Most of you know what happened,in fact, all of you so-called elites SHOULD know exactly what has happened. In any case I am here to fill in and add my in-depth surgery of the situations of all these events for the month of August. A brief description will be that, we saw 2 of the oldest groups in the scene bulk up with some power by adding new members from existing groups, which I will say shocked a lot of us. Though Anthrox and Swat still have not come up with a name for their newfound merged group, it still remains a mystery for some of us if they will do that or if they will keep up the trend by releasing under A&S?????~ Whatever the case may be, congrat's and good luck to them on their new adventure. However, Sneakers and Napalm came to an agreement which was hard to make but it was one that had to be made, I can honestly say that I have tons and tons of respect for these guys from Napalm for comprimising with Sneakers. Besides this news, we didn't see much of a slow down this month for the big groups, everyone showed up to play and boy, did they ever!~ Not only did they release quite a bit of games, they also involved a nice bit of quality to them as well. We saw the arrival of EarthWorm Jim 2, the Mortal Kombats, and the anticipated NHLPA's, which was a pleasure to play!~ So i should not hear any complaints from users stating that there wasn't enough good games to play in August, actually there was too much to choose from for both snes and sega. Also as you are aware of, we will not be hearing from our good friend Night Assassin this month as he is up to his ears with work, so I decided to fire him because of that..hehehe!~ Nah, he was in need of small vacation, so more then likely he will be back from hiding next month. But of coz, we still do have Sigma here, sigh..... as for the guest writer this month, what can I say, there no one, I couldn't find anyone who wouldv'e fit the role this month....maybe next month...as usual if you are interested, leave us mail quickly before its too late!~ I guess there is not much more to babble on about, so lets get started.....~ Sigma Seven: Well first of all i guess it`s my Turn this Time to apologize for the Delay of Console World.. Call me a lazy Bunghole! Anyways besides that it was a pretty amazing Month with a lot of Confusion, Controversions and Surprises. First of all we had those two Groups Anthrox and Swat starting a Co-Operation, next to it other People confusing it with a Merge. Right after the Co-Op started Sneakers advertised in one of the .nfo Files that they wouldnt merge with another Group, and right next to it they "teamed up" with Napalm. Thats for the English Section, on the Japanese Section there was some small Controversy between Anthrox/A&S (Me in general) and Cream (Deathknight in general there) about "who`s duping who" (once again its the hottest Topic to get People upset about, even tho its just Japanese (mostly unplayable) Games). I believe the Prize for "Most release Game this Month" shall go to Mortal Kombat, never seen so many Versions of a Game being put out at the same Time (around the same Time). Overall: a MOViNG Month. And now someone should say the SNES is dead (or the Sega). Ahwell, i believe most of the Guys do not interest what i`m writing here, so we`d better get on with the "Charts" aka. Console World! Night Assassin : Ok guys, I can't count how many times people have asked me 'Where's Console World?' And I keep saying 'It's coming' Well, it's cool to be fashionably late (as I told someone) Well anyways, it's been a busy month of September and it will definately go down in 'Console History' or whatever you want to call it. A strong month with some major titles which like Sigma, and DA says, the SNES/SEGA is still not dead. Well, I guess most of the hype is going towards the Sony Playstation. Hmm.. I guess there won't be a co host this month since it's too late anyways, and by the time we'd get the co-host finished writing, it's already time for the October Charts. Well, enough of me blabbing ... let the CHARTS begin! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +-------------+ | Section # 1 | Super Nintendo & Genesis : English Game Releases +-------------+ Scoring System -------------- 0 points - An IPS patch that updates a game from a BETA to Final or Jap to English. - Dupes and Fakes, etc, will see the same fate. 1 point - Final releases of Beta's and games that were previously released in another language but yet very playable. (ie, Twin Bee (shootemup) & Samurai Shodown (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. (ie DKC) __ _____________.________________.____ / \\__ _\__ | | \__ / \ | / S / \| | | | _ |/ _/ | \_ _/ c Anthrox!- _/ /\ \_ | | | | |\ \_ | _/ | \_ o ----------\_____\__/_|__|__|__|__| \__/____\___|___/---------- M ----- r ----- File-name Date Game Name/Company b e Info ------------ ------- ------------------------------------- --- --- --- ---- atx-mm96.lzh .. 3/95 ..

