Recreate your version of the world's greatest cities ││ using landscapes such as San Francisco or Berlin nd landmark buildings ││ like the Empire State Building or Big Ben. To put your stamp on your :│ city, create your own unique buildings using the SimCity Building :│ Architect Tool. Then zoom in close to your metropolis as it comes to .│ life with people and traffic in living color and full 3D sound. All new │ missions and cool disasters test your abilities to run your city or even :│ destroy it. For more challenges, negotiate and barter with neighboring │ cities to strengthen your metropolis. .│ │ SimCity 3000, the city is yours thanks to ORiGiN. │ │ │ │ . Release Notes: │ It seems there was a BETA version of this game floating about the net │ . a while ago. Well we would like to point out that this version of Sim │ City 3000 is NOT, we repeat NOT that version. This is the FINAL version. .│ : You can confirm this by calling Maxis and asking them if the QA team for │ : the game are still testing it. The answer will be "NO". This is becuase as :│ │ our EA source claims, that all the QA people were sacked the day the game │ │ went FINAL GOLD. This is the FINAL version of the game. Any differences .│ │ you may encounter with any other version will be due to duplicating :│ │ pressing process. There will be no GAMEPLAY differences. This is the :│ │ FINAL SALES version, learn to handle it. ││ │ ││ │ ENDUSER: Oh no OGN released a game over the limit! ││ │ A: No we didn't. ││ │ ENDUSER: But its over the Faction 50 * 2.88MB disc limit? ││ │ A: Yes, but ORiGiN is not part of the Fucktion and does not have to adhere ││ │ to any lamo rules. ││ │ ENDUSER: But will it not be counted as a legit release? ││ │ A: We are not here to please fucktion people, we are here to release. ││ │ If people do not want this game then it is upto them, they do not have ││ │ to take it. We shall not tell people what they can and cannot have on ││ │ their sites unlike the fucktion who try to dictate to the scene. ││ │ ENDUSER: But you said you would keep to the 50 file limit did you not? ││ │ A: Yes we did back then, but as we have stated we are not part of the ││ │ fucktion and thus can change policy at anytime without having to ││ │ consult two other lamers. Also the fucktion BREAK their rules anyway ││ │ like with BREAKS such as Half-Life BETAS and shit. ││ │ ENDUSER: This is true, but we expect more from ORiGiN. ││ │ A: And you shall get more QUALITY releases from ORiGiN. Thats for sure. ││ │ In short if you do not want a 50+ disc major then thats upto you. ││ │ We have not tried to hide the fact that its over 50 files, we stated it ││ │ all above. Most of the time we shall try and keep to OUR old limit. ││ │ But we have never been into RAPING games as that would be a > SIN < ││ │ So, if it trickles over the 50 files now and again and its a major ││ │ ORiGiN will do it for you people out there who love great games :) ││ │ Remember OGN is not part of the DYSFUNCTIONALS so we do not have to ││ │ abide by their lameass REDNECK SKILLESS rules. And if you do not like ││ │ it you can go play some horsy game or your Half-Life beta breaks :P ││ │ ENDUSER: Oh I see, only asking you know, sorry to bother you, NO CARRIER. ││ │ A: Nuff said, now go play. ││ │ ││ │ ││ │ ││ │ JTS News: ││ │ Yes my friends, its SLAGGING time! And this releases slag meat is SKILL ││ │ dictator leader of CLASS and the person who publishes Just The Facts. ││ │ SKILL, not content with his crew CLASS ruling the horsy game releasing ││ │ scene. Has decided to use his idea JTF as a propaganda machine for ││ │ promoting his group. This would not be so, bad. Except he does not put ││ │ his name on the charts and claims that they are independent and ││ │ objective. So, how do we know he does the charts? Well even his own ││ │ group members say so! The code was even coded by a CLS member ATM for ││ │ SKILL. As he cannot code himself (LAMER). SKILL is the lamer behind ││ │ JTF. ││ │ ││ │ Now let us examine the propaganda he uses to make his group number #1 ││ │ month after month in JTF. Last month in December 98 Origin released the ││ │ most awaited major games and many other releases. Yet we finished ││ │ second by some way! We was very surprised by this so, we decided to ││ │ look at how these charts were calculated to see if it all added up. ││ │ First of all we were surprised to see the scores given for the games ││ │ we released. ││ │ For example, Football Masters 99 got 4.5 points, where as Player ││ │ Manager 98-99 a similar game got only 4.0 points. Maybe because FM99 ││ │ is a superior game? No, actually it’s inferior. A better score would ││ │ be FM99 4.0 points and PM98/99 5.0 points. But then what would Skill ││ │ know about games from LIMEY land. It’s so long since he had any! We ││ │ also thought the score for Magic and Mayhem was a bit stingy as well, ││ │ it deserves at least 8.0 points. And Starsiege: Tribes is of course ││ │ a major and should have got 7.5 points at least if not more! The ││ │ inaccuracies within Skills bullshit confounded us more, when he ││ │ managed to forget all about our Thief trainer that we did. This shows ││ │ the lack of care for other groups work. Also the biggest thing that we ││ │ laughed at was his