Mamba 23 ch01 The Month in Brief

From C64 Diskmag Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
  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...

             opinion poll
             ------------

  71 boys and girls gave their opinion
  to the following question, asked on
  mamba< headquarter,the shaolin temple



  'when you see a girl for the first
   time, what do you notice first ?'






                            votes  %

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

 of releases this past month. also the
 comeback of excalibur should make some
 changes in the charts. nice to see a
 change at the top for once.

 a pal/ntsc fixed version 4 weeks later
 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.
