(it's a m'S prod! -ed) remember - all you say here will be in art bomb :) [HiJACK] wait a mom =) ... I gotta invent something intelligent to say ;) [ MR ] that line will be in art bomb, but I guess that's ok - it sounded smart :) arn't you going to ask me how it's going to be a FIRE&ICE production? not curious about that? please ask me, pleeeeeease... :) (it's a mo'soul production, read the news section -ed) [HiJACK] Why is it going to be a FIRE&ICE production?-) [HiJACK] (remember to put YOUR lines too, or I have to make a capture ;) ) [ MR ] well, let me tell you Hijack: MO'SOUL and CONTRA are joining forces and h2O wanted to re-start FIRE&ICE. so that's how come it's going to be a FIRE&ICE production (yes, I'll put mine inn!! :)) (it's a mo'soul production, read the news section -ed) what's up with ARCLITE these days? it seems dead the whole group.. [HiJACK] Hey hey hey! It's not dead... actually we are going to release the biggest coop ever... We got everybody on Arclite working on it, except g.e.m. (even SY-KLONE is involved!) [ MR ] excuse me while I have an orgasm.. any saucy details to give away? (art bomb prolly wont' be released for a while 'cause I'm such a slow-ass ;)) [HiJACK] Also some non Arcliters are involved, like couple of graphicians (Cyclone/Illusion, Mistral/Parallax, ...), and music is propably going to be done by tjm/parallax... and the gui is coded by mop/essence [ MR ] sounds like a demo...IMPACT "world of ascii II" :) or is it going to be like the old UPPERCLASS release that got some gfx&music from.. hm..TRSI methinks? (isn't this interview going well boys&girls?) [HiJACK] Well first of all, impact's demo was an assembler coded demo which was made to look like ansicoded one. My collection is going to have an ansicoded intro which is ment to look like an assembler coded one =) [ MR ] a-ha, do you fake orgasms too? just wondering ... or do you do real orgasms to pretend you're faking them? [HiJACK] The collection itself is kinda like the collection from upperclass, except that all the logos are ANSIANIMATED, and the gui is more complex. [ MR ] ok, enough serious talk - what about the orgams? I WANT TO KNOW!!! [HiJACK] So what was the question? Do I fake orgasms? Yes of course. I'm a 100% fake. Every picture tells a lie. [ MR ] oh,take pictures too,eh? know what I mean, nudge nudge,know what I mean? [HiJACK] Humm... not really. I don't confess anything. Everything you have heard about me is a lie. Stay awake. You are what you see. [ MR ] that's a jedi mind-trick that there, rite? hah, you can't fool me! I know what you're trying to do!! but to get back to the arclite power release: why isn't G.E.M featured? lazy? dead? gone missing? homosexual? abducted by aliens? [HiJACK] Well it is a mystery really. I think he was abducted. Exocet visited his place, and it was empty. There was only a little note on his desk.... IN CASE OF ABDUCTION 1. Remain where you are 2. Give or do whatever they ask 3. Forget everything that happens (end of note) [ MR ] awh, how sad. well - guess the aliens are trying to make him pregnant now by mating him with another male they took from earth.. poor Green Erotic Monster..or, was it Green Eyed Monster? his name suddenly sounds ironic (enough kidding about G.E.M, we love you!!) anything you want me to ask you about? any question you'd always dreamt about answering? *** Sent DCC CHAT request to hijack *** DCC chat connection to hijack[193.166.133.10,2536] established [HiJACK] Hummdidumm. Dunno... [ MR ] If I say "cream", what do you think of? [HiJACK] Arclite. Cream of ascii scene [ MR ] oh, I was thinking of putting some on a pair of female breats and licking it of..oh, kids might read this? erm. cookie, that was what I was thinking..erm..caugh..if I say "kingz"? [HiJACK] Arclite. The kingz of ascii scene. [ MR ] no question about the "Z" that's not supposed to be there at all? [HiJACK] Nope. I guess it just your inventions, since you are so cool warez & codez kid ;) [ MR ] well, not I've got a GOOD one for you: why the HELL did I request a DCC CHAT from you when we're not /MSG'ing eachother? (donno what we're talking about? get a modem + internet abbo and get on IRC!) I mean "now" not "not"..gawd, it's 00:45..what can you expect for fucksake? 8) I mean darn's-sake..eh, no! I MEAN FUCKSAKE! ANARCHY! FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK! [HiJACK] I guess you are just plain stupid? [ MR ] sssssh, don't tell anyone!! [HiJACK] Sorry.. you can edit that part [ MR ] damn, now they all know :-( well, ANARCHY! FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK! now, greet ONE person. not two, but ONE person. go on, I dear you - greet ONE person.. [HiJACK] Greetings to SCHWA [ MR ] see how that made the interview more interesting? [HiJACK] You are not very good at this are you? Interviewing people I mean.. You gotta dig the dirt =) ... let me do the job for you... [ MR ] SSSSSSSSH!!!! DON'T GIVE AWAY ALL MY SECRETS YOU GIT! [HiJACK] Dear mister Hijack, is it true that you are actually the YOUNGEST arclite member alive? [ MR ] well...is it? [HiJACK] Well yes it is true. But I am 20,5 years old, so the others are pretty old farts [ MR ] anyone in wheelchairs playing bingo? [HiJACK] Nope, everybody is younger than 30 =) OK.. next question.. dear mister Hijack, is it true that you bought a +PC!?!?!?! [ MR ] pc? if you bought a pc, I'd have to kill myself right now.. [HiJACK] Yes it is true. I bought a pentium 150Mhz. And I don't hate it. [ MR ] why? [there's a knife in my hand...hm] [HiJACK] Because I'm studying datacommunication engineering, and it's kinda hard without a PC. I need programs like word, mathcad, microcap, excel, corel, c++, ... [ MR ] but why not upgrade a toaster with a color tv or something nice? btw: what a bunch of crap programs, none of them show's jpg's..? [HiJACK] Blaah.. next question.... dear mister Hijack, is it true that you have FINALLY moved to your own apartment? [ MR ] no, I want to discuss the PC!! can't we, please? sod the appartment, tell me about the toaster! [HiJACK] Sorry interviewer, this menace to society (markryder) wants to talk, but I'll get back to you soon, ok? OK rydie, what about the pc? [ MR ] erm...what color is it? [HiJACK] Almost