,,,,,,,,,,,

Oke' so here we are again with the
"About..."-chapter which our magazine
features every time.
This time we have a rather commercial
topic.
We hope you will enjoy reading it and I
hope it will help sceners to remind
that there [still] is a legal C64 market
and that this scene is not only about
cracked games.

The chapter was written by another guest
editor named "Peter Staaks" aka Nuke/M8.
But he'll tell you all you need to know
ABOUT his game-label himself....

Hello, my name is Peter Staaks and I run
the Dutch C64 software company Eagleware
International Productions. In this
chapter you can read something about the
past but more important is what's
happening nowadays and what are our
future plans!!!

Eagleware International Production (EIP)
started with selling games like
Confusing Quest, Confusing Quesy 2 1/2
and Stars & Rings Deluxe. These games
were designed my me using Gamemaker from
Activision. The results were mixed. Some
people liked them and some hated them.
Many magazines wrote bad things about
them (and some of that was true) and
after careful consideration I decided to
withdraw them from the catalogue. The
first real programmed games we released
were Fields (by Funeral Moon) and Dumi
(by CommoBam). These two games were nice
games, but puzzlers like many others
around. The sales weren't excellent, but
I guess this is normal with puzzlers. I
reckon most people have all kind of
puzzlers in their diskboxes! Therefore
Eagleware is looking for something new,
new arcade games and perhaps special
puzzlers! We found some great teams and
they sold their games to us! I will talk
about all our games available and I'm
starting with our first releases and
later on in this chapter news on our new
papermagazinE COMMODORE TRIBUNE:
              ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

DUMI:
DUMI:
,,,,,

      This game, as mentioned before,
      was designed by Imaic from
      Commobam. I personally like this
      game as it's a logical game with
      great graphics and nice music.
      The best rating was from Commodore
      Manai (UK) and they gave is 93%..
      Price: US$ 8
      ,,,,,,,,,,,,


FIELDS:
FIELDS:
,,,,,,,

      A connect 4 clone. Get 4 blocks in
      a row and try and beat the
      opponent. This game can be played
      against the computer or with two
      players. The game contains
      excellent graphics and also great
      music. I'm not a big fan of this
      game, but playing with two player
      makes it big fun! Commodore Action
      raring was 78%...
      PRICE: us$ 10
      ,,,,,,,,,,,,,



INSAAITY:
INSANITY:
,,,,,,,,,

      A simple puzzle game designed by
      Ewen Gillies. It's a May Jong game
      with simple graphics. If you like
      these kind of game the get a copy!
      PRICE: US$ 8
      ,,,,,,,,,,,,



LOADSTAR ARCADE PACK:
LOADSTAR ARCADE PACK:
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

      An Arcade games compilation by
      Loadstar. It contains three games
      and the looks are basic. These
      games are extremely playable and
      reminds me of the simple, but
      addictive games like dropzone...
      PRICE: US$ 10
      ,,,,,,,,,,,,,



LOADSTAR PUZZLER PACK:
LOADSTAR PUZZLER PACH:
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

      A puzzler games complicaton also
      by Loadstar. It contains three
      nice and addictive puzzlers and
      again the looks are nothing
      special but very playable!
      PRICE: US$ 10
      ,,,,,,,,,,,,,




MCRAT/THE ZINJ COMPLEX:
MCRAT/THE ZINJ COMPLEX:
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

      This compilation can also be
      bought at the address of CRYSTAL
      SOFTWARE, but we also sell it in
      countries like USA and Australia.
      Two re-releases and programmed by
      Michael Svendsen. I really don't
      like them...
      PRICE: US$ 12
      ,,,,,,,,,,,,,



Okay... these games were already in our
catalogue and let's continue with our
new releases...




CASTLE OF KRAIZAR:
CASTLE OF KRAIZAR:
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

      This game is actually a re-release
      but has never been sold in Europe
      or Australia (where Eagleware
      sells it!) It's a great adventure
      designed by John Green from the
      States. There is also a big
      instructions file with it as the
      game is not easy to play...
      PRICE: US$ 12
      ,,,,,,,,,,,,,




EROTICA:
EROTICA:
,,,,,,,,

      Designed by Cybertech in Poland.
      It contains strong (but  from a
      high guality...) pictures that
      might be shocking for younger
      people. You can only buy this
      game if you are over 18!!! The
      main game is a puzzler, but an
      addictive one!!!
      PRICE: US$ 16
      ,,,,,,,,,,,,,




DESTINY:
DESTINY:
,,,,,,,,

      Everyone knows Lepsi Developments!
      Well... they've made this game and
      it's great! Finally an arcade
      game!!! It reminds me of the first
      part from the RAMBO game...
      PRICE: US$ 12
      ,,,,,,,,,,,,,



ALIOTH:
ALIOTH:
,,,,,,,

      What do we have here? What a great
      game! Another arcade game made by
      Nostalgia Productions!!! It is
      similar to game from MicroValue
      (I believe it was called Demonware
      or something...) and it contains
      [ ^ probably Demon Blues -Stirf]
      excellent graphics (by Blazej
      Strazak also know as
      Diverse/Fairlight) and the music
      is also superb!!!
      PRICE: US$ 10
      ,,,,,,,,,,,,,




BRAVE AFRICAN HUNTRESS:
BRAVE AFRICAN HUNTRESS:
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

      A text adventure by Twilight! This

      to play which is important!!!
      PRICE: US$ 10
      ,,,,,,,,,,,,,



DORIS 2:
DORIS 2:
,,,,,,,,

      Another game from Cybertech. This
      game is another puzzler, but like
      Erotica a great one!!! Move the
      puzzle pieces and get the original
      picture back! It's very addictive
      and contains superb graphics and
      music!!!
      PRICE: US$ 12
      ,,,,,,,,,,,,,




COR O MATIC:
CAR-O-MATIC:
,,,,,,,,,,,,

      This game is almost the same as
      Erotica, but there are a few
      differences! Also extremely
      addictive and contains superb
      grapics and music!!!
      PRICE: US$ 12
      ,,,,,,,,,,,,,




BRAIN KILLERS:
BRAIN KILLERS:
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

      A two games compilation. It
      contains BALLZ by Street Childeren
      with music by Praiser. With this
      game you must be very quick with
      your joystick. The other game is
      again designed by Cybertech and is
      called MEGABRAIN! This is a game
      for people with a good memory.
      PRICE: US$ 12




SUPER HITS:
SUPER HITS:
,,,,,,,,,,,

most of you get these games through the
illegal scene, but if you wish to
receive more cracks them please buy
original games! Only if you continue
