THE TRIAD GAMERS GUIDE
--------------------------------------
games are added to the GUIDE as soon
as you send them to us. they may stay
in THE GUIDE for up to four issues
giving all a chance to appear.
we want ALL versions in THE GUIDE, but
there is no way we can hunt for them.
we need YOUR HELP to send them to us.
at least we test them, but mostly we
also try to play through them. thus we
do NOT accept only written reports.
versions are listed in order of their
length. this was decided after voting
open to all the readers.
THE TRIAD GAMERS GUIDE
--------------------------------------
here are some rules we use.
separate pic, dox or other files are
not counted as part of the crack.
when pics are left in the game, this
is noted for fair comparison.
a separate highscore file is noted as
an H in the number-of-files column.
the length is included in the blocks.
added fastloader and some sort of
file-chain routine is noted.
other extras are noted separately.
the symbols used mean .. . . .
--------------------------------------
F - number of files....
-H - highscore saver....
added to the game..
-P - picture in file....
-# - dox with the crack.
-I - iffl routine.......
-F - fastloader added...
A- - first release......
L - length in blocks...
h-file included....
C - number of cheats...
-P - passwords given....
* indicates > - something .........
:) a > - something nice ....
:(comment on > - something less nice
THE TRIAD GAMERS GUIDE
--------------------------------------
if you think that a crack or even a
group is better than the others, it is
your OWN business. send your votes to
one of the standard mags if you like.
if we find a version to be FAR better
we may FLASH it to make you note this.
the understanding of the game and the
play value when adding cheat mode,
smart actions like a good iffl routine
cleanout of crap-code and so on, could
make us add this rare FLASH.
however, THE GUIDE does NOT rank the
cracks presented.

indication that this is actually the
game released by mastertronics in 1987
the startup screen is slightly
different and music is added to the
game.
it has been spread as an original.

REACTIONS jerry
--------------------------------------
i have stated that i can NOT handle
any more game contacts. still i get
an occasional sending with a disk full
of games.
please try to understand that this
will only mean that THE GUIDE will get
more delayed.
i could of course choose NOT to test
the games i get, but that will only
cause someone to complain about games
missing in THE GUIDE and that we are
unfair and so on.
REACTIONS jerry
--------------------------------------
what i DO want more of are legal
wares like demos, music and picture
collections, tunes, logos and whatever
else is spread.
i most certainly want more magazines
than i get today. i am sure that some
sceners hate all those mags, but i
do NOT.
we don't know if all these groups
still are active. please send your
crax to us ig you are : LEGACY TRANCE

REACTIONS
--------------------------------------
mr mouse/xentax/u.e.a.n.
to TRIAD and the GAMERS GUIDE.
i'm just writing to point out that
you've made a little mistake in the
latest gamers guide.
triad wanted to join:
"against united europeans nazism"
the correct federation is:
"United Europeans Against Nazism"
but i'm really glad triad would like
to join the federation.
REACTIONS
--------------------------------------
as i'm not an active member of the
c64 scene any more (since i have other
things to attend to) i can't really
be working for my own federation!
but i'm always willing to write text
against racism, as i feel it must be
said, as this europe is really in
trouble, if we don't stop the ultra-
right movements and parties.
and that's the REAL problem:
the political parties, as they can
increase their power in parliament.
and that's really dangerous!
REACTIONS
--------------------------------------
hhhmmm, what more to say, just that i
back up any anti-campaign against
fascists and nazis(but i'm not so sure
violence against those motherfuckers
is the right thing to do.)
but hey, i'd like to bash up a nazi
anytime!!!!
the neo-nazis should actually all be
raped severely by some very big fat
foreigners!!
how would that be for a change?
REACTIONS
--------------------------------------
and those bastardly serbs should all
be beaten to death, for systematically
raping bosnic women.
no, really, i like peace most!!!!
so, just put them behind bars or
send them off to mars!
(and then you'll get big nazi-colonies
on mars, that won't help either)
well, i'll quit now, thanks for
crediting me on my "racism"-piece.
mr.mouse/xentax/u.e.a.n.
ps:take care
REACTIONS
--------------------------------------
MR.MOUSE! it is a pleasure to learn
that people note the TRIAD standpoint
on neo nazism and racism.
i can not agree on your comment that
the serbs are the ONLY war criminals.
evidence show that they all act as
animals at occasions.
however, i personally think that the
serbs have the full responcibility for
turning the division of yugoslavia
into a war. i also very much feel that
UN should treat BELGRAD the same way
the serbs treat ZARAJEVO. then maybe
it would end! JERRY

