Mamba 21 ch01 The Month in Brief
From C64 Diskmag Wiki
hye there... despite the holidays, summer time etc there have happened some interesting things that you will be informed about... the most surprising news this month comes apparently from london, where the organizers cancelled the eces- show in the last minute... no further informations available at this time, as noone was able to name any reasons yet. we'll keep you informed! very bad news arrived from a little town in germany called ohlum. nemesis (x-dom, i+t etc) has had a serious accident, he,riding his bike, was colliding with a car, and suffers from interior injuries. he had to undergo an operation and was in coma the first day... now the worst is over, and we hope for a speedy, complete recovery ! ...back to the normal business (quite difficult though) for a change we thought it might be interesting to list up all the people that makes one normal issue of mamba< possible. this one for example : (thanks to all of you!) bod/talent despiser/mirage aycee/tsm shark/censor deltar/tsm skater/censor frank/enigma tristan/empire gotcha axl rose/attacker hok/action magic man/enigma gadget/action sebio/enigma spitfire/action chrysagon/x-ray tricket/dom cosmo/dominators asterix! and some more... opinion poll ------------ you are in a club/disco and all your friends are dancing leaving you alone. you look around for someone to dance with and see 4 nicely built girls standing in a group chatting. which girl do you approach and ask to dance ? votes % 1) the girl with black hair 17 23.9 2) the girl with blonde hair 27 38 3) the girl with brown hair 11 15.4 4) the girl with red hair 5 7 5) flip a coin 11 15.4 (ed. somehow i think this poll is more interesting for girls, you might show that to your girl-friend ?!) another one... most people have a 'favourite' board they prefer calling. what makes a board your 'favourite' ?? votes % 1) the other users ? 12 17.3 2) the subs ? 17 24.6 3) the wares ? 14 20.2 4) on-line games ? 1 1.4 5) all of the above ? 25 36.2 * note that both opinion polls had been set up on the shaolin temple. again you are going to witness the first-release charts, based on the first version uploaded to our three boards we take into account for these charts... * the forum * the shaolin temple * second to none + ok here are the new look charts. as always we have tried to be as objective as possible where the lamer charts are concerned. check the lamer chart itself for more details of the way these games are judged. as you will notice all four charts will be seperated and there'll be a section at the end for details of other releases. ie. previews and utilitys. american importers (real chart) ------------------------------- last group points month -------------------------------------- 1.empire................ 18 02 2.the shaolin monastery. 06 03 3.north east importers.. 03 01 excellence............ 03 06 -------------------------------------- euro crackers (real) -------------------- last group points month -------------------------------------- 1.dominators............ 06 03 enigma................ 06 02 3.action................ 03 01 fairlight............. 03 -- hotline............... 03 -- ikari & talent........ 03 05 legend................ 03 03 odissey............... 03 -- -------------------------------------- explanations for real imports ----------------------------- switchblade ikari & talent/tsm * by gremlin. apoxoly action/empire * by double density. 3d construction kit enigma/empire * by domark. triplex hotline/excellence * by phantasy designs. hammerboy odissey/mirage * by dinamic. medieval lords (usa game) empire * by ssi. darkman legend/nei * by ocean. bouncing heads dominators/empire * by zeppelin. the crypt dominators/empire * by domark. su sweet enigma/tsm * by double density. speedball 2 fairlight/empire * by imageworks. lamer charts ------------ this is the new chart where all games from lamer groups are going to be placed. also all releases from real groups that are considered lame will be placed in this chart. obviously some people will not like some of the following decisions. lame releases charts (ami's) ---------------------------- last group points month -------------------------------------- 1.mirage................ 09 -- 2.excellence............ 06 -- 3.big................... 03 -- empire................ 03 -- lamers 'r us.......... 03 -- -------------------------------------- lame release chart (euro) ------------------------- last group points month -------------------------------------- 1.hysteric.............. 09 -- 2.titron................ 06 -- 3.china syndrome........ 04 -- 4.trc+tbi............... 03 -- ultimate.............. 03 -- wicked................ 03 -- -------------------------------------- explanations for lamer charts ----------------------------- operation merkur hysteric/mirage * by double density second world china syndrome * by magic bytes. crasher wicked * by ???. interceptor base ultimate/big * by ???. foton trc+tbi/empire * by trash software. reaction hysteric/mirage * by double density. rator titron/excellence * by loric. magic serpent csi/lru * by software 2000. pytos titron/excellence * by loric. conquestador hysteric/mirage * by german design group. also released this month : * dd&fc editor enigma/tsm a music tool rather interesting for musicians, coder though. + in future we will be listing all the previews that were released in the past month in this section. italian night preview f4cg * by simulmondo. rubicon dominators * by ???. espodil the boys * by ???. some additional explanations... remember that each release gets three points, fixed versions get one or two points, depending on who put the fixed version out.
