Faz!:
Yeah, well... this issue comes out in 2K, but it has been written
still in december. So its not offical a 2k issue, hope we can do that
next month. Welcome Konfused as Guest writer this month.Oh, its time to
sleep now, so no more lame words...

Gilligan:
Welcome to the first mgsci issue in the year 2000 ! :)
I hope everyone had a nice xmas with lots of presents and a rocking
start of the new year.

Hm.. seems like everyone is still as it used to be..
y2k didn`t cause the total chaos resulting in the doom of planet earth
as lots of weird minds predicted it :) At least it was amusing to watch
people freaking out about that crap.. buying survival kits etc ;-]

This time mgsci has a cool new section... scene interview!
And we`ll also try to get a guest writer for every issue..
This time it`s Konfused/MNC! ;-)

This is meant to make the charts a bit more enjoyable to read..
Not just boring release statics.. Even more fun stuff to come in next
issue, which will hopefully be released a bit earlier :-)

amptor:
Well back in 1989 I would have never imagined that the Nintendo Gameboy
would still be going strong. Sure enough, here we are and with a
new color portable system for the millenium. Introduced in 1998,
this was an excellent move in portable video gaming. Without the blurr
of all its predecessors, Gameboy Color is the best portable system yet.

Welcome to the new millenium and expect many more releases from your
favorite console groups!

Konfused: Hello, and welcome to the 2nd issue of the MGSCI, and they first
for the year 2000. Here you have the chance to remember the month.
Maybe 10 years from now you'll find this on a disk somewhere and
you'll remeber all the fun of the GBC scene, by that time maybe
you will have outgrown playing with Gameboys which after all were
made for little children. Anyway i wish they would make the GB
slighty bigger for us kids with giant hands.

NOTE: Since this is an International Gameboy Chart,(not just a European one)
We include all releases from the end of the month in USA time.
So for example... If a group releases a Game in the last hours of
the previous month in USA Time it's a new month in Europe, but
it was still old month in USA. So we will of course include that....

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

. Remember.. We are making this for fun and we are not trying to
have a war with anyone or such lame things (you know ...)

So if you wish to contribute in some way or maybe you want to take part
in commenting on the releases, then leave an e-mail to any of the guys
behind "Monthly Gameboy Scene Charts International" listed at the end of
the mag or contact us on IRC in the elite-channels.

General Words about the actual month
====================================

amptor:
Realeases are coming stronger than ever. This month breaks
all records of the top amount of games released in color. It almost
seems like SNES days due to large amounts of cartridge based games
due out each month.

-=-

Faz!: Following the mass of releases and games in November, December looks
equal. Many games were released and you see some new groups take
part in the Gameboy Color Scene. December - thats all the same
with the "Merry-Christmas-Bla-Bla" and the "I-wish-you-a-happy-New-
Year" slogan. I hate that, same procedure as every year. This year is
the Millenium. Pff.. well...I don�t really care. Anyhow, It wasn�t
very easy to keep an eye on every game (for me). I tested much, but
haven�t played every game. There were of course many japanese games.
Looks like japanese families got satisfied with the Gameboy Color.
Hmm, I am typing too much shit right now, I am still drunk from my
Christmas parties.. So, on with the charts...

-=-

Gilligan:
December was a month with tons of releases, which were again
mostly released by menace, and of course the trainers for these games
come once more(and this time only) from capital. And they`ve also
got a cool new trainermenu from wk. check it out if u haven`t yet.
A pitty that we didn`t see any gbx xmas demos ;)

Not so good to hear is the result of the nintendo vs bung trial..
But I don`t really care to much about that.. I guess bung will keep
on selling their products to everywhere else but usa :-)

And I am really looking forward to see a ngpc backup device from them
in feburary (at least that`s what the rumours say)

Konfused: This was a great month for the Gameboy Color, probably due to the
popularity of Gameboy and the rush to sell games to all the
spoiled kids for christmas. Gameboys were selling like crazy due to the
Pokemon craze and there were lots of games to go along with it. There were
way to many games to test and many were Japanese so I didn't get to
fully test them. All the Japanese games were sure to please all the
Japanese families who got a new present from Anual Gift Man.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Group Releases & Totals....
===========================

. Ok, let's take a look at the months releases and groups (A-Z Order)..
BTW.. It's a hard work to keep track of all the shit that get's released.
Don't start crying if we forget a little release from you and don't
complain for more points if you release a Mahjong or Pachinko game!!