the same as my amiga... and it has a cool Hijack sticker in the front... and an alien sticker [ MR ] can I have the alien sticker? pretty please with suggar on top? [HiJACK] If the Xenon coated sticker is red, you have recently been abducted, but I have forgotten everything about it Shit ... I ment I have been abducted ;) [ MR ] can't you give me something interesting? here I am trying to make a perfectly serious and good interview,and you're just kidding around. what am I going to do with you? [HiJACK] It turns red every now and then.... Humm.. /bye ? [ MR ] already? what if some one wants to know more? let's ask...anyone? [HiJACK] AL-READY.LHA ... my next collection... [ MR ] that's good piece of information that there! damn nice, fucking great, pissin' awesome and phat shit - all in one. best we've had this whole interview! I'm going ape shit now! but to end it all... anything you'd like to add before we go? (funny jokes, stories about horrid aliens?) [HiJACK] You wanna end already? I was just getting started :) [ MR ] ok - tell me about life in finland and how you feel it is to have an own appartent while trying to study? where do you keep the appartment while studying? [HiJACK] Well I put it to my closet [ MR ] is it also the same color as your amiga? [HiJACK] Nope... I have confession to make. I don't even have my amiga here. [ MR ] ARE YOU TALKING TO ME FROM YOUR PC?!? [HiJACK] YES! And I'm also checking out some ufo pages with netscape.. that's why it takes so long to get an answer from me :) [ MR ] ARGH! PC! ANARCHY! FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK! BLOOD EVERYWARE!!! AAAaa*... [HiJACK] Check out http://www.ufomind.com/ Uhmhmm... dear mister Hijack, is it a good time to ask some questions from you now? [HiJACK] Not really, but go ahead anyway... [HiJACK] Dear mister Hijack... is it true that you FINALLY got that v.everything? [HiJACK] Yes yes. And I also got a ti-92 with no batteries. [ MR ] I AM THE GHOST OF MARK RYDER!! is that the same color as your amiga? [HiJACK] Nope, they are both black. My amiga is red [ MR ] red? poor thing, did you cut your wrist when your dad came hauling with a PC too? or are you a part of some satanic cult that sacrificed your amiga? [HiJACK] Nope, I just have some leftovers from my adventures. It's actually XENON coated alien blood, it is normally GREEN, but when it's within 1 mile of an alien, it will turn red. [ MR ] red leftovers from adventures? what adventures? hijack goes pussy- hunting at the all-virgin school of sex? oooh, did a virgin xenon? naughty!! [HiJACK] And as you know, THEY ARE HERE NOW. [ MR ] RUN RUN, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!!!!!!!! [HiJACK] Dear mister Hijack, do you have any final words? [ MR ] lucky me, I've got a portable amiga so I can ask questions while running...so, got any? [HiJACK] Yes, I would like to send some greetings to all the nice dudes I know, especially to all the Arcliters. [HiJACK] Feel free to send fan mail to: rt3097@tutech.fi [ MR ] what's all this green stuff around me all of a sudden? [HiJACK] ARCLITE - There is no escape, because they are BIGGER THAN YOU and that's why YOU MUST LOVE THEM [HiJACK] P.S. I'm not schizophrenic, I'm stezotehic.

Dean is currrently an inmate at San Quentin Prison in California and is awaiting his fate on "Death Row". His desire in these columns is to give you an idea of what it is like as you wait to die. Bill Noquera is also on Death Row a few tiers down from Dean and spends his time drawing. Column #1 of 11 Hello, my name is Dean, I am sitting here in my cell on Death Row in San Quentin Prison. I do not intend to discuss my case because that is not why I have agreed to do this page. I would not feel comfortable using this forum to try and focus attention on myself, I am not the issue here. What I do feel is important is I give you a perspective of the Death Penalty, the justice (or "just-us", as a wise man once said) system, life in prison and hopefully I can give you a reasonably coherent account of what it is like from where I sit. You have all heard what the media, politicians, and others who have their own agenda, have to say about crime and the Death Penalty, so maybe I can provide some balance to that. Although I said that I do not intend to discuss my case, I want to say that I vehemently deny committing the crimes that I am sitting here on Death Row for. The reason that I mention this is because I feel it is important for you to know this since it is why I have the attitudes and opinions that I will be talking about. After Alex and I discussed doing this page, I hung up the telephone and it started to sink in and I wondered what I had gotten myself into. Trying to explain what life on Death Row is like, fighting for your life in the court system, and trying to keep a grip on your sanity in the process. One of the difficult things, is to keep your perspective and not let yourself become overwhelmed by the incredible pressure and stress that you have to deal with, not just in dealing with the system, but also in just trying to stay alive and survive from day to day in here. There are people in here that give up and commit suicide, others slowly lose their mind and end up being medicated. The prison is concerned to the point that anyone here is able to function from day to day until they are to be executed and psyche drugs help towards that goal. After talking with Alex, I didn't have a clue where I should start, what to say and how to say it. There are so many different dynamics involved that I seriously doubt if it is possible to adequately explain what it's like. It would be like somebody from another country asking you to explain what America is like. You can talk in generalities, but when it gets down to the nuances that really get to the heart of it, you just cannot put it into words that will do it justice. The best I can do is talk about some of my experiences and observations and let you draw your own conclusions based on that. I am not a spokesman for anyone else on Death Row, or in prison, or the county jails, nor is it my intent to be one. Every person going through the system has their own thoughts and opinions about this insane environment that we try