and icons for gamebase64 v2.0. For more information
or if you would like to help, please email James.

The
first yield of the Forever Lost?
section, it was rescued from an uncertain future thanks
to Matthew Allen, a.k.a. Mayhem UK, who
wrestled it from e-bay, then donated it to Commodoredom
through the Gamebase64 project!

Hit
the pic on the left to go read about our latest GOTW,
taken directly from the pages of ZZAP!64. Then
download the image from the same page and see if you
agree with the reviewers!
Since
ZZAP! reviews are now part of this site, a page on the
ZZAP! rating system & reviewing policy was deemed
necessary. You can access it from our Game
of the Week index page!

Continuing
with the ZZAP!64 reviews, the newest addition
gracing our GOTW section is Activision's
Pastfinder. Since
I (Dimitris) got started on this (and not being the
type who leaves things in the middle), I suppose I have
to continue review-by-review until I reach issue 106!!!
The
question is, do you want this to go on? Your opinion
on the subject is welcome in our forum...

The
US version of Cabal has been added to the
Corner, in a vain attempt to balance the rpgs/adventures
that swarm the place. Also,
the English version of Lapis Philosophorum (reported
broken in our forum), was fixed in-house by The Borg.

The
unchecked games really dwindled their numbers lately!
Soon they will be over and we'll enter the final stage
of the Gamebase Collection Project...
