 NOTE: Since this is an International Gameboy Chart,(not just a European one) .
.      We include all releases from the end of the month in USA time.
.      So for example... If a group releases a game in the last hours of      :
·      the previous month in USA time it's a new month in Europe, but         :
:      it was still old month in USA. So we will of course include that....   :

:   Remember.. We are making this for fun and we are not trying to            :
:   have a war with anyone or such lame things (you know ...)                 :

:  harlekin: Another month, another late mgsci - sorry but better late then   :
:            never ;) Anyways, this is issue #6 and it'll be the last MGSCI   :
:            issue too - with all the ngp/ngpc stuff comming out these days,I .
.            think the groups should get their credits for releasing those
             games too. So if you have any suggestions on how the ngp/ngpc
             point system should look like, feel free to drop me a line, else
             I'll work out one by myself..hehehe :).

  POST NOTE: I know it's really fucking late, too late, for mgsci but i decided
             to release this thing for two reasons. (A) Despite the fact
             that the new month is aproaching many dudes still requested it.
             And (B) to show off my respect to the great commenters we had
             this month - cheers mates ;). Sorry but this all wasn't my fault,
             sometimes life's a bitch and you can't change it :(

  amptor: Even though there were a lot of releases this month, there weren't
          very many good games (well maybe I forgot how some of the Japanese
          titles were).  Hopefully better months are to come.  At least
          some major titles came out this month.

  ennay: Hi everybody, boy it's been quite a while since I've done a chart,
         and I'm pretty sure noone remembers anyways.  :)  And for those who
         do remember, msg me for a prize.  Enough of this chit chat, lets
         move on to the charts!!

Total GB Releases From 'ACEY' : 1                     GB Total Points = +00
=============================================================================
  harlekin: Acey strikes again with a new sachen game, but this time it's for
            gbc ! Megaman fans should check this out, it's a nice clone of
            those old GB-Only Megaman games...

 amptor:  This is an interesting release. As far as I can see, it's probably an
          unlicensed game.  The box art is interesting because it makes the
          main character look like Megaman.  This is an okay platformer, but if
          you are looking for a good platformer I'd suggest you stick with
          Rayman or Wario Land 3 for quite a while longer.

  ennay: To be honest, I haven't tried out this game, so I can't comment on
         it, but its great for the collectors.

  Sweed: Never heard of, havent tried, prolly wont.. Acey not matchin upto last
         months effort but he still around

Total GB Releases From 'Capital' : 4                  GB Total Points = +07
=============================================================================

 harlekin: Some ppl would say that this month was far below average for CPL,
           but I think we trained the stuff that was actually *worth* training
           - nothing more, nothing less. Though you don't see his name in any
           of the releases big respects to rotox for all his hard work during
           the month...

 amptor:  As CPL is slowing down on their training, they manage to release another
          game.  I haven't tried this one, but if you like tennis you may want
          to check it out.

 ennay: Capital gets my greatest respects for releasing their elite trainers
        with super cool trainer menus.  In addition, they always release
        their trainers the same day (or within a day) of the actual release.
        These guys are the closest things to the 16bit era there is.

 Sweed: Now were talking.. All Star Tennis 2000, prolly 1 of very few games i
        actually bothered having a whirl at.. and it was pretty damn sweet..
        no matter what rotox says :)

 harlekin: Hmm, we were pretty busy this month with stuff, but anyways managed
           to get DGB-Max 1.3 out. Many thanks to all the dudes that have
           coded/helped us in any way...

 amptor:  More DGB-Max upgrades.  Keep up the good work.

 ennay: I personally never got these guy's DGB utils working, perhaps I'm
        just too dumb.  But more utils means more choice for the average
        user.  Good work!

 Sweed: another group doing trainers.. nike must be getting worried :) .. sorry

harlekin: One release from eurasia. Though it didn't shake my socks too hard,
          it's nice to see the GBC-Dinosaurs still alive :)

ennay: Never count Eurasia out, these guys always manage to pull in the
       big title here and there.  And I personally use MFM's GBXTool which
       does everything I need it to.

Sweed: Casino aint my bag baby.. and the urge to play it in a different languages
       hasnt struck me yet :) hopefully better from Eurasia next month

Total GB Releases From 'HIGH SOCIETY' : 2             GB Total Points = +01
=============================================================================

 harlekin: Can't say that much about this release, because I haven't tested
           out yet...

 ennay: Some more utilities from High Society, once again, I haven't used
        this but I'm sure they are wonderful. :P

 amptor: Yet more utilities I haven't tried yet.  Well, I haven't really been
         doing much with my GB-X lately anyway.


 Sweed: BO! only a tool this month, and an updated version to it aswell this month.
        nice util, especially the zip support addon on V1.10, nice work csd1 :)

Total GB Releases From 'Independent' : 3              GB Total Points = +03
=============================================================================

 harlekin: Two games and one "trainer" from the independent section this month.
           Cross Country Racing doesn't get any points, because there was no
           *real* proof that this one was released earlier than the MNC-release.
           I guess the Pokemon-Editor will make all the pokemaniacs out there
           happy =)

 amptor: Still good to see some independant releases.  Maybe some of these guys
         would be interested in joining groups.

 ennay: And here we are, the independents managed to get some pretty decent
        games and trainer out this month.  Not much else to say.

 Sweed: Now a trainer from an individual.. seems like making trainers is IN
        nowadays..