to survive in and I wouldn't presume to speak for them. But, you are stuck with me and, even though I will try to be objective about it, I can't help but be subjective in many of the things I will say. You can take what I say with a grain of salt, you might think that I am full of shit, or you might agree with what I say, all I want is for you to keep from making a judgment until you hear what I say. The news media says that more than 80% of you support the Death Penalty and since we all seem to dance to whatever tune the news media plays, I will assume that most of you are not sympathetic towards me, or the others sitting on Death Row. All I ask is that you keep an open mind. There is the sense that people on Death Row are slobbering animals that should be kept in a cage and executed as soon as can be arranged. I have even heard on talk shows where people have advocated an electric chair right in the courtroom, and as soon as the verdict is rendered, strap the person in and cook them. Never mind that the system makes mistakes, what are a few innocent people being killed, as long as you can get rid of the others in the process. But most of the people on Death Row are fairly normal. Sure, there are the ones here that I would never turn my back on. There are some people here that would make Hannibal Lechter seems like a nice guy. But as I said, most guys here are not slobbering lunatics or cold blooded killers - but there are some here that could be put in that category. If anyone is interested in asking me any questions, I will do my best to answer them. You can send them into the e-mail address on this page. It takes about 3-4 weeks, after the mail arrives at the prison, before I will get it, so be patient, and I will do my best to get back to you. I will not talk about my case, my personal life, or anything else that could be interpreted as self-serving. I will be glad to talk about the issues, life in here, or other related topics if you want to ask about them. Just don't be discouraged if it takes a little while. Also, if I get too many questions, I will not be able to get to all of them. A bit presumptuous of me, but I was just trying to cover all the possibilities. One last thing before I go. I am not being paranoid when I say that I will do this page for as long as I can, but I have no doubts what-so-ever that the prison will harass me for doing this. And they do some really dirty things to people that they have a grudge with. They hate for anyone to talk about what it is really like in here, or what the system is like, so they could come down on me or set me up in some way so that they can cut me off. If this happens, Alex will be able to inform you. It isn't that I intend to try and portray anyone, or anything in a false manner...it isn't necessary because the truth is enough. I will write for as long as I can and I look forward to being able to "talk" to all of you. Peace, Dean · : · : : __ : _____:_ /\_\ : / /\ \/_/ [ aRT^BoMB ISSUE:oNE // \ __ / a mO'SOUL pROdUCt ] /_/\ /______/ : / \_\/ \: \ :/ : _ ___\: : . . . . · ··· BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD, MOVIE STARS? ··· · Yep, MTV's simple-minded metal heads have leaped from the tube to the silver screen in a feature-length Hollywood epic -- well, sort of -- called "Beavis and Butt-head Do America." The movie's Tinsel Town premier drew the likes of director Quentin Tarantino and TV sitcom star Roseanne, and the goofy teen-age duo has already appeared on David Letterman's show and on the cover of Rolling Stone. It's also been an interesting time for the man who created them, Mike Judge. Especially considering his hard-to-believe "secret." "I haven't told my mom about Beavis and Butt-head yet," said Judge, trying to keep a straight face. "She thinks I'm a stockbroker. Judge is making money like a stockbroker, anyway. Back in 1992, while still a graduate student, he invested in a $200 camera and made a small cartoon about two 14-year olds obsessed with sex and bodily functions. INSTANT CELEBRITIES Beavis and Butt-head became almost instant celebrities when they appeared on MTV's animated show "Liquid Television." Their own, self-titled show followed. The characters gained unwanted attention when a 5-year-old boy in Ohio set his sister on fire. Beavis and Butt-head's unabashed fascination with flames set an example the boy followed with tragic consequences, claimed the dead girl's mother. Other parents criticized an episode in which the characters took a tumble in a clothes dryer. A harmless ride in the world of animation, but not really a good example for impressionable youngsters. MTV learned its lesson and soon moved the show to a later hour. Now in its fourth season, "Beavis and Butt-head" has spawned countless merchandising opportunities and is the network's highest rated series. What else was left except the big screen? ON THE LOOSE The movie's plot is simple, if appropriately ridiculous: Our heroes lose their TV and set off across country, with government agent Robert Stack in hot pursuit. Cloris Leachman of "Phyllis" fame plays an elderly lady on a plane. And then there's a familiar voice not credited at the end of the movie. Demi Moore, perhaps? Judge won't say. He merely plugs the movie when asked who the voice is. "Ummm, you know, you can figure it out for yourself if you go watch it," said Judge Paramount, the studio backing the dim-witted duo, is promoting Beavis and Butt-head like major stars. And what do the two kids think of all the fuss? If you watch regularly, you already know: "This sucks." · : · : : __ : _____:_ /\_\ : / /\ \/_/ [ aRT^BoMB ISSUE:oNE // \ __ / a mO'SOUL pROdUCt ] /_/\ /______/ : / \_\/ \: \ :/ : _ ___\: : . . . . · ··· T H E P R O D I G Y - I N F O z ··· · their coming album, entitled "YEAR 2000", has (for those interested) the following track listing FIRESTARTER, BREATHE, BLOW YOUR MIND, FUNKY SHIT, BENNY BLANCO WE EAT RHYTHM, MINEFIELDS, ROCK'N'ROLL, SMASH MY BITCH DOWN THAT RAGGA TUNE?, MONKEY MAFIA MONKEY, WE CAME HERE there will come an OFFICIAL PRODIGY WWW PAGE. right now, we've only got independent people making their own prodigy pages. the OFFICIAL page can be found on HTTP://WWW.PRODIGY.CO.UK already online, an