==[ Issue 8 Released on May 08 1995! ]=[ 3rd Issue in 1995! ]=============
Introduction :
Dragon Avenger -
Yours truly is back again with yet another great issue of Console
World. Took me more time this month to finish editing this issue, cuz,
the Handheld section was a bitch, NA stared it off and basically I had to
finish if off and re-edit some minor details. Also welcome our guest writer
this month, a member of the newly formed console group Swat, CyberChrist,
lets all give him a round of boo's..hehehe, a round of applause and listen
to his comments. I wanted to comment on Stephen King's charts, I spoke to
most of the general users last month and wanted to find out what they thought
of the rating system that he used for rating games. Well, personally, I speak
for tons of people when I say this, you CANNOT rate games on their size, that
is totally ridiculous, 8 pts for a 32meg game(if that is the correct pts
allocated for a 32 meg game on SK's charts?!), 7 pts for 24 meg, etc, etc,
well, take for example, Super Turrican 1 was only 4 megs and it was an
exceptional game, it only got 2 pts, but in CW it would get the full 2 points
allocated to a new game. I am not saying that the ratings used in CW are 100%
correct and that it should be the law, its just i find them to be more
realistic and thats why I have stuck by them since the return of Console
World. Lets take for example, Fear Night, it was 32 megs(jap), and all it
really was, was a slideshow presentation of some sort, well, according to SK,
it would get 8 pts, are you trying to tell me that garbage like that is
supposed to get 8 pts, no way! But of coz, CW's ratings would have given it
a measly 1 point! I am not trying to bash SK, its just after talking to many
people and then reading his charts, it made me realize a tragic flaw in his
charts. Let me drop this subject and move on to matters concerning the
rankings....what am I trying to say?, well, last month Daviolator brought
up the subject of receiving points for the Magic releases after Magic joined
Napalm, his exact words were :
'So how would the charts work out this month? All the Magic releases will
be given credit to Napalm?', hmm, makes you wonder eh? Of coz I don't blame
him for asking cuz, he is fairly new to the scene and in the operations of
how CW works, no prob Dav.! Though, he did bring up something that dawned on
me a month or two back, and that was when he told me :
'I would be a liar if I told ya I didn't care about how we do in a month in
the charts...It would be a lie if anyone told ya that :)', well that is very
true, we all look forward to how we did, that I think is more of a human
instinct, I guess we all work hard and this is where it is shown, but don't
think the charts are the only place??!! The scene itself knows and has eyes
and your actions are not gone undetected by anyone, believe me. Its just
sometimes I look back and say, charts???, what are they?, well, are they
doing more harm then good again?
On to a more lighter note, April was a dry month for most of us.
Though the usual groups did show up and did try to accomplish releasing
games, and that was a nice thing to see. Busts did occur, some guys left
and some guys joined other groups, little things that make the entire scene
go round. Another topic of discussion was the re-editing of the diz files
by the Risc console dudes, like I said to some of them, i disagree with the
concept of editing someone else's diz to include Risc Console at the bottom,
is there a need for it? I think not! Look at this way, a group worked hard
(well groups do!) to obtain and release it, its there game and no one but
that specific group should be able to re-edit their diz file. I know if it
was a game concerning SNK, and I saw some Risc Console guy spreading it and
he/she also re-edited the diz, I wouldn't be too happy, and I think that goes
for all groups out there. If Risc would like to have Risc console below the
diz, well, its easily solved, just have it as your sent-by, that doesn't harm
anyone! But in any case, i addressed this question to some people,
'does the console scene really need a couriering group?', well, more then
95% of them said no, Sigma and the Risc console guys were the only one to
say yes, but we do know Sigma, he will spread any game..hehehe! Most groups
like to spread their own games! Anyhow, enough of this talk, lets move on
over and hear the voices of NA and CyberChrist. Enjoy, till next month!
Night Assassin -
Oh my, has another month passed by already? I hope you guys
enjoyed the first two issues of Console World. With all the new higher end
systems coming out (U64, PSX, Saturn, Jag <- Hah!) it's funny to imagine
how the console scene will be like in the next year. (Or even a few
months from now) I know this was a topic of discussion on a couple of
boards that I frequent. Well, anyways, I'd just like to pay my respects
to those who has started it all : Baseline (BSL) Magical (M-) UCCI and
Legend (L-) the fathers of the scene! But what do I know right? 8)
It's funny how things have changed over the last 3 years. I cannot
believe the scene started back in 1992. It's been a long time, and we've
seen groups come and go. Many thanks to all who has kept the scene going!
Sorry for not inputting too much last month, I was busy with some
school work (lame excuse right?) and I didn't really get into things. But
hopefully this month will be a little bit better. I do sort of miss things
on the SNES since I sold my copier to pick up a PSX. But that's my
problem, and who gives a fuck right? Hehe.. well anyways, here I go
rambling on ... Update, I sold my PSX, and now I have nothing!!!
There has been an issue concerning the editing of the FILE_ID.DIZ
for certain games. Risc console has been doing this for all the console
games which their couriers spread. Personally, I think that shit is lame,
it's no wonder how these people from the IBM scene come in thinking that
they can dominate. But do not take this personally, I know of many people
who feel the same.
Oh yeah... Console World has a new section! Take a look at section
number 4! It's the handhelds section! And it's done because of YOU! The
readers who has demanded it! (All 3 of you guys! hehehe).
CyberChrist -
I guess this was a month of reflection for everyone. I did my part,
I ran into Black Spyrit on IRC and chatted with him about the old BSL days
and the old RAZOR days, along with iCE. It struck me that it was funny that
a guy in an ANSI group was instrumental in starting a console group and one
of the first console trainer groups and that the scene is full of Amiga guys
who can't see IBM ansi.. funny eh? I thought it was a pretty funny situation.
Anyway, I'm sure everyone is wondering what happened to SWaT last
month. Answer: nothing. There weren't enough games coming out and that's
not any of our fault. The plain truth is that we researched everyone and
everything in the console scene over the span of a month and have talked to
a shitload of people that are basically not doing this anymore for one reason
or another. I know a lot of what everyone thinks of each other and have
learned and confirmed how the top groups in the scene are doing things right
now. It is funny and frankly I think I gave people waaaayy too much credit
and thought their setup was more elaborate than what it is. Beta testing and
renting games is almost funny, but it's extremely funny that groups sustain
themselves doing that. The month was very productive as far SWaT is
concerned and the results will not be seen in the April upload stats, but I
guarantee that you will see it in the next few months and hopefully we will
give everyone a run for the money.
Anyway, here's a little commentary on some things that were said this
month. Someone out there that 'now it's personal'. Ok, whatever. I would
like all these "legends" what they think they are doing. There is nothing
more disgusting than a group of individuals that think they are "legends".
Sorry guys, but legends are so because other people call them so. I have
never seen people call themselves "legends" except in the console scene. No
one, I repeat NO ONE is a legend as far as I see it. There is good, there
is better, and there is best. And no matter what, there is always someone
out there walking around that is better than you and there are people that
see this "legend" thing and this "it's personal now" thing and laughs. Shit
like that not only makes me laugh, but it makes me want to be better. No,
it's not about money, it's not about picking up from stores, but it DOES
seem to be about competition and holding grudges for a LONG LONG time. Let's
face it, if it wasn't about competition, this chart wouldn't even exist.
But according to some of the same people, it's all 'for fun, not status'.
But 'now it's personal'. Please keep the personal bullshit aside. And
please don't feed us bullshit about how it's about 'honor'. We're not
fucking samurais and it's not about fucking 'honor'. It's about games.
Whether or not Magic releases them, and whether or not he helped out in
Premiere, it's not and never will be about 'honor'. It's about accepting
who you are and the fact that legends do not make themselves. They endure
over time and there is always someone better than you. I think in a couple
of months people are going to know what I'm talking about here a little more
clearly, but as far as everyone is concerned, what happened in the past is
the last thing anyone needs to worry about, if what they are worried about is
who releases what, is what happened in the past. Look ahead and quit feeding
everyone the "legend" crap. We will see waaay down the road who was a legend.
At any rate, things look decent as far the console scene goes for the
next few months. The Sony Playstation looks killer, and the Saturn looks like
it will hold up quite nicely. I'll get to see the U64 in all it's glory at E3
so I can only say that I hope that it lives up to what it has been touted for.
Also, the 3DO upgrade will be out very soon and that will propel that system
up to the level that the PSX and the Saturn and the U64 is jockeying for.
The Jaguar is looking dead, but there is a rumor about a Jaguar upgrade
coming out around November, so maybe the Jag will get some life into it (and
maybe a real copier). We will see what the console scene shapes into within
the next year. If the U64 ends up being a pain in the ass, this whole console
chart thing will be a thing of the past (maybe THEN you can count the legends).
Anyway, enough of my rambling. Enjoy the charts.

