It just seemed liked days ago when we finished releasing the last issue, my how time sure does fly when you start aging..hehehe! Last issue, we heard the comments from a fellow Swat member, and this month we will be hearing from a sysop(and a friend!)that everyone has come to know and like, though i was kinda disappointed that Rave didn't write an introduction, he's good at writing what he feels about the scene and you will be witness to that as you read on. The month was very lagging in many departments, the warez didn't pour in like they usually do and also the presence of many key people were not seen as well, its something I have been observing for a while now and its very sad to see that happen. The Europeans are having a bitch of a time trying to call out, though some are accomplishing it, but it still doesn't give them a good line. And personally, the presence of the Euro's is missed by a lot, mostly sysops i assume....! Even the jap warez were not in their usual presence as well, what can I say, it was a month that some people would like to forget. On another little note, i had been away from the scene as well last month after starting the month off strong for SNK, and only to come back to read some disturbing messages in the CW conf on HOF. Well, i think that a comment or two is required to answer some of them. This legends issue, well, I know CyberChrist mentioned it last issue, but it still remains to be on his mind. Groups like Magical, Premiere, Anthrox and now Sneakers have proved to the scene that they are legends in their own way. You could argue as to fact that Paradox and Romkids were big players in the scene, yet, the scene remembers them as the legends in the jap warez of the scene because of the help of the best jap supplier to date: Papillon. I brought the issue of the legends to a pioneer of the console scene, Ice Cube, and he shared the same sediments that I have said above with the exception that he wouldn't classify Pdx or Rmk as legends as a whole but only Papillon. Though i did ask him, where was Censor in this equation, well, he replied simply that Censor were amongst the Pioneers of the scene rather then legends. So my next approach was to find out who he thought were the pioneers, UCCI, Pong, High Society, Phantasm, and of coz, Censor, as Censor was the first group to bring the scene a real intro. Fairlight had done one before them but it was just a plain intro, so moreover the Censor one was coded and deemed a real intro. So back to the issue again, sure Legends can be beat, its not to say they are untouchable, but overall, as a whole, through times of tough, and competition the group shows us that they are consistent and thats what 'the stuff legends are made of'! To end off here, respect is earned over time and not earned overnight, it takes months and months and months of hard work and CONSISTENCY to reach the mountain, but when you hear comments like 'i'd say whoever gets the majority of those games can truly say they are the shit'(referring to games coming in the future!), is completely BULLSHIT, because when you reach above the crowd, you must show the crowd that you can stay there while others try to knock you out of there. Legends have had to fight with the best to obtain that status, so in all fairness to Cyberchrist, attitude alone won't get you anywhere, it will be months of domination and willingness to remain afloat that will earn you respect, and apart from just releasing any game, releasing MAJOR quality titles consistently is a plus! I could name you plenty of quality Major titles that Magical, Anthrox, Premiere and Sneakers have put out. When you've done that, then please talk like the big boys! P.S - This is nothing personal vs. Swat or Cyberchrist(you know it isn't, i really like the determination, reminds me of myself when I started, but i did my business in a quiet manner!) , this was something we felt should've been addressed as Swat is still new and they roam around like they own the scene, that PC mentality is not appreciated in the console scene. Sure, the attitude thing, well, you need a bit of an attitude to get anywhere, and personally it doesn't bother me, but the way you convey it is the heartbreaker! And as far as SNK is concerned, (and i think i speak for active/non- active groups like Atx, Pr, Magical, Ucci, Pong, Phantasm, HS, Pdx and Censor) that we have nothing to prove to anyone now, the time has