OMING UP .....^MQ:  QUESTION..^AA:  ANSW
ER....^MQ: THE LIST LOOKS STRANGE SINCE 
IT'S.... BASED ON THE NET. IS THERE SOME
THING.... MISSING OR WHAT?....A: YES ! T
HERE IS SOMETHING MISSING.... ACTUALLY. 
WE WAXED THE FIXING CHARTS.... FOR GOOD 
DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE.... ARE NO RE
AL FIXING GROUPS AROUND.... ANYMORE. WHE
NEVER THERE IS A RELEASE.... ON WHICH 2 
OR MORE GROUPS PARTICI-.... PATED, E.G. 
ONE GROUP CRACKING THE.... GAME AND ANOT
HER ONE FIXING IT, THE.... POINTS ARE SP
LIT. THE RELEASE IS SEEN.... AS A CO-OP 
RELEASE THEN. THIS.... HAPPENED DUE TO O
UR ADAPTION OF THE.... LIST TO THE CURRE
NT RELEASEMARKET.....^MQ: WHAT'S THAT 6 
MONTH RULE ?....A: INCASE A GAME GETS RE
LEASED ON PAL.... ONLY OR ON A NON-ENGLI
SH BASE AND.... IT TAKES THE SAME OR ANO
THER GROUP.... MORE THAN 6 MONTHS TO FIX
 THE GAME.... OR TRANSLATE IT, NO POINTS
 WILL BE.... AWARDED.....^MQ: WHAT ABOUT
 THAT 24 HOURS RULE ?....A: IF A GROUP R
ELEASES THE SAME GAME OR.... TOOL WHICH 
ANOTHER GROUP PUT OUT.... BEFORE AND THE
 TIME DIFFERENCE TAKEN.... ON THE SERVER
 IS LARGER THAN 24.... HOURS, THE 2ND GR
OUP WILL GAIN A -5.... FOR A RE-RELEASE 
UNLESS IT'S NOT A.... 100% VERSION OR SO
METHING SIMILAR.......^MQ: THE MAIL-RULE
 APPEARS RIDICULOUS TO..^M.. ME. PLEASE 
EXPLAIN FOR WHAT REASON..^M.. IT IS THER
E.....A: ACTUALLY THERE ARE SEVERAL REAS
ONS.... FOR IT. LET'S START FROM THE....
 BEGINNING HERE.  ANONYMOUS REMAILERS...
. INFACT ARE HACKABLE AND NOT VERY.... S
TABLE. THEREFORE WE DO NOT ACCEPT.... MA
ILS FROM THEM. WE ANSWER QUESTIONS.... F
ROM THERE, BUT RELEASE-NOTES BEING.... S
ENT USING E.G. HOTMAIL ARE IGNORED..... 
WE ALSO WANT TO HAVE A RELIABLE.... ADDR
ESS TO WHICH WE CAN DIRECT.... QUESTIONS
 CONCERNING THE RELEASES.... WHENEVER HE
LL BREAKS LOOSE. SENTENCES.... LIKE: '..
