Skyhigh 13 ch18 Spread The Word
From C64 Diskmag Wiki
spread da word yoho everybody. then it's time again for the successfull chapter 'spread da word'. as always jam- packed with public notes for and from the c64 scene!!!! the first 2 notes are from my good swizz pal avalanche. check it out ---------------------------------------- A T L A N T I S are searching for : "quality crackers" "talented coders" "experienced artists" send examples of your ability, a personal note/letter about yourself and tell us your plans for the future. send it all to: NOE avalanche/atl XXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXX ---------------------------------------- YOO GUYS OUT THERE! once in a while things get boring... ...and those moments are the ones where you have to change things! so do i! starting by 1st july 1994 i'm having a new address: avalanche/atl (n.o.t.e) XXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXX any post sent to my old address will be given to me for atlest 3 more months! as a matter of fact POWERENGINE is coming with me... but nowadays the new number is unknown due to a lazy telecom. as soon as its online again the number will be spread all over the globe... for any news, messages or whatever you may instead call: FORTRESS OF DOOM - XXXXXXXXXXXX 24 hours online - atlantis us-whq avalanche/atl ---------------------------------------- da next one is about the returning subject : cracking!! by rough of laser ---------------------------------------- **************************************** * this note is a public message to all * **************************************** welcome to this message about cracking games and stuff a lot of you people think that they are pretty good crackers. they get their 'originals' from their friends and put 1 or 2 trainers into the game and send it to to their pals. but your naive behavior destroys the scene, because your so-called 'originals are no originals. i hate it when someone gets a frozen original from someone and it is even 'game on' and he writes in his groups intro that he cracked that game! listen, you nerds! adding a simple trainer and running it through some cruncher is and never was the work of cracking. cracking is removing a copy protection. if there is no copy protection there is nothing to crack!! simple, eh?! there's a copy protection if you cannot copy the program with a simple copy prg or by hand else there is none! so don't tell me that you cracked the 'originals' you got from your swap partners! mostly these so-called 'originals' lack extras like loading pictures or include a lot of crap in the memory, so the versions get unnecessarily long and in- complete. according to a group called excess it even happened that some jerk simply froze group-released games and spread it as 'originals' to their swap partners! you shouldn't be surprised then when you are accused of being a re-cracker one day when you always put out those fucken fake cracks!!! - change what you cannot accept - my opinion is to follow the upcoming simple rules just put out cracks from real originals because... - the amount of versions of one single game will decrease. who needs twenty cracks from one magic disk shitgame when there is already a jewel version by some group (e.g.laser.,hehehehe!) - put out a version of a game if you can do a better one than those you already know. ain't that a challenge? so you won't waste your time on things which the scene doesn't need! - when you just put out cracks from real originals you'll learn to crack for real. there's a lot to discover in the world of copy protections, esp- ecially from past games. - the more people need real originals the more real originals will be sold -> the software companies earn more money with 64 software and will cont- inue to produce software for our small commie. - don't concentrate too much on the actual scene, have always an eye on the past of the 64 because his glory times are gone, but there is a lot of interesting software around which got released in the 80's. i hear you crying: 'but if we shouldn't use the fake originals from our swap comrades anymore what else should we release?' if your group really depends on this i gotta say that your group is not good enough to survive. why don't you spend your time on something productive on our old machine, coding games (the 64 is sold in eastern part of europe like hell), you can still earn some money with it. or code a demo or don't spend too much time on your computer. this was always a small hobby for me and i'm always surprised when certain people put all their life effort in gaining a good reputation in a computer scene. get real! a computer is not truly important!!! if you like to add something to this i kindly await your letter... rough of laser XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX also to trade 64 software (old and new) ---------------------------------------- now it's time for sosme messages from skyhigh : ---------------------------------------- skyhigh is still looking for exclusive tunes. as everybody should know by now, then it is my intention to use 3 new exclusive tunes for each issue. so i need the help of you composers out there. - but how can you help me! the only rules i have is : location : $1000 - $1fff init : $1000 play : $1003 single or double player! style doesn't really matter, just come on do your best and mail it to me : BIZ KID OF OXYRON noe.