REACTIONS
--------------------------------------
neotec mid january
now for another topic i was thinking
of after having seen your fine GG 15.5
what i am talking about is these
UGLY INTROS (your expression!). in
chapter 8 of gg 15.5 you wrote that:
"some crackers started to use these
ugly intros just to cut down on the
length of their crax."
and then you wrote about that
"fairly short intro that also looks
good" the classic triad intro from
mr.z (8 blox).
REACTIONS
--------------------------------------
my little problem is that you TRIAD
always talk about others using short
intros just to have short crax.
but you always use an 8-blocks-intro
without music, it's classic but u have
to admit that it looks not VERY good.
triad is a great demo group, you could
do marvellous intros (gg 15.5 !!!),so
why don't you show those shitheads how
an intro could look ?
anyway please give me the reason for
TRIAD using always the same (short)
intro. isn't it for having short crax?
i am very interested in this topic.
REACTIONS
--------------------------------------
this is a very personal letter to
you, so please give me your true
opinion about that. thanks ahead.. .
--------------
the two previous pages were cut from
a private note from neotec, but i
expect that he doesn't mind me showing
it here. the text is complete from the
note and only changed in the format to
fit THE GUIDE.
i want to answer in public this way
since i got a similar reaction from
another person.
REACTIONS
--------------------------------------
first of all there are two factual
points that i have to set straight.
1. we do NOT use the old intro without
music all the time. checking up the
4 latest disks i found that for 33
games we had used the "old" intro
16 times and an intro WITH music
for 16 more games. in the 33rd case
i had used an old german intro that
doesn't include music, but still is
longer than an intro having music.
people only THINK that we always
use an old short traditional intro.
REACTIONS
--------------------------------------
2. it is NOT true that TRIAD is the
one talking about others using
short intros.
when we started THE GUIDE in early
1991 it didn't take more than a few
issues before people said that the
only reason that the TRIAD cracks
were short was because we used such
a short intro. maybe this was the
case at a few occasions, but mostly
we just did a better job.
every time we have brought up this
subject, we have done it ONLY in
self defense.
REACTIONS
--------------------------------------
when i talk about short and uggly
intros i mean an intro with two colors
which is no longer than 1-2 blocks. i
am sure that others think that a lot
more intros are ugly, but that is what
I mean.
when NEOTEC said that our MR.Z intro
doesn't look very good, i was truly
surpriced. i suppose i should not be,
but in this case i am totally blind.
i honestly DO think that the MR.Z
intro is extremely cool. i loved it
long before i even considered joining
TRIAD.
REACTIONS
--------------------------------------
the first time i got the chance to
use this intro it made me happy. not
only because i now was part of TRIAD,
but also because of the intro editor.
it must be one of the smartest tools
ever coded for the 64. most people
today don't know that the colors of
the logo originally was a way to rank
the game. black, gray, green, red,
blue and gold, with gold being tops.
when i stop listening to my feelings
i realize that a lot of you out there
must be tired of this old intro, but
i can assure you that I am not.
REACTIONS
--------------------------------------
NEOTEC points at the intro we use
for THE GUIDE and indeed this shows
what we can do.
from the very beginning of TRIAD in
1986, the crack intros had the logo
built by 40 x 6 chars. i have never
asked why and i don't know who decided
to keep it this way, but when i joined
TRIAD, this was a rule and we have
keept it.
remember that this was many years
before THE GUIDE and before people
bothered about the length of a crack.
when we still today follow that 40x6 >
REACTIONS
--------------------------------------
tradition, we do it just because it is
a tradition. it is like the star in a
ring on a MERCEDES or the four rings
on an AUDI or the lightning bolt on a
ring on a OPEL.
for years i have pointed out that
the 40x6 logo still allows a lot of
cool intros to be coded. my favourite
example so far is the DUTCH intro made
by SEAL and REAM when they were in
TRIAD. ALFATECH recently did a new one
that is nice.
another point is the length of an
intro. my very personal view is that >
REACTIONS
--------------------------------------
the intro should be no more than an
introduction to the game giving the
facts about it. i especially hate the
kind of intro that forces me to sit
and wait for a while. i want a crack
intro to be short and to the point!
another important point for me is
that a short crack occupies less disk
space. i am a collector, so this is
important for me.
my attitude most likely has rubbed
off onto the others, but there is no
rule in TRIAD that our crack intros
MUST be short and without music.
REACTIONS
--------------------------------------
i understand that in a pure cracking
group like ILLUSION, a coder/cracker
has no other way to use up his coding
energy than to make cool intros.
in TRIAD we have other ways to do it
so we will stick to our tradition.
i am sure that some people will hate
us for it, but i am fully honest when
i say that we love our tradition and i
love the old MR.Z intro and that THIS
is the reason we have used it all the
time, and NOT to win any contests in
having the shortest cracks.