Hmmmmmm, I am wondering what to write about when it comes to Magic,
this guy just seizes to amaze us at times, he got off very lucky this month
thanks to Breakdown checking the Warlock games by the old method of file
comparing....was Breakdown kissing up to Magic so that he could have pulled
him into Cream..dunno? But anyhow, I am kidding Breakdown, so I am not picking
on you in any way...! We did see the bust of Striker take place this month,
was a big sting in his area code that involved the busts of about 17 bbs
boards. So i don't know what you were thinking, but I thought that it might
now seal the fate of Magic since his long time friend was now gone(remember,
it was only Striker and Magic in this together!) But that was not the case
and we soon realized where Magic had jumped ship too, was it very obvious??
I think so! Not all that bad I guess, Magic did put out those 2 sports games
so, what else you want me to say...keep it up!
Night Assassin -
Not much to say, but keep up the good work. You guys have proved
to me that you can supply. But there are some things which don't look to
organized, for example your filenames have got to be changed, it's annoying
to see MAGICXXX.LHA There is an art to the way in which you name files, and
you guys don't seem to have it. Just some constructive critism that's all.
There seemed to be a lot of confusion concerning the 2 releases of Warlock,
but all have been resolved. You guys get your credit.
CyberChrist -
What can I say? I used to be a big fan of Magic, but as of late, I
think everyone in it went south (especially to New York). End-2-End football
was a good game, although I didn't like the game play too much. The Warlock
games were legit, although I have some differences with the Magic people as to
whether to release a final U.S. version or not. I know that NCAA Road to the
Final Four sat around for four days before it was released by Magic, so that
release was good in that it came out, but as far as speed, I think it could
have been better. Now Napalm has to worry about Magic, so I guess it's all
Daviolator's problem now. I wish him the best.

