It is a sad but fair observation, but
even though some members of the cooper-
ation appear on THE DUNGEON, there is
not quite a spark that triggers them to
battle with releases. Signs of boredom
and weakening affection towards the im-
portance of the scene. It is yet unclear
how much the departure of CBA to the
real world will affect the group, or if
he is likely to appear once again, doing
what he has always done best - spanking
the C64. And if he insists on going to
Israel, he could at least bring the
machine along. So there.

MOLOCH who was removed from F4CG and
later on stated he left the group due
to terrible organization came to join
the cooperation and rename to ALMIGHTY.
So far, so good most people would think.
As time rolled by, ALMIGHTY got bored
with the inactivity in the group and the
fact that his two supplied titles were
taking too long to release. From a re-
built ARMAGEDDON he released his two
maintitles from his own softwarecompany
THRESHOLD PRODUCTIONS - HYPER CARS and
LAZER DUEL. BURGLAR, obviously upset
with ALMIGHTY'S behaviour, was quick to
realize none of the releases worked per-
fectly on PAL and followed up with full

versions from the cooperation. The aff-
air was pretty much discussed but later
on smoothed out. TRC*SCS have earlier
during the year also been debating with
bugseekers in ALPHA FLIGHT, over titles
like DEADLY MESSENGER and VISION.

X LACKED THE ATMOSPHERE
X97 LACKED THE ATMOSPHERE.
________________________________________
X97 was just about every commercial
success the cooperation could dream of.
Not only did they attract heaps of peo-
ple, hoast a superb competition hall and
superior organization - but where was
the atmosphere? And where were all the
people from the Commodore 64? X97 has
over the years become one of the most
hyped and talked about parties for 8-
bitters and should continue being so.

Therefore we gracefully beg the org-
anizers to head back to UTRECHT. To the
kindergarten and the hotdog-van.

WHAT AMERICAN DOMINANCE

Several people on the scene are today
negotiating with LOADSTAR concerning
sales of smaller games. The creators get
their money and the groups their re-
leases. NIGHTSHADE is probably one of
the more frequent negotiators with the
American company and at one point was
very close to become the exclusive tra-
der in Europe. If this would have come
through, TRC*SCS would easily have se-
cured a whole set of releases that reach
the market these days. I figure many
groups sigh deeply as it didn't.

THE NEW SECRET MEMBER
THE NEW SECRET MEMBER.
________________________________________
For several days the members of the co-
operation also talked much excited about
a new secret member that was going to
call out within the next few days. Dis-
cussions about who it could be started
instantly, but it appeared to be noone
else but MR.AMMO who left his friends
in TRIAD behind.

HITMEN have definately slowed down their
activities on the 64 but have become the
first group in the world to finish of an
intro for the PLAYSTATION. JIHAD, PEACE-
MAKER and CURLIN are currently hypnoti-
zed by the miracle from SONY while die
hard 8-bit fanatics are yearning for a
comeback on the machine. If MARC only

has an interest in HITMEN on the PLAY-
STATION remains to be seen but we at
PROPAGANDA welcome movement soon. LA
STYLE from GENESIS PROJECT came along
to help HITMEN out on the PC.

MOTIV8 are not in their heydays either
but have managed to appear every now on
some of the American boards. Both LARRY
and CROSSFIRE have been seen and they

are all speaking of an increased boost
in activity as for releases on the 64.

Apart for some dull releases, they also
made a try to release what they claimed
to be the full version of TRIC TRAC from
IMAGE DESIGN. F4CG firstreleased the
salesversion 1 month earlier and the
only difference was that a doc-file was
included in the MOTIV8-version - This
was not included in the offical sales-
version.

ALLMIGHTY'S (MOLOCH) to rock the ship
with the reunion of ARMAGEDDON has not
yet been too successful. The first two
titles were old titles from THRESHOLD
PRODUCTIONS - HYPERCARS and LAZER DUEL.
For all you fans of pixels, check out
the picture to HYPERCARS, which features
one of the last pictures ever drawn by
SCOPE/F4CG (R.I.P.)

We may very well be seeing the last few
days of FAIRLIGHT, the Swedish legend.
SLEDGE who is leading the group is tired
of the lack of support and devotion and
is considering to move to another
family. There is not anyone willing or
skillful enough to lead the group any

further and it is doubtful any of the
members will do anything again. BACCHUS
is coding 64-related programs for the
PC.

Is LAXITY the new breed we are waiting
for? Are they finally, after a lot of
struggling getting the attention and
success they deserve. They totally sur-
prised them all by releasing the most
recent game from MAGNAMEDIA, with fixer
help by FUNGUS from CHROMANCE. ALPHA
FLIGHT who are reliable to always re-
lease most MAGNAMEDIA-titles must have
been shocked and released a 1OO%-version
only hours later. What they didn't know,
was that DIDI had uploaded a fixfile of

33 blocks to THE DEAD ZONE minutes
earlier. Congratulations to LAXITY and
FUNGUS for a job well done!
