And what a month it has been, with │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ 33 releases, slightly less than last November, but still │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ impressive for the dead format we all love. Some of the most │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ awaited titles were released this month, The hugely hyped Donkey │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ Kong 64 finally made it's appearance, along with the plain huge │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ Resident Evil 2, having taken a overly long time to come from │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ the Playstation. │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ Things in the "Scene" took a bad turn this month with a │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ large amount of fighting between scene members, and general bad │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ feeling being created. │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ A lot of controversy was generated over the release of Tom │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ Clancy's Rainbow Six, with The Corporation claiming they had │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ released the game first, well before the International Network │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ of Chaos release, they also claimed that members of the │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ International Network of Chaos had packet flooded and other dirty │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ tricks The Corporation members to ensure that their release was │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ first, whilst strangely International Network of Chaos members │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ said exactly the same about The Corporation.... │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ In this case International Network of Chaos got the release │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ as their release was on more sites before The Corporation │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ release, in fact there was as two hour gap on one of the major │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ sites. Members of The Corporation complained that their release │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ was on The Corporation WHQ before the International Network of │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ Chaos release was spread, and as such they "won" the release. │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ It should be plain to everyone that "just" having the release │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ on a groups HQ is not the same as having it spread, plus it │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ makes it easy for any underhanded filedate tampering to take │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ place, for this reason it is seems we need to specify the rule │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ on dupes we use in compiling this chart once more. │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ Should more than one group release the same game simultaneously │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ whichever version of the release that makes it to the major FTP │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ sites first is deemed as being the first release.

First up we have NBA Courtside 2 which │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ manages to avoid the usual trend of most developers, taking last │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ years code and making a few minor updates. Also from Aggression │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ this month is the long-long awaited Donkey Kong 64 which proved │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ to be not as bad as expected, however the whole game is too │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ similar to Banjo Kazooie to be the gaming revolution Nintendo │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ seem to be determined the game is. Not only are many of the │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ sound effects taken from the bird/bear classic but many of the │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ levels seem strangely familiar, Creepy Castle is Mad Monster │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ Mansion, Angry Aztec is Gobi's Valley, and Fungi Forest if │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ practically identical to Click Clock Wood, right down to the │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ day/night system that replaces the four seasons. However │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ there is a lot to recommend the game, from the fantastic │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ lighting on display in some levels, to the sheer scale of the │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ game, which will keep many people returning to the game to │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ collect everything. │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░└──════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──┘░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░ ░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░┌──═( CRAZY NATION )═══════════════════════════════════════════════──┐░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ --───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────--- │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ Toy Story 2 USA/NTSC *+4 trainer* │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ Activision 15/11/99 CZN-TS_4.ZIP [ 2 ] │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ --───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────--- │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ Rocket:Robot On Wheels USA/NTSC *+5 trainer* │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ Sucker Punch 18/11/99 CZN-RE_5IP [ 2 ] │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ --───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────--- │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ Namco Museum 64 USA/NTSC *+4 trainer* │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ Namco 21/11/99 CZN-NM_4.ZIP [ 2 ] │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ --───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────--- │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ Army Men:Sarges Heroes USA/NTSC *+8 trainer* │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ 3DO/Cyclone Studios 27/11/99 CZN-ASH8.ZIP [ 2 ] │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ --───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────--- │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ Paperboy 64 USA/NTSC *+5 trainer* │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ Midway / High Voltage 27/11/99 CZN-PBY8.ZIP [ 2 ] │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ --───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────--- │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ [ 10 ] │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ Crazy Nation make a major comeback this month with 5 new │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ trainers for those of us who feel the need to cheat. While the │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ Toy Story 2 trainer helped improve the game, making it more │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ accessible, the rocket on wheels trainer potentially ruined the │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ game, by giving the player all the extra abilities from the │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ start it removed a lot of the challenge from the game, and also │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ left the player not knowing which extra abilities they had or how │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ to use them. The Namco Museum trainer was notable for ignoring │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ a trainer for Pole Position. The last two trainers of the month │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ for Army Men and Paperboy proved useful for those of us still │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ playing the games from last month.