Comments..
----------

amptor:
Ah always nice to see a massive amount of trainers. These guys train
everything that is worth training. I'm glad to see they put trainers
out for both Bomberman games and Little Magic. Clearly you can see
that these guys know what quality games are, even if they are Japanese.

Capital released three games this month. Suprisingly to me, Konami
came out with an excellent colorized package of games that CPL released.
I love this one! Contra is included and is one of my favorite B&W
gameboy games. I used to flash it along with Castlevania, which is
also included, and a few others. Good work on this release! And the
trainer as well!

-=-

Faz!:
Great work from Capital. They are the safest source for Trainers if
you need them for a game on the GBColor. I am glad that the Bomberman
Max Games were trained. Muste have been a hard work, eh?

-=-

Gilligan:
As always CAPiTAL provides the scene lots of nice trainers. Two nice +6
trainers which get rewarded with 2 points each.(check the point system)
And look at 10th dec! CPL strikes with 3 titles. Konami Gameboy Collection
is quite nice imho.

Hmm... I wonder if anything will really change in GBC
scene or if cpl will always be the ruling trainer force and MNC the leading
game releasers... we`ll see :) At least for this month everything goes the
expected way.

One last note about that street fighter trainer.. it is under jan.2k at subport
but it has actually been released shortly before 12:00 ;-]
Jesus.. don`t u guys ever party ? hehehe

Konfused: Tons of trainers from CAPiTAL. It's not like they had much
competition, but its nice to have a group doing them. I especially liked the +2 for
Little Magic, which i thought was a great game. CPL also released 3 games
this month the best being Konami Gameboy Collection, which was very cool.

Comments..

amptor:
I wasn't ever impressed with NHL games even for PC so I didn't try
this one. Well, Wayne Gretzsky for N64 was pretty fun to play with
my friend's son though. But that's about it.

Micro Machines 1&2 is pretty decent. I thought the game was going to
be too blurry. I should know better though since everything looks
great on the GBC's screen! In this game, you can select between
two distinctive versions of Micro Machines. I prefer Micro Machines
1 because the vehicles are smaller. Also, I found this to be easier
to play than the PC and SNES versions of Micro Machines for some
reason. This is a great game and definitely worth trying if you are
into Micro Machines games or toys.

Faz!:
Hmm, not bad.. wasnt there something more? Two great games, looks like
loaded is back from the grave...:)

Gilligan:
Only 2 releases from Eurasia in december... I remember Eurasia
and Capital fighting for the same rank.. now there is a differece
of 22 points between them. No trainers from eurasia either as xad is
going his own way in nightfall. However Micromachines seems to be a
good conversion.

Konfused:
It seems like Eurasia usually releases tools and the occasional
jap game. Its nice to see them also releasing english titles, nothing
great, but Micro Machines was OK.

amptor:
Stripping tools are cool and I was going to try GBL's, but I found
a better one that renames, strips, and checksum patches all GBC
roms for Windows 9x. So I since have forgotten about this one.
I'm sure it is good for people who like to use DOS a lot though.

Good job on releasing a handful of Japanese games. Suprising to see
this group beat OS and MNC to them.

Faz!:
Oh, shit. I love those Bistro Games. These japanese dudes are crazy
like hell, doing a Food Simulation! But i think that these games
could be very intersting if they would be english (or we would be Japanese!)

Gilligan:
4 jap games and another stripping tool. Haven`t tried a single game
of those.. Bistro Recipe.. sounds like a weird one =)

Konfused:
ANOTHER stripping tool and 4 jap games which are highyly
unplayable. The lamest GB group releasing world premiere games.. scarry.

amptor:
I bet some of you are expecting one of us to make a comment about RS
here due to these Barbie games being on the list. Well, while I'm
sure RS is busy playing these games or seeking out more DVD porn ;), I
don't think I'm going to make such a comment!

Now that that's out of the way, on to the other games. Funny thing is
I forgot Pac-Man SCE was released months ago as another version. I
tried this game out again without thinking about it and it is pretty
good. Roadster's Trophy was a disappointment compared to other recent
racing games. I thought it was going to be a clone of that other
Roadster game that came out a while ago anyway, which I found to be
pretty fun although very simple.

Faz!:
Cool to HS in December,too. Thers not much difference between
Barbie (French) and Barbie (German), but I guess if they won�t
have released them, an other group would have. So go on next month.
What the hell are these stupid "Visiteurs" - isn�t that sick ?

