But , well , it's more... I was playing today the HAPPY MUSIC ADVENTURE from HUDSON SOFT which was released today from my Group. This little Jump and Run game let me remember the old times when the Super Nintendo scene was overflown with cool games like this. It's one of those games when a Girl is captured and you have to rescue her (like Wonderboy etc.). It's hard to believe at this time how the scene came to a point like this. I don't know how many BBS were slammed down the last weeks and months, but I guess there were a lot.In the times of 1993 and 1994 was the big Boom in the consoles (especially the Japanese Scene boomed!) 1995 was also cool , and now in 1996...Well,it's nearly dead... This is what I feel coming up next. I started in Consoles some years ago. This was a time when nearly all people could call worldwide and Elite names were shown in the Last Callerslogs Of : * HALL OF FAME ( SYSOP : WING LEADER , SNEAKERS WORLD HEADQUARTERS ), * WET DREAMS ( SYSOP : SHREDDER , CENSOR WORLD HEADQUARTERS ), * DANSE MACABRE ( SYSOP : NOSFERATU , WORLD HQ OF TOO MANY GROUPS ), * END OF THE WORLD ( SYSOP : LAVIATHON , PREMIERE HEADQUARTER ), * NIRVANA ( SYSOP : NUISANCE "THE INDIAN SPIRIT" , PARADOX WORLD HQ), * REIGN IN BLOOD ( SYSOP : MICRO "SCOTT" , BASELINE HEADQUARTER ), * LAND O.CONFUSION ( SYSOP : WARDUKE "MIKE" , LYNCHMOB AND OTHER GROUPS' WORLD HEADQUARTERS ) , * THE GHETTO ( SYSOPS: RIP & ANDEVERON "MARQUIS" , LYNCHMOB WORLD HQ, FAIRLIGHT USHQ , PDX PC HQ ETC ETC.) , * HOUSE OF PAIN ( SYSOP : BLACK ROSE , PARADOX CONSOLE HQ ) * MIRAGE ( SYSOP : BIG BOSS , FAIRLIGHT WORLD HQ ) * UNLAWFUL ENTRY ( SKID ROW WORLD HQ , MASSES OF SYSOPS ) * ICE STATION ZEBRA( SYSOP : PROFESSOR , MINISTRY HQ ETC.) * WORLD CHAOS ( SYSOP : M/\STER B/\RD : GONE TO JAIL ) * TERMINAL FROST ( DYNAMIX & DELIRIUM WORLD HEADQUARTERS) * ROAD TO NOWHERE ( FAIRLIGHT , SABOTAGE HQ) * CENTRUM ( SYSOP : REeET "TOM" MON , PURE ELITE !) * HYSTERIA ( SYSOP : RADIO "SCOTT" ACTIVE , ELITENDO , LYNCHMOB HQ ) * PIRATES HAVEN ( SYSOP : NITRO , PDX OR WHAT THE HELL EVER HQ) * THE PIT ( ROMKIDS , TARKUS TEAM HQ ) * THE MORTUARY * DEAD ZONE ETC ETC. ETC... (Just to mention some of my FAVOURITE AND MOST BELOVED Boards worldwide.) On these boards all began for me and my trading activities and I am sure a lot of my old friends know me from these "MEMORIAL TIMES" ... It was also a big Competition who put the majors first on which Boards. So I will give some old regards to my friends of these times and just a few names which I never forgot as these were for example : MAXIMILIEN (PARADOX) , Zool (PARADOX) , Navigator (Prodigy) , Chucky (paradox) , MERY ( ROMKIDS , PDX) , HURRICANE (paradox) , RYGAR (LYNCH MOB) , Luke & Chuck (Fairlight) , Kitaro (Fairlight) , JBM ( Fairlight) , Enforcer (SNK) , TCM & JOKER (PARADOX) , Intreq (DIGITAL) , SpLaT! (Fairlight) , Da Vinci , KIRK , Fornax & Rotox! , The White Knight , Drizzt & Nico/PDY, Ultra (ALPHA FLIGHT), Schlappi (alpha flight) , Amok (DYNAMIX) , Blue Water /DNX, Sigma Seven , Mr.Rox , Crayor / LSD , Axe / Mystic , DCSL (Sysop: Danger Zone BBS) , Executer & Phreaker (Sysops: Secret World/ Reign in Blood), WOODY ( PARADOX ) , City Hunter (ACCUMULATORS) , g.E.m (ILLUSION) , Toyax ( ROMKIDS - well,that was Kimble ahah), Elvin (Quartex) , Doc Holliday ( ELITENDO) , The bugger , BamBam ( eLitendo ) , Dragon Avenger , Fallen Angel ,Night Assassin , XAD (nightfall),Slapshot & mymurth (premiere) ETC ETC ETC.. Devious Doze , artic Cat (edge)... Well, some of them are still active and I for sure forgot some names , but these are just a few which I remembered lately so I counted them together in an affection of Brain Storming... Okay,well it was a cool time and I dunno why today is the day when I remember this. But it was too cool to forget that, and so I just wanted to mention that here. It was great calling Nirvana BBS and saw ca. 6 guys leeching PDX Console games which were uploaded directly from ZOOL or MAXIMILEN... 5 minutes later you saw them also on Danse Macabre , Land of Confusion and Menace to Society. It was hard to make creditz with PARADOX releases this time , coz' PDX got like 5 or 6 good traders which supplied the Worlds Fastest BBS. (or they made the BBS to the world's fastest with supplying them so quick) .Anyway it was fun and competition and as I tried to call German Boards to upload these wares , It was sometimes too late to do that, coz' some crazy dudes like WOODY from Australia or some US guys uploaded them first in germany ( like BlueWater uploaded all that stuff on Berlin's Schizophrenia BBS!). The best european Boards (just to mention) were : Ectoplazm (Scoopex , Sysop Necronom) , Danger Zone BBS , Schizophrenia, Secom City , Secret World , Blob's Island , Down Town , Ultra Box.... and the BBS from SARGOR / DNX , FORNAX (TRSI)... and a few more... One German Bust make all those dreams down as they took ca. 50 BBS in germany on one evening. They never came back... What do we have now... As mentioned, nearly all BBS are down now , the only one which is still online is USS ENTERPRISE. I don't know what is with Menace to Society (and Rave) , but as I called three weeks ago there was just 3 or 4 or maybe 5 and 6 calls per day.( Imagine that this BBS counted at least to the world's fastest with 56 calls a day!!!). As I called some days ago it was down and this since 3 weeks now...Menace 2 Society was the best Alternative when LOC and Hall of Fame and the few others gone down. Well, I guess the most problem is the one to call out. I can't remember when I was able to call out in the past , but it lies a long time back. I suppose that this is the reason why the most guys in USA closed their BBS and I hope that Breakdown will stay up with TOTALLY NUKED BBS,as I know that a lot of people want to call it , but can't ... Nowadays it looks like there are just some groups left which can contribute to the scene... Look in the directories of the last month. There you see just ANTHROX & SWAT ( just 2 Entries), OLDSKOOL , ARCADIA , ASGARD ( 2 Trainers from Zigor), NIGHTFALL , Bad karma (fixes) , Hooligans (Also some fixes).....and Cream with one game....and NAPALM (bored of being back ?) Question is : How many dudes are really still behind these Big Names ? Nightfall : Popcorn , Xad Hooligans : MightyMuz Badkarma : Dunno who did the patches.. A & S : TWK , SIGMA SEVEN OLDSKOOL : GreenLegend , Faz! , AgEL,Turrican & some Internet Freaks. Napalm : WildFire Arcadia : The Three Stooges Cream : dunno , maybe Papillon , DK or Vaffel Killer Well, this is just not guilty for all the time , but it's a fast counter for End of March/April.... Okay,sometimes some others contribute still to the scene like Son Doobie and a lot of USA guys which call USS.. but it's really hard to believe that just those few are left...Look at my little greeting list from the past. Those names were just a handful of guys who liked the Scene and there were dozens more... I run the Freek World BBS (which was more a frustrated joke at the begin) and I also noticed that a lot of callers are inactive now ... I never would have believed that I run the BBS where most of the Super Nintendo or GAMEBOY games were uploaded first. (This also counts for march/ April), but it's surely a fact now.... Dunno what else to say.. I just will continue with the charts and hope you remember the times when all was more funny .... (and for sure you will).... A last word : If some of the old guys is still active and reads this here he should call me up at my BBS. It's also one of the last Console only places where you can pick up the new games fast & first. If you have not the number and NUP , simply make a MAILSCAN on USS ENTERPRISE in the Super Nintendo area..There you will find it.... Cheers , see you later , playa hata.... Whoops! This is more a big Letter , but it should start the Charts for me! ==================== sIGNED... Fazwonga! ==================== Zigor: Thanx for Faz and his little 'Back To The Future' text ehehe, We might feature more on the past scene more in a later issue since many freeks like to remember those cool times (I know I do!) but for now, you can check out the great RetroScan (Later in this Mag!) Son D: Faz!, Do you want a tissue?