X DIDN'T WORK AND WILL.... THEREFORE NOT
 BE COUNTED', WE JUST.... DON'T WANT TO 
SEE IN PROPAGANDA..... ANOTHER RATHER IM
PORTANT THING IS THE.... TIME, AS THAT'S
 THE BASE FOR ANY.... RELEASE CHART FLOA
TING AROUND. THE.... INTERNET PROVIDES T
HE POSSIBILITY.... TO TRANSFER FILES FOR
 THE C64 RATHER.... QUICK AND WE THEREFO
RE NEED A PRECISE.... TIMESTAMP. ALSO TH
E FACT THAT ANYTHING.... INSIDE AN INCOM
ING DIRECTORY IS.... USUALLY HIDDEN AND 
THE MAINTAINERS.... ARE NOT WATCHING THE
IR SITES EVERY.... SECOND PLAYS A MAJOR 
ROLE.JUST IMAGINE.... THE CASE THAT THE 
SAME RELEASE GETS.... UPLOADED WITH A DI
FFERENCE OF E.G. 10.... MINUTES. BURGLAR
 OR LION ARE LOGGING.... ON TO THE NET A
ND DO THEIR USUAL.... AMOUNT OF UNIX HAC
KING TO MOVE THE.... FILES FROM THE INCO
MING DIRECTORY TO.... A PUBLIC DIRECTORY
. FOR SOME REASON.... THE 2ND UPLOAD GET
S MOVED FIRST AND.... THE TROUBLE IS STA
RTING. THE.... MAINTAINER HAS TO GET THE
 RELEVANT.... PART OF THE LOG FILE AND P
UBLISH IT.... TO A LARGER AUDIENCE. SHIT
 HAPPENS..... WE ALL KNOW THAT ELECTRONI
C DATA IS.... EASILY EDITABLE. FINALLY: 
WITHOUT.... THAT RULE FAKE-RELEASES LIKE
 PUSH.... 'EM 2 FROM MAYHEM (JUDGED AS A
.... RE-RELEASE IN SCENE+) ARE EASILY...
. POSSIBLE. ALL THIS AND SOME MINOR.... 
OTHER THINGS WERE REASON ENOUGH FOR.... 
US TO SET UP THE MAIL RULE. IF YOU.... D
ON'T FOLLOW OUR RULES, YOUR.... RELEASE 
WILL BE IGNORED IN OUR.... MAGAZINE.....
............^MQ: WHAT DOES PAL/NTSC FIXI
NG MEAN ?....A: GET SERIOUS. GET SOME KN
OWLEDGE.... BEFORE EVEN THINKING ABOUT..
.. FIRST RELEASES.....^MQ: WILL THERE BE
 A YEARLY RELEASE LIST?....A: NO. WE HAV
E OTHER PLANS TO ENTERTAIN.... YOU.....^
MQ: WILL THIS FAQ EVER END?....A: YES! M

 WAS 100% FIXED..AND DEBUGGED.....^GEXCE
SS.. 2.4 POINTS..^M.!_....ALTHOUGH THEIR
 RELEASE OF LABE ME WAS..PAL/NTSC, THEY 
ONLY GOT 2.4 POINTS FOR..IT. THE REASON 
WAS MAINLY THAT THE..QUALITY OF THE GAME
 SIMPLY SUCKED AND..THE CRACK WASN'T ANY
 BETTER. ACTUALLY..THIS IS THE FIRST TIM
E I GIVE THE SAME..AMOUNT OF POINTS TO A
 SO-CALLED FULL..GAME AS TO THE PREVIEW 
WHICH WAS..EARLIER RELEASED BY HITMEN. T
HE GAME..DIDN'T CHANGE VERY MUCH AND SUR
ELY..DOESN'T DESERVE MORE THAN 0.2 ON TH
E..QUALITY SIDE.............^GFAIRLIGHT.
. 1.65 POINTS..^M.!_....THE NEWLY BUILT 
CRACKING SECTION OF..FAIRLIGHT DIDN'T ST
ART TOO WELL IT..SEEMS. THEIR RELEASE OF
 IONS (3.3..POINTS) WAS FIXED BY LAXITY 
AND..THEREFORE THEY SHARE THE POINTS...J
UST TO LET YOU ALL KNOW: IF..LAXITY WOUL
DN'T HAVE MAILED US ABOUT..THE FIXED VER
SION OF THE GAME, IT WOULD..HAVE BEEN IG
NORED. WE HEREBY IGNORE..SHOOT WHICH WAS
 RELEASED BY THEM ASWELL. ..IT IS SAID T
O BE FIXED, BUT YOU BETTER..BELIEVE IT .
.. THIS IS THE FIRST RELEASE..THAT FLT E
VER FUCKED UP IN EVERY..POSSIBLE ASPECT.
