Yes, this is the 2nd issue of the Nintendo64-Major-Charts! 7 game-roms this month but unfortunately no megacool titles! I hope we will see some cool ones from Rare soon. In my opinion too less games for a nearly one year old console. It seems that the expensive license from nintendo is too risky for the most of the (small) software-companies ? Furthermore I hope that the n64-demo-scene kicks ass soon! :) Icarus. ------------------------------------------ Back again for another month, woo 1 more release than last month, that must be a sign! Everyone is hoping August will be a good one, lets see! We said there would be some changes in the chart and we do plan to add those, maybe you will see them in the next issue.. I'm still not sure that a mahjong game should get the same amount of points as a playable game, so the point system could be altered a little.. Anyway, July saw quite a few homemade n64 demos and it was good to see them, They arnt counted in this chart but maybe we can start a demo section also..

Vic Tokais 3D-Beat'em'Up has brilliant graphics and show some cool effects. But i must admit the gameplay suxx a little bit. " Zigor : " Yeah, a nice release.. Ok this game doesn't beat such titles as Soul Edge or SF-EX but for a 1st generation N64 title its pretty cool. Compare it to Wargods and you know what I mean!

Zigor and I decided that MRC is the game of the month and I think the most of you agree - so 2 extrapoints! Let's have more" Zigor : " As you can see, MSFTUG & SC are now grouped together, I dunno if its a good thing yet but we will see. Yes, MRC is game of the month (It was either that or Dark Rift) MRC is fun but I did soon get bored of it (Wave Race Rumble is better still!) Anyway, For a scene that wants everything, MSFTUG provides that! ------------------------------------------ __ ___ \/ ___ _ _ __ \\__/\/\__// __ _ _ _ _ /_/\ \__ __/ /\_\ _ _ __\_\/__/______\__\/_/__ \/ _\__/ \__/_ \/ \ _/ _____ _____ \_ / -\\\__ \_@_)(_@_/ __///- \ \___ ·· ___/ / _ | | | | | | _ _____ _ _ _)\_ _| |_|__|_| |_ _/(_ _ _ _____ :_) \ _)\/(_ \/ | | | | \/ _)\/(_ / (_: | _) ** (_ | | | | | | _) ** (_ | | _ \__ /__\__ __/__\ __/ _ | | /(_____/ \_ _)____(_ _/ \_____)\ | | | | | | - THE BEST GROUPS FOR THIS MONTH - | o1.
