Crikey. Still, he did not contact me for so long I was forced to release this chart without consulting him, but since there is not much to really argue against it don't matter. Blimey, another new addition, registered games, which include recieving keyfiles. Depending on the actual cost of the registration I will make a decision on points (but its usually 3). Oh and BTW I have decided to be a little bit harsh in this issue cos there is soooooo much Shite being put out.

Licenseware data disks are just not worth 1 point so I left them. It might be worth DD checking their games before releasing them as Joker Poker failed to work on both my Amigas. Hmmmmmm. Exile Discovery disk - whilst being incredibly tiny is a legitimate release from Audiogenic, so a data disk mark for it then. .-------------------------------------------------------------------------. |O| A M I G A M A J O R G A M E S R E L E A S E C H A R T S |O| `-------------------------------------------------------------------------' F L O O D --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Game/Title | Language | Company | Points | |_____________________________|___________|______________________|_________| Marathon 1.4 Registered English ? 3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Total Releases: [01] Total Points: [03] |___________________________________________________________________________ I am deciding to put this new category in, as this is not a hacked version, this is a proper (£5) registration from the author for this game so 3 points it is. .-------------------------------------------------------------------------. |O| A M I G A M A J O R G A M E S R E L E A S E C H A R T S |O| `-------------------------------------------------------------------------' .____. _____/\ _ _____ __/\ _ ______ _| |_______ _.___ \\ ___/ _ //__ ___/ \ | / | / \ __)___ \/ \ __)___ \ | _.__/ l______/____ /______/____ / |\___|__| yop .------------\/---------->l\/__|<----------. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Game/Title | Language | Company | Points | |_____________________________|___________|______________________|_________| Aquanaut ECS/AGA English F1 LICENSEWARE 1 Project 1 ECS/AGA English Coma Software 3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Total Releases: [01] Total Points: [01] |___________________________________________________________________________ Surely we have to draw the line somewhere, its bad enough having Licenseware without it being OLD either, its about 1 year old. Hmmm but since the charts are so lame this month I'll add it in and the fact its NEVER been released before now. That Project 1 I will give 3 points it looks even shitter than budget software but.... if somebody can tell me its PD then I will remove it. .-------------------------------------------------------------------------. |O| A M I G A M A J O R G A M E S R E L E A S E C H A R T S |O| `-------------------------------------------------------------------------' _____ ____.___ _____ _______(¯ ¯\/¯ :_ ¯\_____(¯ ¯\ \__ \_______) _ __|/_ _ \ _l) _/ ,\__ \ ) /: / \__ ) p)h.\_ _/\_ ¯· _/\_ / / ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯/_ _\ p r e s e n t s ... ¯¯¯¯¯ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Game/Title | Language | Company | Points | |_____________________________|___________|______________________|_________| Sen Polish L.K Avalon 3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Total Releases: [01] Total Points: [03] |___________________________________________________________________________ A Polish adventure.

The game is also the same as the floppy. If anyone can tell me otherwise the score will remain at 0 Points. Well the same apart from most of the sound not being there. .-------------------------------------------------------------------------. |O| A M I G A M A J O R G A M E S R E L E A S E C H A R T S |O| `-------------------------------------------------------------------------' C O N C E P T --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Game/Title | Language | Company | Points | |_____________________________|___________|______________________|_________| Donk CD32 English Supervision 0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Total Releases: [01] Total Points: [00] |___________________________________________________________________________ It really amazes me the length some people will go to get credits. So what do we have here? Well Donk was released on CD32 in 1993, 3 YEARS ago, and back then it was also cracked, and a few months later there was another rip with intro etc included. 2 Years later we find out a lamer group Concept have re-released it for no reason whatsoever. I am afraid this proves ultra lame and this group should have future released banned :).. .-------------------------------------------------------------------------. |O| A M I G A M A J O R G A M E S R E L E A S E C H A R T S |O| `-------------------------------------------------------------------------' __. __ ______.____________________________ | | (__)\_. /|__ _/ __/ \____ \ _/___/ | _|_| |/ |_/ | \| |/ _/ . \ _/ _/ | __/_ | | \ / | _ _ \ / | | \\ \ |__ d!/ |_____\ \___ | |__/ \_ |_____/_\ \___/__/ -----|__|---\|_|--|_|-\_|--------\__/------- (- faster than light -) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Game/Title | Language | Company | Points | |_____________________________|___________|______________________|_________| Xtreme Racing Data Disks English Siltunna Software 3 Fightin' Spirit AGA English NEO/Lightshock 8+3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Total Releases: [02] Total Points: [14] |___________________________________________________________________________ Well another shock to the system, one of the most awaited games of the year gets released - again by a small crew who are beginning to get a good name for themselves. A shame all their releases so far have been unprotected :) This, of course, gets Game of the Month. XTR data disks are genuine, from the company themselves.

It also came out over 2 months ago so its pretty old. Again if you think a new language version deserves some points in this chart mail me and if I get enough replies I will add them in. .-------------------------------------------------------------------------. |O| A M I G A M A J O R G A M E S R E L E A S E C H A R T S |O| `-------------------------------------------------------------------------' __ __ ______ ______ ______ ______ ___ / /__ / // __ // __ //_ __// ____// _ \ / // // // __ // / / / ¯/ / / __/_ / / \ \ / ¯ ¯ // / / // / / / / / / ¯// ¯¯¯ / ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¯¯ ¯¯ ¯¯ ¯¯ ¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ______ ______ ______ ________ /_ __// ____// __ // _ _ / ¯/ / / __/_ / __ // // // / / / / ¯// / / // / ¯¯/ / ¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¯¯ ¯¯ ¯¯ ¯¯ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Game/Title | Language | Company | Points | |_____________________________|___________|______________________|_________| Primal Rage 1.6 ECS/AGA English Time Warner 0 Pinball Hazard ECS/AGA English Mirage 0 Tyran ECS/AGA Polish Marksoft 3 Tajemnika..... ECS/AGA Polish EagleSoft 3 Bez Kompromisu ECS/AGA Polish Marksoft 3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Total Releases: [04] Total Points: [06] |___________________________________________________________________________ I read Wanted Teams criticism of me. OK I am personally not against you. As for Polish games basically I don't really care about them as most of them are completely shit. So OK, I got the name wrong, Sorry. As for the Russian Database it was meant as a joke. Sorry, again, if I offended you. It seems though that you are also NOT INFALLIBLE. Read on. It is commendable that Wanted Team release a hard disk installer for the game but why not just do one for the TRSI release? I mean what is the difference in this so called '1.6' version? NOTHING!....ok so it works on all memory configs but hey, there were already fixes out for them so they are 100%. I was going to award 3 points for an update score but i am sorry it is not possible as the game is the same! Also now I'm told the h/d install dont work! Now onto Pinball Hazard. The game does not work, and its not just my computer. The game was tested on a 500, 500+, 1200, and an Amiga 4000. All refusing to work. It seemed the disk accessing was very unstable on some computers. Why though would they make disk accessing like that if there was no protection on the game? Anyway the game doesn't work and no fix was done so 0 points for it. It might seem genuine but if it does not work then all I can suggest is this: Test your games before you release them. It was tested on 5 machines and not one of them worked, I think that it is correct that I give you 0 points. If there is a fix then I still will not give your group any points due to the fact it didn't work AT ALL. If it crashed or at least we got to PLAY a part of it then 5 points would have been yours. Apart from that 3 points each to the 3 other Polish games. I must state that if Pinball Hazard had worked it would have received maximum 8 points. I will still give you guys 5 points should YOU release a fix for the game.