JERRY on track 18
--------------------------------------
TRACK 18 jerry
--------------------------------------
while testing games for THE GUIDE, i
ran into boxing championship cracked
by ASSAILANT of HEARTBEAT.
there was a divider in directory i
suspected to be a file in the game. i
used the fast way to test and thus i
file copied the game to another disk
leaving out this divider.
then the game didn't work, but as a
pure reflex i filecopied that divider
to the disk and tried again and lo and
behold, it still didn't work!
TRACK 18 jerry
--------------------------------------
i loaded my trusty old DISK EDITOR
to have a look at the disk. there on
track 18, sector 0 was a batch of data
on the free area and two more sectors
(blocks) on track 18 were used.
as you know, that means that this
disk has to be backed up to work.
depending on the loader routine the
files may be possible to file copy
anyway, but you HAVE to back up the
disk first to copy the extra data on
track 18.
in the case of boxing champion it
did work to scratch all files and then
TRACK 18 jerry
--------------------------------------
to filecopy them back to the disk.
what is on track 18 is the drivepart
of the fast loader.
what this means is that this crack
can not be copied to a 1581 disk or
any other media than a 1541 drive or
a full clone. to keep a full back up
on some other media, the 1541 disk has
to be zipped first.
once again i will stick out my neck
and this time by stating that i regard
using track 18 like this to be LAME!
TRACK 18 jerry
--------------------------------------
okay, okay, there ARE cases where it
is reasonable to use track 18.
if you need only a very few sectors
to avoid a two-sided version it makes
sense from the spreading point. still
as a collector i prefere not to.
if it would cost an unreasonable
ammount of re-coding of a mega filed
game, then i realize that a cracker
will not be interested in doing it.
most people don't bother one second
about this, so i suppose that you
wonder why I am so worked up.
TRACK 18 jerry
--------------------------------------
there are several reasons, one is
that i am a serious collector. if one
day i want to preserv my colection on
a more secure media, i have to give
those lame track-18 cracks a special
treatment.
as a collcetor AND swopper i also
want to make sure that my copy works.
of course i could play every game to
the bitter end, but you know that is
not a realistic option. life is too
short. in my experience making file
copies is the best way to make sure
that a copy works, so i want to have
that option.
TRACK 18 jerry
--------------------------------------
i suppose that using track 18 for
code is a remnant from trackloading.
if the crack is built on files, there
can be NO reason what so ever to fuck
up things that way. it will only mean
trouble for the user and no advantage
for the cracker.
so crackers, if you REALLY want to
show us how clever you are, then show
this by NOT using track 18 for other
things than dir.
pleazzzze?

