 once again welcomes you to a new
 chapter in splash,da mag reviews.
 in this issue i have reviewed 5
 different mags...

 > newshawk 2 by varsity

 > explorer 16 by antic

  >newshawk 2/varsity

when you first load the mag a nice
varsity intro welcomes you.later u
have  to wait while  going through
a picture and a newshawk intro but
this is really quite boring...

the mag:there's a nice & huge news
hawk logo and right under you can
see the chapter to be loaded which
is controlled with a joystick.
 on the space under,there's a text
describing you how to load...

when you choose,the screen goes b-
lack and this's the way it loads.
then the text appears  on that sp
ace again... and that's all about
the outfit...
  the text is okey but i do think
that the editors should try to put
more work on that.there are 10 ch-
apters by the way.. anyway,here is
my opinion   text:    %65
             graphics:%75
             style:   %70  overall
             music:   %75
             code:    %65    >%70

    >moonlight 1/gothic design

 well,when you first load the mag
 you see a normal intro.then the
 main is loaded and later the text
 for editorial...

 the mag:there's a moonlight logo
 at the top which really is fuckin
 cool! but it's done by joe/antic
 for gothic.under the logo there's
 the chapter menu but you can see
 only one chapter.and then under
 that the text screen and then the

 gothic logo just like the moonli-
ght logo.the text is upscrolled on
the text screen but i think the s-
pace is quite small abd this ruins
the reading.
 there are 13-14 chapters but the
text ain't much as this is the fi-
rst issue,so no comment! and sure-
ly they should put a loading sign
somewhere!  text:    %65

>violation 4/tdu(dead)

this mag was editorialed by tdu
but tdu is dead as much as i know
so i think the cure'll publish the
mag.anyway...
 the menu screen of the mag is qu-
ite classic,a small violation gra-
phic on  top and  the chapters are
shown with chars.you can go up and
down and fire loads.this is really
boring...could be better i think!
 on the text screen,there's a huge
violation logo swinging but it le-

aves the space empty.i mean it go-
es out of the screen.under the lo-
go the name of the chapter is sho-
wn. the text  is upscrolled on the
space left.
 the text is okey.since this is an
oz mag the text is also about the
things in australia.the only posi-
tive thing about the mag is this..

>geneteic dreams 11/tnc

at last a bit different mag...af-
ter a nice intro you are asked so
me questions.i don't know why un-
limited time is asked for(perhaps
for fun only)but when you say yes
to "do you wanna be no 1 in charts
and write your and group name,you
always will be no 1 in the charts!
he he...really interesting...
  anyway,after that,you enter the
main screen.let me describe it...
on top a nice g.dreams logo smiles

 you.and under,the 15 chapters are
displayed in 3 columns and 5 rows.
and finally there's a 2x2 scroller
under that.when you choose the one
you want to load,the scroller dis-
seapears and a loading sign is se-
en.after loading the scroller app-
ears again.also the text pages are
on the space where the chapters u-
sed to be...just above the page so
me signs are visible."+" is for da
next  and "-"  is for the previous
page." "  returns  to the menu and
"note" is for the second music.

there's also a printer menu...
 anyway,that's all for the outfit.
the text is also not that bad but
surely could be better.
 although this is the eleventh is-
sue,it's the first one i read.rea-
lly strange...i think this mag can
be something if ti's well spreaded

> explorer 16 by antic

 having loaded the mag,a cool int-
ro welcomes you.after there's a pr
esentation screen with a nice logo

  right after,you pass to the text
screen. this screen is really very
good looking.the char set is quite
easy to read and the space for txt
and the logo is very well divided.
  the logo is fucking  cool by the
way and there's a nice antic spri-
te jumping on it..the pages switch

in a  different way.when you want
to load the next chapter you have
to move the joy up and...arggh!..
what is this??? the chapter names
are presented with a huge charset
on the whole screen and this sure
ly looks bad!!!!  it really ruins
all the other cool gfx and design
 text is quite good but could ha-
ve more chapters perhaps,language
is smooth and slicky,and there su
rely aren't many typing errors...
  okey move to the other page for
the ratings...
