     FIRST WORDS...

   Okay, what I want to say first is that Zigor can not comment this september
   issue of the major charts.. but be sure he is right back for october!
   I think it was a nice month for the N64-Gamers in world.. fantastic
   releases and even the long awaited Bomberman 64 was released.
   WOW! - the first N64 selectable trainer came from CZN!! We want more!

   In IRC many people asked me why I combine the points from
   MSFTUG and SONCRAP. And now it is official! I can not combine the points
   of the MSFTUG and SONCRAP releases anymore! In the next issue I will split
   them! So, Actraiser or whoever is responsible for the two groups merge 
   them together to one or I will split the points in issue #5

   REASON: Although MSFTUG and SONCRAP share the same members - its NOT THE
   SAME GROUP! You can not compare it with Anthrox+Swat - AS is ONE group,
   they release ALL the games under the same label!
   Simple example taken from Amiga - Prestige always released crap games
   under the Zenith label and both groups had the same members, too!

   The same with MSFTUG+SC! Sorry...

                                                              Icarus.

Icarus: " Okay mates.. here we go! the long awaited Bomberman 64!
          Again some confusion with the release! first it was broken on
          some FTPS - but "Happy End" for AS! and I think its worth to
          be game of the month! :). Although its in japanese language
          you can find through to menus very good - So 8 Points!!"

Icarus: " Jikkyou World Soccer 3 is the same as ISS64! - How confusing
          coz I thought Striker is the JAP version of ISS?! - Anyway
          its the same as ISS64 PAL or US so 4 points!
          Clayfighter 63 1/3 is a BETA-Version so 4 Points i am looking
          forward to the final-version!

Icarus: " TRSi and Lightforce released the PAL Version of WG3D in the
          same day/time. On some boards LFC was faster and on other boards
          TRSi was faster, so I decided to give TRSi and LFC 4 points. I
