-\/- -- ------------>> introduction.

Howdee.. everyone seems to be on holiday and we are already a bit late
with the december chart issue, so I thought I'd take care of things this
time. So greets to zANEr who is on holiday and Zigor who I could not reach
aswell and I hope I did this issue in a way that satisfies you aswell.

Thanks to Fazwonga from Oldskool, Gilligan from DCS, Loaded from Eurasia and 
Ninja from Paradox for commenting this month's action and helping out!
Also thanks to Rotox for informing me about a few things!

Well, some people are not quite satisfied with our point-system,
especially regarding the Multi-Releases. I guess you can expect a few
changes in the point-system for next issue, sorry if someone had a
disadvantage because of that this month. Judge for yourself.

Greets, Lordee/GBScene Staff/Lightforce!

Comments about CAPITAL's work during December:
----------------------------------------------
Faz!: CPL not active for a long time, but this month they beat every shit off.
      Powerspike Volley was a very great game. I guess there is too much to
      comment since it's a good mix of GAMES and TRAINERS.

Gilligan: Capital's massive amount of releases continues - This time they
          managed to put out a total of 24 releases, which again results in a
          total of 88 points - great. Capital used to mainly release trainers
          and only few games in the beginning, as you can see looking at this
          though things have changed - 21 games and only 3 trainers.

          And if you look at the christmas eve.. the 24th, you see 5 games.. 5
          xmas presents :-) However I suggest those sceners that have been
          naughty throughout the year should delete at least 3 of them - the
          others can keep all =)

Loaded: Taking a break from their usual trainers, CPL completely dominated
        both Europe and USA. They brought a few notables, Pokemon for the
        those who like that and a few racing games.  We'll have to wait and
        see if CPL can kick some more ass in January, but odds are definitely
        in their favor. Nice work guys.

Lord Chaos: Finally, Capital's Suppliers bring the full package this time
            and show they are not just good for Trainers but can keep up
            with both. Some quite nice games among this, a pity that most
            of them are puzzle or racing games but do not forget to check out
            Pokemon Puzzle Challenge if you are a fan of Puzzle games!

NINjA: Wow, really awesome work by CPL, they now cpl, they really dominate
       both the American and European scene and besides they always find time
       for some Trainers! Hope we can expect the same work on GBA!

Comments about DUAL CREW & SHINING's work during December:
----------------------------------------------------------
Faz!: I am surprised to see DCS releasing USA games again. No JAP releases
      this month!? Whats going slow ?

Gilligan: Hm.. if I was a politican i'd just say "no comment" and run away
          now - but, oh well.. lets face it, a horrible month with only one
          lousy release from us, and as far as I remember it didn't even
          include an intro.. too bad. (yes "too bad" you stupid
          intro-remover-patch-users :-)

          I hope that we'll show some more next time - we actually missed one
          release by 20 minutes to another group..bad luck I say.. but
          that's no excuse :-)

Loaded: Not as active as they have been in past months, DCS brings us a very
        nice title, a good racing game which I enjoyed.  I hope in the coming
        months DCS will be back and in full force for some good competition.

Lord Chaos: DCS give a small sign of life with this release, which is for
            sure a quite nice racer compared to the crappy ones out there.
            The possiblities to get Games are for sure present, so now use
            them more constantly and DCS will play a great role in the future!

NINjA: Well, nothing much from DCS this month, I expected some jap releases
       but it seems japan is controlled by OS.

Comments about EURASIA's work during December:
----------------------------------------------
Faz!: Sgt. Rock on the Front is a funny little game. I like it much. Nice to
      see Eurasia back in the biz in the past month! Greetings to Fredro &
      loaded!

Gilligan: Seems like Eurasia prefered to stay at home in the cold month of
          december aswell, but still they have 3 proper world first releases
          gathering a total of 12 points. Their acitivity on dreamcast (the
          ELF release in coop with lfc) probably cost some time too, so the
          3 releases are okay.

Loaded: I honestly haven't tried two of the releases; however, Sgt. Rock seems
        like a good Commando clone which seemed fairly enjoyable.  We'll have
        to see what Eurasia can do in the coming months.

Lord Chaos: Nice Eurasia still put some Games out, while Sgt. Rock is quite
            fun to play! Greetings to fredro!

NINjA: Seems the big times are over for Eurasia but they are still alive and
       bring us some nice games.

Comments about GAMEBOY LAMERS' work during December:
----------------------------------------------------
Faz!: GBLamers doing great things bringin the USA Release of Little Lemmings!
      Not much to comment, but a EURO release, too!