Gilligan:
High Society is back with some more gbc stuff..
Nothing too great, but 5 valid releases after their
Mr.Nutz trainer last month. Would be nice to see some more
trainer releases :) greets to the dudes in #hs

Konfused:
Nice work from HS, who released many European games this month.
These games will be nice for the European who wants to play games
in their native languages.

There's nothing new about this game, but i guess its nice for the
collectors among us.

Great Stuff, I remember these games came on Holy Evening and I wasn�t
reachable. At the same time I lost my I-Net account otherwise 2 of the
games would be "unplayable"-Skool Stuff...

Gilligan: Seems like someone wanted to make some xmas present to jap game lovers
with these 3 titles :)

Konfused:
Nobody knows who the original supplier is so it was released
independantly. The 3 titles are completly unplayable.

amptor:
Hmmm.. 3 more Japanese titles that were released by other people.
Good work. Maybe you can join a group :)

Comments..

amptor:
Wow 80 points to Menace this month. Due to the large amount of
titles here, we see most of the best quality games out this month.
I remember hearing Rotox say that Armorines GBC is better than the
N64 version. Well, maybe the company who made it can learn from this
hehe. A different developer probably made the GBC title after the
N64 version was in progress anyhow.

Here we see several games people were waiting for for a long time.
Among them are Deja Vu 1 & 2, Game and Watch Gallery 3, Vigilante 8,
Street Fighter Alpha, and Star Wars Episode 1 Racer. Each of these
games are great. Good work on getting these out to the scene!

There are mixed feelings about how Street Fighter Alpha came out.
Personally, I think it's the best fighter on GBC (well really I find
Transformers to be more fun though because I'm sick of the same old
SF characters in SFA). I'd probably be more exstatic if they would've
ported SFA2. SFA seems to have had a short life in the arcades and
consoles. Too bad SNK isn't going to port any of their fighters to
GBC. I bet theirs would be fine on the GBC, but then I haven't used
the NGPC enough to be able to definitely say they'd work.

-=-

Faz!:
No comments, Boombastic like last month. most of the releases are
very good games! No Japanese games this month? What went wrong?

Gilligan:
Wow! A total of 27 releases from menace in december 99.. 80 points!
Several nice games including Wings of Fury, Star Was Episode 1 Racer..
and that Caterpillar Construction Zone was somehow amusing =)
Unfortunately SF Alpha was a utter disappointment - for me at least.
I guess if u want to play beat em up`s on handheld u better give ngpc a try.
Anyway this is a great month for menace..

And I think I know the secret of their success...
They must have an insider supplier from Old Santa's little house at the northpole,
where all the presents are stored until deliverence on december 24th :-]

Konfused:
A great month for Menace. Some very good games, Episode 1 Racer,
some disapointments, Street Fighter Alpha, some wierd stuff, Catz
& Dogz, some bad games Nascar Challenge, and some games for kiddies among
us, Mary Kate & Ashley. A very mixed bag from Menace this month.

Hello Dave, hi Paolo. Nice to see some great games from the Italian
Stallions!

Gilligan:
2 games from Nightfall.. Seems like many people like that stranded kids game.
Will we see some more nfl trainers any soon ? :-)

Konfused:
Nightfall releases some games for the all the collectors.

amptor:
Ah Stranded Kids, the European version of Survival Kids. I like the
name. Reminds me of people's stories of when they were kids in
shopping malls.

Haha..well here's Deja Vu again (didn't I see this one earlier? ooh!
that's deja vu!). Oh it's the US version and MNC released the Europe
version. Phew.. that was almost eerie.

amptor:
OS releases almost all Japanese games this month. About half of these
are great. Check them out. The Bomberman games are classic Bomberman
games this time, making them better than all the rest that were
released previously. Hopefully these will get ported to the English
language.

The exception in this list is Halloween Racer. I don't understand why
this wasn't held until Halloween 2000. It's a real nice racing game and
by that time, I'm willing to bet that its quality will not have faded,
as I'm expecing that there's going to be a few more rancid racing games
coming out this year as usual.

Mickey's Tetris Challenge was a suprise to see come out because of all
the rumors that Pokemon carts were #1 on Nintendo's priority list.

Well, as always, I'm hearing about shortages of Nintendo cartridges for
several games. This includes Beat Mania 2. The supplier of this title
managed to nab it just when it came out in stores. Good work on that!