FTP with pictures & music - try it at: FTP://PRODIGY.IHR.QLA.AC.UK _ ___ ___ _ ( THE STORY ABOUT THE PRODIGY ) The Prodigy story starts with a 12'' EP called What Evil Lurks the four tracks of which were taken from the youthful Liam Howlett's first demo tape. The EP was enthusiastically received on the then-massive rave scene, and it remains a hardcore club anthem to this day, as well as being one of the most sought-after pieces of dance vinyl of all time. On the back of the underground EP's success, The Prodigy gigged extensively throughout the UK, and were able to make their first trips abroad. In Italy they were hailed as pop royalty and mobbed by ecstatic ravers. On August 12th 1991, The Prodigy released their second single - the legendary Charly. There was a huge buzz around the track months before it's release, and that excitement was justified when Charly shot to No 1 in the National Dance Charts and to no3 in the Gallup Top 40. 'Charly' inspired a string of copycat records, and triggered the notoriously heated 'is rave dead' debate. Amid all the furore it was easy to miss the fact that Charly was one of the most successful dance records of the time, and far better than any of the opportunist tunes that came in it's wake. Twenty-two year old Liam Howlett is the musical force behind the Prodigy sound, although there are three other members who contribute to the live performance - Maxim Reality, Leeroy Thornhill and Keith Flint. Liam was once the DJ for the London rap act Cut To Kill, but he became dissilusioned with the rap scence's aggressive attitude after experiencing the 'Love, Peace and Happiness' that dominated the rave scene. Liam is also a classically trained pianist, whose ambition once was 'to get a record deal and put out a few tunes'. That goal was acheived very quickly, so Liam is now concentrating on maintaining his status as the most successful hardcore underground act, blending his unique sound of hip-hop beats and manic house music, and, most importantly, keeping the crowds happy. The next single was released on December 30th 1991. Although Everybody in The Place made an earlier appearance as a track on the What Evil Lurks EP, it managed to better the chart success of 'Charly' by peaking at number two. Only the shamelessly reissued 'Bohemian Rhapsody' kept the single from the top spot. The following September, Fire became The Prodigy's third hit single, paving the way for an album. Up until the release of The Prodigy Experience there had been no truly successful long players from the hard dance scene. The Prodigy's debut, however, completely rewrote the rule book. The band were determined to give their followers value for money, and the combination of new material and otherwise unavailable remixes of the singles which made up the album was clearly appreciated by the thousands who bought it. The Prodigy Experience entered the chart at number 11, was quickly awarded a gold disc, and then remained in the Top 40 for 25 weeks. Out of Space followed hard on the heels of the L.P, and became another Top15 hit, as did the last single from The Prodigy's first phase, Wind It Up. Despite the huge success of The Prodigy's rave-oriented, breakbeat - derived sound, Liam was increasingly feeling the need to develop his musical style. Because of touring in Australia, Holland, Germany, Italy and America and remixing artists as diverse as Jesus Jones, Front 242 and The Art of Noise, Liam had been exposed to a lot of new influences, and he wanted to reflect that in his future work. As he put it, "I realised that the band had to progress and evolve, that I had to get back to the music and move forward". When One Love appeared in October 1993, it was clear that Liam had done just that. One Love had more of a techno feel than The Prodigy's previous work, but the band's supporters took this change of direction in their stride and the single shot to Number 8. The single's progress was no doubt helped by the most ambitious video that the band had made so far. The One Love video was completely computer generated, made using brand new technology from the States, and put together over a demanding six weeks. The result was fantastic, and a definate advance for the band. No Good (Start The Dance) was released on May 16th 1994, and became one of The Prodigy's most successful records to date. The single was perhaps more accessible than anything else the band had done, and it reached number 4 in the charts, spending an incredible seven weeks in the Top 10. There could have been no better introduction to the band's second LP. When Music For The Jilted Generation was released in July 1994 it was phenomenally successful both critically and commercially. As the album entered the charts at number 1, the 'indie' papers unleashed torrents of praise. The NME described Liam as 'a Robocop and a modern day Beethoven rolled into one'. Select said Music For The Jilted Generation was 'the best electronic pop record you'll hear this year', while Melody Maker called the album "bloody essential". The public agreed. Music For The Jilted Generation went Gold within two weeks of its release, and has now sold over a million copies worldwide. A spate of award nominations have followed in its wake - the band were nominated for the Mercury Music Prize, won the MTV Best Dance award, won the best Dance LP at the Independent Dance Awards, and have been nominated for Best dance Act at both the Brits and the NME's alternative: The Brats Throughout their career, the band have toured almost non-stop. 1994 and 1995 continued in this proud tradition, as The Prodigy played all round the world, and became a leading fixture on the International festival circuit. Keith's radical flame-haired image put him on the cover of the NME and many other publications worldwide as the band wowed audiences from Iceland to Japan and back again. In 1995 'Poison' became The Prodigy's 9th consecutive top 15 hit, Electronic Punks put them into the video chart as well as the music chart, and they were universally hailed as the best act at the Glastonbury festival, confirming the band's metamorphosis from rave crowd-pleasers into one of the most exciting and adventurous live acts in the world. And what