Feel warmly welcome to the board chapter
of Jamaica, which is edited by TABASCO.
I always thought it was so boring to see
just a board number and a comment like:
-Bah! Call this mega elite board, it
fucking rules! No:1 for sure!!!
So, I decided to make a few reviews of
some european boards... I'm not going
to rank any of them, I will just tell
you facts and what I think about them!
They are:
The decadence............Spirit/Antic hq
Icecream castle.........Rebels/Excess hq
Powerengine....Atlantis/Triad/JAMAICA hq
The highway..........Chromance/Coderz hq
The studio......................Triad hq
Paradize.....................Illusion hq
Future zone..........Fairlight/Active hq
Warez aquarium..............Fairlight hq
The lost empire...............Success hq
Twilight world......Electric boys/Taq hq
That's 10 different boards...
And here they come...

COMMENTS: Nice graphics by various guys.
This board has a really nice and fast
user ranking & two game modules which
are empire & little shop of horrors.
The most original about this board is
the little built in text adventure in
swedish called "JOHNNY FAGGOT"! It's
a nice game about killing and raping!
Too bad for you that it's written in
swedish! The sysop, Spirou/Fairlight is
doing his military service, so it can
be hard to get a chat with him.

Online since: first up on 28/6 1990-
march 1991, with Sledge
as sysop. opened again
somewhere around summer
1991 - ?,with Tron as
sysop. and now again
running with Sledge
as sysop, since 25th
november 1992.
COMMENTS: Good graphics.. Especially the
pictures made by Jucke/G*P. The board
has no modules and no libraries. When
you write a mail to another user it
doesn't show who you write to, that's
a bit irritating. Rumours says that
this board and the FUTURE ZONE will be
running on a PC in the future. They will
still be c64 boards, but the speed will
be much greater with a pc. the sysop
of this board, Sledge/Fairlight is a
crazy snes & neo geo fan.. he always
talks about his cool new games.

But the loader is slow. a nice library
with BOARD GRAPHICS! Really nice idea!
it has graphics from old and new boards
.. And dead, like my board Dreamline.

I also swap with the sysop Guzzler.

COMMENTS: Really nice modds, promts &
graphics! This mod is the coolest i ever
seen! This is mainly a phreak board.
The amount of users is low, but i think
it's because that the sysop, Eric have
changed mod lately. The wares area is
only 1 c1541-ii, but Eric tells me that
he has 1 GIG HD which is sent away for
repair! I don't know if this is true..
Time will show...