Faz!:
Howdy. this group is lame as hell.... oh... Hmm, Muscle Ranking
is a great game. Someone could have trained it. Its an action/Sports
game and you can run along hurdles and stuff... I played it for ages.
Hmm, its not cool to comment to his own group. All in all I released
14 of these OS releases, so I can be satisfied with my status.

Gilligan:

The month starts with a re-release of Beatmania..
Last month`s release was a bad dump

As always lots of JAP releases from Oldskool and one multi langauge
release : Halloween Racer, which looks quite nice.

Konfused:
Again, lots of Jap stuff from OS. There were two bad dumps, which
were quickly corrected. Wonder what copier they were using? Anyway most
of the titles were completey jap, and unplayable. Little Magic was
a nice supprise, very addictive.

see that.

Way to go Elemental1, v1 owners will worship you a God.

I guess a lot of people have V1 carts. I don't because I waited.
I'm not really one to buy first generation copiers anyway.

Greetings to my old friends Trooper and Parker Lewis. It�s always nice
to see 1) my Asciis and 2) see QSR back in the scene. Remember good old
times on NOISETTE BBS and Freek World!

I am a Star Wars fan...

Gilligan:
Finally! Finally, after a peroid of silence from Quasar the guys are back
with Yoda Stories.. unfortunately however this game seems to suck big times.hehe
but that`s not their fault :-]

Konfused:
I remeber playing the PC version of this a while ago, it was
decent. This version is really bad, but I was looking forward to it and it was
nice to see it released.

amptor:
This is an interesting game, but the PC version was better in some ways.
At least this game is totally linear so you can pick up where you left
off. I found this game to be boring after a little while though anyway.

Aside from that, it's great to see our friends at Quasar back in action.
They haven't been releasing much, but at least they can kick out one or
so releases every now and then. Good work guys.

The Corporation... Again another group expands from the N64 to the GBC.
Thats always cool. It would be boring to see always the same group names
in the charts. Deer Hunter is a very funny game, btw. Greetings to Zodi.

Gilliagn:
TC starts their GBC activity with 2 games in december which means a
total of 6 points for the gbc newcommers. Wonder what other groups
are yet to come to start gbc activity...
CZN fighting CPL with trainer releases ? :))

Konfused:
TC is mainly and N64 group, but they joined in the GBC fun towards
the end of the month. A challenge to MNC domination of the US
releases? we'll see...

amptor:
Two quality releases from TC this month. This is the first month
TC has released GBC titles. Good work and we look foreward to seeing
more competition in future months!

Amazing to see OS still in second position with all the action
coming from CPL this month. Great work to everyone in the scene,
making this month have the most game releases. It's also great
to see more innovations in trainers from CPL, including them starting
to do in-game options.

-=-

Faz!:
Yo... Hmm, I am not that analyzer, people can read numbers...
Its nice to see my group is still active in 2k. I never thought of that
before, when I decided to quit the scene 1 year ago. I guess some
people will be glad that I am still here.

-=-

Gilligan:
The TOP 3 ranks are absolutely equal to last month: Menace on top, leading
with a point difference of 48 points! before Oldskool followed by
Capital on position 3 with 4 points less. High Society made the biggest
jump from last month` position 7 to 4 in december. Eurasia and Nightfall and
TC sharing position 6, Quasar and the hotstuffer both 3 points, both on position 7..
And finally RPF on pos 8.

Konfused:
This was a good month, lots of groups who were inactive joined in.
There were also tons of releases. Menace ends up on top, and Oldskool
and Capital follow. GBL is number 5, it's been a good month for them.

This is a new section in mgsci and we hope everyone will enjoy it...
It`s meant to make the charts more interresting to read.. From now
on there will (hopefully:) be an intreview with some scene dude
in every issue. And for this first time we picked
Mr.GBC-Trainermaker himself...:) ....

Gilligan :
Hi Wayne!

WayneKerr:
Hi Gilligan :)

Gilligan :
Let`s start the interview with some general questions..
What was your first computer u spend hours in front of ?

WayneKerr:
ZX Spectrum...16k then 48k...great machine, although I
never did much beyond using my Multiface cart to transfer
tape games to microdrive...now I see they are popular in
Russia and there's a cracking scene since the 90's
My first "scene" machine was the amiga really...I was in
many demo & cracking groups over the years

Gilligan :
So u started scene life in the amiga demo scene ?