minus points for the Gangsters Trainer fix. Well, ││ │ this makes us laugh as many trainers get released these days that do ││ │ not work correctly if at all and at least we bothered to re-release ││ │ it. But that’s not why we laugh. We laugh because it BREAKS his own ││ │ rules. As it clearly states points will be deducted for GAME releases, ││ │ not trainers. In other words he cannot keep to his own bullshit. ││ │ No changes there from SKILL gimp then. But the biggest surprise was ││ │ our Pinky & The Brain release. We had called the company that made ││ │ this game and they said themselves that it was Adultware. So, this ││ │ is obviously a piss-poor attempt at fixing the points so CLS can win. ││ │ As it’s the only way they could that month. His fixing even by his own ││ │ fucked up rules lost Origin at least 9 points if not more that month. ││ │ Which would have made Origin the top group for that month, by his own ││ │ fucked up rules of course. ││ │ ││ │ Now let us examine the same treatment he applies to his group CLS. ││ │ Biggest surprise was the score for War of the Worlds it got 8.5 points. ││ │ Apparently according to SKILL this is same as our Thief which was ││ │ voted Innovative Game of the Year 1998 by the TRG readership ││ │ (Review scores which he also publishes). Well we have to say that this ││ │ game is nowhere near as good as Thief, it’s not even in the same ││ │ ballpark. We would give it the same score as our Rival Realms a ││ │ similar game which got 7.0 points and that’s being fucking generous. ││ │ Next is Snowmobile Racing a game with only 4 levels, thus we give it ││ │ one point for each level, unlike his whopping 5 points. The next joke ││ │ is Top Gun: Hornet's Nest also from CLS with 8 points. Well this game ││ │ is not regarded as major flight sim by anyone except SKILL. Where as ││ │ our Ultra Fighters got 7 points, we shall give it the same. In the ││ │ past when ORIGIN has released Hunting games SKILL has given them only ││ │ 3 points, but when CLS released Trophy Buck guess what? Yes that’s ││ │ correct 5.5 points. Well now that we know hunting games are getting ││ │ full points we decided to release one this month and we expect full ││ │ points like Trophy Buck got for our NFK release =]. Not to mention ││ │ Carnivores also a hunting game from CLS got a 6 MASSIVE points. And ││ │ then we come to Luftwaffe Commander another flight sim getting 8 ││ │ points, I think we shall have to reduce that to the usual 7 points ││ │ please :P. ││ │ ││ │ But the biggest lame fuck up from REDNECK SKILL is giving CLS points ││ │ for their RECOIL trainer and then stating PDMs admission that its ││ │ BETA. Surly this trainer cannot count as it’s for the beta version? ││ │ As we can see it does. Why is this a fuck up? Well if fixes for ││ │ trainers get minus points then a re-release for the RECOIL trainer ││ │ will have to occur for the FINAL version, thus CLS have lost points ││ │ for this lame attitude by SKILL GIMP. As they say what goes around ││ │ comes around. But OGN will not be as mean as we believe mistakes ││ │ happen so, in our view its no points gained and no points lost! ││ │ Thus CLS would have had 5 less points as a result. ││ │ ││ │ The scores originally presented by SKILLESS came too: ││ │ CLASS +70.5 ││ │ ORIGIN +65.5 ││ │ PARADIGM +53.5 ││ │ ││ │ With adjusted sensible scores and a -20 points for CLS because ││ │ of Skills CHEATING lameness at trying to make CLS #1 every month ││ │ because he’s a leader, the score now comes to a sensible: ││ │ ORIGIN +74.5 ││ │ PARADIGM +53.5 ││ │ CLASS +45.5 ││ │ ││ │ Also I am sure if PDM and RZR checked their releases over the ││ │ month/year they would find SKILL LAMER has fucked them on a regular ││ │ bases. Now some may say this is sour grapes by OGN, well its not. ││ │ And it seems we are not the only ones who think his charts are ││ │ REDNECK crap. Because even his own friends in CLS do not rate his ││ │ poor excuse for charts, PROZAC has stated he wants to start his own ││ │ charts. At least he has the guts to put his name on them! ││ │ ││ │ There will be the usual crap in JTF next month about how SKILL ││ │ lamer is not the guy and rubbish like "oh no mon ami it is not ││ │ poor Mr Skill" and so on. But it is a known fact in the scene that ││ │ he publishes that piece of trash. ││ │ ││ │ JTF = SKILL = LAME REDNECK FUCK. ││ │ ││ │ Just The Facts? More like, Just The F00L! ││ │ ││ │ ││ │ CYPHER (Becuase you once said you could handle me :P). ││ │ ││ │ ││ │ Ripped (Not Raped): ││ │ ││ │ ││ │ ││ │ LIMEYS'R US ││ │ ││ └──·· ·· ··───-───-────·· · ·────────-─-────[ o r i g i n ]─┴┘ ┌─────-─·· · ·───────-───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ ■ INSTALL INFORMATiON ■ │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐│ :│ Unpack the files, to a dir! .│ │ .│ . :│ : ││ │ ││ └──·· ·· ··───-───-────·· · ·────────-─-────[ o r i g i n ]─┴┘ ┌─────-─·· · ·───────-───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ ■ GROUP NEWS & GREETINGS ■ │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐│ ││ ORiGiN NEWS: ││ ─-───·· · ────────·· · ││ ORiGiN is STILL looking for a GOOD HARDWARE supplier. :│ :│ ORiGiN will always PAY back the full retail cost of any original supplied .│ to the group.