Man, this wouldv'e been a very slow month for these guys if it wasn't
for all that excitement that Magic brought along with him to Napalm. So in
case you still are weery and don't know what I mean, well, I guess you don't
deserve to be in the scene then?!, well, Magic after the bust of Striker,
merged up with the Napalm crew. In the span of about 1/2 hour, we all began
to realize what had taken place on the 20th day of this month, well, i was
bbs surfing and I saw this file npm-col.lzh been uploaded on some major bbs's
and I said to myself, wow, what game could it be, well, after one of the
risc console guys finished, i checked to see what it was, well, surprisingly
it was Columns 3. Soon followed by Columns 3 came Asterix and the Great
Rescue, and then followed Pinball Fanatasies. Daviolator thought we all made
too much of a big deal about Columns 3, well think about it, I could very
well understand duping a group by hours, but not by one full year! Now lets
talk about Asterix and the Great Rescue, it was out in all the shops, at
least the ones that we contacted in different areas, so i had to give you
nil for that one too, as for Pinball Fanatasies, well, you can say we were
generous enough to give you the 1 pt for it, as it was nuked on mostly all
euro. boards, but yet again, the US matters more! Though we did see yet
another Acclaim game from this group, what else is new, they own it.hehehe!
I hope Napalm has realized what they have on their shoulders now, and its
gonna be a big task getting the quality control personal on Magic.
Lets wait and see......!
Night Assassin -
Look, Napalm shows us that they can still supply even though they
lost their key suppliers to Swat. They've always had the strong edge on
the Acclaim games, and this month proves it. And never forget that amazing
intro (Snes) by Danzig. Great work! On the other hand, it's unlikely to
see a dupe from this crew. Censor released Columns III ages ago!! It's
official that Magic has joined Napalm! We'll see what happens, I guess
with Striker's bust, things will start to change. Only time will tell!
CyberChrist -
All in all, Napalm had a decent month if you look at it overall.
They released Judge Dredd first of the month and the rest came out in the end.
Not much in the middle, but I did talk some to Daviolator and all I can say
is that I am glad that he has regained his confidence in that he can release
Genesis games without Shadow Master <big grin>. He also told me that he will
be taking a break during this summer, leaving the scene for awhile to just
chill out. Hopefully the rest of Napalm will remain around and we can look
forward to more games, hopefully not dupes.