First release of the month is │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ the American version of the excellent but frustrating Rayman 2, │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ which will allow the American among us to join in the annoying │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ platform action. Ready 2 Rumble proves to be a nice but boring │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ port from the original Dreamcast port from the PC. The │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ Corporation manage to bring what could be two of the most │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ awaited games in the Nintendo 64's history, these being Elmo's │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ Number Journey and Elmo's Letter Adventure, both of which will │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ no doubt be well received by the small children among us. │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ Completing the hat trick of basketball games this month is NBA │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ Showtime:NBA on NBC and NBA Live 2000, and it's still a mystery │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ to me why Nintendo seems to think we need 3 basketball games │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ in one month. Keeping up the unwanted release theme is WWF │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ Wrestlemania 2000, yet another in a long line of 'restling │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ games that can only appeal to the mental subnormal who believe │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ that this sort of "sport" is real, and the homosexual who enjoy │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ watching big fat men grope each other. The massive and long │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ awaited Resident Evil 2 was finally released this month and The │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ Corporation managed to release a working version two days after │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ their bad dump, but more of that later, the game proved to be │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ a very very nice port from the PSX original and a tribute to the │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ power of Nintendo 64 and inventiveness of the programming team │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ that they managed to fit 2 Playstation CD's into a 512mbit │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ cartridge. It was also nice to see the game running in hires, │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ and not the lowres block-o-vision the PSX version now seems to │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ be. Turok:Rage Wars seems to of caused a lot of confusion in │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ American with people thinking it was Turok 3, when in fact it's │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ a quick and easy multiplayer rip off of Turok 2... consider it │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ as a multiplayer only level add-on pack for Turok 2, as the │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ single player mode is basically a waste of yours and your │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ Nintendo 64's time. Final release of the month from The │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ Corporation is Namco Museum 64 which is another quick and Easy │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ rip off, this time of the 6cd Playstation set of Namco classic │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ arcade games. Included in this collection are Pacman, Ms │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ Pacman, Galaxians, Dig Dug and Pole Position, all fairly │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ accurate versions of the arcade originals and fun for a while │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ (if your a fan of the games) but a little pointless if you have │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ played MAME on your PC (or the n64 version which included all │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ these games bar Pole Position). │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ This month also marked a particularly bad month for releases │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ from The Corporation, Their initial release of Resident Evil 2 │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ contained only half the data from the original cartridge, │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ something that should of been plain from the fact that when │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ zipped the ROM was less than 256mbit. It took two days for the │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ group to come up with a new correct dump, and strangely │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ contained the same .NFO/.DIZ and no mention of the fact that │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ original dump was corrupt.

The next │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ release from Menace proved to be the very interesting Morita │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ Shogi 64, originally released during April 1998, many people │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ thought the cartridge to be undumpable due to it having a built │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ in modem to allow network play. The game infact proved to be │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ quite playable in the practise mode, and will maybe keep some │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ code hackers happy while they poke around in the code. Final │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ release from Menace this month, is the deeply Japanese and │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ very strange Yakouchuu II:Satsujin Kouru, which is a follow up │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ from the SNES original, and is totally unplayable unless you are │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ a fluent Japanese speaker/reader. The game is a first person │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ horror/mystery RPG set on board a ocean liner, I'm sure that │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ someone will enjoy this game.

Game of the month this month has to be the superlative │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ Rocket:Robot on Wheels, which despite being semi corrupt in one │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ level proved to be a very involving game which I spent many an │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ happy hour in front of. While it was a hard choice this month │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ to pick the game of the month with Donkey Kong 64 also proving a │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ very addictive game, and Resident Evil 2 proving to be diverting │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ for those of us who had not already played the Playstation │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ original to death. I also enjoyed playing Toy Story 2 which │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ despite it's basic looking graphics and annoying music proved │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ to be entertaining, and strangely addictive. Also the excellent │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ fighter Fighting Cup Maniax is deserving of some consideration │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ for those of us wanting to expunge our violent streaks. │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ While a lot of people have written off the Nintendo 64 as a │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ dead format, next month looks like it could be another excellent │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ month for releases in the lead upto Christmas, A large number │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ of Japanese titles are due to be released during December, lets │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ hope that one of the big groups can manage to bring them to us, │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ and lets hope that all the corrupt releases and dupes are now │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ behind us, and December will be a peaceful if slightly Hectic │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ month of all the groups in the scene. │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ As usual, if you have any comments or would like to point │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ out any mistakes, please drop me an email at [email protected] │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ RedboX │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ ([email protected]) │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░│ │░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░└──════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──┘░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░▒▓▐ ▌▓▒░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░▒▓▐ @BEGIN_FILE_ID.DIZ ┌──── ▄▄▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▓█▀ ▀ ∙∙──[NOVEMBER 99]─┐ │ ▄▀▀▀ ▀▓▄ ▓██ ▄▓▀▀ | :▄▀ ▀▓█▌░░░ ▓█▄ ▀██▀ │ ■ ▓█▌░░░░▐▓▓ ▄▓██▄ Dextrose │ : ▐▓▓█ ░░ ▓█ ▄▓█ ▀▓█ presents : │ │ ▐▓███▌▄▄▀ ▄▓█▀ ▓█ │ │ ▀▀▀▀ ▓█▀ ▀▌ │ │ ▀ │ │ [· Dextrose Release Charts Issue #19 ·] │ : | └∙∙───────────────────────────────────────────' @END_FILE_ID.DIZ _ _ _ _ _ _ / \ ╖/(_____ sIMPLY tO gOOD fOR yOU! _____)\╖ / \ <- THE LOS ENDOS BULLETIN BOARD SYSTEM -> \ _____ _____ / ╖\( sIMPLY tO fAST for yOU! )/╖ \_ _ _ _ _ _/
