CORRUPT CONSOLE DISKMAG - ISSUE 1 DEC/1999
@END_FILE_ID.DIZ


Elemental -
        Hello hello! Welcome to the very first issue of CORRUPT! First of all,
I know some of you have been waiting to read this diskmag for a while. Well,
here's some history on why it took so long. The first issue was supposed to
be rel'd 2 months ago, and it would cover the N64, PSX, and GBC consoles.
Not only that, but it would be a non-text diskmag and would have graphics
and great design! Unfortantly, this just didn't work out. I wasn't organized
enough, and I didn't have the skills or software to make the diskmag how I
originally planned. So, I started over again in November. This time CORRUPT
would be like the oldschool console diskmags, and would be completely text
with amazing ASCIIs. diPSWiTCH worked with me to do some great ASCII, and he
certainly made some great things. Unfortantly, in the end, that issue never
made it, because somebody else that was working on it with me had far too
busy a scheduel and never got the chance to finish his part. It became so
late into December that it would be worthless to release a November issue.
Well, finally CORRUPT makes it, in the last month of 1999! The ASCII in this
issue is done by cRu from 1oo%. If you like it, search for his collys! Next
month will feature the art of diPSWiTCH that was in the never-released
November issue. Lastly, there was one other change that CORRUPT went through.
Last month was hell trying to chart all the console releases. There is just
far too many files being released to try to have a universal console diskmag.
The worst part is with the independent files. Many people just upload their
independent files to their local boards, and they never spread, so it's
impossible to try to chart them all. That's why CORRUPT has changed to a
GameBoy Color only diskmag. Read the magazine, spread it around, and enjoy !

tribe-
        Hi all! So the last month of 1999 is over. I'm really looking forward
to the year 2000. Why? Well because the PSX2 and the GBA should be released,
most probably someone will also make a copier or figure out a way of copying
Dreamcast games and as if that isn't enough excitement it should be the end of
the world according to some people. Others claim that no computers will work
anymore. Lets not forget all the GBC games that should be coming out either.

        Well, with it being Christmas, you can expect lots of new games to be
sold in the USA. It's no surprise that Menace is there to release every one.
Nothing new with Menace this month. Lots of USA games rel'd as usual. The
only thing slightly out of the ordinary is Menace's release of a German game
very early in the month. With every single member of Menace being in the USA,
and so many Germans in the scene, you'd expect a different group to release
it first. As far as game quality, there were some good games this month, and
lots of bad ones.

tribe-
        27 releases from Menace this month. What can I say? It's simply
amazing. But then again it didn't really come as a suprise. Menace has been
dominating the USA releases for a while now.

        Another great month for another great GBC group! Around Christmas
time you can always expect lots of games all over the world. Japan got it's
fair share of games this month, and for a change many of them are great!
Oldskool's Japanese supplier made sure to give us all the great games from
Japan. Top hits include the famous Beat Mania 2, new versions of Pokemon
Gold and Silver, and the new Bomberman games! Make sure to check these out.

tribe-
        As usual Oldskool brings us lots of nice Japanese games. But what's
the deal with the two broken releases? Let's hope it's just a bit of bad luck.
Good work from Oldskool besides the two broken releases though.

        Well! High Society, the group famous for their Nintendo 64 releases,
enters the GameBoy Color scene. Last month they had some releases, but this
month they have many more. Check out these European games from HS.

tribe-
        5 releases by High Society this month. It's good that someone
released those Barbie games because sceners with German or French speaking
daughters will surely have some use for them ;).

        With all these new games out, the coders at Capital got busy and
coded us lots of trainers to use. Capital certainly loves to release massive
amounts of trainers, but it's too bad they have so few cheats for each
trainer.

tribe-
        As usual Capital gives loads of trainers for all the cheaters among
us. Good work guys! Not very many actual games were released by them though,
which is a shame but I guess they had their hands full with coding the
trainers.

        Well, what's this ?! The Corporation, the infamous Nintendo 64 group
gave us two games for our favorite handheld console this month. With all
the games coming out this month, it looks like everybody can get their hands
on something to release. Since this is the comments and I can say whatever
I want, I sure hope TC doesn't keep releasing for the GBC. They've been big
enough assholes to get everybody to hate them who uses N64. Do they really
need more enemies? I guess they like the attention.

tribe-
        The Corporation which seems to be very active on N64 releases only two
games for the GBC. I would have thought they could do better than that. Above
all neither one of these games is very good. One is a Deer Hunting game and
Boarder Zone is just the USA version of Supreme Snowboarding.

are absolutely fantastic so it really doesn't matter. Ofcourse a few more
releases wouldn't hurt.

        If you didn't read it above, "groups" who only have one member are
counted as independent, because by definition, a group has more then one
person. Since Rotox^CPL/RPF is the only member of RPF, his RPF releases count
as independent. Here's something I don't understand. Why is it that when
people make an independent release, they have to steal another groups NFO/DIZ?
One more note. I think the Independent logo cRu made looks funny because it
is so much bigger then the rest of the group logos. I loved it too much to
not put it in though!

tribe-
        Pretty quiet in the independent section this month. A v1 fix from RPF
and three Japanese games released by someone who doesn't seem to want any
credit for releasing them.

