OMG I am still reading!
awesome piece of work.
Mirage stuns with another amazing master piece, adding that water splash to the pic wtf!! But soon you will be challanged ;) maybee.. ish. :P
And Bonzai was deserved winner with Bromance, a shaggingly good hairy piece of work.
Haven't read it all yet only 35% so will read on here. |

| @bacchus Indeed it's hard to remember everyone. Your article inspired me though to make a sort of follow up on my own accord from the perspective of someone from NTSC land. I have already written it, we'll have to wait for the next issue. We agree on many things, however I have a different ranking of some people (I tend to leave groups out of it in general) and have some slightly different ideas on what makes someone great or notable. I hope my article is as enjoyable as yours was. |

| What a massive effort to put all of this together! I have just started to go through the interesting articles (It will probably take a while). I am glad I could contribute a little to this huge project. I was also a bit suprised to be chosen as the default song with all these talented musicians on the list! Big thumbs up to everyone involved, especially to Mirage and his intro picture. That piece of art is probably the best I have ever seen on our beloved machine! Just awesome. |

@fungus The issue with making such a compilation is that you easily forget people. I did a map of which of the major groups belong where. and in that process missed adding Triad. Such a shame and my good friend Jerry of course went bonkers.
It's not proper to add oneself to such a list - I leave that to others. But many thanks for saying I should, as did Sailor in a PM. |

Congrats to the team on another monumental release. I can only guess how much work this required. My favorite articles in this issue was the interview with Bob. It's nice to get into the head of the competition ;) Interesting thought to group coders into categories that way. I think it touches into the article about design. The whole retro scene has changed a lot and the articles tell a part of that story. Also the round table discussion and the graphics reviews were really interesting reads. Thank you. As Raistlin says in his comment, maybe the next round table should be online to get better dynamics in the discussion. On the graphics reviews - the fitness guy in Bromance. We were planning for some other effects in that part. That never materialized and we ran out of time to expand the graphics beyond 46 chars in width. So, it really just was a question of time :)
Thank you for awarding Bonzai as best demo group. We have had some very busy years, that's for sure. The past days have been really crazy and we are so happy with all the positive vibes we got from Bromance. all the praise and kind words mean everything when you spend so much time on something.
Thank you for letting me dish in with some thoughts of my own. |

Thank you everyone for your kind words! So many people to thank for their efforts in making this product!
Raistlin: Thanks for your kind feedback and glad that you rated this magazine so highly in your mini-review! On your comment on the "Quality Chart"; this represents who is releasing the best quality "games" first (this doesn't mean quality 'trainers' or cracking 'ability'). The quality points (decimals) per group are aggregated and then averaged (divided by the number of releases from that group). Each year, there has been a different group (in most cases) ruling that chart, essentially, it's not the volume of releases but choosing only the better games to release so that your average is higher. |

Great job guys, cool reading material, cool graphics (the intro screen is just amazing!). The tune that really stands out for me is Shogoon's. Brilliant sound design (I was actually looking out the window for that pesky seagull that sometimes bothers us. Had to relisten to find out it was a sound effect!) Simple yet sophisticated and a wonderful atmospheric flow. Cool melodies too, everything fits together like a glove.
Stinsen's tune is another favorite, because it's a style that I found quite boring when it was 'mainstream', but this one I do enjoy, also because it takes me back to my younger days. It is quite a feat to pull this off on the SID I think.
Very proud to be part of this mega production that all these great people have been working on! And thanks for the kind words about Sunkissed guys ;) |

| Only saw the intro and the preface till now but "steamy masterclass in intro execution" wraps it up quite nicely. Wow, can't wait to read further and continue to be blown away. |

Excellent intro. Really nice (scrolling) image. The hires font looks great also.
One .sid in particular really grabbed me, and that was:
Sunkissed (8580) Youth & Yavin / Heatwave
(all the other .sid's sounded good also ^_^) |

Wow, really nice to see VN72! Awesome work, everyone! Now ... a review worthy of a whole VN chapter ;-p
The intro - wow, really nice! The huge bitmap, and how it blends through into the intro proper and the mag .. . Bonzai's text-effect from Christmas Megademo .. yep, this is stylish.
With the mag engine, all good .. a minor bug we found - but barely worth mentioning as I doubt most are CRSR demons like me to find it ;-) .. the REU version is obviously where it's at - I wish there was a batch file or config to auto-launch VICE with the right settings .. but, hey, we're all reading on real hardware anyway right? The disk version is very slow to load now, I'd say, now that we're spoilt by the Propaganda engine built upon Sparta's Sparkle ;-) .. I don't mind the disk-swapping as much as the load times and long pauses when paging through various chapters.
Artwork throughout is fantastic - great work from all involved, particularly Sarge and Joe. Music is awesome - Stinsen's and Magnar's particularly for me.
I like all the demo articles of course - the Design vs Code roundtable (though I would've preferred if we'd had it done as a real roundtable - my answers were all given without knowing what anyone else was saying), Making of Submerged and Median, Bonzai History Pt2, Demo Reviews and Awards all good. On the Awards, my only thought is that Walt, and Trap, truly deserved to win 2021. Like Trap, I wasn't a huge fan of FIG's demo, and pretty much for the same reasons... perhaps an Attitude-like committee for the Awards might work better?
Headline News .. being honest, I haven't read all of this yet. I can say already, though, I find it cumbersome to navigate .. it's just soooooo long. But, yeah, 18 months of news to digest I guess?
I'm not big into the crack scene.. but did find a few issues with this side of things. AoD owned 2021 of course, there's no doubt - though they upset the apple cart in doing that. That's not really for debate.. what I did find surprising was to see Onslaught placing themselves at #1 in the "Crack Quality" chart - to me this just highlights the problem with The List's scoring methods. The more qualified groups, Triad, FLT, G*P, etc are all placed low... with ONS and AoD taking the top places - and ONS doing so by a very high margin... I just find this sort of thing embarrassing to witness in the 21st century... we can do better. This lets down an otherwise excellent mag to me.
Sorry for the long review..! |

| Thank you for the props Bacchus, I'm flattered. Of course you belong in the list. I agree sailor is the best cracker still active today and he truly can crack anything. I think Mitch/Eagle Soft is the best cracker though, still the only person to crack Take Down Wrestling which is the biggest nightmare v-max ever written. I think you missed Ignorance in the list for the sheer volume of things he did under his various handles, more than 1000 games. All in all a very nice article, and the rest of the mag is outstanding too jazzcat and staff! Love the intro! |
