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...

HITMEN's version is only +2'ed as they

CHRYSAGON did his usually DOUBLE CHEATS!

COMMENTS: we need more versions of this 
one...  come on!                        
                                        
that's it for the cracks.               
send your versions to any of the editors
to help us to be objective! we'll try to
 keep the games for about 2 or 3 issues 
more.

- X-RAY and TRANSCOM coop is over due to
  some problems with GENESIS PROJECT... 
  also PARSON was kicked out of X-RAY   
  coz he cancelled the X-RAY member-    
  meeting, and chrysagon was not happy  
  about it at all (together with the    
  other members. ed)                    
                                        
- PULSAR's last cracker 'transfer' did  
  his last cracks for them and announced
  PULSAR to be dead...                  
  he went over to (L)amiga now!         
                                        
- the ignorance of X-RAY is still deny- 
  ing that he would be the ex-heatseeker
  of CREST. according to his scrolls.   
                                        
- HITMEN was proud to release their OWN 
  game 'XYTRIS' as a 1ST RELEASE...     
  how low can you go just to release    
  something first?                      
                                        
- painkiller/CHROMANCE broke his leg so 
  he has time to crack...               
                                        
- lot of RUMOURS says that psycho/CENSOR
  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! -  
  about $80!)