I would still like to know, slktens.lzh???? What happened to ru-..lzh,
that made me wonder at first, is this for real or a fake? Yet when I went to
look within the archive, I noticed it was missing the rush info file, so that
me wonder again! But then again, hey, i didn't really try to investigate it
much cuz MT's bbs had it, so i assumed it might be a new supplier that was
learning the ropes and fucked up the filename, dunno, but I can relate to
that as one of our suppliers did that once, so no big problem, the credit
was given! According to some people that I have talked to recently, they told
me that Mad Turnip was busted, the cause is unknown to me at the moment but
that wouldn't be hard to find. In any case, I wish him any luck he deserves
in resolving the issue(s) and hopefully we'll see him back to release soon!
Night Assassin -
It's not the quantity of releases, it's the quality right? Well,
it's great to see that this group is still alive in the tough times as it
is already!!
CyberChrist -
If it's quality, not quantity, I would say there is one foot in the
grave and the other one sliding in as far as I see it. I don't talk too much
with the RuSH guys, but hopefully they will pick it up a little and get into
it some more.

What can I say, even when it was slow for other groups this month,
Sneakers still rose above the rest and showed us that they can do it even
if times are slow! This group works as a team when it comes to times like
this, and I can honestly say, things worked out for us. Lets get to the games
they put out this month, Metal Warriors was a game that everyone was looking
forward to, I know Fallen Angel was! Keep it up guys!
Night Assassin -
What can I say? This is my team, and I'm damn proud to be a part
of it, there maybe times where I do not show that I care, but always
remember guys, you've asked me to join, and I shall never leave. SNK till
the console scene dies. A circle of friends which cannot be broken by
anyone. Sorry to the rest of you guys who are not in Sneakers, I had to
get this off my chest. Thanks... 'j
CyberChrist -
Sneakers is a cool bunch of guys. I will have to admit that I like
a lot of the guys in it, including Artic Cat!, Wing Leader, and Dragon
Avenger. Fallen Angel seems to be allright, although maybe a but overzealous.
But all the games they released were good games. I especially liked Metal
Warriors, but that's just the Cybernator in me.. <big grin>.. anyway, nice
work from SNK. We will see how May shapes up.

They started off the month with a game that had been expected for
quite some time now! Not a bad game to start off the month with, agreed?!
Though this group is slowly picking up every month, it still remains to be
seen if they will be of any force to the scene. One quick note, can we
say ansi??????? I think i will have to call up Enforcer so that he will do
a nice ansi for this group so that it will make this ansi look better for
Console World! All 3 of us had something to say about the ansi!
Night Assassin -
What a way to start off the month, Looney Toons BBall is a very
nice release. I think these guys watch just a little too many cartoons.
Other than that, I have no problems with these dudes! No offence, but
you guys need a little work with your ansi!
CyberChrist -
I think Amiga guys need to get a real computer and quit looking
at ansis too much. Play the game! <grin>

They are releasing at least 2 games a month now, hey, that is some
form of consistency that will earn you respect, better to release in a con-
sistent manner if you ask me! James Pond 3 was a nice release though!
Night Assassin -
These guys never seem to quit do they? I still remember TRSI from
the old Amiga days. But that's quite different now. As always TRSI shows
us that they can be consistant, and it is satisfying to see these guys
change from releasing old/dupes to new quality console files.
CyberChrist -
These guys never seem to quit, do they? I still remember TRSI from
the old VIC-20 days. They were slow then, they were slow last month. But
a game is a game and James Pond III was a game. It was allright, although
I liked the PC version better. Anything is better on the PC anyway... :)

