   Clean up your computer case's yellowing plastic with yet another magic   
   chemical formula, easier to obtain chemicals.  Man, this is more a doable   
   project than other similar cleaning ideas.  Although I personally haven't   
   tried this, the results of this YouTuber seem to be very promising.  The   
   picture the top of the case is the after-effect; the bottom is the before.

         QWAK 1.2 16K COMPO FINAL   
   *************************************   
      
   Released by: Oziphantom, Saul Cross   
      
   A very quirky and expertly executed platform style game, the FINAL 16K   
   Compo version fixed a number of issues.   
      
   * The graphics corruption post death   
      
   * The lives counter corruption over 9 lives   
      
   * The title screen menu is easier to use   
      
   * Entities no longer get "stuck" on each other   
      
   * Circlers handle the MSB and on that one level, it won't appear on the   
     other side, but it does overlap the side bar   
      
   * Spiders stop at the bottom of the screen   
      
   * Up and Down Entities no longer get stuck on the right side of the screen   
      
   * Entities don't do the L R L R L R flips when stuck inside a bubble   
     making their movements more predictable   
      
   * NTSC fixed as found by Didi/Laxity   
      
   * Intermission is now faster

              REGENERATOR 1.5   
   *************************************   
      
   Released by: Nostalgia   
      
   This is an interactive dissembler for Commodore 64 programmes, to dissemble   
   to a pc   
      
   NEW IN VERSION 1.5:   
      
   * Restructured the GUI so it fits on smaller screen. Also restructured   
     the context menu (right click). Added buttons for Label, Parameter   
     and Comment (Line and Side) creation.   
      
   * Added HI/LO and LO/HI LOOKUP tables. You need to select both   
     tables (they need to be one after another) and then click the button   
     to make this type of lookup table. You can also make tables that   
     reference pointers-1 if "stack" checkbox is checked, this is for   
     return values put on stack!   
      
   * Added LOAD OFFSET option and loading of .bin and .rom files   
     which are pure binary files (you can rename any binary file to .bin   
     or .rom and load it into Regenerator now). When it is loaded   
     its Address will be $0000 but with the Offset: option you can change   
     it to anything you want. Code Start and End will change accordingly...   
     you can still use them that way.   
      
   * Added labels.txt file which includes predefined labels for C64   
     Kernal routines. You can edit this file and change/add new labels as   
     you wish. A new option "Use Predefined file" is used to enable   
     or disable usage of these labels.   
      
   * "Add/Edit User Parameter Label" added to context menu (right mouse   
     click). This will add (or edit) the label of the Parameter of the   
     operand on the selected line. Very useful to quickly add variable   
     names!   
      
   * Improved keyboard handling a bit. If you use Regenerator with the   
     keybord it will not jump to the start of the assembly when you   
     generate a Data Block anymore. You can press U and P to add labels for   
     the address (or parameter) you are currently on.

            SHOTGUN FOR THE C64

   Subject: new 4-player game "SHOTGUN"   
      
   Hi Nigel,   
      
   I'd like to inform you about my new C64 game which is called "SHOTGUN" and   
   is a 4-player death match game.  You run around in an arena, collect   
   weapons that have only 3 bullets and try to kill as many of the other   
   players as you can.  Whoever reaches a certain amount of kills wins the   
   match.   
      
   The game supports the 4-Player Interface by Protovision.  I'd be very glad   
   if you would like to review/mention my game in your magazine :)   
      
   Here's the official website:  shotgun.drwuro.com   
      
   And here's the CSDb link: csdb.dk/release/?id=148076   
      
   Nice greetings from Germany   
      
   Christian
