  No betas, pre-releases, "candidates" are looked over.  We also do not     
 intend to award credits for the "store releases", "100% releases" etc. as   
 long as the previous release is fully operational.                          
  Newer versions will only be graded if any major differences accured       
 from a previous version.  No update patches or any other kind of update     
 will be covered. No scenery disks and add-on missions.                      
  No Windows, CD-ROM, Novell etc. games.  DOS games only.  No educational   
 games and collections like Larry "1 through 6". No online and door games.   
 Each game will be rated on the scale of 10 as follows, this rating + size   
 bonus + "trained" extra point will make up the # of points awarded:         
     1  WASTE      3 BAREABLE     5  NICE      7  GREAT        9  AWSOME

 deducted for the un-cracked game.

                        We would like to apologise
                        for the misatke we made on
                        the January compilation,
                        which we accidentally put
                        out as a "February issue".

                        Every place it reads:
                        "February", it *should*
                        have been January.  The
                        filename was also made
                        SCEN0294.zip, so this
                        file will be called
                        TS0294.ZIP to prevent
                        more confusion.










01/29  scx_snib   Super Nibblies  (c) Cosmos                SCOOPEX
                   This is a very nice puzzle game
                   based on the concept of the ancient
                   SNAKE game, but much changed, plus
                   SVGA and SB sound make this game a
PLAYABLE           treat.  SCX also trained this game
5 Points           before releasing!

02/01  sr-ramp    Rampage Wrestling                         SKID ROW
                  (c) Lance Haffner Games
                   The worse piece'o'garbage TEXT game
                   I have seen!  Wrestlers are assigned
                   levels and hitpoints like in AD&D and
WASTE              u get to choose what moves they use
1 Point            against each other.  Shame on SR!

02/02  pin2kptg   Pinball 2000  (c) Frogman Software        PENTAGRAM
                   Nice 2 pinball tables, almost
                   similar to the Fantasy Pinball
                   released by RAZOR last month.  Not
PLAYABLE           original though - only get it if
5 Points           you are a big Pinball fan.

02/03  timerun9   Time Runners 9  (c) Simulmondo            RAZOR 1911
                   9th issue of this rather strange
BAREABLE           and pretty weak combination of an
4 Points           arcade and a quest.

02/04  gen1rzr    Genesia  (c) Microids                     RAZOR 1911
          2        An OK strategy game.  As RZR.nfo
NICE               mentioned, it DOES remind a bit of
6 Points           Populuos, but not half as good

02/04  avg-f27    Fulminator F-27  (c) C.E.C.               AVENGERS
BAD                 Very standart shoot 'em up.
3 Points            Not impressive at all.

02/09  nx-jpds1   Jeopardy: Sports Edition  (c) Gametek     NEXUS
PLAYABLE      2     Sport oriented version of Jeopardy.
5 Points            Only good for sports fans

02/09  kingdom1   Romance Of The Three Kingdoms 3  (c) KOEI RAZOR 1911
              2     This is a series of strategy games
              3     based on the events in Chinese history.
                    The game is not too demandant/popular
                    though - TOO similar to the older
BAREABLE            games in thsi series and other strategy
5 Points            simulations of this type.

02/13  timrun10   Time Runners 10  (c) Simulmondo           RAZOR 1911
BAREABLE            10th of, as RZR calls it, "the
4 Points            soap opera game series for PC"

02/17  timrun11   Time Runners 11  (c) Simulmondo           LEGEND
BAREABLE            Number 11.. what else to say -
4 Points            is there an end to this series?

02/17  brtlftbl   Brutal Football                           LEGEND
                    Great and funny sports game. Same as
GOOD                Crazy F. released by RZR b4, but
6 Points            faster and is a full sales release.

02/17  trsiare1   Arena - The Elder Scrolls  (c) Bethesda   TRISTAR AND
              2     The first in the new RPG series, this   RED SECTOR
              3     game is pretty nice and wouild sure     [TRSi]
              4     make the wait for Ultima 8 less
              5     painful.  Much controversy on this
              6     title - read the special report in
GREAT         7     this issue of THE SCENE
17 Points     8     Not cracked:  1 point deducted

02/19  trsi-ex1   In Extremes multilingual  (c) Blue Sphere TRISTAR AND
              2     Wolf3D style game - this time a full    RED SECTOR
              3     version after RZR's french version      [TRSi]
              4     released.
GOOD          5
14 Points     6

02/19  trsiolaw   Outlaw 1997  (c) Sandbird Software        TRISTAR AND
BAD                 Cheap clone of Mortal Kombat, only      RED SECTOR
3 Points            playable by 2 people at a time.         [TRSi]

02/21  aacfptg1   All American College Football             PENTAGRAM
              2   (c) Microsports
              3     This is a very nice football game.
              4     Nothing really special, but much
GOOD          5     better than EGA APBA Baseball
14 Points     6

02/23  caw2ptg1   Carriers At War 2  (c) S.S.G.             PENTAGRAM
GOOD          2     Flight sim., a pretty good one.
10 Points     3     Worth the bytes.

02/23  carlos     Carlos  (c) Microids                      RAZOR 1911
                    A cheesy platform game.  Very
                    cool graphics, but awful coding.
                    You are some fat guy running
                    around the levels and killing
BAREABLE            creatures mario-style by jumping
4 Points            on them  <g>

02/24  scumwb     We Are Back - A Dinosaur Story            SCUM
                  (c) Hi-Tech Expressions
                   Another low-budget platform,
BAREABLE           this one based on the movie.
4 Points           Very much like cheap SNES games.

02/24  trsist-1   Star Lord  (c) Microprose                 TRISTAR AND
              2    The weird mix of the strategy game       RED SECTOR
NICE          3    and a flight simulator. Rips off         [TRSi]
9 Points           some ideas from Civ and Dune 2

02/26  airlines   Airlines  (c) Interactivision             THE HUMBLE GUYS
                   Real cheap strategy game - plays
BAD                a bit like A-Train but with planes.
3 Points           THG beat TRSi by about an hour on it.

02/26  nomadr-1   Nomad  (c) Gametek                        THE HUMBLE GUYS
              2    The space-mercenary game, much like
GREAT         3    Solar Winds.  Very nice.
12 points     4

02/26  trsidrs1   Dragon Sphere  (c) Microprose             TRISTAR AND
              2    An excellent Lucasarts-style             RED SECTOR
              3    adventure, truly one of the best         [TRSi]
              4    games of the sort lately.  There
              5    are still disputes whether or not
              6    this game is a final version, we
              7    will award the credits, but remove
AWSOME        8    them l8r if it proves to be a beta.
18 Points          No crack.  -1 point