POOL SIMULATOR ´92
--------------------------------------
i got a "crack" of a game called:
POOL SIMULATOR 92.
i knew that game and a fast scan of
my files brought out a version of it
cracked in feb 1987 by YETI FACTORIES.
so i knew that the startup screen of
this new version was a coverup to hide
the fact that this was actually a game
released by MASTERTRONICS.
this startup screen says that the
game is coded by e3/rebels and the
scrolltext in the crack intro also ->
POOL SIMULATOR ´92
--------------------------------------
says that it is coded by e3/rebels.
all indications in the code that it
is a mastertronics game were removed.
as far as i can understand it, this E3
wants us to believe that he actually
did the code. else he would have said
at least somewhere that he only meant
to have a version with music added.
to do things like this is low in my
book. ultimately lame!
i put the old YETI version and the
REBEL 1992 version on my next spread
disk along with a note asking -->
POOL SIMULATOR ´92
--------------------------------------
people to have a look on their own.
there was no accusation made and the
word recrack was not used at all.
i also refrained from making a
comment in THE GUIDE #16. some members
in REBELS think that i have some sort
of campaign against them, so i didn't
want to take it any further. maybe
that was wrong since we work hard to
keep THE GUIDE objective.
i should have known that if someone
is lame enough to pull a stunt like
POOL SIM 92, he wouldn't recognize
that i gave him the chance to let -->
POOL SIMULATOR ´92
--------------------------------------
the subject slide off into oblivion.
instead E3 spreads a note to make
really sure that his beautiful recrack
doesn't pass by unnoticed.
what is the normal reaction from a
looser when he is cought with his
trousers down and his pale ass exposed
to the world?
to draw the attention from his own
actions he starts hitting in all
directions with wild accusations.
POOL SIMULATOR ´92
--------------------------------------
so does E3 too of course. the intro
to that note hints that TRIAD is
dictating what the scene should be
like and that we are destroying
friendship and brotherhood.
in the note itself i am told that
since i don't understand the principle
behind GCR code i should not comment
at all on code.
he also states that since the old
group REBELS is dead and the old TRIAD
is dead we should allow the new REBELS
to work in peace. he points out that
he has seen a demo where it says -->
POOL SIMULATOR ´92
--------------------------------------
NEW TRIAD instead of just TRIAD.
he shoots off a number of questions
like how many TURBO ASSEMBLERS have we
released, when are we going to release
another SEUCK game and when will MUSIC
ASSEMBLER 1.4 be released with another
version of our old intro.
i got a bit pissed when i got that
note. not about the text, i am used to
that. no, what pissed me off was that
he didn't send the note to me. instead
he forced my good friend NEOTEC to
send it and to be caught in between.
POOL SIMULATOR ´92
--------------------------------------
i decided to write to E3. i hoped to
find his address in NEWS PRESS. i did.
and i got myself a laugh! it turned
out that E3 is the same person as
good old TRISECT/TRIAD. what do you
give me for that? what a joke!
that sort of gave a new meaning to
the note and some of the comments in
it. after all, a guy who was kicked
out of TRIAD may have personal reasons
to critizise TRIAD.
let's examine those items --->
POOL SIMULATOR ´92
--------------------------------------
let us first examine the statement
from E3 that he really never meant to
appear as having coded the game.
if that is the case why did he make
sure to remove the mastertronics name
from the code while he left so much
crap code in there?
knowing E3 since his days in TRIAD,
no way i accept his explanation. it is
only a desperate attempt to save his
face as a REBELS member.
if he never meant to make it look
like he coded the game all on his -->
POOL SIMULATOR ´92
--------------------------------------
own, then how come he and the REBELS
spread it as an original for others
to crack? come on. get real!
without understanding it, E3 himself
shows you the proper way to credit a
piece of code when he mensions MUSIC
ASSEMBLER! take a look at $4a00 in
V1.3. that is TRIAD quality and class!
E3 states that i am not capable to
comment on code because i don't under-
stand gcr-code.
well, actually i DO understand gcr-
code and i DO understand the thought >
POOL SIMULATOR ´92
--------------------------------------
behind it, but i don't understand what
that has got to do with anything.
anyway, in 1541 USERS GUIDE there is
a fast explanation on pages 295-296.
and in INSIDE COMMODROE DOS on pages
114-117 there is a detailed explana-
tion to GCR-code and why. E3 could
surely learn a thing or to from it.
interesting enough the notefile by
E3 didn't work after the intro unless
it was started from monitor! to make
sure that i could read it, NEOTEC had
supplied the note itself separately.
now, WHO doesn't understand code??????
POOL SIMULATOR ´92
--------------------------------------
in the intro to the note, E3 says
that the scene is about friendship and
to unite people and it shouldn't be
run by dictatorship.
he doesn't mension TRIAD directly,
but he implies that we hurt the scene.
i think that is a sick comment, no
group, TRIAD, TALENT, DOMINATORS or
any other group has power enough to
dictate the action of the scene or any
other group. the only possible reason
for making such a comment is to try to
make people feel sorry for little
REBELS terrorized by big TRIAD.
POOL SIMULATOR ´92
--------------------------------------
i wonder how many times it has to be
said?
TRIAD has nothing against REBELS and
we don't care one bit if they use that
name. there has been at least two
groups before, who used the name
REBELS so why not a third one?
in the beginning BISMARCK/TRIAD did
object to the NEW REBELS and i allowed
myself to get stired up by this at one
occasion. i am sorry for that now, but
i didn't serously mean it. that is a
bad excuse, i know. anyway, NO ONE in
TRIAD is against REBELS. no one!
POOL SIMULATOR ´92
--------------------------------------
i am fucking tired of hearing that
the present TRIAD is not the real
TRIAD. this is only another lame try
to make us look bad.
TRIAD was formed on july 28th 1986.
since that day, TRIAD has been active
continously releasing wares. ever
since the start there have been active
members in TRIAD so how can we have
been dead?
IXION spread his last TRIAD disk in
august 1988. i joined in october 1988
and took over the post as managing
director.
POOL SIMULATOR ´92
--------------------------------------
the members when i joined were:
801dc, twilight, titan, acu, pumpa,
skyie, devil & porta. does that sound
like TRIAD was dead?
i, jerry, wanted us to change name
into NEW TRIAD, but the old members
didn't want that. SERGEANT PEPPER used
NEW TRIAD in a few small demos.
E3 wants to know when we are going
to release another seuck game. he is
sarcastic of course. THE SARGE/TRIAD
made 5 seuck games. 4 were released
before i joined. the 5th was completed
by 801dc affter i had joined.
POOL SIMULATOR ´92
--------------------------------------
i have never liked seuck games much,
but as those games go, the 5 made by
THE SARGE and TRIAD are some of the
very best ever done. at least
regarding the graphix.
E3 wants to know when TRIAD will
release another version of TURBO ASS.
i am not aware that we have released
even one version.
it is of course possible that one of
our coders has made a personal version
that has found it's way outside TRIAD,
but i don't think that is something
unique for TRIAD. what about it?
POOL SIMULATOR ´92
--------------------------------------
E3 wants to know when we will
release MUSIC ASSEMBLER 1.4 with a new
version of our old intro.
well, GREG/FACES had a suggestion
for yet another improvement, but there
are other more important things to do,
so i can't give an answer.
as for yet another version of our
old intro. we can make you happy and
you don't even have to inhale. there
will be more of those intros comming,
that is a firm promise.
concluding ------->
POOL SIMULATOR ´92
--------------------------------------
some people wonder why i bother to
comment when a guy like E3 makes a
recrack of an old game.
the reason is that he really treats
us as if we are too fucking stupid to
notice. it also upsets me when people
assume credit for something they have
no part in.
maybe it is even worse when they are
cought in the act and they try to talk
their way out of it instead of taking
the heat.