Total GB Releases From 'Lightforce' : 5               GB Total Points = +10
=============================================================================

 harlekin: Despite whatever RKR say's (...heheheh) - no firsties from LFC this
           month. Both Dogz & Catz seem to be games for all the mad GBC
           collector freeks out there...i guess you'll appreciate those. Imho
           GT2 has to be the release of the year..hehehe :)

 amptor: Haha. Why is the April Fool's joke release listed here? Well, I didn't
         get this release because I knew it was fake.  Didn't they say it was
         released by Nintendo?  Well anyway, good joke. I saw at least ten
         people who fell for it, even though it was only listed for a mear few
         hours on Subport. Not much for me to say about these releases.
         Tonka Raceway  seems to have good gameplay, but I thought the vehicles
         were too large and I ended up needing the mgd3 for something else.

 ennay: Oh yeah, Gran Turismo 2 was an amazing game on the PSX, but the GBC
        version definately is better.  ;)  Some major releases come from these
        guys this month, with Azure Dream being my personal favourite from
        this group.  Good work!

 Sweed: Lightforce were totally fast on releasing Gran Turismo 2 too everyones
        suprise :)))) more virtual pet lark.. i have a real cat so i didnt
        feel the urge to maintain a 2nd one, plenty more international releases
        all an all a sweet month for LFC as usual, prolly same again next month

Total GB Releases From 'Menace' : 6                   GB Total Points = +18
=============================================================================

 harlekin: MNC got back to buisness and released 6 out of 7 new US firsties.
           With all the GBC sales going mad I really wonder why only such a
           few games get released in the US. With more games MNC would've
           been prolly back on No. #1 this month...

 amptor: Menace picked up more major releases this month.  Most noticable of
         these were Rainbow 6 and Pokemon Trading Card Game.  I know both
         games were highly anticipated, but many people were disappointed with
         Rainbow 6.  Pokemon Trading Card Game seems like a real good game
         for people who like Japanese style card games.  Personally, I don't
         have enough time to play it at the moment.  This game should be a
         top seller in the shops though.

 ennay: Menace once again manages to pull out most of the USA titles, from
        the opinions of others, its either you love these guys or you hate
        them.  I personally dont have any grudge against these guys, so I
        guess I'll be neutral.  (Yes I realize I'm contradicting myself,
        but who cares)  Keep up the good work boys!

 Sweed: 6 new games from menace.. 2 Yankie sports rubbish, and Pokemon,
        1 goodish title Rainbow 6, and then the regular crap you get on any
        console, spose for the average american its a great month

Total GB Releases From 'Oldskool' : 22                GB Total Points = +46
=============================================================================

 harlekin: I'm going to quote some scener here - nuff more said :
           "I'm glad that he gets them and releases the stuff. It gives me more
           stuff to look at etc and if he didn't do it then we would either not
           see the stuff or have to wait forever to see it."

 amptor: Well now I can see why people have complained about the charts in the
         past.  I remember, in the SNES days, Japanese titles used to get +01
         points quite often in charts.  Oh well at least it seems like many
         of the Japanese games for GBC are good, opposed to how much stuff was
         coming out for the SNES.
         Anyways, the best games in this list are Meta Fight and Metal Gear.
         The Japanese version of Metal Gear does not have an English option,
         so I didn't get very far in it.  Meta Fight actually is the Japanese
         version of the upcoming Blaster Master.  This is a great game and
         I highly recommend it if you like platformers.  In case you are
         not familiar with this game, you basically control a tank.  Inside
         the tank is a person you can use for parts of the mission where the
         tank is not allowed to enter.  The views are side scrolling (all the
         tank areas are this way as far as I've ever seen) and overhead (the
         game goes into overhead view when you enter a door after exiting the
         tank).  This is a nice port of the original NES game.

 ennay: Wow, look at all those Jap titles from the folks at Oldskool, Faz
        must definately be busy this month, and despite what people think
        about this group, they are releasing the stuff, and they managed
        to sneak in the most amazing "Metal Gear - Ghost Babel" into this
        months release.

 Sweed: Well suck my dick and call me charlie.. 22 releases, Especially
        1 biggie, Metal Gear solid havent tried it yet as i assume its mega
        jap, Pocket pro wrestling was hard as nails i nearly
        broke my GBC, the game name Monkey Puncher that instantly turned me
        on.. tho i never got around to playing it, gutted that Snowboard
        Champion wouldnt work....

amptor: Props out to Paradox for joining us again this month.  Good job
        releasing Crazy Castle 4.

 harlekin: More US stuff from the guys from TC. It'll be interesting for me
           to see if they can be any threat to MNC next month.

 amptor: Good to see TC still in action.  Not much to say about this stuff, but
         good thing it was all released.

 ennay: Perhaps this is the only group that will give Menace some competition
        on the USA front.  Good work!

        with USA Versions (with different boxes?), Jerry McGrath didnt catch my

 harlekin: Nuff said...

 amptor: Nice to see Utopia putting out more trainers.  These guys are so silent
         in the scene that it's hard to tell whether or not they are still around.
         Well hope to see ya in the next issue of mgsci

 ennay: Some trainers released by Utopia, its good to see that Capital isn't
        the only group that has the ability to do trainers.  Keep up the good
        work.

 Sweed: 2 Trainers.. nice to slowly see other groups getting more trainers out.