gone and we've shown the scene what we are capable of. As the scene approaches the time where groups are slowly starting to pull away from it(cuz its not for fun anymore, its about points and having a big attitude!), new groups come in to show their stuff, well, its over, now is not that time, that time has gone when all the big boys were around, now there is only a handful as back then there were too many. Proving yourself now is not what is used to be vs. the many that were around when we did so and have been doing. If it was ALL about points, i'd like to see you reach 50-60 pts on US games alone like the time when FA and I were both in Premiere, man, those were the days, the competition was left hanging and wondering what to do and how to beat us. The competition and hunger is not the same as it used to be. Wow!, I cannot believe I wrote that, well, that is the truth and it is the unbiased way of saying it, i don't know of any other way I couldv'e rephrased it! Night Assassin - Yes! Yes! Yes! It's another issue of Console World! As usual, we hope that the last 3 issues have brought joy to your eyes and perhaps a tear as well? Well anyways I have noticed a lot from the reaction of the readers. First of all, I noticed that you guys actually read the stuff that we write! Haha.. that's what I like about doing console world, it's good to know at least someone is reading this stuff! And I hope you guys enjoyed the new handhelds section last month cause it was our very first attempt! On another note, I've noticed that tonnes of FAQ's and PSX copy infos have come out lately, I'm not saying that we don't need the stuff, but how about a separate conference for this shit? Yikes, it's kind of disgusting going through pages of those txt's which anyone can get from the internet. But it's good to see the SNES is not dead yet, although I was disappointed to hear about the U64 coming next April. (Although I'm not surprised with Nintendo's action. Well, at least we know the scene isn't going to be dead as of yet! BTW, believe me or not, but I predicted Killer Instinct would come out for the SNES a few months ago! (Honest!) And wasn't the sudden release of the Sega Saturn a shock? Yikes, but honestly, the PSX kills it (And with the addition that it's possible to get copied games now) The only thing the Sega has is the awesome AM2/AM3 arcade games for it! I can't wait for Virtua Fighter 2! As usual, we have our host for the month. So, this time around it's <Applause> r/\\/e (of M2S, Premiere and ACC!, I hope that's everything!) He was supposed to host last month's issue, but Cyber Christ took the job. Well anyways, I have always felt that r/\\/e has his share of opinions about the scene, and what better way to express it than Console World? Well, he has been running Menace II Society (cool movie) for over a year now, and has made his board a model for running a quality console BBS. Well, enough of his profile and let's start the charts! And as always, leave and comments, suggestions, to me, DA on any quality console BBS. (Or call the CW headquarters located somewhere in Canada!) Oh yeah... almost forgot, Slideshows are lame, so they will not be included in the charts. With all those utils that let's you make them, it's a shame to see so many, c'mon a slideshow of the games from E3? Desperate hungry people huh? +-------------+ | Section # 1 | Super Nintendo & Genesis : English Game Releases +-------------+ Scoring System 0 points - And IPS patch that updates a game from a BETA to Final or Jap to English. (Too many groups do make this) 1 point - Final releases of Beta's and games that were previously released in another language but yet very playable. (ie, Super Nova (shootemup) & Art of Fighting (Fighting). 2 points - New English titles, never been released before and English releases of games that where released in another language and were very unplayable. (ie Genghis Khan). 3 points - Mega releases, a release so good that everyone is playing it and everyone is talking about it. /\ / _______________ / \ _____________ ╖k╖ / _ \ ___/ _/___ \ ___ \____ \_ _ _/ _ \___ \ | / \_ / /_ | /_ S Asgard! - \\\___| \____/_____/_____/__\___/_____//// c | \_brings you today... o ----------.-----|_____/------------------------------.-------- M ----- r ----- File-name Date Game Name/Company b e Info ------------ ------- ------------------------------------- --- --- --- ---- asg-also.lha . 21/95 ..