Gilligan: Oh great - pc to gameboy link - come on, if you have a look at
          devrs.com you'll find a link to get it for free anyway. Next
          release is another pokecrap one.. which i'd not even flash for
          money. And finally a Lemings game on 9th of december, which I
          simply didn't check out because I don't have a 32mbit flashcard :-(

Loaded: No comment

Lord Chaos: Lemmings could have been a release of the 'big groups' aswell
            but Gameboy Lamers seem to have been faster this time (cough).

NINjA: No comment

Comments about HIGH SOCIETY's work during December:
---------------------------------------------------
Faz!: Shit, I had that new Pokemon Game 1 day before in my mail server but
      was unable to check since I am moving at the time and still have no
      PC where I am. But well, there it goes out for High Society, thats okay
      then.

Gilligan: In december we see something (please correct me if I am mistaken)
          new from High Society, a jap release : pocket monster crystal -
          sounds like one of these unplayable pokemon like games though ?

          And they also released a keygen which might be handy for anyone
          who is in the need of graphic editing for gameboy color (Although
          you can actually register it for free if you send an email to the
          author :-) well.. this way HS saves you from wasting time to
          type an email.hehe)

Loaded: Another Pokemon game for all the fans. High Society was the only
        group to grab a Japanese title besides Old Skool. Maybe some
        competition for them? We'll have to wait and see.

Lord Chaos: High Society with an unplayable jap title and a tool which
            definitely comes in handy! That's the advantage of HS being
            a Group operating on many different platforms.

NINjA: Nice to see that my mates from HS have not been inactive this month.
       They didn't released much, but better than nothing.

Comments about HOTSTUFFERS' work during December:
-------------------------------------------------
Faz!: Hmm, will see, if well see more from them in this year!

Gilligan: This december we see a little comeback of the guys that are hotter
          than fire and faster than light.. however this mutli release isn't
          really the result of lightspeed supplying.hehe - anyway, 2 points
          for this neat little disney game.

Loaded: Another Disney classic remade into a GBC title.  The USA version was
        released last month, so this release is just more of the same.

Lord Chaos: Hotstuffers do what their name promises - bring the hot stuff!

NINjA: The Mekka/Symposium party posse is back! The Game isn't really worth
       a release but I guess some people want crap like this. Greetings to
       Lord Shit and Datenhengst!

Comments about LIGHTFORCE's work during December:
-------------------------------------------------
Faz!: Great work on that bunch of Trainers. Dunno if FIXED Trainers are cool 
      to mention, but anyways - good job.

Gilligan: And talking about light I just reached the monthly list of the
          lightforce releases - And what I see are 5 trainers and one USA
          release. Unfortunately the gift trainer was broken first, what
          means they fall back behind eurasia in the grand totals, which
          you'll see some screens down..

Loaded: Lightforce has proven to be a true training force, bringing a few
        very nice trainers for our enjoyment.  I will look forward to seeing
        what they'll do in the future.

Lord Chaos: Nice we brought at least one game out this month but I guess
            more is possible. A pity I had a little screwup at the Gift
            Trainer and did not even recognize the sound was missing while
            play-testing it, no points then.

NINjA: A lot of Trainers this month by LFC as usual. Nice trainers instead of
       ROMs, seems the LFC suppliers are asleep but the coder rescues LFC
       this month ;).

Comments about MENACE's work during December:
---------------------------------------------
Faz!: I love the M&M Game, its pretty playing well, also Yogi Bear is great.
      I remember that game playing on SNES. All at once a great month for MNC
      again, doing perfect quality.

Gilligan: Now look at this, menace was beaten by capital int the amount of
          games this time, as menace "only" managed to release 12 games.
          Games that should be mentioned here are Project-S11 - a rather
          nice looking vertical shoot em up, and Mummy which was quite
          nice aswell.

Loaded: Menace had a very good month bringing many quality USA titles.  As
        usual, they did a very nice job getting a good variety of supplies.
        They brought us the final version of M&M, although I doubt many people
        played the beta enough to look forward to the final. I guess that's
        what happens when you make a game about chocolate candy.

Lord Chaos: Capital left their marks on Menace's Releaselist this month,
            it seems. A bit less than usually but still pure quality.
            Check out Merlin which must be my favourite Game of this month.

NINjA: Many releases by the USA guys like every month. Now they got some
       competition from CPL and i hope that this proves to Menace that
       they're not the only group that can release USA titles.

Comments about OLDSKOOL's work during December:
-----------------------------------------------
Faz!: SHit, what a bunch of games! OLDSKOOL bringing again just JAP games. The
      time has come where they should mix up there release-list with some INT
      dumps. There you see some real phat JAP Rpgs! Very great names like:
      GRANDIA , DRAGON QUEST 3, YUIGIO 4 and WIZARDRY EMPIRE 2. Not very 
      playable for ourselves, but the Jap people will appreciate that, I guess.
      Disney Tunes is a funny game and Goemon is also very playable (and
      trainable?).

