_____________________________________
The following text has been typed and
approved by PROPAGANDA STAFF, but we
do not support the theories and conc-
ept about piracy slowly tranquilizing
the Commodore 64. Our idea is, that
today, the buyer's market and the
scene function on very different
grounds - unlike on other formats.

Keep that in mind while reading the
text.

With the C64 scene and it's software
companies slowly dying away due to the
non caring attitude of the pirates who
care about nothing but firstreleases,
we at ELECTRIC BOYS Entertainment Soft-
ware have formulated a plan to give the
pirates a more of a cause to crack games
other than for their state of eliteness.

d=b
_'o'____________________________________
/_\
We among all the other C64 supporting
companie are on the verge of discontin-
uing C64 releases due to the poor sales
and vast scale of piracy so as an incen-
tive for the pirates to buy the origin-
al of all the games they crack we are
offering prizes for the best cracked
versions of all our releases.

So not only we give you permission to
legally crack our games, but we will
reward you for doing it, how can you
possibly lose?

original game.

2. Only entries with the original in-
voice will be considered, no photo
copies or excuses of lost invoices
will be accpeted.

3. All cracks should be coded in some
way be each group to allow recracks
to be found easily, the codes and
the locations should be sent togeth-

essential rule, but we will not be
held responsible if a recrack wins
the competition.

says Tranziie

For those who is on the IRC, you might
have noticed a certain SCOPE. More
specific RUNE of HOAXERS.
Claiming that our Scope never were on
the net is a weak excuse.

Anyway, I'm going to nick myself as
SNACKY, MR.Z or why not SCORPIE?

None of them are seen on the Irc, so
I do as Rune, pretend I am someone I'm
NOT
NOT.
