Hi all,

The reason why there was no Yaroze games on this
month's disc is due to technical difficulties.
To put it simple...there were QA problems with both
games.  I don't know how many times I have to
tell members, but when they submit a disc please
take the time to view the TRC document on the 
members website.  It will delay and sometimes (like
now) cause no games to appear on OPM.

Next issue of OPM will have:
-Opera of Destruction
-Time Slip

The issue after that will be:
-TankX
-Decaying Orbit

The issue after that will be:
-IONStorm ??
-??

As you can see the Net Yaroze OPM will continue!
The list above is confirmed but can be changed
at any time.