Liam's new material - due to see the light of day in January 1996 - will bring is anyone's guess. The Prodigy just keep moving forward. · : · : : __ : _____:_ /\_\ : / /\ \/_/ [ aRT^BoMB ISSUE:oNE // \ __ / a mO'SOUL pROdUCt ] /_/\ /______/ : / \_\/ \: \ :/ : _ ___\: : . . . . · ··· PLAYSTATION GAME-PREVIEW [ TEKKEN 3 ] ··· · t e k k e n I I I _ ___ ___ _ ( shots available in archive : M'S-001B.LHA ) According to SuperZero Game Xpress, Tekken 3 was revealed at the AM Expo in Hong Kong. Currently only 30% complete, the game is just out for testing. There were 9 characters selectable. They move even more realistic than before. This game is very important for the PlayStation. Tekken 3 is supposed to be running on an upgraded version of the System 11 board, and when it comes out for the PS, a plug-in will be included to upgrade the PS' capabilities. This will insure a near-perfect arcade conversion, and perhaps other high quality arcade games will be ported over as well. "Namco has finally released the first official Tekken 3 information, and it's amazing! The [Image] storyline takes place 19 years after Tekken 2. Apparently, Jun Kazama won the King of Iron Fist 2 tournament, and, in the process, was somehow impregnated by Devil Kazuya. Er... No, I guess I don't really want to know how that happened. Immaculate conception or not, Jun gives birth to Kazuya's son, who she names Jin. His grandfather, Heihachi, realizes that a mysterious, living power called "Toshin" or "Fighting God" exists in Jin, and when Jin turns 15 he begins to train him. Four years later, The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3 is called, and the 19-year-old Jin enters.." "Since Tekken 3 takes place nearly two decades after 2, all of the returning characters are [Image] extremely old. For instance, Paul Pheonix is now 46, Lei Woolong is 45, Law is 46, and King is 51. Evidently, these five characters plus the seemingly ageless Yoshimitsu are the only characters to return... all the rest will be new. Gameplay details are non-existent, but from these shots we can infer that some stages have actual walls, Fighting Vipers-style. There's still no word on the hardware, (other than that it's definitely not System 11) either, but rumors point to an upgraded version of System 11 called System 12..." · : · : : __ : _____:_ /\_\ : / /\ \/_/ [ aRT^BoMB ISSUE:oNE // \ __ / a mO'SOUL pROdUCt ] /_/\ /______/ : / \_\/ \: \ :/ : _ ___\: : . . . . · ··· PLAYSTATION GAME-PREVIEW [ RESIDENT EVIL II ] ··· · r e s i d e n t e v i l I I _ ___ ___ _ ( shots available in archive : M'S-001B.LHA ) The main characters Leon and Elza are both from different backgrounds, in fact, they don't even know each other, but eventually will wind up meeting each other somewhere. Depending on which character you play, the story will have some differences. But unlike the prequel, using either character will not have a difference in the difficulty, that means both are of equal challenge ! The plot is the direct continuation from the prequel, but none of the main characters from Resident Evil will be reappearing. This time, Capcom is making the game much more closer to reality, with additions of realistic traps and dungeons. The ending of Resident Evil 2 is expected to give the audience a deeper side to Resident Evil. This is one thing we can't wait to see! The game will also be concentrating more on the "height" element, so players will now have to be more cautious of what is above and below them. the weapons featured in the game will include a new model of beretta, which can fire three rounds with one pull of the trigger(sort of a semi-automatic handgun ). This beretta will have 21 shots in 1 cartridge. The shotgun and colt python from Resident Evil will also be making a comeback. At certain times, players can pick up a certain weapon in the room to kill off the zombies... probably SMGs and flame throwers are in this category, but Capcom has yet to reveal what this is all about. There are costume changes in Resident Evil 2, such as bullet proof vests to increase protection. If a particular costume has a pouch of some sort, it enables the player to store more items than the usual.. In other Resident Evil news, a PC-3D Engine version of Resident Evil is planned to be released, which will include original features that were not in the Playstation version. Also, Capcom has made an agreement with a German movie production company Constantine Films to make a motion picture based on Resident Evil. It is set for release in Japan end of 1997, and the production cost is estimated at $20 million. Constantine Films will be directing the movie and Capcom will be handling cinematography with the usage of CG animation.. The horror continues...... And forget about what you have heard earlier about a Saturn Resident Evil 2. Capcom has no plans of releasing it on any other system other than PlayStation. Circa July 25. The members of S.T.A.R.S. reportedly missing have now returned safely. From their testimony, investigators have found that the building in the deep forest was a laboratory experimenting and manufacturing biological weapons. Based on the studies of the chemistry team, it has been revealed that the giant medical corporation "Umbrella" has been performing the biological experiments. The top executives of Umbrella were immediately arrested, and the company was shut down completely. Now called "The Umbrella Incident", media around the world has made aware their biological experiments and conspiracies of terrorism. While this was occuring, another fearful incident was already starting... The peaceful Racoon City is showing signs of abnormality once again. It all started with a small skin disease. The citizens demanded an investigation, as they suspect the skin disease may be related to the Umbrella incident. But the government assured them that the case was closed and the skin disease was just an unrelated incident. But this skin disease has infected the whole city with tremendous speed. The peoples' entire bodies become sore, then immediately their speech, sight, and movement functions are damaged. Within a few days after the attack of the disease, hundreds of lives are lost, and the place has become a