Mamba 23 ch01 The Month in Brief
From C64 Diskmag Wiki
hye there...
so, further 6 weeks passed (sigh),
but that is not really a disadvantade
as you will find the more interesting
things in this issue.
especially remarkable is the
'news & rumours' section as we just
passed quite an eventful month.
have a look at this month's
headliners on the following page
though...
. ikari dead, danes joined legend
. excalibur back, x-factor returned
. genesis project & victims in
cooperation
. terminal obsession, censor us hq,
down, sysop prodigy caught by
secret service
. sorceress/victims admitted having
phonesex with bod/talent
. and more...
around the 19th/20th of september
it must have been, when swat-teams
(special anti-terror forces in the
states) visited the houses of
murdock and grim reaper of nei.
shortly before, two americans known
in the c64 scene as skandle and thor
called up the police and turned them
(grim reaper & murdock) in for
murder. the swat teams stormed their
houses etcetc
to horizon/nei they sent the fire-
brigade.
needless to say that something like
that can only derive of the minds of
creatures that are mentally sick!
if you did not know yet how low
humans can be, here you got the best
example... thor & skandle ...
it all started when the nei members
were quarreling with the cure (same
group like thor and skandle) on some
us-board, that is why they decided
to do it.
another topic...

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 both the
charts will be separated and there'll
be a section at the end for details of
other releases. ie. previews and

explanations:
-------------
black reign released hiskado 100% as
there first import. both versions had
the full 130 levels. the only thing
different was a basic level editor in
the g*p/black reign version. points
were given to verdict/nei.
empire released a 100% version of i
want more diamonds. the only thing
they claim is wrong with mirage's
import was that it had a track and
sector loader. points given to mirage
and hysteric.