Fin Snes Points - - Sega Points - 1 ----- Total English Points = 1 Dragon Avenger - Whoever said Asgard released only gameboy/gamegear games was wrong! I think this is the first official snes game that this group has ever put out, i could be wrong, but if that is the case, good job guys and lets hope to see more from you in the future! Night Assassin - No earth shattering release, but it's a final, so nothing special to comment here. But keep it up! r/\\/e - My feelings exactly. when its dead as it has been every little bit helps. Some people have gotten way out of control with this, so its fair to that ASG did what they could this month. __ _____________.________________.____ / \\__ _\__ | | \__ / \ | / S / \| | | | _ |/ _/ | \_ _/ c Anthrox!- _/ /\ \_ | | | | |\ \_ | _/ | \_ o ----------\_____\__/_|__|__|__|__| \__/____\___|___/---------- M ----- r ----- File-name Date Game Name/Company b e Info ------------ ------- ------------------------------------- --- --- --- ---- atx-psqd.lha .. 1/95 ..

New Sega Points - 6 ----- Total English Points = 8 Dragon Avenger - This group just keeps on ticking.......Their new addition, which I will remind you is always jumping around from one group to another, Mad Turnip did a lot this month in terms of supplying, some good titles, we had all thought we had seen the last of this guy, but in good faith, he returned and did a good job, it is nice to see him back and kicking up with the Anthrox crew who never seem to quit.... Night Assassin - What a great month for ATX! 3 new releases and they all seem playable. Well anyways, it's been a slow month for the wares, and these guy(s) have showed us time and time again, they can supply, and with quality. A track record of releasing Secret of Mana, MK2 and Super Punch Out, what else do these guys have planned? r/\\/e - I guess its hard to keep a good group down. ATX can be called the Grandfathers of the scene. They have hung in there through alot of the worst times in the scene and continue to show us what they can do. Sigma Seven, who has always been close with team ATX, made a move to join them and seems to do his share and then some. PAN, TWK and Sigma have been key players in the scene for coding and if I were a coder, team ATX would be group to run with. Since I'm no coder, I'll just have to sit back, pick up a joypad, press start and PLAY! ____/________ ____________ /____ _/ ________ \_/ ___/ . \____ / \ S Cream! - / / / / /_ ___/_ \ \/ / c \_______/ \_____|_______|_|____\ \/____/ o ----------<-rS!-/______|--------/--------\_____\-------------- M ----- r ----- File-name Date Game Name/Company b e Info ------------ ------- ------------------------------------- --- --- --- ---- cre-brk2.lha . 17/95 ..

New Snes Points - - Sega Points - 2 ----- Total English Points = 2 Dragon Avenger - Confusion was a big word this month for this crew, their only title this month couldv'e been debated as to who got it out first, in all fairness our WHQ had it and they never checked(though Cream is known to check their on a usual basis in the past, why not this time???), but in any case it wasn't to say that SNK didn't check their WHQ either but it was apparent to me that because M2S fucked up, that it played a major factor in determining what happened, though in the end, i think both parties agreed in some favor that it was a tie, so I guess we'll leave it at that! Night Assassin - Ok, there was some confusion over this one, Cream or Sneakers? Well, I can not really tell since the SNK version was sent to the WHQ first and no-one checked it (from what I heard) But since M2S was down, who can really tell. I'm sure both versions work the same, so you guys decide for youselves. Both gets 2 points IMO. r/\\/e- Talk about confusion. This was just chaos, however I think its fair that CRE gets noted for the release as well as SNK. Shit happens sometimes and even I had to take some blame for the mix up. So its stands corrected. Now CREAM gets to show us what they have in store for the upcoming months. You got our attention the rest is on you. !eNf________ _____ _______ _________ __\ ____/____/___ \__/ ____/__\ _____/__ / _/ / / \___/__ / _/ / S Edge! - // /. / / / // / c /________ /_________ /_______ /________ / o -----------------\/---------\/-------\/--------\/------------- M ----- r ----- File-name Date Game Name/Company b e Info ------------ ------- ------------------------------------- --- --- --- ---- edg-strg.lha .. 9/95 ..

