Since nobody else is doing a chart at the moment, i thought to do one.
You might like it, might not. Check it out and see. I wanted to also
include a trainer, docs, and /X tools chart, but due to time constraints
this month i had to put that on hold. So get it next month for those
results (sorry LTD., we would have probably won the trainer part this
month if i had time to do it, oh well, you'll have to get busy this time!).

This issue is divided into two sections, the Cracking Chart and the CD32
Chart. If you have any comments or ideas about this chart, just drop me
a line on any major bbs you can find me, or you can sometimes find me on
my own : The Courts of Chaos - 501-329-2793.





                           The Cracking Releases
                          =======================

Usually, first release only. I won't reveal the rating system here, but
some things to take into consideration: Larger games are generally worth
more than smaller releases, releases which aren't 100% don't get 100% of
the points, fixes are worth variable amounts, depending on what is fixed.
The top 3 games of the month are given bonus points. A little look and
you can probably figure out how the points are given anyways...

  1.  PARADOX (895 points)        With the collapse of Fairlight, Paradox
                                  easily takes the top spot with 8
                                  releases. Paradox lost some points
                                  because of releasing Arcade Pool as AGA
                                  only and Sensible Soccer for not being
                                  100% cracked.

  2.  TRSI & ZENITH (530 points)  A good showing for TRZ in their last
                                  month, 3 major titles, including the
                                  game of the month, Elfmania.

  3.  QUARTEX (275)               Just when you thought they were dead,
                                  they turn up with the second best
                                  release of the month and a text file
                                  pointing out everyone else missed it.
                                  One good release can go a long way these
                                  days.

  4.  PRODIGY (250 points)        Sometimes they come back... with a
                                  really nice, 3rd best game of the
                                  month, and enter at number 4. Congrats
                                  must go to one of my old groups for
                                  some nice releases lately.

  5.  HOODLUM (240 points)        Hoodlum might not care if they release
                                  games late, but everyone else does, so
                                  they get nothing for their late, badly
                                  cracked, and not 100% version of
                                  Ultimate Pinball Quest. They did manage
                                  to release the AGA and ECS versions of
                                  Impossible Mission 2025 without duping,
                                  an accident maybe?

  6.  ASPECT INC. (160 points)    A division of Delirium. But a seperate
                                  group for the purposes of this chart.
                                  If the 2 had been combined, they would
                                  be sitting at the number 4 spot though.
                                  Both German games released this month,
                                  and they got them.

  7.  DELIRIUM (110 points)       If Paradox hadn't released that 50%
                                  release of Arcade Pool, we wouldn't
                                  have even heard from Delirium this
                                  time. Delirium seem satisfied to
                                  fix or release what nobody else does.
                                  Thankfully, someone cares.

  8.  FAIRLIGHT (55 points)       Just one fix for Sensible Soccer. No
                                  original cracks at all. Looks like the
                                  Fairlight of legend really is dead.

  9.  GOD (50 points)             Simulmondo rules! I guess that's why
                                  GOD tied for dead last with Interpol
                                  for releasing 2 new exciting Time Runners
                                  games. At least Paradox and Classic have
                                  given up releasing them, that's something.
                                  No points for Battle Toads 100% - as
                                  it was not needed, but it's easy to see
                                  how that happened so don't blame them!

  9.  Interpol                    Super Nibble - Nibbly Nibble 2 - not
                                  much of a game, but it will tie them
                                  with GOD.

  1.  ACCESS (350 points)         Access made good this month by
                                  releasing the wonderful, enhanced,
                                  Ultimate Body Blows (16 megs hd space).
                                  Word was the game was not 100%, but it
                                  works fine if installed right. By
                                  releasing this and Summer Olympix 100%
                                  it looks like Access will be a good
                                  CD32 group.

  2.  Shining 8 (200 points)      Gunship 2000 is AGA. So there. Stop
                                  saying it's not. No major enhancements,
                                  but still a legitamate CD32 release.
                                  Striker was 100% the same as the
                                  disk version, so nothing there.

  3.  APOLLO (100 points)         Not a group, but rather a member of
                                  Classic. Released under his name.
                                  Surf Ninjas sucks, there's no two
                                  ways about it. But with only a few
                                  legit cd32 releases, it's a tie for
                                  3rd place.

      IMPACT (100 Points)         Frontier v1.1 - no enhancements to
                                  CD32. A 1-disk game converted to
                                  CD, only re-optimised to take
                                  advantage of the processor. Nuked on
                                  many boards but no fake. 

  5.  LEGEND (50 points)          A fix for the lame Surf Ninjas,
                                  without Legend many CD32 games would
                                  still be unplayable.

      LSD (50 points)             Fire & Ice is still the same old
                                  game (good), but now HD installable.

      Fate/QTX                    Not a group, a guy, with a fix. A fix
                                  for Gunship 2000 that is.


Titles in the CD32 section with no points means the game is either
totally non-working, no different than the original, or just crap. These
should have never even been released. Lemmings is the CDTV version
released years ago... nothing from Phun ever works... The other Concept
releases are just the normal versions with large animation. Recommended
downloads: Ultimate Body Blows & Frontier. The only difference between
the CD32 version and the disk version is the game is optimised for
the AGA machines, nothing else. Gunship 2000 IS AGA, but no better than
the disk version. Surf Ninjas is the lame game of the month. Not
available on disk, thank god! Summer Olympix is now 100% working, and
an amusing game to waste a few hours on. Fire & Ice doesn't seem
enhanced at all, and in fact, runs fine with AGA turned off. But the
game was never hd isntallable before so it gets some points (and it's
still a great game even though made in 1991!). Except for Ultimate
Body Blows and Summer Olympix 100%, a lame month for CD32 games.






That's the end for this time, back in 1 month with an even bigger and
better (?) issue!