Pulled off 7 points this month.....quite impressive for anyone to
pull off this many games against Edge as well! Though there were some
occasions when conflicts did arise b/w Edge and Anthrox, but in fair fashion,
they were resolved and yet we did still see a dupe from Anthrox. Love story,
well, Sigma pleaded his case Doze, simple fact of the matter was that,
USS Enterprise was down when Doze called. But all major bbs's had the edge
one though! All in all, it was a good month for Sigma, keep it up big boy,
and let me know when you need some more help on s!express...hehehe!
Night Assassin -
From what I've heard, those Emit Volume titles are for the Japanese
to learn english? Strange, but it goes to show that ATX can release Jap
titles for the hell of it. Too bad there isn't the quality as with last
month's Rockman VII, but hay, cool titles do not come out every month. And
giving Edge some competition is nice!
CyberChrist -
What can I say? I like Anthrox, and it's funny to see them release
Japanese games. As far as quality, no one group can do shit about quality of
games. If someone doesn't like a game, then write the game manufacturer.
I don't believe that groups blow off a game because of quality. Give me a
break. Anyway, Spiderman was a cool game. So was Majan Kindai, so I don't
know about giving it a '1'...

Can we say domination, i guess so, DOMINATION! Congrats to my bro,
Doze for his hard work in forming this group and making it a household name
now. Though he has had to contend with ATX at times, he still gets his job
done quickly and efficiently. With guys like Papillion, AC!, Empire, and
their new addition Mumbly, they are rocking and having fun.
Night Assassin -
Not much to say, but keep up all the good work. You guys have done
what Romkids did more than a year ago. But there is no attitude involved,
which commands more respect from the scene than your predecessors. But
look out, Anthrox is still around but you guys still take the cake.
Congrats on your group Doze. And bring on the Mah Jong games! Can't get
enough!!! Old Skool beat you to that Esparks 100% Jap final.. It's just
that the OS version didn't get spread as much... does anyone really care?
CyberChrist -
I like Japanese games, so I guess that means you will see another
group release them very very soon <hint>. But anyhow... I actually play
most of these games and they are all mostly playable. Only ones that are
a total bitch are the RPGs, but that doesn't warrant ranking them less. At
any rate, Doze is doing a good job and I guess Papillon is helping out, but
time will tell as to whether it is going to keep up.

What ever happened to that dominant training force that we
once became to knew??? Those were the days, now they don't care
as much yet they still do it for fun, its nice guys, but I think
Nightfall needs some kind of competition, don't you?
Night Assassin -
These guys have showed us once again, that Anthrox stands for
quality. Wild Fire is doing a great job releasing the trainers when people
actually want them, ie the day after the game is released. Plus, the
trainer menu is beautifully done. Good work. As usual. During the middle
of the month, busts in Montreal were happening, and it's a shame to see my
friend Wild Fire go down with it. Good luck and I hope this doesn't affect
ATX's training division. (Which it probably will though)

huhuhuhuhuhh... trainers are cool....

These guys are the Edge of the training scene nowadays,
they are quick and do they a good job training games as well, i really
admire their work, they seem to be there when a game is released,
sheer luck or just a gut feeling?! Good job fellas!
Night Assassin -
Congratulations on another fine month of quality training. You
guys are doing great. Every month, it's the same story, Nightfall or
Anthrox come very close. I guess it's pretty much a tie. So, I guess it's
safe to assume that the scene is better off knowing that you guys (ATX as
well) can rest easy because we have great coders making our gaming pleasure
a bit more easier!
CyberChrist -
Nightfall is a bunch of cool guys and of course, with some of them
being Italian, I can't help but to like them. Questa gente e molto
inteligente e sanno come 'code' il SNES molto bene!