New Snes Points - - Sega Points - 2 ----- Total English Points = 2 Dragon Avenger - As usual the month was started off with a release, but soon after followed the merge of Anthrox and Swat, so that wiped out their slate, and hence a new one begins with ATX-SWAT which you will see below. Sigma Seven - Well the Month did start off pretty promising for Anthrox, what the happened made it even better (IMO!). And about this Merge Thing all i can say is that Anthrox and Swat did *NOT* (i repeat: NOT!) merge, unlike SNK & NPM, they are still two separated Groups just releasing their Titles under one United Label. Else Anthrox and Swat sure would have made up a NEW Name for the New Group, but since its just a CO-OPERATION between them it wasn`t neccessary! It`s like the European Community (EC) they didnt merge just co-operating with each other, otherwise we`d have a United Europe and not Germany, France, UK etc anymore. Night Assassin - Hmm.. Is this the last time we see the label ATX- for releasing the console games? I wonder.. well, these guys have co-operated with Swat and seem to do a fine job at that! ___ ____ | |_.-|____________/\___| / .---\------. __/ | | _ / \ | / / __ \ _ \ | _ | _/ _/\ / _ \ Anthrox!

Not a bad variety of games for both systems! I thought it would be better to keep it short and sweet!~ Sigma Seven - As stated earlier above it is NOT a Merge (i can just keep repeating), anyways it was a pretty decent Month for the Co-Operation between those two Groups. We shall see how it will go along in the Future. Night Assassin - Talk about a crazy month, no it's not the dupe, no it's not the wars, it's the joint efforts of the groups to go against one another. Well, Is this something that will last? A&S seem to get along fine, and we'll see if this thing will last. I don't know about the Killer Instinct, but since I recall the US version of DKC was released and I recall a few Euro's were saying the same. _______ /\ _______ /\ _____ ___ ___. .-\___ \/ \-\___ \ \/ /__| \/ | S | / / \ ____/ \ / | \/ | c Napalm! - |__/ /______\ |/______\______|___|| | o ----------<-/____/÷e÷---`----'Presents-----------`---'-------- M ----- r ----- File-name Date Game Name/Company b e Info ------------ ------- ------------------------------------- --- --- --- ---- npm-ttfb.lzh .. 6/95 ..

New Sega Points - 2 ----- Total English Points = 7 Dragon Avenger - As like in the past months, Napalm brings us with yet another slue of quality games for both systems, man, imagine the damage that both SNK and NPM wouldv'e constructed if they had been together from day 1 of Sept. Nevertheless, it was nice to see them active amongst the big boys, though they shouldv'e sped up on the Mortal's, that was quite unfortunate for them. As for Batman Forever, even S.King agreed with me on this one, I had seen the Quasar version a bit earlier then the NPM one on many bbs's, just they didn't spread it like NPM did! In any case, it was still a good month for these dudes, and much luck to them in their partnership with the boyz at SNK!~ Sigma: 'too bad that they merged with SNK', what is that supposed to mean, never thought I would expect that from you! Sigma Seven - Napalm, this Month, gave us quite a good Palette of neat Titles for both Systems, Sega and Snes. Nothing more to say about it and just too bad that they merged with SNK. Not just my Opinion. Night Assassin - Just like I stated with Anthrox, I wonder if this will be the last time we ever see NPM- in the dirs? Well, albeit you guys did a fine job this month. ________________________ /\ __________ __. \ __ \ __ \ _ \___ \/ \/ _ / | | M\/_/ / _/ / | | \ \__/ __|__/ | | S Prodigy!- B/ \__/ \ \_ | | _/ \ | \_ _\___ | c /____| |\___/____|_\____/ |___/ \_______| o ----------*--/_____|----PRESENTS--|___|--/____|------*-------- M ----- r ----- File-name Date Game Name/Company b e Info ------------ ------- ------------------------------------- --- --- --- ---- pdy-dman.lzh .. 7/95 ..

Sigma Seven - Very interesting Month for Prodigy this Time, first they give us the Japanese Beta of Fighting Eleven and short Time later on they bring us the Final SEGA Version of Demolition Man, nothing to argue about that. Night Assassin - Prodigy always seem to surprise us with a few neat titles. Well, this ones been out before so 1 point on the Sega side. Yippee! Q _______________________________ !