death city. Then they all arise from the dead and a new nightmare has begun. Attacking the few survivors, these dead men walking devour them! Those attacked now also arise as they join the rest, leaving the city completely disfunctial. This story will start off at the Lacoon Police Department. In search of a way to escape the horror, the desperate survival begins!!! Leon Scott Kennedy has just finished full training and now is a rookie cop. He is to report to the Racoon Police Department, as he gets involved into this horrific incident. Will his training cover up the inexperience? Elza Walker, 19, female. She tours around the country joining motorcycle races. As she receives word that she is accepted for the Racoon University, she heads off with her bike not knowing whats about to face her. She is very calm in any situation, and takes courageous actions(?) as she passes through the city full of zombies. In Resident Evil 2, their costume change will affect the character status and the items which they can hold. Now, both weapons and costumes are an important factor in the game. Few hand guns and a shotgun are already prepared for weapons to be used, but specific models of the guns are still under plans. Leon, at start, only wears light clothing and has a shoulder holster with his gun. He can later on acquire a police uniform and bullet proof vest. As for Elza, she wears a bike-racer suit in the beginning, but she also will acquire bullet proof vest and gun belt. The characters from the prequel are reported to be in a nearby hospital, but there is a possible chance that they may reappear in the story. Elza reaches the police department as she managed to evade the zombies on the streets. But what she saw was the entrance gate about to be crushed down as the policeman zombies are squeezing in. Leon is inside the office as he waits for rescue teams. As his comrades become zombies with time passing by, increasing the danger of his life, he decides to find a route to escape. To serve and protect, these police officers now have turned into zombies, and both Leon and Elza are now their bait... · : · : : __ : _____:_ /\_\ : / /\ \/_/ [ aRT^BoMB ISSUE:oNE // \ __ / a mO'SOUL pROdUCt ] /_/\ /______/ : / \_\/ \: \ :/ : _ ___\: : . . . . · ··· PLAYSTATION GAME-PREVIEW [ SOUL EDGE! ] ··· · s o u l e d g e _ ___ ___ _ ( shots available in archive : M'S-001B.LHA ) GAME DEVELOPER : Namco NUMBER OF PLAYERS: 2 SPLIT SCREEN OPTION: No SAVE GAME OPTION: Yes Grabbing your opponent by the scuff of the neck, throwing him into the dirt and slicing him in half with a razor-sharp blade should be double the fun, but so far on the PlayStation it hasn`t been! Criticom and Toshindens characters carried weapons, but the implementation of them into the gameplay of each title was poor and no match for the sheer excitement of the hand to hand combat offered in Tekken!! Now Namco (the makers of Tekken and Tekken 2) are set to put this right, with a conversion of the highly acclaimed arcade game SOUL EDGE. The setting is 16th century Japan, a country beset by civil wars. The myth of the Soul Edge, an invisible sword, lures eight fighting heroes together. Incorporating day to night transition, beautiful 3D backdrops and fighters that will exceed the standards that Namco set in Tekken2! Six of the eight characters use their weapons to defend themselves. During the game, when a player blocks with their weapon, an energy bar records the damage. When this bar reaches zero, the weapon is lost, leaving the character to continue the fight using hands and fists -- a bit of a disadvantage when you are faced with an opponent wielding an AXE THE SIZE OF RUSSIA ! Two of the characters do not have any weapons whatsoever, but are protected with leather-like skin and thus lose far less energy than would be expected The true 3D nature of this game will allow fighters to roll in and out of the screen, moves such as side-stepping the opponent will now be possible. This should take the fighting genre to a new level and push the PlayStation even further than before.. So basically, SOUL EDGE will be TEKKEN 2 with weapons and must therefore be at the top of every beat-em-up fans wish-list!! · : · : : __ : _____:_ /\_\ : / /\ \/_/ [ aRT^BoMB ISSUE:oNE // \ __ / a mO'SOUL pROdUCt ] /_/\ /______/ : / \_\/ \: \ :/ : _ ___\: : . . . . · ··· PLAYSTATION GAME-PREVIEW [ ALIEN VS PREDATOR! ] ··· · a l i e n v s p r e d a t o r GAME DEVELOPER : Fox Interactive NUMBER OF PLAYERS: 1 SPLIT SCREEN OPTION: No SAVE GAME OPTION: Yes The Story So Far...

Set in the future, genetically engineered BioMechs have rebelled against their human masters and gained control of the planet. Forced to live underground in the sewers, you take charge of a crack 3 man mercenary team. Armed to the teeth, you must defeat the BioMechs and return the planet to mankind. Following an impressive rendered intro, you are dropped into one of 5 city locations to begin your battle for freedom. Set over 36 levels, your 3 man team must perform a number of missions, each of varying difficulty. Your orders could be to liberate the captive humans, locate hidden switches or perhaps to destroy a chosen building. You are able to switch between team members at any time as all three are under your control. On each section you will be required to perform a number of tasks that will help your squad to move swiftly through the level. By switching off electric fences and lowering platforms, you will access new areas, where power-ups may be collected. If you pick up any golden money icons, they can be cashed in at the end of the mission in exchange for extra weapons, bombs, or armor, which can be shared among your squad. Using an isometric view point, similar to Project Overkill, allows you to marvel at the detailed graphics where just about everything on the screen can be blown up. Mirage, the developers, are looking to include a timed, 2 player link-up Deathmatch mode which can only add to the lastability of Bedlam. · : · : : __ : _____:_ /\_\ : / /\ \/_/ [ aRT^BoMB ISSUE:oNE // \ __ / a mO'SOUL pROdUCt ] /_/\ /______/ : / \_\/ \: \ :/ : _ ___\: : . . . . · ··· PLAYSTATION GAME-PREVIEW [ HEART OF DARKNESS! ] ··· · h e a r t o f d a r k n e s s GAME DEVELOPER : Virgin Interactive NUMBER OF PLAYERS: 1 SPLIT SCREEN OPTION: No SAVE GAME OPTION: Yes The Story So Far...