Things seem to be picking up slowly, At least we had more playable games this month and the trainer guys also seem to be back to kick Ass! Anyway.. I kinda like the Console scene right now, It reminds me of 1992 and the START of the scene, with just active guys and true console freeks involved. Greetings to these dedicated fiends and lovers! -=- Faz!: Okay , coming back from my Memorial thoughts I will enter the May Charts now. We saw that a lot of things happen this month and looks like some guys from the past came back to enter the Competition Ring. It's a hard time for the Snes and especially the SEGA ,but some games will still come out so we all stay tuned. I chatted to "The 7A3" from "SNEAKERS" and he told me ,that RAVE is down with his BBS Menace 2 Society and wants to come back maybe (I HOPE THAT !) if the Ultra 64 is out and maybe some new Scene guys will appear , btw: when the Scene restarts. EBOLA ( THE CRACKIN' LTD ) was busted. His BBS "NEED FOR SPEED" is down now and they took all his Hardware with him. Ebola was at least a cool guy which has a BBS featuring anything Console can give. He had all old PC ENGINE , JAGUAR , LYNX and at least all SNES and SEGA wares online. I hope the Police won't be so hard , but I guess they will, since he had a lot of things there. (ALSO his CD BURNER as he wanted to sell latest Copies). That really sux... We don't saw much from ANTHROX and SWAT this month , and nothing from SION or SNEAKERS... I hope they all will find a way back to release some good wares lately! -=- Son D: Maybe we should all try harder to keep the console scene alive rather then go and leave the console scene and join that damn pc scene. Like we all need a 54 disk cd rip on how to brush your teeth and shit like that.. As reading Faz's comments above. I was also quite surprised at r/\\/e closing down his board. I mean, I would log on and see that he was so into the console scene. I was only on there for about 7 months, Got a little trading in, Spread some messages and so fourth. I kinda knew that he was going to bring Menace ][ Society down when he posted a message a few months ago asking people what they thought about Menace being brought down. I liked the board though. I also like it when i would see Mega pumping up the newest SONIC releases up. It was a pretty cool place. But near the end, If you were like me and alot of other people calling there, You would have noticed that there was about only 5 calls on average a day. I don't think that it was because people didn't care to call. I think it was because there was nothing much coming out rather then the Japanese stuff and the fact that not many people could call out to USA anymore. Anyways, I saw the message r/\\/e put up on Deathrow telling about him leaving and about how he was closing down the board. He said that he would put his board up again when and *IF* there is a Ultra 64 ( or whatever the name of the system is now ) scene. Anyways, I wish r/\\/e luck in what his future choices are. But... Enough of this, the E3 is next week and we will see more releases and hopefully more groups getting back into things. So let's get started with the charts! :) -=- Sigma was unable to comment 'cos he is on vacation (Hopefuly back next month).

