Hi folks,
I was offline due to some serious stomach problems... Damn, I missed too many courses at University and I really don't feel like studying during term break. Well, I'm glad that you guyz are still around!
Marko...
Freezing your butt off or enough FINLANDIA around? Sorry for not having sent that 264 picture/article... I was pretty knocked out! Still care for it? Actually, it'll be easier for me if I could sent the magazin article instead of scanning it 'cause I don't have net access at my place and the public terminals don't even have disk drives (though some huge 21"
monitors).
LUCA...
No, haven't played NEMESIS II. Actually, the COLOR GAMEBOY is my first...
I never really liked the green displays but the new one is kickin' ass!
Well, maybe the color... they should call it GAYBOY! BTW, really cool games are the SMURFS (I-III) by INFOGRAMES (that's french... When I bought SMURFS III for my brother I pronounced it properly but the clerk (jerk)
said it's "infogreyms" (like games with an "r"). Smart ass... I said just gimme that damn game, would you?!
No, I'm not disappeared... Took me a couple of hours to check my mailbox!
Some INFOGAMES, uh game info:
In Germany "1942 - Battle of Midway" (That's the title!) was XXXXXXed.
They re-released it as "REACH FOR THE SKY"! It's exactly the same game...
And when I trained it (It's one of plus/4's toughest!) I even found the original title "BATLLE OF MIDWAY" somewhere in RAM (TIME for hbs... Hey Crown, not that I really care but BRUCE DICKINSON is back... They kicked this Blaze dude... "VIRTUAL 11" was lousy, anyway! If they tour Berlin, I might be going there just for "crack"... As my Irish dudette Shelley would say!)
More not so well known games...
Do you guys know GREEN BERET on C16? It's not worth the tape!
HYPERSPORTS, another tough one... maybe it even got some bugs. Is there a disk version around in HUNGARY? (Having some heavy snow coming down, huh?
Finally a good use of military!)
A couple of months ago, I got three (CBM) Cartridges with adventures...
I haven't checked the games 'cause I wasn't able to squeeze anything more into my duffle bag when I returned to Berlin. But the packaging is really cool: It's like a cardboard C16 with a keyboard printed on it (and some fony ports around the sides)! Has anybody seen this before?
Also there's supposed to be a DISK VERSION of EUROPEAN GAMES which differs from the TAPE one... (Not done by some cracker but an original release!)
About the BOM Megademo...
It runs only on 1551 drives... But if anybody cares I could do a 1541
version. Actually, I "unprotected" all parts in 1991... The 1551 loader was decoding them while loading which was really neat I thought back then.
Also, the demo has some cool FX (compared to other German demos at that time) and, best of all, it got "converted" SCROLL TEXTS! For those who haven't been around in 1991 (Anybody? Or just old freaks here?): At that time most plus/4 demos featured some converted C64 FX...
Okee Dokee, more soon if I won't take a trip home... (or a trip at home? I don't think so...) So long,
CHICKEN
