  hello...
+
              the charts
 +
            ------------
  
   guess what...it is christmas-time,
+
   hello !!!
  the time with the most originals
+
   let me start with this :
  coming out !!!
+
   at least it used to be this way in
+
  former years, but see for yourself...
+
  
   further we got again some game-tests,
+
   did you know that still 80% of the
   press '+' for more...
+
  incoming votes are invalid, because
 +
   80% seem to be too stupid to
 +
  understand how to vote. (now i know
 +
  why kohl won)
 +
  check the last issue (#13) for a
 +
  detailed 'how-to-do-it' pattern !!

  ok, so far the monthly charts...
            --------------
+
  we dropped the most hated/most liked
 +
  charts, as most of the guys have
 +
  to think several minutes about that
 +
  kind of charts to gather 5 dudes...
  
  the game consists of 6 levels, each
+
  places 2-5 usually aren't really
  containing a lot of enemies to kill
+
  hated or liked by the voters...
  by shooting everything.
+
  the sales curve's latest production
+
  contains partly average graphics,
+
  except the levels and sprites itself,
+
  an average sound, but nice special
+
  effects, a two-player-modus and more.
+
  gathering weapons is possible...
+
  
                      valuation : 73%
 
  
  
 +
  go on for more...
  
        fire &amp; forget ii - titus
 
  
  the 1st part has never been produced,
 
  but considering that the successor is
 
  usually said to be better than its
 
  predecessor, we do better without it.
 
  
  the game is a car-racing game with
 
  the only difference that you have to
 
  shoot your opponents and the
 
  hindrances. after you made enough
 
  speed you can take off and also shoot
 
  the flying circus around yourself.
 
  graphics, music, fun etc are low !!

  cosmail by cd and black mail wasn't
 +
  the expected success, but the demo
 +
  contained some quite nice graphics
 +
  by di-art and a new sprite-record
 +
  by who else...mc sprite (118).
 +
  cosmail also contains some great
 +
  exclusive tunes, further some average
 +
  coding skill was shown.
 +
  maybe black mail wants to keep the

the triumwyrat demo was surprising !!
 +
not because of the graphics or
 +
brilliant coding, but because of
 +
really nice ideas !
 +
 
 +
vector scrollers, animated vector
 +
graphics and a cool raster-trick
 +
see that the entertaiment never falls.

further the 6 parts contained average

  digital excess, made for the asm-
 +
  democompetition, is the best demo
 +
  this month ! although the idea of
 +
  this demo is old (bonzied), it is
 +
  composed of great ideas, cool
 +
  graphics and a nice sound.
 +
  it contains only 1 part + 1 intro !
 +
  many pictures, sprites etc. change
 +
  in the rythm of the music, like a

  video-clip, just a bit faster! great!

  it contains 3 parts! the first part
 +
  (intro) contains a nice picture and
 +
  an flt-sound remix(dm dm dm...dm d d
 +
  dm, you know), the second part an
 +
  interesting scroller and the last

  part a flexable scroller and an

  hello !!!
  let me start with this :

  did you know that still 80% of the
  incoming votes are invalid, because
  80% seem to be too stupid to
  understand how to vote. (now i know
  why kohl won)
  check the last issue (#13) for a
  detailed 'how-to-do-it' pattern !!

   ok, so far the monthly charts...
   we dropped the most hated/most liked
   charts, as most of the guys have
   to think several minutes about that
   kind of charts to gather 5 dudes...

   places 2-5 usually aren't really
   hated or liked by the voters...



   go on for more...




            the demo reviews
           ------------------

  only a few demos were sent in this
  time, we got the new blackmail &
  cosmos designs cooperation demo,
  big fun 3 by triumwyrat, digital
  excess and a fairlight production.

  if you want to have your demo
  reviewed here at this place just send
  it to the mamba box !!



                                    (+)

  cosmail by cd and black mail wasn't
  the expected success, but the demo
  contained some quite nice graphics
  by di-art and a new sprite-record
  by who else...mc sprite (118).
  cosmail also contains some great

 the triumwyrat demo was surprising !!
 not because of the graphics or
 brilliant coding, but because of
 really nice ideas !

 vector scrollers, animated vector
 graphics and a cool raster-trick
 see that the entertaiment never falls.

 further the 6 parts contained average
 graphics and music.

  digital excess, made for the asm-
  democompetition, is the best demo
  this month ! although the idea of
  this demo is old (bonzied), it is
  composed of great ideas, cool
  graphics and a nice sound.
  it contains only 1 part + 1 intro !
  many pictures, sprites etc. change
  in the rythm of the music, like a
  video-clip, just a bit faster! great!

  the last demo comes from fairlight,
  it contains 3 parts! the first part
  (intro) contains a nice picture and
  an flt-sound remix(dm dm dm...dm d d
  dm, you know), the second part an
  interesting scroller and the last
  part a flexable scroller and an
  average logo ! on the whole it
  contains no special ideas or skills,
  but it's kinda entertainment though.