I like the determination, though when I woke up the next morning I was kinda shocked as to why, but questions are not to be answered! Night Assassin - Blah, once again, it's a final that everyone has played. So 1 point and you've made it to the English side of things. Hahah.. nice work Artic. r/\\/e- I finally had time to load up some of the files that EDGE put out over the past few months, and found some fun Playables and some crap. Thats just the way it goes. This month must have been a Japanese Holiday, because these "Importers" of the console scene didn't seem to spread as many titles as they have in the past few months. Also, there are other groups importing JAP-WARE. Which gives EDGE some competetion for a change. I want to see if they continue their consistency as in the previous months. Summer isn't here yet and there's more to come. Their English language release was nothing major, so It seems that EDGE is better at "Importing" Jap-ware, but I can't be too sure of that. :___|»»|__:»»|__ /\:_____:_____:___________ | ! | ! | Y | _ | __ | ____) ___) | | ¡ | | _ __)/___| | |____ \| S Numbers! - | ¡___|_____|_\_/ |_____\_____|__|||:+/ /| c |__|============/__|===========! ||!=/___\| o -----------`----------------------[FAZ!]--------------┤------- M ----- r ----- File-name Date Game Name/Company b e Info ------------ ------- ------------------------------------- --- --- --- ---- num-ds9.lzh .. 24/95 ..

Exo Squad, its about time we see this game, i have been hearing about this game for decades now, it was nice, the star trek game wasn't bad either, hey, all in all, for a slow month, they faired pretty well in my books, keep it up! See, I said good things about you, so now you can send me the free cd's you were offering me..hehehehe! Night Assassin - Boy, they come out from selling thier CD's and release some games. I wonder if these guys can keep it up? Well, 2 new releases for this slow month is not too bad. (BTW, hurry up with the CD's that everyone wants, ie PSX and Saturn!) r/\\/e- Just when I thought it was another one of the many "FOR SALE" .txt files, it turns out to be a legitimate release. Surprised the shit out of me. Well whats next NUMBERS? a greatest hits CD :) Although I hate the way the scene has become some Money hungry, I admit that these dudes provide a good service at a decent price. There seems to be alot of competetion out there these days so we may actually start seeing "price Wars". For the moment, NUMBERS have established themselves as leaders of the console warez compilation CD market. ___ _____________________________________ / / \____ \__ \____ \___ \____ \ | \/ / Paradox! - Mb/ | / | | / / | | | \ | | / S / __/ _ | \ \ _ | | \ | \ c / |/___|__|__|\ \_|__|______/___| /\__\ o -----------/____|------------\__\------------/__/------------- M ----- r ----- File-name Date Game Name/Company b e Info ------------ ------- ------------------------------------- --- --- --- ---- pdx-nbac.lzh . 18/95 ..

Night Assassin - Back from 2 months of no action, PDX proves to us once again that they're not dead! Well, good work and these guys have also got a good track record giving us NBA JAM :TE (Kinda disappointment) But it's great anyways... r/\\/e- EDGE picked up where PDX left off and it was a pleasant surprise see the PDX name in a directory listing. Not a bad game either, but nothing touches COACH K. Keep 'em coming and I'll keep on playing 'em. !eNf_______________________ ________/\_____ __\ _______/_ _ \__\ / / Sneakers! - /_______ / / / ___/ S /. / // / // / \_ c /_____________/____ /_____/______/\______/ o -----------------------------\/------------------------------- M ----- r ----- File-name Date Game Name/Company b e Info ------------ ------- ------------------------------------- --- --- --- ---- snk-ogre.lzh .. 1/95 ..

New Sega Points - 4 ----- Total English Points = 12 Dragon Avenger - The month was started off with a big bang, and that was what they were looking for, a good rpg to start it off and it just got the ball rolling for these fellas. I have already discussed the barkley game above in the Cream notes. As far as they are concerned, when they try, they don't let things pass. I had to like what Rave said below, it brings joy into SNK's eyes when someone like that who has been around can compare you to one of the BEST c-64 groups. Keep it up and remember there is nothing to prove anymore! Night Assassin - Yet another fine month for SNK. It's not just releasing that counts, but releasing the quality games. Ogre Battle is a very long awaited RPG (Well, for me at least) since I had the Japanese version when I had my Procomm! Well anyways, I can still remember the day that Final Fantasy III came out. This group have brought you the best in the RPG's and there's still Evermore & Chrono Trigger to come, we'll see what happens then! And be sure to tune in next month for some history making news. 8) r/\\/e- Sneakers has become sort of the ESI ( Eagle Soft Incorporated, for you non-c64 people ) of the Console scene. Consistent quality releases seem to be the SNK trademark. If you see a new release with the letters SNK, Just start Downloading and worry about what the file is later. They have also been the center of controversy when it comes to their views of other groups. and a whole list of other complaints from rival groups. Which is normal for any group that does what these dudes do. The truth is, THEY DELIVER. That's something thing few people can argue with. __________ _____________________ / ____ | | / \__ ___/ /\__. \ |/\| / | \| \CC!