        With Xad busy in his shop in Italy, and almost no other Nightfall
members left, this legendary group is next to inactive. I guess we can still
expect some releases from them every once in a while, but not a lot. As the
NFO for Deja Vu I+II said, the version released by Nightfall has the English
language, but Menace's version doesn't. Stranded Kids is just the European
release of last months great RPG, Survival Kids.

tribe-
        Nightfall released Deja Vu I+II and the European version of Survival
Kids. Not much but I'm glad to see some activity in Nightfall.

  a working one.
* Sweet Ange by Oldskool also had a broken release. It was only a matter of

* Name: Street Fighter Alpha
* Released by: Menace
* Filename: MNC-SFA.ZIP
* Size: 8 Megabits
* Genre: Fighting
* Review by: Elemental

        For fighting fans, handheld consoles have always been a big
dissapointment. Just look at any fighting game on our beloved GameBoy Color
and you can see why. Until now, every fighting game is terrible. Ugly
graphics, horrible game-play, etc. The good news is that now Street Fighter
Alpha has been released, and it is great! If you played Street Fighter II
on the GameBoy before, you'd think the GameBoy just can't handle a Street
Fighter game. It's a good thing that's not true. Street Fighter Alpha runs
at a steady speed, has great animation, and great graphics. You can easily
tell who each character is by looking at them. They are animted superbly so
you can see all your favorite Street Fighter moves being executed.
        Street Fighter Alpha has all the characters from the arcade original.
The character line up is Ryu, Chun-Li, Charlie, Ken, Guy, Birdie, Sodom, Adon,
Rose, and Sagat.
        The only problem with the game is that veteran fighting game fans may
not like the two-button set-up used. One for punch and one for kick. It isn't
really a problem, but you don't get the freedom of having 3 different types
of punches and kicks.
FINAL SCORE: 10/10 - Simply the best GBC fighting game yet !

* Name: Godzilla: The Series
* Released by: Menace
* Filename: MNC-GODZ.ZIP
* Size: 8 Megabits
* Genre: Shooting
* Review by: Elemental

        First comes a bad Godzilla movie, and then comes a cartoon, and now
there is a GameBoy Color game based on the cartoon. The movie was terrible,
and the cartoon is terrible. Will the game suffer the same fate? You play as
Godzilla marching through cities on a rampage. Wave after wave of flying
and ground based enemies are sent against you. You are able to block their
attacks, and you can fight back using your tail or fire breath. The first
problem with the game comes with it's speed. It moves incredibly slow. You
just sit watching the screen on your GameBoy as Godzilla slowly marches
through the city with a repetitive background graphic. Foot after foot,
Godzilla moves through the city at snail speed. Not only that, but his tail
attack is just as slow. After you press the button, there is a delay before
he actually swings his tail. This makes the attack virtually useless, unless
of course you are physic and can predict when the enemies are coming. The
next problem comes with control of Godzilla. Not only does he move too slowly,
but you don't even get to control where he moves. Your only option is to aim
his head up and down, and every once in a while you can make him dodge out of
the way of enemies.
        Godzilla The Series is just a plain bore. The game moves at an
incredibly slow speed, and it is barely interactive. It's hard to think of a
genre for this game, because it's nothing like any other game I've played.
It's somewhat like a shooting game, but you don't get to move. You just aim.
It's very hard to think of anything good about this game.
FINAL SCORE: 1/10 - There's no reason whatsoever to play this game.

        Lately people have been disappointed in Bomberman games. Hudson tries
to expand and take the Bomberman character into new types of games. Role
playing games, strategy games, 3D platformers, etc. They seem to have stopped
making the real Bomberman games that we all loved from the Super Famicom.
Then comes along the Bomberman Max series on the GameBoy Color! Note that
Bomberman Max - Hero of Light and Bomberman Max - Shadow of Darkness are the
same game, but you play a different character. In Hero of Light you play as
the white Bomberman himself, and in Shadow of Darkness you play as a new
character.
        Bomberman Max is instantly familiar to any fan of the Bomberman
series. It's virtually the exact same game-play. You pick up power-ups, blow
up obstacles, and destroy all the enemies with your bombs. What is new is
that in Bomberman Max you now have an objective for each mission. It's not
just destroy all the enemies anymore. The objectives are simple and don't
generally add anything to the gameplay. Instead of blow up all enemies, maybe
it's blow up all obstacles. Collect all sword icons. Collect all shield icons.
That kind of thing. A scientist guy tells you your objective at the beginning
of the map. When you complete the objective, several different teleporters
appear. Each one takes you to a different map. This is both good and bad.
It's good in the sense that the game branches off and it's not exactly the
same everytime you play it, but it's bad in the sense that sometimes you'll
take a teleporter back to a level you've already completed! This is very
annoying. Overall, the new Bomberman Max series on GameBoy Color is excellent
although it does have its flaws.
FINAL SCORE: 9/10 - Finally Hudson releases another classic-style Bomberman!
(Note: This review is possibly not 100% accurate because so far only the
Japanese versions of these games have been released, and I'm not fluent
in that language. Sorry for any mistakes.)

