   welcome to the very first issue of   
                                        
        \THE TRIAD GAMERS GUIDE /       
                                        
 triad brings you this guide to recent  
 games. we want to inform you of all    
 the different versions brought out     
 by all the groups on the cracker scene 
                                        
 the idea was originated by injun inc   
 in december last year, pretzel logic   
 made us an editor and 801dc & dynamic  
 made an intro for it. still it took    
 untill now to release this first issue 
 and similar magazines are expected.

 the main reason for this guide is to   
 show you which groups have cracked a   
 certain game and the quality of that   
 version.                               
                                        
 this will help the game freekz to call 
 for the best version. all groups will  
 also get a better chance at showing    
 what they can do.                      
                                        
 naturally you haven't got the faintest 
 idea of which group really is the      
 number one. looking at the charts in   
 magazines doesn't help much. you know  
 that FICKO votes for PUTZ because      
 FICKO is such a buddy with FUCKO.      

            \ GAMERS GUIDE /            
 a lot of voters also just look at the  
 current charts voting from that.       
 others vote for their favourite        
 groups and they don't care the least   
 for what the groups realy do. how else 
 can it be explained that groups top    
 lists even though they have not done   
 a thing for many months?               
                                        
 many groups get their votes because    
 they are first out with a new crack.   
 being first does show that you have a  
 good supplier, but it might still be a 
 bad crack. is this fair?               
                                        
 some of us prefere to produce quality  
 and we vote for quality.               

            \ GAMERS GUIDE /            
                                        
 we review games and add them to the    
 GAMERS GUIDE as soon as possible. we   
 will keep them in THE GUIDE for two    
 or even three issues so we will get    
 as many versions as possible.          
                                        
 we can not quarantee that we will be   
 be able to test every level of every   
 game, but we will certainly try.       
                                        
 if you want to make sure that your     
 version is reviewed fast, send it to   
 one of our swappers fast. if you have  
 found that a version is bugged and     
 want to make sure it is in the GUIDE   
 give us a call.                        

            \ GAMERS GUIDE /            
                                        
 the games will appear in alphabetical  
 order. the versions will be listed in  
 order of their lenght starting with    
 the shortest. this does not mean that  
 we rank the shortest to necsessarily   
 be the best version. however, removing 
 crap from the code to get a shorter    
 crack usually indicate a better crack. 
                                        
 generally a high amount of cheats will 
 be ranked higher when comparing        
 versions. sometimes a high amount of   
 cheats can be right out silly or even  
 destroy a game and then we will tell   
 you if that is what we think.          
                                        

            \ GAMERS GUIDE /            
 years ago MR.Z decided to make an      
 intro that was compact enough to be    
 added to the compressed crack without  
 further crunching. this has become a   
 tradition in TRIAD. the normal TRIAD   
 crack intros add some 5-9 blocks to a  
 crack.                                 
                                        
 most other groups prefere a more       
 complex intro with music and effects.  
 when crunched along with the game, it  
 doesn't add that much to the final     
 crack as some like to claim.           
                                        
 please have this in mind if you think  
 that our intro is the only reason for  
 the short TRIAD cracks.

   time, you can make more cheats.      
   probe/tri & hero/ils used that time.