WayneKerr:
Yeah, just as a swapper then I got into making soundtracker
music (.MOD)...made my way through several groups, stayed in
Dual Crew/Shining for the majority of these years...
But I really preferred the cracking scene so I had an
"alter-ego" and was in several amiga groups like Nemesis,
Ministry, and of course QTX...

Gilligan :
How did u get into console scene then ?

WayneKerr:
A lot of amiga guys got into the SNES/Genesis scenes in
those days, and I followed suit...I was in a lame little
group called Parsec for a while, which later became PREMIERE,
but by that time I had lost interest and I was too lame to
do anything major anyway :)

Gilligan :
So CPL is the first console scene group u are
actually active in ?

WayneKerr:
No, I wouldn't say that...I did some things for amiga/pc
groups that had console sections (like TRSI and QTX) but I
didn't produce stuff on console myself until CPL

Gilligan :
Lots of people keep on grumbling how much better the old
days were, the times of BBSs and real elite groups... and
that everything is so lame nowadays because of the internet...
What do u think about that ?

WayneKerr :

They are totally right...:) I guess people always think
"the old days" were better, partly because it all seemed
fresh and new then...it's hard to have the same enthusiasm
when you've been doing it for 10 years or more...:)
BUT, I do think the scene was better when it was...
a little more exclusive than it is now...take a look
around #gbc someitme...:)

Gilligan :
What do u think about intros on game releases and
patches to remove these intros ?

WayneKerr:
Intros on game releases is cool...the scene has done this
ever since the first ever cracks...the console scene has
also always done it, ever since ppl learned to code on each
system...

Having said that, the only time when I personally think you
_shouldn't_ put an intro on a game, is if there are multiple
copiers that differ for a system, and you can't test the patched
game on each of them.

Removing intros for any other reason than to fix them
(ie: they didn't work on your copier) is in my opinion just
as lame as downloading MNC-GAME.ZIP and re-releasing the
rom as GIMPS-GAME.ZIP...

Gilligan :
Do u think there is a lack of sharing technical info in
the console scene ?

WayneKerr:
Nope, not really...all the info is out there somewhere, I
get quite annoyed with people who beg for info when..

(a) they didn't even look for themselves, or
(b) didn't ever try it, and just want to use someone elses
code to save them the effort

However, I really don't mind helping people who have tried
something and don't quite understand it, or they can't
remember something they've done...that is no problem...
I hope they would do the same for me :)

Gilligan :
What do u think about the n64 and the psx scene ?

WayneKerr:
Well, I'm quite surprised the N64 scene isn't more advanced,
seems like only a few guys (CZN, PDX and few others) have any
idea in the 'warez' scene...PSX is getting slowly better,
a lot of nice trainers and cracks, although I'm probably
biased because I made a few psx trainers myself hehe
but these are the last of the 'pirate-scene' consoles I
think...ppl will copy dvd-based games, but I doubt there will
be much coding on them in terms of intros/trainers

Gilligan:
Are u looking forward to a ngpc scene ? I`ve hear rumours
that Bung will start selling gbx adaptors to copy ngpc games
in feburary.

WayneKerr:
YES! In my opinion, the handheld scenes will be _THE_ only
scenes in the future due to the storage requirements of
other formats...so I'm _really_ looking forward to taking
CPL onto NGPC and then GBA too :)

Gilligan :
What's your all time favorite console system ?

WayneKerr:
Hmmm...probably SNES, even tho I didn't code on it, it had
the best in terms of groups doing cracks/trainers (ATX!)
and some real quality people, most other scenes since have
kinda sucked but there are always cool people who rescue
even the lamest scenes (Titanik on N64, Freefall & Xor37h on PSX)

Gilligan :
Can u make me a trainer for xyz ? :)

WayneKerr:
No, but I can help you make a trainer for xyz :)

Gilligan :
I`ll give u some words and you gimmie your spontaneous
thoughts in 3 words max

WayneKerr:
hehe, ok...

Gilligan :
Nintendo

WayneKerr:
Cool games!

Gilligan :
dolphin vs psx2

WayneKerr:
psx2 by miles

Gilligan :
Emulation

WayneKerr:
with debugger = rules!

Gilligan :
drugs

WayneKerr :
are for lamers...

Gilligan :
Okay.. that was it.. thanks for your time! anything you`d
like to tell the zillions of readers out there ? :)

WayneKerr:
Heh, thanks for the interview! And greets to anyone who
is actually _doing something_ for the console scene, and
anyone who will in the future! Seeya on NGPC...bye.