triad!
- it turned out that METRO never
actually joined TRIAD. his heart was
in his own BREEZE DESIGN all along.
good on ya, australia!
- long time members BISMARCK and AKTIE
have been transfered to the list of
inactive members.
- BISMARCK says that he has lost the
interest. period. AKTIE refere to an
increased workload at school and
also some new interests.

more triad!
- SCOOPE joined TRIAD to supply us
with all sorts of artwork.
he has a terrible crush for cindy
crawford, so expect lots of studies
of anatomy. :)
- ARCON joined TRIAD to increase our
swapping power and to make up for
the loss of AKTIE and BISMARCK.

a swede had moved to australia.
after some time he got fed up with his
AMIGA (who wouldn't?) and wanted to
pick up his old 64-interest.
there in a very early issue of THE
GUIDE, he found the addresses to a
bunch of us friendly :)triad folks and
he wrote for help to get in touch with
his old buddy KRONOS EX TRIAD!
naturally i helped him, but not only
that. a check on one of my maps showed
me that it seemed like he lived not
that far from one of my contacts -->

BRITISH CORNER
--------------------------------------
well, here is the news from the
U.K. scene for december and through
february. not a lot but some interest-
ing developments.
well, though TALENT are still alive,
they have cracked nothing since last
september. accessing the boards has
been the problem for them, as it has
been to all U.K. members of the group
during the past two months.
over here we are all suffering from
the age old problem of full price
BRITISH CORNER
--------------------------------------
releases being distributed elsewhere
in europe before they get into the
shops here. only the low price games
are available to us first, but even
these are slow to emerge.
the scene here is disappointing. no
new groups coming through, just
ENTROPY and MAYHEM digging in, but
they are doing very little on either
the illegal or legal scene.
on a different note, as most people
will now know, ILLUSION lost both
their U.S. boards, FORUM and TERMINAL
OBSESSION.
BRITISH CORNER
--------------------------------------
PUDWERX got himself a new job which
takes him away from home, so we lost
both our fixer and board. that is life
and who can blame him. so now ILLUSION
has been working hard to get sorted
again. with a bit of luck we should
be back on line in mid-january.
meanwhile, the guys in ARCADE split
up and four of them asked to join us.
this only lasted for 24 hours. then for
some reason still unknown to me, they
left again. so we did have a board for
24 hours. HOLIDAY INN CAMBODIA, but
now this has all gone as water under
the bridge. i suppose it will make
BRITISH CORNER
--------------------------------------
news in all the disk mags. but i still
await the full truth of this episode.
well not much more to say, only that
i heard from a good source that at
least budget games will be still
released throughout 1993. some small
comfort.
DERBY RAM
january
february
the single blow for the british
scene during february is the depart-
ture of the top U.K. cracking group >
BRITISH CORNER
--------------------------------------
GENETIX. both DMC and PUNISHER quit
the scene for the AMIGA.
these two guys were by far the best
crackers on the U.K. scene and will be
sadly missed.
HELLRAISER is back on the 64. he has
returned to his last group TRC.
TALENT still have released nothing
since they did 'SLICKS' back in
september of last year.
ENTROPY are still trying very hard
to get recognition both on the legal >
BRITISH CORNER
--------------------------------------
and the illegal scene, they are the
only group here with a disk mag.
the budget house CODEMASTERS are not
releasing any more single games.
in the future they will all be
compilations.
current U.K. members of ILLUSION are
NME, REBEL, RICHIE, DERBYSHIRE RAM.
REVHEAD ex. HOODLUMS joined ENTROPY.
MET ex PYROTECH, ORION, NFC. etc. is
now running the group MAYHEM as the
only member.