I won't even comment here, ack, maybe I will! Guys, one trainer,
sure you might say the effort was there, but c'mon, you are playing with
the big boys now and if you want to climb to the top you WILL have to
just crank it up into 5 more gears up, I don't doubt you are capable,
now you must prove it!
Night Assassin -
Haha... I read in your NFO files that you guys are back since
Console World is back! So you guys are back for the status, I'll give you
guys my respect with that Secret of the Stars trainer (How creative)
And with a group name called 'Smile' good things are bound to happen.
CyberChrist -
I think a few people in the console scene could take a hint from
the name of this group. <ahem FA>

Before we end, I thought it would be funny to show the game the
has been trained by the most groups. It's not too hard to look and see
which game, so I've decided to include it! Actually we have a tie for
first place this month! Here goes :

+-------------------------+---------+--------------+-------------+-----+
There you go, it's a tie for 1st place with 3 groups each. Boy, are these
Ocean games really worth training? I personally think Ocean sucks. Hah.
And make sure you guys tell me what you think of this new section!
Night Assassin -
Well, like I always stress before, it's hard to tell who comes out
winning at the end of the month. So, I will let the readers decide who
comes out on top. Just imagine if Elitendo were still doing the trainers..
what confusion that would be. I'm pretty sure there are fans of Anthrox
who only patch the ATX trainers, and I'm certain that it's the same for
Nightfall as well. So, as usual, I end this section by saying, keep up all
the good work, you guys are a very unique division in the scene, one that
everyone should appreciate your efforts!
Oh yeah, where are the damn SEGA trainers!? Only if there were as
many SEGA trainers as there are NTSC/PAL fixes! Oh another note, what
happened to cool group games like Shoot Your Load (ATX) and that SNES
Pacman (Elite) That's the kind of stuff which people in the scene are
dying to see. Also, demos are very nice to watch, I remember some older
demos on the SNES which kicked ass, but noone really seemed to appreciate
the efforts which went into them.
+-------------+
| Section # 4 | Handhelds Division (NEW!) - Gameboy & GameGear
+-------------+
Scoring System
0 points - A game that has been duped! Or works fine on a Smart Card.
1 point - A game that is a 100% version, or an unplayable Japanese title
(ie Final Fantasy III!)
Or a trainer for a Gameboy/GameGear game (Since the handhelds
are to small to have their own seperate section!)
2 points - Any new game that is released (Or a final of a game that
wasn't very playable ie Final Fantasy III! <- Har!)
GB/GG - If its a gameboy game, its abbreviation will be gb and gg for
gamegear respectively!
Notes : The +'s are added in the charts to make our life easier! So, some
of it may apply and some may not! Use your head! 8)

Asgard, nice job guys, though all the games were for the gameboy,
i think some gamegear games would be nice too?! But I really don't care
for gb/gg, its like going back into the past rather then moving forward,
and the u-64, psx, and saturn are the future!
Night Assassin -
First it was Anthrox releasing trainers for Gameboy, now I notice
Asgard is putting them out. Nice work fellas.. It would be interesting to
see a trainer menu though. It reminds me of the old days when BSL would
release a trainer without any menus. <Sniff> Later this month, we see
that these guys just won't quit. Great work fellas! Greets to Sharon and
the rest!
CyberChrist -
Asgard are my buds. Sharon runs the SWaT Euro HQ, so I can't help
but to like them. Just too bad that most of these games are ANCIENT. But
release is a release and no one else had done them, so no one can complain.

to choose from. It kinda wants to make me go out and buy a GameGear. Hehe..
well great job Sigma!
CyberChrist -
Ha! Japanese handheld games.. what can I say but 'coolness'. Too bad
the GameBoy/GameGear copier does not ACTUALLY COPY GAMEGEAR GAMES!! Grr.. oh
well, I guess ATX has some kind of GG copier, so we will get the games from
them..

Was someone desperate for credits or was someone just bored??
I cannot say for sure, but like NA commented below, i think we need to
have someone knock on their door and tell them to wake up from their very
long hangover, cuz that's what it seems like!
Night Assassin -
Hello? Anyone home? These titles should be nuked everywhere!
I have a capture of all the files which were released on Gameboy and GameGear
and I checked all these out. They are not even 100% versions because I know
for a fact that those games works fine on a Smart Card. I used to own one,
and luckily for me,I am co on Domino Effect which has ALL the Gameboy/GameGear
titles online for my leeching pleasure. So whoever this Chaotix is, please
refrain from releasing this garbage. Plus, the logo is disgusting. No
offence, but you guys should look ahead instead of releasing this crap.

