Group Reports:

CLASS remained pretty consistent throughout the entire month, proving they are
not going to slack off after their  1997 performace.  They also  had the  best
rated game of the month, Croc: Legend of the Gobbos (c) FOX Interactive.  This
is still the group to beat, and should remain that way in all of 1998.

PARADIGM was also active throughout most of the month, except towards the end.
No real  games of note, and most of their releases were done  in Europe.  They
will need more then this to keep their #2 spot or move up to #1 next month.

RAZOR 1911 started the month off by releasing a few  very foolish releases and
were pretty much dead until their UK connection came through and saved them at
the  end of the month, literally.  If HYBRID was active, their chances of this
happening again are slim to none.

BACKLASH remained  consistent, but was not  heard from until the middle of the
month.  They had 1 release and a couple of patches to atleast give them a shot
at a respectful score at the end of the month.

GENOCIDE just popped up at the end of the month, and didn't do too badly for a
new group.  Have to wait and see what they can do in February.

HYBRID was HYBRID which means they are on vacation.  Might hear from them next 
month if the UK division of RAZOR starts talking too loud.

DIVINE just  went downhill from where they put themselves last month.  It will
be an uphill battle for them next month.