They mean business, and they plan on being up there with the best from the impression they give all of us, nothing wrong with that, who wants to get spanked as CyberChrist said to me once! Night Assassin - What a way to come back from last month, (0 points BTW) But these guys do mean business, they can release the games from the help of Kamikaze (Hello Sam!) But why isn't his board in the NFO files? Hmm.. Well anyways BassMasters does have it's cult following (Like MJ games for the Asians) I'm sure the fishing fans will love you guys! Hehe.. r/\\/e- My first impression of SWAT wasn't too good. I like the "silent but deadly" approach. Although their releases were decent quality, their WORLD DOMINATION attitude was the last thing I wanted to see. Today things are different. I know a couple of the members and I've gotten over that first impression. This month was a good month for these dudes. They covered both SNES and SEGA with a couple of decent releases. In the last month their members list has gotten bigger. Does that mean that there will be even more releases? I guess there's only one way to find out for sure. This summer is supposed to be a good one for the 16 bit console machines, so I'm curious to see what these dudes have to offer. _ ________________ ___________. \\__ _ / _ \ ______ _| TRISTAR & | \__/ _/ _/____ \ | RED SECTOR S TRSI! - | \ \ \_ \ \ ª INC. c L_____/____\ /_______/__:_ PRESENTS o ---------==============\__/========================----------- M ----- r ----- File-name Date Game Name/Company b e Info ------------ ------- ------------------------------------- --- --- --- ---- trsi-sta.lzh . 23/95 ..

Let me remind you guys, its better not to release the game rather then dupe on them, we're not talking minutes or an hour or so, Ninja Warriors, Illusion of Time, they came out long ago, c'mon, everyone knew they came out long ago, all you had to do was to check up on a local bbs or find a bbs that had old files. In any case, you still show us that your around and not sitting back, i guess that was your strong point this month! Night Assassin - At first glance, I thought this game had come out already in English, but to my surprise, it didn't so they get the full points for this one. And plus, Ninja Warriors? C'mon! Delta put the final out ages ago! Oh one more thing, Stargate got 0 points because an English final had already come out, and if it's really necessary, how about in IPS? Well, anyways that's how I feel the game should be rated. No one really cares what language an action game is. r/\\/e- BAH! I hate to see things come to this. There are just too many ways to find out if a game has been out before. So duping a game is just plain stupidity. Yeah I know it happens once in a while and thats easy to understand, but Thats not what's happening here though. so once again, BAH!

Night Assassin - Hello? Bust a Move came out 2 months ago! And the funny thing was that the SNK version was a final! None the less, those Bubble Bobble characaters are fucking cute! Hehe.. I wonder if the SNES/SEGA is going to get the arcade classic? (Time to pull out the old Nintendo again!) r/\\/e- There should be rule against not having a file_id.diz ASCII/LOGO. It seems that its a sign of bad things. That's one of the first things a group works on before they ever release a game. Releasing a game thats 2 months old is a definite NO-NO. So my opinion is that this UNIT is DEFECTIVE. Send them back where they came from.