They keep it quick and quiet, exactly what makes them respectable in my books, keep up the effort!~ Sigma Seven - Well Quasar again, the mostly Sega Related Crew nowadays it seems, as usual with some more or less stunning Titles for the beloved 'Mature Gamers' Machine: the Sega Genesis. Finally a English Version (even Multi Lingual) of Treasures Last 16Bit Game 'Light Crusader' and another Boxing Game. Overall doing decent again. Night Assassin - I don't know, but I thought I saw Light Crusader out before? But I guess it's a legit one. I have never been really big on the Sega games, but it's cool anyways. Lot's of Sega titles keep the Genesis fans happy. /---------/____/\________ /_____/\___|---|_ ------ / __/ _______ \ ___/ __/| |_| S Respect! - / / _/ __/\____ \ -/ /__/ / | | c /__/ \ \ / // \ \_ | | o --------------|_____\_____\__/____/______\_____\|___|--------- M ----- r ----- File-name Date Game Name/Company b e Info ------------ ------- ------------------------------------- --- --- --- ---- nr!freal.lzh .. 5/95 ..

Night Assassin - Sigma summed everything up pretty nicely. So nice one guys, let's see some more titles soon! !eNf_______________________ ________/\_____ __\ _______/_ _ \__\ / / Sneakers! - /_______ / / / ___/ S /. / // / // / \_ c /_____________/____ /_____/______/\______/ o -----------------------------\/------------------------------- M ----- r ----- File-name Date Game Name/Company b e Info ------------ ------- ------------------------------------- --- --- --- ---- snk-sg.lzh .... 5/95 ..

Cannot say what the future holds in tune for SNK but it surely looks like they will have some fun with their new partners in crime....good luck fellows!~ Sigma Seven - Well what should i say? The Usual SNK Domination this Month?.. Well not really, they brought us once again a lot of cool Titles along with the US Final of Rockman 7. Doing good as usual and we will see what this merge with Napalm will be worth later on. Wish you luck Guys! Night Assassin - Not a bad month for SNK I'd say. The MK3, and the Earthworm Jim betas are a nice touch for the gamers. Although Napalm released the Euro final pretty damn fast. And for all you whiners, MK3 didn't deserve a 3 points (for those who think the charts are biased) __________ _____________________ / ____ | | / \__ ___/ /\__. \ |/\| / | \| \CC!

Not too much to say about it really. Night Assassin - Hmm.. from what Shadow Master tells me, that Magic School Bus game has been at Toy's R Us for ages.. Heh.. nice one man!

A nice Variety of all Kinda Games, a small Domination of Rpg`s besides another "SF2" Clone (which looks more like a Dragon Ball Z Clone tho, with all that flying around). Aswell as the promising looking Romancing Saga 3 by Square, in generally it had to be more but since i`m doing fairplay i wouldnt want to take the Releases that got spread better (A&S ones) just the ones that were first on M2S. Night Assassin - This issue concerns the thing about the dupes, well, I don't really pay much attention to these games, and I've heard both sides of the story, you funny Euros relax!

This is between Sigma and DKnight, well, I won't get involved and neither will NA on this one, though it seems as if Sigma gets involved in our cases at times(right!), but i won't comment on any of it cuz I really don't know who is telling me the truth, though all things aside, Sigma has been my friend for a long time, so he's been around to long to do shit like that, but what can I say? Still not a bad month for Cream as they ended up a pt behind the front runners A&S!~ Sigma Seven - Well, to be honest, Cream and me had a few Differences this Month Hmm, not really CREAM and me just that Guy 'Deathknight' who seems not to be able to behave himself, anyways to be fair enough with the Stuff they put out i did take the Listing from Menace 2 Society to finish the Japanese Section this Time, Fairness where Fairness belongs to, if they can`t spread their Games its not my Fault. Anyways i`m a bit off-topic this Time and i kinda have to say "Congratulations to the Release of Seiken Densetsu 3", a good Game and we hope to see an english Version soon. And a small Note to Deathknight: I WAS going to apologize for what i`ve written in the last Issue of CW, but since you couldnt wait for this Issue and instead started to call me Names i will *NOT* do it. Get yourself together first. We`re not Kids anymore, well at least i`m not. Night Assassin - I've heard both sides of the story, and I've chatted with DeathKnight about this. And he doesn't seem too pissed about it. Well, as for the thing about Sigma's comment last month, I'll just keep it between them two. Nice work guys, that Basketball game made my friends happy... ________________________ /\ __________ __. \ __ \ __ \ _ \___ \/ \/ _ / | | M\/_/ / _/ / | | \ \__/ __|__/ | | S Prodigy!- B/ \__/ \ \_ | | _/ \ | \_ _\___ | c /____| |\___/____|_\____/ |___/ \_______| o ----------*--/_____|----PRESENTS--|___|--/____|------*-------- M ----- r ----- File-name Date Game Name/Company b e Info ------------ ------- ------------------------------------- --- --- --- ---- pdy-ele.lzh .. 03/95 ..

