dear readers...
be very welcome to the 1ST issue of this
new CRACKER magazine in the scene...
what the HELL,you might ask!?
again a BORING magazine to read? NOOOO!
in this mag' you won't find BORING and
UNINTERESTING news from silly lamers and
you won't find CHEATED charts! why?
we want an objective mag' for the REAL
scene freaks without lame things...
in this creation (we call it as MAG' ed)
there will be only crack-tests , cracker
news and CRACKER (i mean C R A C K E R)
adverts!...
what we mean is to publish only SERIOUS
cracking news and adverts...
we DO NOT need lame 'WANNA SWAP'adverts!
if you're a cracker or if you're a
member of a cracking group and wanna see
an advert in our mag' then DON'T DELAY,
SEND IT TODAY!
about the cracker news : we'll publish
only news about CRACKER groups or guys
and not lame A left B and joined C, coz
that's good for other magz but not for
ARE WE THE BEST?
and finally here's the REASON why we
decided to publish this on disc,too...
as you probably know we have a paper-mag
called "GRIDPOINT OBSERVER"...
this so called 'ARE WE THE BEST' thing
was planned to be released in every new
issue of GPO...
but since photo-copying is EXTREMELY
expensive we can't send GPO for every
contacts of CHROMANCE... clear,eh?
and also GPO is ALWAYS delayed, so how
should we keep AWTB HOT?
these were the main reasons for us to
release this mag'...
we really hope that YOU will ENJOY this
mag' and will HELP us...
as far as i remember i already mentioned
the rules for the NEWS and ADVERTS but
now i give you the following rules if
you wanna see your crack(s) in AWTB...
send us these infos: name of the game

NEWS 'n RUMOURS
- X-RAY and TRANSCOM coop is over due to

about it at all (together with the
other members. ed)

his last cracks for them and announced
PULSAR to be dead...

is not a very good cracker as he
failed to crack some 'harder' games!
- did you know that att/LEGEND had spent
his holiday here in budapest and this
trip was a nightmare for him? he was
afraid of travelling by underground
because he found it too fast. (scratch
of TRIANGLE had found it ridicolous,
he was here, aswell! ed.)
- raze of X-RAY had a trip to budapest,
too. together with some of our members
they had a booze-ful night. raze
painted x-ray and chromance logo's all
over the walls of the underground
stations. some of them can be seen
still.
- gazza of ROLE lives out of selling
cracked games he got from MR.WAX...
(ultima 6 is on sale for ats 1000! -