* Name: Mickey's Tetris Adventure    
* Released by: Oldskool

* Review by: Elemental

        Every console has to have at least one Tetris. So far there's only
one Tetris on the GBC, so Capcom had to fill that void. Capcom used to create
games on the 8bit Nintendo Entertainment System using the Disney license.
Recently they have stopped using the Disney license, but it looks like they're
starting again with a brand new Tetris game. Originally on the Nintendo 64,
we now get to play it on our favorite handheld system.
        What's new in this Tetris? Well, nothing really. It's the same old
Tetris we played long ago, but now there are animations of Mickey Mouse and
friends. Not an innovative game at all, but it still plays a good game of
Tetris.
FINAL SCORE: 7/10 - Nothing new, but also nothing bad.

I have never been a fan of sporting games but for some reason I've always
enjoyed the games in the NHL Hockey series. NHL 2000 for GBC is very similar
to the Genesis/Megadrive versions of NHL Hockey, mainly because it is 2D (in
the "bird's eye view" perspective) but other similarities can also be found.
IMHO 2D hockey games are much more fun than 3D games of the genre, like
NHL 2000 for PC or PSX, so I had high hopes for the game, and luckily it
turned out to be even better than what I had expected.
        The graphics in the game are quite good but due to the small
resolution of the GBC screen everything is a bit too small. For example the
puck is sometimes almost invisible, which does make it extremely hard to make
a goal. But if that (or something else) makes the game too hard (or too easy)
you can always adjust the difficulty level.
        The game has a password system which allows you to continue a season
or a playoff. A password system does the job but SRAM would be a much better
option for games like this. The game features 45 teams and the statistics for
the players are from the 1998-1999 season, which is quite impressive. Another
nice feature is the shootout game mode.
        NHL 2000 can't be played by two players, which is a shame, but I guess
they had to leave something for NHL 2001.
FINAL SCORE: 8/10

Elemental-
        Well, it's been a great month for the GameBoy Color scene. Lots of
new games and trainers, and even some surprises from new groups. By the time
you read this, Christmas will be over. I hope you all had a great Christmas
and you got lots of excellent wares ! Well, this is the end of the first
issue I guess. I'm really happy it got released. It took so long to complete,
but I think it was worth it. I hope you all agree with me and read the whole
thing. Oh yes, one more word. I'd like to thank the excellent artist cRu for
doing the art featured in issue one. I was thinking every issue would feature
a new ASCII artist. What do you readers think? A new one every month, or keep
the same logos? Thanks very much, cRu! If you like his work, check out his
latest colly. The filename is 1OO-TIN1.TXT. Now time for greets in no
particular order. Sorry if I left you out! You know you belong here:

        TOP 5 CHRISTMAS GBC WISHES:
        1) More high quality platformers! So far the GBC doesn't have nearly
           as many great platformers as other consoles. Remember Super Mario
           Brothers 3? If only Nintendo still made games like that.
        2) More coding groups for the GBC! Capital is the only one releasing
           trainers now. High Society made one trainer but never did more.
           Nightfall released some but is too busy to do more. What about
           the legendary Paradox? They are now doing Nintendo 64 trainers..
           Is there a chance we can see them on the GameBoy Color?
        3) A free Doctor GB 64M card! 
        4) Some real good RPGs! The Super Famicom had absolutely amazing
           RPGs, but the GBC has nothing good yet. Oh, how I'd love for
           Squaresoft to do GBC development.
        5) For the GBC to live long and have more great games!

        FAVORITE GAME OF THE MONTH: Street Fighter Alpha

        Don't you just love Christmas? Well atleast I do. Not because it's the
season of joy etc. but because more games are released at Christmas than at
any other time of the year. And the break we get from work/school gives people
some time to actually play the games coming out. But enought with that talk
about Christmas. Greetings to all my friends and I wish everyone a happy new
year.

        TOP 5 CHRISTMAS GBC WISHES:
        1) A proper demoscene for the GBC. I know some people/groups release
           a small intro every now and then, but it isn't very much compared
           to the demoscenes of some other platforms.
           Much respect to Cosmigo and Fatality for releasing fabulous
           demos/intros and to Wooden Spoon for having the GBDev'99 compo.
        2) More conversions of NES games to the GBC, like the amazing SMB DX.
        3) A Neogeo Pocket Color copier.
        4) More 2D games for the PSX, N64, Dreamcast, and PC.
        5) An arcade cabinet.

        FAVORITE GAME OF THE MONTH: Micro Machines 1 and 2: Twin Turbo
