Mamba 17 ch01 The Month in Brief
From C64 Diskmag Wiki
yessss, a lot of mail filled the
box this month, and that is still
the trigger of our actions !
keep on sending and notice that the
address will change very soon !

the world again...
england, denmark, italy, sweden,
finland, norway, france, netherlands,
belgium, hungary, switzerland, usa,
canada, germany, argentine!, israel,
turkey and czecheslovakia !!
...thanks a lot...
headline news
-------------
honestly, my personal headliner
reached me in venlo, when arrogance
of x-ray, the editor of 'bildzeitung'
told me how he got the antichrist
interview, which you could read in
the third issue of his magazine.
i was told by him, that antichrist
sent the interview without being
asked for, that means, the questions
and answers were both made by anti-
christ himself !
nice job, oliver!
further headliners this month are...
- transcom & x-ray coop split up
- random will presumably die when
stormbringer quits in april.
- german "plk's" will be closed in
summer '91 by the german post.
* read the news-section for more
detailed informations !
in this issue you won't find any
demo reviews, because only a very
few demo arrived this month, half of
them are not worth being tested and
some didn't even work properly...
worth mentioning is the newest
powers of pain demo called 'tendance'
consisting of eight parts...
a canadian demo was sent to us by
the wanderer/evil, try to have a look
at it if possible... (thanks mike)
(+) for the charts...
to be first or not to be first
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
the us-game 'dark knights of krynn'
was released by atc and nec almost
at the same time...
an atc-member scratched the nec
version off of warez castle to get
their own version on.
* deleting an other groups' release
will be punished with loosing the
contest for that game. important :
that applies to every board !
...point for nec
a foreword...
welcome to this months first release
charts. hopefully this month the
charts will look more objective due
to the fact that there has been more
releases this month.
the rules are simple, over the month
we watch 3 top boards and note the 1st
releases. in the case of two groups
releasing the same game, the group
that has there version on a majority
of the 3 boards first gets the point.

mirage, last month no 1, had no
first release in the last weeks,
except for a print kit...?!
three releases doesn't seem to be
striking, but compared to former
months, it is a real progress.
further turrican ii from rainbow
arts has been released, however it
has not been fixed to ntsc-norm,
that's why no point was given for
this game.
presumably it was action who had the
first release...
some previews has been released such
as back to the future iii by censor.
-burn the return