 NO MORE COMMENTS NEEDED,..JUST CHECK TH
AT PILE OF CRAP.......^GF4CG.. 21.35 POI
NTS..^M.!_....THE FANTASTICS HAD A VERY 
ACTIVE XMAS..TIME IT APPEARS. MANY GAMES
 WERE..RELEASED AND THERE WERE EVEN SOME
 NICE..ONES. CLOUX (2.4 POINTS) GAINED T
HE SAME..ATTENTION (QUALITY WISE) THAN L
ABE ME..FROM EXCESS. SAYS SOMETHING ABOU
T THE..QUALITY I GUESS. A LITTLE MORE..I
NTERESTING WERE STARBASE (1.6 POINTS),..
JAX (1.7 POINTS) AND LASER STORM (1.8)..
.ALL OF THESE WERE PAL/NTSC ALREADY...TH
E BETTER STUFF CAME UP WITH LOADSTARS'..
VIDEOPOKER (2.8) WHICH WAS PAL/NTSC..ASW
ELL BUT APPEARS TO BE A LITTLE..STRANGE,
 AS THERE WAS NO MONEY IN THE..GAME. COU
LD BE A PREVIEW ASWELL, I AM..NOT SURE A
BOUT THAT. THE FUN RAISED WITH..AIR TRAF
FIC CONTROLLER (2.7 POINTS) AND..THE REM
AKE OF BURGERTIME (2.5 POINTS)...THOUGH 
THEIR BEST RELEASE THIS TIME WAS..SURELY
 REFLECT (4.2 POINTS) WHICH WAS..PAL/NTS
C ALREADY AND IS NOT THAT MUCH..FUN TO P
LAY, BUT THE CRACK WAS BEATING..DYTEC'S 
VERSION OF STROKE WORLD ON THE..CRACKING
 QUALITY. THE LONG LOST FIFTH..FANTASTIC
 AKA SNEAPER MANAGED TO DO A..GREAT JOB 
HERE. FINALLY THEY HELPED OUT..WOW'N'ROL
E AND FIXED THE SUPER PAC-MAN..RELEASE W
HICH GAVE THEM ANOTHER 1.65..POINTS. THE
 POINTS ON THIS ONE ARE OF..COURSE SHARE
D. AFTERALL THEY INCREASED..THEIR PERFOR
MANCE TREMENDOUSLY COMPARED..TO LAST MON
THS RESULT. GREAT JOB, ALTHOUGH..THE QUA
LITY OF THE RELEASES COULD HAVE..BEEN BE
TTER.........^GLAXITY.. 9.05 POINTS..^M.
!_....THE NEWCOMERS WITH THE FAMOUS NAME
 RISE..EACH TIME A LITTLE MORE. THIS TIM
E THEY..UPLOADED FOUR FULL GAMES AND TWO
..PREVIEWS. THE PREVIEW OF PHANTASM &..F
ANTASY JUST GAINED 0.3 POINTS, WHILE..IT
'S MAGIC PREVIEW LOOKED QUITE..PROMISING
 AND WAS AWARDED 0.7 POINTS...TOO BAD TH
E GRAPHICS LOOKS VERY SIMILAR..TO THE ON
E FROM CREATURES, BUT  MAYBE..THERE WILL
 BE A FULL GAME LATER. THE..FULL GAMES T
HEY CAME UP WITH ARE..BOMB SWEEPER (1.8 
POINTS), SILENT DOWN..(1.7 POINTS) AND T
HE MORE OR LESS..DISCUSSED MAXIMUM OVERD
RIVE (2.9)...WHILE THE FIRST 2 OF THESE 
WERE RUNNING..PAL/NTSC ALREADY, MAXIMUM 
OVERDRIVE..STAYS PAL SO FAR. QUITE SOME 
PEOPLE..CLAIMED THAT THE LAXITY VERSION 
IS NOT..THE FINAL SALES VERSION, BUT A R
ATHER..OLD PREVIEW. THE GAME IS PLAYABLE
 AND..LOOKS COMPLETE SO FAR. LET SOME OT
HER..GROUP RELEASE A FULL VERSION AND SH
OW..LAXITY THAT THERE INFACT IS A MORE..
COMPLETE VERSION. LAST NOT LEAST THEY..R
ELEASED THE FIXED VERSION OF THE..FAIRLI