Playstation or N64? Let's get the bad news (for us PS owners, anyway) out of the way first. The N64 is technically superior to the PS. It can do things instantaneously that the PS would take precious seconds to accomplish, if it could accomplish the effect at all. However, the improvement over the PS is not as huge as the PS was over the Super Nintendo. Smoother edges here, less blocky textures there. Just little things that add overall polish to the graphics. The good news is that the N64 has (and for the next 5 months or so, at least, will have) precious few games. This is where the PS pulls ahead in the race. The PS has lots of games, in a good variety of styles. This relates to Sony's policy on which games it allows to be released. Some developers (notably Capcom) have complained that Sony has told them that it wants nothing but 3D games for its system, which is a bad decision on Sony's part. But for Nintendo developers, it is much worse. Nintendo rules with an iron fist over it's licensed developers. Remember how Nintendo cut out the blood from Mortal Kombat for the SNES? Their policies are not that much different today. To paraphrase Next- Generation, Nintendo wants to be the Disney of the video game industry, and it's games will reflect that desire. Don't expect to see any adult themes or graphic violence in a Nintendo 64 game unless it's a big-name arcade translation (Nintendo may be conservative, but they learned their lesson with Mortal Kombat). Resident Evil type games are almost surely out of the question. And I wouldn't be surprised if Doom 64 has a few of the more blatant Satanic symbols removed, like the pentagrams and goat's heads. And, since cartridges and probably 64DD disks are so expensive to produce (about 20$ each vs. about 1$ for CDs), most developers don't want to bother with games that they aren't sure will sell well, because they won't make their money back on the manufacturing and development costs. This means sequels and remakes, which is already a problem with most systems, but will be worse with the N64 since developers have more to lose on a game that flops. What it comes down to is that the Playstation is not out of the game by a longshot - expect it to last as long as the N64 does in the marketplace, and to have a greater number of original and deep games than the Nintendo, if not for performance reasons than for reasons more political and economic in nature. Great games will be available for the N64 as well, though. My advice for people with system envy: buy both. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Used Nintendo 64s Available in Japan as Sales Drop JAPAN, AUGUST 26, 1996 -- According to reports published over the weekend in Japanese newspapers, Nintendo 64s are selling very sluggishly, and used systems are already available in stores. The used systems, which have been bought back from disenchanted owners, are cutting into sales of new machines. The much-ballyhooed new 64-bit system made its Japanese debut June 23 and immediately sold out its initial supply, but sales have dragged in the last few weeks. Analysts credit the slow sales to the lack of software. Analysts are also expecting Nintendo's pretax profits for the year to fall by almost 1/3 to 80 billion yen. Nintendo stock fell dramatically on Friday to 6500 yen. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- SONY VS. SEGA SALES VS. N64: We have been reporting to you, how sales of the PS have been trouncing the Saturn since their May price cuts to $199. The PS had at a time been outselling the Saturn at a 6-1 clip. It is now only about 3-1, PS over Saturn. Sales of both have doubled over the period since May. That all said, D-day, September 30th will bring the real showdown. Although SONY and SEGA will look for a pre D-day strike by releasing some heavily promoted games prior to the N64 release. This could prove to be only a boost for them, but not an immediate hurt for Nintendo. Literally all 500,000 N64's that are scheduled for release prior to Christmas have already been pre-ordered. With SEGA's release of the much bally-hooed NIGHTS on August 20th and the equally highly promoted CRASH BANDICOOT (see Preview section) for the SONY PS on September 9th, they will begin their assaults. It will be very interesting to see what will happen once the buying public find no N64's for sale come October, November and December. Will they wait a little longer or will they just say, "forget the N64 and give me a PS or a Saturn". I also wonder whether or not Sony and or Sega will decide to lower their prices again. A $149 price point against the $249 of the N64 could spark sales even higher. Nintendo fully expects to easily sell out their 500,000 units within the first weeks of release and another 500,000 from January thru March 30. Beginning on the launch date Blockbuster Video will be offering the N64 for rental. At $16.95 for 3 nights with, we believe, 2 games, Nintendo has predicted they will not only sell 1 million N64's in the US by March 30, but will also have rented 1 million units by then. There will also be a contest with 35,000 prizes running at Blockbuster in conjunction with the rental promotion. Blockbuster will certainly not be alone in renting the N64. We will wait and see, Literally drooling at the thought of a real price war in the industry. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Namco of Japan has announced 4 new games for the PlayStation: 1.A new Ridge Racer game 2.Ace Combat 2 3.Time Crisis 4.Gun Bullet Also, Namco stated that a "Fighting Stick" will be released with Soul Edge. Special designed gun controller will be released with Time Crisis and Gun Bullet too. