Mamba 24 ch01 The Month in Brief
From C64 Diskmag Wiki
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.
