Rules & Points (taken from the Console World Charts)
--------------------------------------------------

            All releases before 24.00 EST at the end of each month are counted.
-1 Point    DUPE: Released a game, but only after another group already beat
            you?  -1 point then.
            DUPE TRAINER: A Late Trainer with the same or less options.
            BROKEN: If you release a game/trainer/crack that doesn't work,
            -1 time!

+0 Points   BETA: Beta releases are cool to check out, but they are not
            the real deal. No points are given or taken for these.
            TERRITORY DUPE: If a game is released in Europe first and
            contains English, then a following USA release is considered
            a territory dupe. If a game is released in the USA first,
            and it releases later in Europe with no additional languages,
            it is also considered a territory dupe. Games that have
            additional game features/levels/etc. added are void from
            territory dupe rules. Only Roms that contain differences
            when file compared fit into the territory dupe category,
            if a Rom is the exact same in 2 territories, it fits into
            the -1 dupe category. Territory dupes receive 0 points.
            FIX: A non-protection related fix for a released game gets 0
            points.

+1 Point    TRAINER: Any selectable trainer including a menu receives
            1 point.
            MULTI: A European Multi Language release of a previously
            available US title.
            FOREIGN: A German/French/Spanish/Etc. release of a
            previously available English title.

+2 Points   AVERAGE JAPANESE: An average Japanese game. Most RPGS,
            Mahjong titles, Slot games, Sims, Adventures, etc. will be
            put into this category. These receive 2 points.
            FOREIGN WORLD FIRST: If a German/French/Spanish/Etc. game
            is out before the English version, it gets 2 points.
            CRACK: A crack for a protected/non-working game gets you 2
            points.

+3 Points   ENGLISH WORLD FIRST: The first release of a game in English.
            This is generally the first release of the game available,
            either in Europe or the USA. These receive 3 points.
            QUALITY JAPANESE: A quality Japanese title that is either
            highly awaited or playable will receive 3 points. Generally
            games from major companies due out for release later
            in English will fit into this category. Most action games,
            fighting games, etc. will also fall under this category.

Mr. X: *starts to sing to jpop theme* "Gogogogo with burning Caravan japcrap 
       super releasing love! Maye the pitchi wings of yen filled hero purses
       always guide you to hyper kawai releasing love!"

Mr. Z: Ahh Caravan has a strong month, cleaning up as usual most of the japcrap.
       Of course they released my personal game of the month, Kingdom Hearts,
       which totally rules. Much love to my friends in the Caravan!

Mr. Y: Lots of jappies, but the only one worthwhile is the Metal Slug Advanced
       which was already released anyways.  These guys were kickin some 
       jap crap butt on the PS2 scene, so they bring their talents to the GBA 
       world!  Too bad most folks don't care about these titles unless they're
       rom collecting kiddiez.

Mr. X: After 3947394384638 years Cezar returns with a worthless eurodupe! Damn
       you lazy brits, even my mommy can pick up more eurodupes if she wanted to
       :( So stop leeching 24/7 and do something. Otherwise, see you in 2014 with
       the next region dupe :|

Mr. Z: Amazing, the Cezar name brought up from the grave! Of course they only
       beat out supplex and trsi for this release. Never the less its nice to see
       some action from these boys after so long.

Mr. Y: OMG these guys are still around?  Why even bother... Not sure what else I 
       can say...

Mr. X: W00t Eurasia are back, ain't they? Or was it just some fserver who had
       mercy with them and decided to spread some www-repack under their name?
       Who knows, and more important who cares? :x I am just amazed that no siteop
       purged them, after they missed to pre their first release since 334934973
       years almost everywhere. It's a shame tho, to see a legendary group 
       dissapearing like that. Come on guys, cut the slack and get back on track.
       Pleeeeeeaaasse :~(

Mr. Z: Thanks for like uh preing this one guys. It's so great when no GBA sites
       have a release almost EIGHT HOURS after its "pre'd" (including your own
       affils)... Anyway its a very cool game, probably my runner up for fav of
       the month. Its tough as black cock, good thing it was trained so that
       a certain PC game fps ninja friend can play it!

Mr. Y: Somehow I think this was one of the rare times we will see a Eurasia title.
       It's neat to see them back, but I'm pretty sure these guys are pretty
       much retired and enjoying their leech slots!

Mr. X: CANT....STAND....UGLY....NFO...ART....ANYMORE!!!!. Please do us a favour 
       and die, all of you, oke? :(( Words cannot express the hate i feel whenever 
       i see another one of those crappy NES Classic releases x| Damn Nintendo for
       putting garbage like that on shelves, and damn the IND lamers to put them out.
       I hate joo!! I dunno what's worse, the fact that those lamers manage to 
       spread their shit around better then Eurasia, or that they
       somehow manage to even get majors. Final Fantasy, Zelda, Metal Slug .. 
       plz shoot me... gba-scene suxx more cock then gbatemp admins ;[

Mr. Z: When I see inds pickup like all of the domestic titles I wanted to buy this
       month... Well lucky my ceiling fan wasnt strong enough to support my noose.
       I pray that N-DS isnt so easy to dump, or atleast features more protected
       titles.... 