Spt Sega Points - 2 ----- Total Non-English Points = 7 Dragon Avenger - Well, they finally toppled and edged out Edge this month and they only had to do it with 4 titles, wow, i cannot remember the jap scene this slow at any time. Excite Stage was released by Cream and Atx at around the same time, it was hard to argue this one as well, but we were fair and gave you both the pts, though the rule of thumb is to check the WHQ's, preferably the one who is known to getting them, in this case Cream shouldv'e checked Atx's and Edge's Whq, cuz those are the 2 front runners in cases like these, Atx and Edge had the same problem at the beginning but it was solved in the same manner! Night Assassin - Anthrox proves to everyone that you can't stay on top forever! Knocking out Edge since Console World was started up again is something to brag about. But then again, these are Japanese games, and there were a few more additions to the Jap releasing competition. No total domination over the other groups, but it's a start, can they keep it up!? r/\\/e- ATX? or is it Sons of Boredom? either way, they have broken up the monopoly on JAP-WARE formerly held by EDGE. What are you guys doing? Selling military secrets to the japanese? :) I'm surprised that EXCITE STAGE wasn't given points! It just goes to show you, its hard to tell sometimes who was the first to release a game. Just for the record, I had the ATX version online and it stayed. So I don't consider it a dupe. ____/________ ____________ /____ _/ ________ \_/ ___/ . \____ / \ S Cream! - / / / / /_ ___/_ \ \/ / c \_______/ \_____|_______|_|____\ \/____/ o ----------<-rS!-/______|--------/--------\_____\-------------- M ----- r ----- File-name Date Game Name/Company b e Info ------------ ------- ------------------------------------- --- --- --- ---- cre-exci.lzh . 15/95 ..

It was nice to see the jap games spread out amongst different groups, keep on releasing! Night Assassin - Alright! Something that's worth playing! I remember the first version of Excite Stage last year, it was quite impressive. But, alas, I don't have a copier anymore so I don't know how this compares with Perfect 11. r/\\/e- A great game, just like last year. My only question is WHO should get credit for releasing it? I went by my own listing on this one and gave it to Anthrox. I don't give out the points here, so I could only go by what I saw on the boards. so my scores? CREAM 1 vs. SNK 0 and in this round CREAM 0 vs. ANTHROX 1. This is better than that stupid O.J Simpson trial. Maybe next month we'll see CREAM vs SWAT in a "who had it first" race :) Hang in there guys. !eNf________ _____ _______ _________ __\ ____/____/___ \__/ ____/__\ _____/__ / _/ / / \___/__ / _/ / S Edge! - // /. / / / // / c /________ /_________ /_______ /________ / o -----------------\/---------\/-------\/--------\/------------- M ----- r ----- File-name Date Game Name/Company b e Info ------------ ------- ------------------------------------- --- --- --- ---- edg-bfn2.lha .. 2/95 ..

But were they really trying, I know that certain priorities have arisen for the key members and the time is not in there schedule as it used to be, lets hope they can find the time again to keep the titles rolling, time to pull out those jap betas! Night Assassin - Hay look at the list. There is something different about this list. Oh yeah, now I know, it's not pages and pages! Heh, it was also a slow month for the Japanese wares as well, and these guys have done it before, I'm sure they can do it dominate once again. (But do they want to?) r/\\/e- Well looks like its not only the U.S and Europe that is seeing less software. Japan is on fading too. This month EDGE gets 3 out of 4. There could have been more but now we are seeing other groups steal a few Jap-titles, so that explains why EDGE has a short list of warez this month. Thats fine with me. Now I can go back and check out some more of those older EDGE imports that I didn't have time to load up in the past 2-3 months.

Night Assassin - I have no idea who these guys are, but it seems as if new groups spring up every month. Are these guys here to stay? Or are they one of those one hit wonders? (Well, actually, those games are nothing to talk about, but I like that phrase) r/\\/e- Anyone who can name the members of this group wins a free AT&T calling card heheh. I hate these mystery groups who have no .nfo to read. Anyway there's 2 more jap titles for your collection. Hey FLA are you coming back this month with more or was this a one time offer?