Gilligan: The jap force reaches a total of 50 points with there 24 releases.
          Unfortuantely there is a lack of playable games amongst the
          releases. The game I've really longed for is the sequel to my
          beloved game Hamster Club, Hamster Club 2 !! (yes I am kidding)

Loaded: Old Skool once again brings nearly ALL of the Japanese games to the
        scene. Can no one provide them competition? Notables include Dragon
        Quest III, Popn Music Disney, as well as Goemon. If OS could release
        steady USA / EUROPE games, they would truly be unstoppable. I'm
        certain they'll be back next month with almost all of the Japanese
        games. Nice work Faz.

Lord Chaos: Oldskool brings a lot of nice releases, which are, as always,
            unfortunately Japanese. If those games would have an option for
            American language, I would for sure enjoy some of them a lot.
            Goemon and Pop N Music Disney Tunes are playable anyway and so
            it means a point more for each of them! Respect to fAZ!

NINjA: Total Japanese domination by Faz, Nammy and co. I think there's no need
       for comments like "as always, usual" or whatever. OS is since years the

---------------------------------------------
Faz!: No bad games, who is PCX? Can't we count them to PDX?

Gilligan: Paracox ? hehe.. didn't check out neither of the games

Loaded: No comment

Lord Chaos: As I am one of the world's greatest ROM-Collectors, I am
            very happy about these releases (hmm?).

NINjA: Hehe, I could type a lot of things now, but I'm too old for this shit.

Comments about PARADOX' work during December:
---------------------------------------------
Faz!: Here we go. PDX ruling the EURO Scene. Nice to see MAXIMILIEN doing
      his job again after some years of abstinence (the old times were much
      better!).

Gilligan: Paradox.. doesn't that sound quite equal to.. oh nevermind. lol :-)
          As usual Paradox releases several europe multi releases
          (2 world first). Just like pokecrap I'd refuse to flash MS
          Entertainment Pack.hehe.. i'd prolly end up with a blue screen
          on my gbc, or blow my gbx or something.

Loaded: PDX manages to release two scene firsts and a few other games. Nice
        work guys.

Lord Chaos: Paradox gain their most points out of Multi-Versions of already
            released Games but they also made it to bring two majors and
            Tom & Jerry: Mouse Attacks is a really nice game!

NINjA: As usual (I'm starting to hate this word) nothing special.

Comments about RAPID FIRE's work during December:
-------------------------------------------------
Faz!: Deadly Skies. 1 good dump per month is good! Plays well.

Gilligan: Another release from RPF, and again noone cares.

Loaded: Rapid Fire managed to release a decent Europe game from a previously
        released USA title. Nice work.

Lord Chaos: This by rough hand leaded group brings us great entertainment
            one more time.

NINjA: No comment

Comments about RESISTANCE's work during December:
-------------------------------------------------
Faz!: Its very nice to have a new Trainergroup in the scene. Hope to see some
      more from you huys in the future. Greetings to 4play.

Gilligan: Hmm.. only 2 trainers from RSE, who previously provided quite some
          action. And hey, what the hell do you do on 31st of december ?
          you should have been getting loaded or something.hehe

Loaded: A somewhat new group, they've managed to train some quality titles. I
        hope to see what they can do in the future; I'm certain it'll be good.

Lord Chaos: While the Merlin trainer's description is a bit confusing to me,
            the Sgt. Rock trainer is done perfectly. 

NINjA: Oh, only 2 trainers this month. Getting bored of gbc already? Hope we
       can expect more soon.

Comments about the month DECEMBER:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Faz!: I am satisfied with Place number 2. Many Greetings to my friend Nammy,
      who made it possible. Not many New Entries, but some changes between
      the places. Peace!

Gilligan: Phew.. okay - finally reached the end (lord chaos is rushing me
          through this as my comments are the only ones missing. hehe)

          Capital climbed up to rank 1 with a respectable gap to rank two
          which is held by Oldskool, which again is followed by Menace.

          The total of releases is 85, which is normal in the xmas season,
          and which could have been even higher keeping in mind that next
          christmas everyone will look for gameboy advance games. Still I
          think that there are some good titles left which are still to come
          in the next few months.

Loaded: Another exciting month on the Game Boy Color. There were plenty of
        quality releases and a good effort by the scene. Not much else to
        say, I'm personally awaiting the release of Game Boy Advance. See
        ya.

Lord Chaos: A good month again for the GBC, I think. Lots of releases and
            some Trainers out aswell. A quite comfortable lead for the three
            great names in Gameboy business: Menace, Oldskool and Capital.
            And: almost everyone who is on the GB Scene put something nice
            out this month, that's how it should be.

NINjA: Beer and p0rn rules!