--------------------------------------
well that is about all for this
month. i hope march will be just as
productive as february, if not better.
DERBYSHIRE RAM
3rd.march 1993.
DUTCH CORNER
--------------------------------------
here i am after having been "asked"
to write some words about THE
NETHERLANDS or better known to most of
you as holland.
before i start talking about the
dutch scene, i will tell you why
holland is actually the netherlands
and why most people call it HOLLAND.
okay, the above may sound crappy,
but it is the way it is... it all
started back in the mediaevel when the
provinces north- and south-holland ->
DUTCH CORNER
--------------------------------------
were the most important provinces. as
in north-holland you have amsterdam,
which had a big harbour where a lot of
merchants and their ships and their
warehouses etc. so you can conclude
from this that it was a very rich
province.
south-holland also had a harbour
which you all know as the biggest
harbour in europe... these
these were the two richest provinces
where a lot of foreign merchants and
normal people came. and since then
they call the netherlands, holland.
DUTCH CORNER
--------------------------------------
if you ask me if i would offended
when you say that i live in holland,
i would say no!!! but i would tell you
that holland isn't the same as the
netherlands... compare it with the
united kingdom, great-britain and
england. anyway, i guess this all is a
bit confusing now... let me know if i
am wrong!!!
now something about the scene. to be
honest, i haven't been around that
long on the scene. but that doesn't
mean i can't tell something about it.
okay, i got my first 64 in early ->
DUTCH CORNER
--------------------------------------
1986. i wanted to have one as my uncle
had bought a c-128! at that time my
hobby was horse-back riding. i asked
my dad if i could get a commodore
computer. as it had much better gfx
than the spectravideo 328 mkii we had
at that moment. i had to give up my
i had to give up my horse (pony)
and then i could get a 64. so i did,
perhaps the most stupid move i have
ever made as i was rather good at it.
after having the 64 for about 6
months, i got in contact with a dude
at school. he had an msx at that time.
DUTCH CORNER
--------------------------------------
but a cousin of his also had a 64!
this is the way i got in contact with
the scene, but i didn't even bother to
enter the real scene as i only played
games etc. then after some years of
doing nothing, i had the courage to
contact some 20 dudes and after that
my scene-life started.
here in holland we have had a lot of
famous groups like artworx, m.o.n.,
tmc, bcc, hotline and some more i
cannot remember at the mo'.
at present we have some minor crack-
ing groups and one or two big ones.
DUTCH CORNER
--------------------------------------
success is the group of which i know
most as the only bbs here is the
success ehq! all my friends are also
calling there (all successers).
without being prejudiced i'd say scs
is the 'best' cracking group in the
netherlands and black mail should be
the best demo-group. (ever)
hmmm... i wish i would be a bit more
updated about the scene here, but the
fact is that i live in the north-east
of the netherlands and the majority of
the scene is situated it the south and
the west of the netherlands...
DUTCH CORNER
--------------------------------------
okay, this is all i can tell. sorry
for not being detailed but that is due
to the fact that i have a lot of
studying to do and it kills most of my
leisure time.
anyway, i hope you'll be satisfied,
as i have never written text like this.
okay, perhaps i'll see ya all later!
