Mamba 24 ch01 The Month in Brief

From C64 Diskmag Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
  hye there,

  yes! with a huuuuuuuge delay issue
  no 24 finally got released, means if
  we really had put the magazine out
  monthly we would be able to celebrate
  its 2-years anniversary with the
  release of this issue...

  ...if...

  nevertheless, the more entertainment,
  the more excitement and also the
  more anger (for some of you) is
  awaiting you though...have a look !


  always trying to find something
  peculiar for the first page, here's
  something the scene has been waiting
  for since its origin...

  a game, a game on cartridge called
  'the final chesscard', released by
  rushware several weeks ago is
  obviously the first 'non-crackable'
  game ever released for the c64.

  the cartridge, as twice as big as an
  action-replay cartridge, uses its own
  processor, scores can be saved on the
  cartridge by using a battery-buffer.
  etc

  other things you are able to find in
  this column are the common subjects,
  such as the opinion-poll and the
  first-release charts...


  the headliner of the month is the
  return of the 'legendary' conan of
  elite, who re-built his old group
  together with sting (x-enigma) and
  maniac (x-pandora)

  more detailed information to find in
  the news & gossip section...


            the opinion poll

  'how long do you intend to stay in
   the c64 scene ??'

  1. i'll quit soon!

  2. i'll quit next year!

  3. to its very end if nothing un-
     expected happens!

  4. i don't know, maybe tomorrow,
     maybe never...

  5. what,this is a c64 board? i wanted
     to call the quartex hq, c64 suxxx!

  option                   votes   %

  1. i'll quit soon!         4    4,4

  2. i'll quit next year!    1    1,1

  3. in it to its end!      48   53,9

  4. who knows, maybe...    32   35,9

  5. quartex hq ?            4    4,4

  89 voters; the majority consists of
  hardliners; ca. 36% are uncertain,
  but don't see themselves quit in the
  not-too-distant future either...

        the first-release charts
        ------------------------

  by deciding if a ware is 100% or
  bugged, one party usually disagrees,
  impossible to satisfy everybody...

  so we just don't even try to...


  note the additional information you
  get about each game, if it's
  levelpacked, multiloader/singlefiler,
  amount of trainers, additional hi-
  scoresaver, one/two sided.

  okey, a very little explanation...

  quite a lot of those games did need
  a fix file, a 100% version has been
  released afterwards. thus few groups
  lost points, some won points by
  fixing another groups' ware.

  remember that we treat one game as
  one subject. if the importer-group
  screws up, the euro-group loses
  points and the other way round.
