Mamba 21 ch01 The Month in Brief

From C64 Diskmag Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
  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' ??

  * 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.

 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.

                                      +

 in future we will be listing all the
 previews that were released in the
 past month in this section.

  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. (check the last
  issue for more detailed informations)


  the way the decisions are made are
  self-explanatory...
