&lt;br /&gt;
small m/l intro infront of the game we&lt;br /&gt;
will give Pandora one point anyway. Now&lt;br /&gt;
Pandora released FOOTBALL MANAGER'95&lt;br /&gt;
featuring a bad translation. As Basic&lt;br /&gt;
games don't get points anyway we can't&lt;br /&gt;
decrease their score due to a bad&lt;br /&gt;
translation. Their last release turned&lt;br /&gt;
out to be a re-release. They put out&lt;br /&gt;
TILE REVENGE @ by Explosive Design which&lt;br /&gt;
is the sane as MAGIC TILE @ by Kingsoft.&lt;br /&gt;
MAGIC TILE already got released by&lt;br /&gt;
Lutschers years ago. Afterall Pandora&lt;br /&gt;
gets -7 points for their re-release.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
                                 TRC SCS&lt;br /&gt;
14.4 points                      TRC+SCS&lt;br /&gt;
________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;
The coop started with a game called&lt;br /&gt;
KACPER from Vermes/Marex. We won't count&lt;br /&gt;
this release as KACPER is the same game&lt;br /&gt;
as KULFON released way before. The only&lt;br /&gt;
difference is a different name and some&lt;br /&gt;
small improvements gfx-wise. As TRC+SCS&lt;br /&gt;
released KACPER in Polish it doesn't&lt;br /&gt;
count point-wise anyway. Next they came&lt;br /&gt;
up with a fine tool (no points) called&lt;br /&gt;
TASM V5.6X followed by a huge (2 sides)&lt;br /&gt;
preview of CASTLE @ by 576 KByte. Please&lt;br /&gt;
note that this game is not the same one&lt;br /&gt;
F4CG released. Too bad that this preview&lt;br /&gt;
was only in Hungarian language: O.5 pts.&lt;br /&gt;
And again the ruling coop brought us&lt;br /&gt;
another preview called BRAVE copyright&lt;br /&gt;
by CP-Verlag (O.6 point) followed by the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the Ntsc fixed SHAMAN (5.O points). Now&lt;br /&gt;
they came up with a small game called&lt;br /&gt;
LOGIC (+fix) from Villains (3.4 points)&lt;br /&gt;
followed by 7 previews... TWIN TERRORS&lt;br /&gt;
V2 (O.4 points) from Cloak and Dagger&lt;br /&gt;
Designs, FASTBALL (O.4 points) from&lt;br /&gt;
Paranormal Activities @ by Loadstar,&lt;br /&gt;
SHOPPING AG @ by CP-Verlag (O.O points)&lt;br /&gt;
and MAGIC FORMULA (O.8 points) from&lt;br /&gt;
Electric Brains and New Entry, BOMBEL&lt;br /&gt;
(O.1 point), CELTIX from 59 Productions&lt;br /&gt;
(O.6 points) and MAYHEM from Digital&lt;br /&gt;
Expressions (O.2/unplayable). SHOPPING&lt;br /&gt;
AG didn't even deserve O.1 point. The&lt;br /&gt;
game (preview) is in Basic and also&lt;br /&gt;
TRC+SCS didn't bother to translate the&lt;br /&gt;
German text to English. To end TRC+SCS's&lt;br /&gt;
list we have to mention FUN DUEL from&lt;br /&gt;
Neoplasia/Weissenfels Section @ by&lt;br /&gt;
CP-Verlag (2.4 points).&lt;br /&gt;

 We didn't count the release of NUTS -&lt;br /&gt;
IN THE WORLD OF FANTASY at all as Gulas&lt;br /&gt;
released the Pal only version long long&lt;br /&gt;
 ago%$)4/2 6RMPOhromance put out a Pal&lt;br /&gt;
and Ntsc version (fixed by TRC+SCS) and&lt;br /&gt;
  yet later on Alpha Flight released a&lt;br /&gt;
so-called 1OO% version. All this hassle&lt;br /&gt;
 is good for nothing as nobody released&lt;br /&gt;
the Pal/Ntsc version within half a year&lt;br /&gt;
 after Gulas released its Pal version.&lt;br /&gt;