Night Assassin - Is this a slideshow? I'm too lazy to check, so if it is, no hurrays for you, but I don't know what's worse, a 100% Jap RPG or this? No hard feelings, but that's what I see here. r/\\/e- Fazwonga and his crew Old School get a chance to advertise their boards with this one. JAP-CRAP has a whole new meaning now. I wouldn't have minded so much if there weren't so many ads from that 1 bbs ( Ofcourse I won't give the name of the bbs. Since thats probrably just what the sysop wanted someone to do anyway.) When OS releases a good game they should put it out as OS/2 so we will know that its not more of these "strip 'em" games. __________ _____________________ / ____ | | / \__ ___/ /\__. \ |/\| / | \| \CC!

As things look right now, i think, you guys are gonna do pretty well in the jap scene......! Night Assassin - Alright! These boys/girls get duped for their first release! What a way to start the Jap scene. 8) (Only kiddin') Best of luck, but Edge beat you on this one by 11 days (Or so I've heard) And it's nothing special like a Megaman... r/\\/e- The name of the game is "GO FOR IT" and the SWAT team "WENT FOR IT" but they should have "CHECKED FOR IT" because this one was a "DUP-LI-CATE".

I don't have enough time to check everything! 8) Wow, too many groups pumping the Jap releases, to tell you the truth guys, I don't really give a damn who puts the unplayable stuff out. It's the gems like Megaman, Street Fighters, or Bubble Symphony (aka Puzzle Bobble) that we really look out for! r/\\/e- Another PUYO variation that isn't too bad for the kids if you can get them through the text screens. My biggest complaint once again is with the ads in there. C'mon is all that shit necessary? I'm not sure if its a TRSI bbs or not but its LAME! Cheers TRSI, a puzzle game that even I can beat.

Also my personal thanks go out to our co-editor Night Assassin for helping me on this venture. This month was very hard me to get motivated to write this, but in the end I looked back and said to myself, people are looking forward to this and i cannot let them down. Its been a long road since the days of this mag. when Fallen Angel used to write them, his commentary is definately missed by all, but hopefully he will come back for an issue or two, that remains to be seen, or you might have to leave him mail asking him to!! Hope you enjoyed reading this as we did writing it for you, until next month, peace! BTW: Greetz fly out to those who have been around the scene for a long time, the ones that started it all, the ones that are still doing it and to those are just beginning to start and to all those whom I know on this planet.......peace! -r/\\/e's final words : This was a very cool project, Thanks to Night Assassin for getting me to host Console world this month. I just wanted to tell everyone to KEEP THE CONSOLE SCENE ALIVE! cut out all the bullshit files and support the bbs' that you call. We always complain about how boring it is, but its only in our minds. Make it FUN. Play the games, Post those messages and stay active. thats the only way we can keep this shit going. The 32bit generation is here and its threating the scene. We don't have to go out like that. You can own a 32bit machine and still be a part of the console scene. ( Ask NA and all the others that do it). Big PHAT greets to the USERS of M2S and HOF. I'm sure eNNAY has a shitload of greetings to most of the same people I want to greet so consider those from r/\\/e too. Peace! and look for the upcomming BBS Review magazine. B.A.U.D Just a little something I worked on for the SYSOPS ( We got a tough job too you know! ) it should be out in the next few days or so. -eNNAY final notes : What a month for the console scene don't you think? The usual winners came out not on top and it has been quite a slow month, with only Ogre Battle to sooth our gaming minds. For the action junkies there was nothing really special out but Stargate which the scene got a chance to play ages ago. Kyle Petty Racing helped out the racing fans while NBA Action gave Sega players something to awe over. Also the Japanese section looked very diffused this month. Edge didn't domininate like they used to. But overall, it was a slow month for the Japanese games as well. Hmm.. well there is the summer coming along, and plenty of new titles to help bruise your fingers. Once again, I'd like to thank r/\\/e for his efforts this month, I'm sure his thoughts will not go unnoticed, and if you can, give his board a call, it's a model for what is good and what isn't. So there you go, and make sure you stayed tuned for next month's edition of Console World!!!
