Issue #2, December 1995

PREFACE
~~~~~~~
Another month, another issue of the infamous major release charts, this
time with absolutely no new design nor new features, except for the fact
that I just decided to include foreign game charts as well. I still don't
feel like including any utilities into the charts just due the fact that
there're simply TOO many and I can't (and won't) check all of them if
they're major or not. If you wanna see some charts which include all the
utility releases, check out aminet's top d/l chart. :)
Well, some of you may seen the text released by Orb about their release
of Pinball Mania, so there's my statement: You guys seem to really need to
release at least something, just because I've NO FUCKING IDEA what you're
talking about. Try to cheat someone else please. If you still think your
release is more final than the one from TCE, please COMPARE both releases
since there're absolutely NO differences except for the AT thing. Bug
fixes? GET LOST. It's not my fault when you guys wasted money on an
useless original, but there's one thing you maybe should think about:
Check with someone who actually IS member of the scene since you guys
aren't. Period.
Another thing you may have seen are the "Real Crack Charts" released by
Nitro/Prodigy. Well, be honest, are things like who supplied a game or who
cracked it really THAT important for RELEASE CHARTS? What should that be
good for? Anyhow, Prodigy got rated as the number one in their own charts
- huh - wasn't exactly THAT the reason why I want to keep THIS charts not
involved to ANY group? Maybe the last issue was a bit unfair to Prodigy,
I'm not that asshole who doesn't accept any mistakes, always remember that,
but since I included charts for the foreign stuff as well now there
should't be any mistakes and stuff in the future.
Just another note to all the groups who would like to be a part of this
charts but can't somehow (or just call it lack of originals) so they're
just releasing HD-Versions of games which are already installable (since
they're DOS) or those really anoying AGA-Fixes of games NOBODY still wants
to play: Just STOP releasing this totally USELESS BULLSHIT. Thanks alot.
Happy 1996.
- Ed.

Although Galahad called it a fake/useless release I gave them 5 points
anyway, just because this version actually WORKS for me when the FLT one
didn't. As simply as that is.

it seems to be that they should check some boards first before releasing
something.

don't really need any CD32 rip's from games which are fucking ancient, do

LAST WORDS
~~~~~~~~~~
Some further note about foreign or especially polish games: Due to
fact that most of the games which are coming from poland are fucking lame
(there're always some games which aren't) you can't really get me checking
'em all if they're playable or worth downloading. Decide yourself.
As you may have noticed, I still didn't included the Trainer-Charts,
well, I'm a lazy bitch, but hey, gimme a break, it's already alot of work
just to collect the "normal" charts :)