Mr. Y: Some really amazing releases from the INDEPENDANTS!  I have to admit I was
       a bit surprised when I saw Metal Slug Advanced (this game r0xxxX) and the
       USA version of Final Fantasy I&II.  Zelda was also a nice major one.  What
       has the GBA scene become?!?!

Mr. X: Yet another month for RS filled with shitloads of CRAP! Yes, you heard me
       C-R-A-P! Who wants to play, Texas Poker or french region-dupes :~(( Give me
       some decent stuff for a change, will ya? I guess not ... :[ Oh btw, please
       check your fserve sources better next time .. Dragonball was a dupe by 5hrs
       or so :{ 
       /ME PUTS HIS SUNGLASSES ON!

Mr. Z: Yikes, nothing much good this month. Although the trainer for Dragonball 
       was great. As far as I'm concerned, RS won Dragonball's game too, since
       the eurasia one never pre'd or spread for shit, even on eurasia sites...
       Oh well, whats another point to these guys when theyre already number one
       overall...

Mr. Y: Jeez RS seems to be doing the quantity of releases lately.  As my other
       commentators mentioned, this does not necessarily mean quality!  But I
       can't blame them for developing the shitty games.  It's the companies that
       flood the market with this stuff.  From my observations, RS got Europe
       dominated.  Good work.

Mr. Z: Sweet! Keep up the good work supplex. And by that I mean get drunk and
       pass out at a disk swapping party. Thank god supplex brought us the 
       first racable GBA release so long ago, so atleast i can swap something!

Mr. Y: The "legendary" Supplex (Can they even be considered that?!) needs to join
       the ranks of the IND crew.  I bet their supplier thought they scored a real
       nice major with this title.  HAHA guess not eh! What an embarassment to the
       scene.

Mr. X: Fuck the lamers & shoot the gamers (and all TRM members that come across 
       your way too!) Fserves sexiest return with another bunch of autonuked 
       releases. I actually had to !list in fserve chans to find those. But
       don't tell my daddy or he'll do "things" to me again :< TRM are just
       like very bad cancer. Once you got it you cannot get rid of it again,
       no matter what you do :[ Sad thing is, that with the DS games being
       so small again, the fserve lameness will continue for another few years.
       So remember, "Friends don't let friends leech TRM releases!"

Mr. Z: Maybe "Winners dont use Trashman" would work as a slogan too :P Great
       month for the kings of gbatemp. I thought they had died officially,
       yet I still see quality broken releases of dupes.

Mr. Y: I have no fuckin' clue what these titles even mean.  Too bad I didn't 
       create the point system, otherwise I'll give these guys will get an
       auto -1000 points just for being around.

Mr. X: rEfEr tO sUppLeX cOmMeNtS :(

Mr. Z: If seeing a supplex and a cezar release wasnt rare enough, the amiga
       and pc legends of tristar and redsector decide to drag their once 
       glorious name through the mud. Congrats guys... You are GeMAnYz #1!!!!

Mr. Y: Another embarassment to the scene, I am seeing a trend with all of these
       supposed legendary groups... They SUCK!  You're tarnishing the name of 
       your former selves.  Get the fuck out of the scene.

Mr. X: Good releases blahblahblah, like anyone cares. Atleast i don't. GBA suxx,
       EA Games suxx, GBA Ports suxx. Let's hope it's all over soon so we can
       enjoy choppy elite N64 ports on DS and PSX ports on PSP! Yay, i am so
       happy to play 39384638 year old games again ..not 8/ But anyway, 
       what's up with that new "nfo". Why even include one if you ain't gonna
       write anything there. Oh, i guess teh fbi will use included infos to bust
       the most famous group EVER! Fuck the rest, teh Venom is what they want :[
       I suggest you don't write anything but "please refer to dirname for further
       infos" just to make sure.  Oh, and be careful with that grouptag, you might
       get busted by using that :{ 


Mr. Z: Venom cleans up with almost all the english firsties, congrats! Nothing too
       great this month, but its the thought that counts. Not a fan of the new NFO,
       this is handheld-console scene guys... but hey what do I know.

Mr. Y: I consider Venom the only real USA store supplying group out there.  Some
       decent firsties, but they got owned by the IND's when it comes to the real
       majors that people want.  That's always been the case with this group though.

Mr. X: Rising Sun won it again, but we all know sUppLEx the #1 of hearts! So all groups
       please die and supply sUppLEx from now on. For the sake of a better scene and 
       raceable releases!!!

Mr. Z: Overall, a very fun month. We saw great comebacks from everyones favourite cezar
       and tristar, and an attempted comeback from supplex. I guess they were too drunk
       to like try playing the rom. The Christmas rush is always the best time of the
       year for all console sceners, although with the DS out, I'm not seeing any super
       titles for the GBA on the way. Ahh well, we've all got our DS in hand, eggnog in
       the other, and sushi in the belly. See you all on some N-DS nfo or scroller!

Mr. Y: I think this will probably be the last year of semi-decent GBA titles now that
       Nintendo's putting all of their efforts towards the NDS (I have one, and these
       guys really rushed out the system)  You can tell they're afraid of the almighty
       PSP, but I'll save that arguement for the PSP/NDS charts if they ever exist.  
       Congrats to RS for winning this month.
