----------------------------------------
Feel warmly welcome to the board chapter
of Jamaica, which is edited by TABASCO.
I always thought it was so boring to see
just a board number and a comment like:

  -Bah! Call this mega elite board, it
    fucking rules! No:1 for sure!!!

 So, I decided to make a few reviews of
 some european boards... I'm not going
 to rank any of them, I will just tell
 you facts and what I think about them!

               They are:

The decadence............Spirit/Antic hq
Icecream castle.........Rebels/Excess hq
Powerengine....Atlantis/Triad/JAMAICA hq
The highway..........Chromance/Coderz hq
The studio......................Triad hq
Paradize.....................Illusion hq
Future zone..........Fairlight/Active hq
Warez aquarium..............Fairlight hq
The lost empire...............Success hq
Twilight world......Electric boys/Taq hq


     That's 10 different boards...
         And here they come...

          Wares: LEGAL ONLY! 19 legal
                 directories, but most
                 of them are empty at
                 the moment.

                 of private ones.

 COMMENTS: The board has 3 game modules
and they are masterhacker, labyrinth and
castle falkner... Loooong loading time!
There are 3 libraries, 2 with old brutal

swallow a huge amount of files & texts!

the board is very fast because of the
ramlink! High quality graphics by the

to keep the board up! It's the only
c64 board (what I know) in Switzerland!

When jerry adds something to the wares
area, you can be sure it's new and of
good quality. The action in the subs
could be better.. It's still one of
my favorite boards.

You can also vote for different things,
like demo group, cracker, best girl etc.
They change questions regulary. They
Try to frighten you by writing
"CALL BACK IN TEN DAYS OR GET DELETED"
but this is only bullshit to fool a few
poor guys.. As I said; 250 not updated
users.

COMMENTS: Nice graphics by various guys.
This board has a really nice and fast
user ranking & two game modules which
are empire & little shop of horrors.
The most original about this board is
the little built in text adventure in
swedish called "JOHNNY FAGGOT"! It's
a nice game about killing and raping!
Too bad for you that it's written in
swedish! The sysop, Spirou/Fairlight is
doing his military service, so it can
be hard to get a chat with him.

   Online since: first up on 28/6 1990-
                 march 1991, with Sledge
                 as sysop. opened again
                 somewhere around summer
                 1991 - ?,with Tron as
                 sysop. and now again
                 running with Sledge
                 as sysop, since 25th
                 november 1992.

COMMENTS: Good graphics.. Especially the
pictures made by Jucke/G*P. The board
has no modules and no libraries. When
you write a mail to another user it
doesn't show who you write to, that's
a bit irritating. Rumours says that
this board and the FUTURE ZONE will be
running on a PC in the future. They will
still be c64 boards, but the speed will
be much greater with a pc. the sysop
of this board, Sledge/Fairlight is a
crazy snes & neo geo fan.. he always
talks about his cool new games.

But the loader is slow. a nice library

COMMENTS: Really nice modds, promts &
graphics! This mod is the coolest i ever
seen! This is mainly a phreak board.
The amount of users is low, but i think
it's because that the sysop, Eric have
changed mod lately. The wares area is
only 1 c1541-ii, but Eric tells me that
he has 1 GIG HD which is sent away for
repair! I don't know if this is true..
Time will show...
