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. ------------------------------------------ Beep.