Pretty Unique and it sure did create some Confusion inside of the Group too, anyways thats what is happening if there are two "Countries" working on a Trainer. Night Assassin - Anthrox and Swat seem to have the overall contribution to the console scene, the US titles, the Jap titles, Handhelds and the Trainers. What else more can you ask for? (Sega trainers? Demos?) Anyways, nice work guys.

I think it should be put in here aswell.. as Ennay`s off for this CW Edition i dont know if he will keep it up that Way or not, for this Month it seems to be me editing this, so this is MY Style... anyways, too much off-topic. Final Words: GOOD JOB P0PCoRn... Night Assassin - To tell you the truth, I think the efforts done from the coders deserve fully points no matter if it's a dupe or not. I mean, these guys work hard at finding the right positions and their efforts should not go unnoticed! Well, nice work from these Italian dudes! Where are the rest of you guys?

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!) Notes : The +'s are added in the charts to make my life easier! So, some of it may apply and some may not!

I checked this one out and thought it was a nice translation! There's nothing a Gameboy can't do!

He keeps it moving tho! :) Night Assassin - I don't know what's happening with this group? But Primal Rage is a very nice release.

Next month's issue should be out soon, which is already under way as you read this, never can start too early, cuz as things are right now, its looks like its gonna be big for some group who is doing really well, but until then take care and greetz to all my friends who have been there since day 1 and who had fun in the good'ol days! Peace!~ Sigma Seven - Another End of the Month has been reached, another Console World has been released (even tho very pretty late), still i hope that you did enjoy reading it as much as we had Fun producing it. Remember it should be all for Fun. Anyways the Files, Japanese or English - Trainers or Fixed, are starting to flow again, so looks as if everything and everyone is getting ready for the big Blast on Christmas, still some Weeks to go but still... Lets see whats coming out next Month. DKC 2 maybe? Just let us be surprised As you can notice i dont really have much to say as a summary this Month. I guess its better to leave it, the Charts kinda talk for themselves anyway and i hope to see a new Edition of BAUD soon, as well as a new Edition of the NEW Magazine thats coming soon to your Snes in SMC Format! Besides that everything is still moving towards the Internet, slightly but surely! Anyways i`m off for this Time and so far just can say: Greetings Programs! Night Assassin - Well, sorry for the delay folks. I guess this is what happens when I decide to let the others take care of the charts. (only kiddin') Anyways, it's been a strange month for everyone. And I don't see much action in the message bases anymore. I do have the opportunity to check out the IRC once in awhile but haven't went berzerk over it like some people are claiming. I like the advantages of using the internet, but there are the disadvantages. Well, anyways, I'm really busy nowadays with university and all.. and where the heck the Sigma's Japanese Summary?? :) There's just one more thing I'd like to mention, to all those who don't care of these charts and such. This is the only true way of keeping track of the releases, I mean there are filelistings and then there is the charts. I hope doing these charts will reflect upon the things which happened in the console scene and someday you guys will re-read some of these charts and have a nice laugh over it. I can't imagine how many hours we have put into bringing you guys something other than WaReZ and I hope it goes appreciated. I know you're probably sick of my greet list, but for those whose handles are in it, I'm sure you get a kick out of seeing your name in there.

Just one more thing before we end off this month, well.. it's been really frustrating to keep with the so-called 'happenings' in the scene, and my heart doesn't really go out for it anymore. But we'll see how things goes. See ya next month. --/ END OF September 1995 CONSOLE WORLD CHARTS \---------------------------