Someone has to keep the link with the Far East and this month it was Arcadia, So Grrreat!. Anyway, Personal favourites have to be.. Saisoku Battle Race, Form Soccer'96, New Yatterman Dream Island, Happy Music Adventure (Of Course eheh!) and the great Excite Stage'96. 'Power Pigs' was cool to see (At last!!) I thought the final would never arrive, Since the very-much-beta was out about 1.5 years ago!! Also, It was nice to see some Gameboy titles and a strange suprise to see 'Nettou Toshinden' (The PSX 3d fighting game goes 2d and Green!!). Faz!: Okay, hide and seek is over. ARCADIA is a new group to start off and enter the Competition.It was my idea to build up a new group which only should release major games. With agreement from Zigor we both started the first releases under this Label and we hope some more wares and good games will follow.Looks like April was a fucking great month for us. Anyway Herozero joined as Intro Maker , TCB from Belgium and Ghost Face Killer (USA) R now in and that's cool. To comment some games: Happy Music advnture (C) Hudson Soft is a great Platform Game featuring MILON which we all know from MILON'S SECRET CASTLES on GAMEBOY (and an old NES game) He is a real cool Hero in Japan and has there popularity like KIRBY or MARIO. Power Piggs of the Dark Age is also a very neat game and the other wares are also cool releases... Cut throat Island is not that Hit on gameboy , but still a Major ware from Akklaim which had to be released. Okay , hopefully ARC won't go down like other new groups did before!

Well, Its cool that ASGARD is still active! Son D: I don't know why people are having trouble running this game. I have a NTSC snes and it ran fine when i fixed it with the prized SNESTOOL for all those pc owners.. I remember last year when QSR released the sega version.

