29 March 2008:
The Lionrock World tournament 2008 is under way!! As not many matches have not been played yet, you're probably still in time to register to it, if you wish to.
The rules - they are the same as last year: everyone plays everyone three times in the first group round. Lionrock himself will take care of updating the scoresheet and the standings.
In the final phase, play-offs go as follows: winner of 1-8 takes on winner 4-5 and winner 2-7 takes on 3-6. The team advancing to the next round will be that who first wins two matches. So more than 3 matches might actually be required, if some matches end up in draw.
For any further inquiry, please contact Lionrock, who wishes everyone plenty of success in the tournament.
Scoring - all matches played in Lionrock Tournament must be entered as FRIENDLY or CUP (they should affect the ranking in the same way a regular friendly match does)
A proposal has been advanced, that people *not* participating AND with more than 1000 points are deducted (20% (their points-1000)). The deduction will take place between the group phase and the final phase, so as to give all participants the possibility of expressing if they're favourable or against it.
If the proposal is accepted, winner of cup gains 1/2 of the points that have been deducted from the non-participants. Those obtaining 2nd and 3rd place will instead get 1/4 of those points.
PS: By clicking on the poster (courtesy of cdomplus), you may be able to see its animated version.

18 January 2008:
Following the winter holidays, www.ehis64.net is back, with some new/updated pages (trophy room, community) and a brand new active user page, that features the option to challenge those players who happen to be online.
Now those with no MSN installed on their PC will hopefully be able to more easily toss challenges: all they need to do is click, in the active user page, on those users bearing a online/free icon. While this will turn into a busy icon, the system will inform the other player of the challenge. Both players should then go into the chat room and there arrange a match.
Last but not least, ehis64.net wishes to all players and website visitors a happy new year, with plenty of goals ;-)

The latest issue of the Italian retro gaming magazine Retro Gamer has a page-and-a-half feature on EHIS64.net! If you live in Italy, make sure to pick up a copy!

You can also see a scan of the article on our website by going to our magazine section, and scrolling to the bottom of the page for a link.

All props go to Pablo for making this happen!

17 August 2006:
We fixed and improved the Online League and it is finally back! We expect it to be now more friendly to newcomers, more secure and more oriented towards making friends.

If you are not a Board member (ie. Andy, Pablo, Selcuk, Vid or Vili), you will see your member status is just "Activated". Please fill in the user questionnaire, then ask the Board for your approval as "Freshman", and read this page for details on how to further upgrade and enable the World Rankings for you (we may make some exceptions for those who have played in the league before). Right now the only ones with competitor status are the aforementioned Board members, but the ET ranking will remain empty until we play some matches because it has been reset.

If you find bugs, please report them to Andy.

You can navigate around the site by using the menu bar under the title banner. Here is a brief overview of the different pages.
