Well there is still not much to report for 'Domination'
from the United Kingdom, the scene is certainly
picking up here but in a particular way, little or no
software available, but certainly more Commodore
users than for the past three years.
 
It is almost impossible to count the 'fanzines'
appearing on the scene, but by far the best is
'computer' (now 'Commodore Scene'), this is edited by
Richard Bowen (ED: see GAME SCENE for further info)
along with a host of co-contributors, most of who i
thought had left the scene for good, it appears that
quite a few new games will appear from notable
programmers mainly for use on the cover disk,
but some will certainly be sold as commercial projects
in the near future.
 

Currently quite a lot f programmers outside the UK
are trying to sell or get people to sell their games
over here sadly.
Some have already been seen on the cracking scene
as they have already been distributed elsewhere in
Europe, so how well they will sell is anyone's guess.
 
One pain in the butt is 'Eaglesoft', no need to mention
any names here, but they are trying to rip off the
UK market like hell with some below average tack.
 
The problem is that here we have loads of new users
also who really do not understand the 'scene', these
are being taken for a right ride.
(Are you taking note 'Nuke'?)
 
No new games are emerging, 'Mayhem' are just about
the only active group left in the United Kingdom,
if you like S.e.u.c.k. and "interlace", then thats ok,
 
 
but it is not really what we want.
More to tell when more happens.