I believe they came from another package from Japan which was for an Emulator os something, So its not known if anymore games will appear or not. I hope so because there were so many great and playable games on the NES.. Give us some more!! Faz!: Those NES games are really fine. I just wondered that not anything else was coming from ANTHROX AND SWAT , I guess there was a cool basketball game NCAA 96 (The season is over , but where was the game!?). Would be cool if some will find back to release some good games! Son D: Pretty cool Anthrox.. Now were these off the net or did TWK + PAN re-code these games? I also want some real cool 'ol games like Contra+Zelda+Metroid to come out.. People , Someone put those out! Anyways, I thought that they were cool.. Ed: They were Converted and Trained from a small archive off the Internet! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - .

In this business you can't afford to miss anything since there is always someone else around the corner ready to pick up the pieces! Anyway, It was a funny game and I was suprised nobody trained it. Faz!: A cool game , of course. Looks like the Trainermakers are a bit tired at the time. Would be cool to see some more wares from CREAM , i think they had better times ago.

Faz!: I remembered WIZARD calling my BBS , leeching a game and upload the trainer some minutes after that. Cool work... Looks like Speedy G and Wizard's calling times are again blowing in the wind , so they stopped training again ? Or maybe we will see again some more in the future. I hope so!

'High Speed 2' is a nice playable pinball game and they even released the Docs ith it!! Worms is also cool but I found it really difficult to play, since the on-screen graphics were really small, Great release though.. Faz!: Cool work from RiP , as I was too lazy and bored to grab Worms.This game is a Disappointment on GB. I hope that it will be cooler on SNES or SEGA. Anyway cool to see MOM every month with a Surprise. Son D: It would also be cool if the would bring out Worms for the snes/sega too.. this one is certainly better then the 54 disk pc NON-WORKING version.

Faz!: Well , Zigor it just means that WILDFIRE lives in a "Time-Hole". He came out of the Past to grab some games of the future.And then he goes again back. It's a cool to make some fast Trainers! Congratulations! Hopefully we see some more soon! Son D: Wildfire is just laying low.. Making the simple trainers that people requested. Chilling out playing his Playstation and Saturn. A week ago, I was playing him in Duke 3d.. And to tell you the truth, He is fucking good at those type of games. A word of advice though.. NEVER, I repeat NEVER play Wildfire in Doom!

Faz!: Thanks to Nightfall for doing cool trainers everytime.I guess there were a few more titles to train, but the Major Arcade Games got their Trainer... A level Select for Happy Music Adevnture could have been cool coz' I havent made it to the 3RD level...

It will be interesting to see what happens in the month of May.. Stay Tuned and find out! Faz!: Well, without any doubt it was the month of ARCADIA. Looks like it was a good idea to found a new group and some dudes really luv it. I think that some more groups should now think about their BREAK and should return to the scene to do some competition as it is just one or two months ago when Anthrox & Swat's name stand on Place Numero Uno. I hope that May will show again that the 16 Bit Scene will still live and that we see some more Entries in the RESULTS. So , lets see what Sunny (hopefully) May will bring us! Son D: I was happy to see alot ( more then the last few months ) of console coming out, and also the fact that Arcadia kicked some ass for their first month of being in the scene.. good work to all others too who were still trying to do something for the console scene... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - .

Over to you, Faz!... Faz!: The game was fixed by POPCORN/NFL for me since you can't get that game to work (in case of a bank corruption) , also EDGE re-released it I remembered!

A USA title NOT released by SNK or MAGIC.. That IS a suprise!! Nothing much to say, It was just a lame T*HQ game (When will they hire some REAL coders and stop using Monkeys or whatever they got now!) Faz!: Well, it was one of the last USA finals CREAM pushed out. I am a TOTAL REN & STIMPY fan , they really rule. I still play that games in depressed hours. hehe! Son D: 'Stimpy you EEEDIOT!'

A One-Release group (Or Guy) I think.. Anyway, the PAL version of this game is called 'Fever Pitch Soccer' and was released later.. Faz!: This game was really great and I was also surprised to see it released by unknown guys... This shows that there are some Gaps in USA to fill and that made place for Competition! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [MISC] .

Faz!: Hong Kong 97 is *THE WORST* game i ever played. But someone had to release it. haha , Izzy is really cool... Son D: Hong Kong '97 is what is REALLY going to happen when it hit's there.. Picture it now.. Jackee Chan's twin brother fighting off Mao's vile red army? Having to kill all 1.2 billion red chinese? Cool concept! haha.. Just don't buy this on cart man, ( as if ).