Hmm, is this the best that could be done by this group? Someone
commented to me the other day, 'is swat getting desperate now?', and i said
that is something they will have to answer for you. With a whole bunch of
gameboy/gamegear games, they were only able to release 1 measly game,
are they finding competition fierce in the handheld section too, well, that
will only be known in time!

Dragon Avenger -
I hope you enjoyed another installement of Console World, it took
more time in this venture, but it was worth the wait. As I write this
ending note, I can already see that May is going to be an excited month
for some groups, new developments happening already and some old faces
joining with some old groups. It will be exciting next month, and I cannot
wait. Until then, I wish the best to you all, and keep on enjoying the
scene! As for greetz, ick, they take time and if I miss someone, then i never
hear the end of it, well, in any case, NA devised a greetz list below,
if I was to compile mine right now, It would take more about 1 hour more to
type them out, there is a lot of people I know in the scene and I have devel-
oped friendships with lots of them, i would like to send greetz out to all
those who know me and to those whom I know, that includes those dudes in
Europe, so don't think I forgot you, I know you are there and peace to y'all!
-eNNAY final notes :
It's kind of funny, for me doing this issue because I have mostly
been thinking of the old days, which my style of commentary may be
reflected from my attitude! There are still a good number of cool titles
that I personally want to see, here goes : Secret of Evermore, Chrono
Trigger and that new SGI rendered Mario game. As you can tell, I'm a big
Squaresoft fan. Hehe..
Most of the comments regarding Console World has been positive.
That's why I have always been happy to waste my time and energy typing up
these charts. You may ask yourself why? Well, the answer is simple, for
YOU! That's right, YOU, the reader is why I'm keeping this magazine alive.
We would like to give the people in the scene something to look
forward to at the beginning of each month, and for the last 3 issues that
I've been involved in, it's been a blast. The Console scene is all that
I know, all that I care for. The Amiga scene used to be great (but we
won't want to get into that) and the iBM scene is too big and disgusting.
As my good friend r/\\/e mentioned before, the Console Scene is the closest
scene compared to the C64 (the good ol'days) but I wouldn't know about that.
I'm too young to know anything about it.
And to all my overseas friends, hang in there guys, I know it's
fucking tough to call out at the moment. And it shows because you guys are
the ones who made the boards in North America what they are today.
Oh no! My big ass greet list is coming up once again!

Hmm... anyway, nice month overall actually. Very dead, but a lot
of interesting developments behind the scenes. SWaT nonexhistant for the
month, but that was only in the releasing. SNK had a good month, NPM will
get through the dupe fiasco and move on, and everyone else will continue
doing what they did.
Who knows if I will get another chance to do this chart again?
I think after some of my comments they will hunt me down all the way to
Georgia and hang me by my nails. Last time I did something like this was
for Paradigm (anyone even know what that was? I did the first three issues,
and then the magazine died). I will basically say that I am having a blast
in the scene (finally) and that a lot of what we do in SWAT would not be
possible if we didn't have people working hard for us. Hard to believe SWAT
started two years ago, but it's been fun the whole way through and the PC
to console transition has been a real shot-in-the-arm for all of us. We are
here for the duration and we are not here to lose. And we are here to have
fun.
Greets (gosh): Scrotum Muncher, The Speed Racer,
Spaceman Spiff, Mega, Der Schatten, The Cardinal, John Doe #2, Ben Franklin,
Shinobi, Artic Cat!, Dragon Avenger, Wing Leader, Sharon, Calvin Klein,
Crazy Horse, Nueromage, all the IRC d00ds, all the old SWAT PC guys
(I know you are all out there and wishing you had stayed comma bitches),
Weapon X, and of course, MURPHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Remember: turn in the general direction of the Dalai Chucka and pray 3 times
a day. Maybe then you can achieve 3l33t NiRVANA..