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- FMV Skipping Fix Here's the info on turning the laser power up......... You need to remove the five screws which hold the top cover of the PSX to the bottom. Now turn the PlayStation the correct way round and remove the cover (ensure that no CDs remain in the drive). Right locate the CD-ROM assemble (the black triangular section which holds the laser), this has a ribbon connector and a four cable connection (if memory serves me right). At the top of the ribbon cable you should see a small screw pot... turn this (just a little) clockwise and test. You can test with the cover off by placing a CD in the drive turning the machine on and hold down the lid switch with the screwdriver or something, but be careful, the powersupply will be on. The PSX should only require a small adjustment to the power pot, but you may have to experiment. I hope this information helps, but I do not take any responsibility for any problems you may have. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Megaman 8 is dedicated to the 32-bits machines. It looks like the old 16-bits versions, but the sprites are now much bigger and a lot more colorful. Megaman can now upgrade himself by trading items between stages. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Final Fantasy VII Square realized that it was impossible to get so much data and realtime graphics on Nintendo 64's 64Mbit cartidges. Therefore they decided to leave Nintendo and instead, FFVII will be a PlayStation game. With the use of PlayStation CDs, Square did not have to worry about data overflow, and the same time keep production costs low. Square has revealed that FFVII will use 2 CDs, and you can't really squeeze over 1 gigabyte of information into a cartidge. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Street Fighter 3 info In an interview in the September issue of British magazine "Computer and Videogames" Capcom officials will reveal some very interesting things about the company's future plans for Saturn and Playstation as well as the long awaited Street Fighter 3. It seems as if Marvel Super Heroes has been cancelled for Playstation which is further proof that Capcom regards Sony's machine as primarily a platform for 3D games. On the other hand, Resident Evil 2 and Star Gladiators will be Playstation exclusives. The most juicy information in the interview however are those regarding Street Fighter 3. Capcom has taken it's time, but it seems as if it just might be worth the wait. While still 2D (thank god!) it'll be running on an entirely new hardware engine. All the earlier SF2 and SFA games have been based on the same engine which, while still powerful, is getting on a bit now. At least four times the animation frames is promised. Rumors that Nintendo has snapped up the exclusive rights for a home version now seems to be wrong since Capcom states that there simply is no current machine available that can handle a conversion. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 MILLION PLAYSTATION GAME CONSOLES SOLD! Since the launch of the PlayStation game console in the United States, Sony Computer Entertainment America has sold 2 million PlayStations. Global sales have reached around 7.2 million PlayStation game consoles. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADD ON DISCS Sony are due to release a new Data Disc which will enable extra levels to be added onto an old game. Looking similar to a memory card, the disc will contain only the data needed to create characters and environments, and not the information to display graphics. The idea is that the disc will be inserted into the memory card slot before the machine is turned on. Once the game is loaded, it will recognize the information on the data disc and will load in the additional levels to the existing game. This is great news for old Joe public, as there are a lot of games out there just gathering dust on the shelves. This will avoid paying full price for extra levels and new tracks on what is basically the same game engine, thus avoiding the criticisms that was given to games such as Final Doom and PGA Tour '97. This idea has been available to PC users for some years now, but with Data Discs selling at a price of around 1/ 3 of the retail price of a new game, this will be a first for the console players market. With Worms and Actua Golf being lined up to experience the add on discs, it appears that in 1997, console gameplayers will at least feel they are no longer being shortchanged by the Industry. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHEAPER PLAYSTATION ? Last month, Sony announced the introduction of a new Playstation. To be launched in Japan for a trial period, the SCH-5500 new model console, is a simplified design of the PSX. The SCH-5000 uses a reduction in the number of internal parts, which in turn will increase productivity by a massive 1/ 3. This can only result in a reduction in costs for the new cheaper models, which in turn can be passed onto the customers. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHITE PLAYSTATION? So far we have had the Grey Playstation, then we hear of the Black Playstation, and now there is word of a White Playstation. The new machine will feature the ability to play MPEG CDs and will incorporates an extra security chip which will attempt to lock out pirate games. Watch this space for the Pink with Red Spots Playstation. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- GAMES NEWS At long last, Syndicate Wars is finally on its way. The eagerly awaited 3D shoot-em-up should be released in Europe during January '97. The long awaited arrival of Destruction Derby 2 has been put back to Feb '97, and the reason? Overcrowding of the market during the Festive Period. With the PSX lacking a Rally racing game, the announcement that the release of TWO Rally games during 1997 will be warmly welcomed. Total Drivin' is expected early '97 and RAC Rally Championship should be ready for the Autumn. Our American readers have been raving about Twisted Metal 2 over the last few weeks, set in surrounding such as Holland, Paris, and Moscow. This sequel will be released in Europe during February '97. Other Euro release dates include The Need for Speed 2 : Autumn '97, Ten Pin Alley : March '97, Allied General : May '97, and the latest Euro-date for Dark Forces is March '97. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- · : · : : __ : _____:_ /\_\ : / /\ \/_/ [ aRT^BoMB ISSUE:oNE // \ __ / a mO'SOUL pROdUCt ] /_/\ /______/ : / \_\/ \: \ :/ : _ ___\: : . . . . · ··· YO MAMA JOKES!! ··· · THIS IS THE FIRST PART OF OUR 'YO MAMA' JOKE-SERIE.
