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.

this is a text adventure that was
never distributed. it turned up on
some discarded disks from a software
company.
this had been a golden story ifn´it
had been a slight snag to it. the
fucking game is in finnish! aren´t we
all happy and dancing? dancing tango!

this is a text adventure in 3 parts.
the two first parts gives a password
to get into the following part. this
word is supplied. however, it is
probably a very good idea to do the
parts in consecutive order.
the two first parts were released
also under BEATNIK as two separate and
runable files.

this game was made by PARALYSE and
released directly to the scene by them
they urge you to spread it and copy
the game. there has never been any
sort of copy protection on it.
then how the hell can it be cracked
however generously you interpret the
concept of cracking?
if at least anyone of you had made
your own level editor, depriving them
of some cookies. shame on you!

the place for
your reactions on THE GUIDE.
our answers to them.
our reactions on happenings.
DARKMAN no recracker
respond faster, please!
call THE STUDIO
swastikas in triad
one file, please!
crap games or not
--------------------------------------
NO RECRACKING
--------------------------------------
we find it important to point out
recracking when we run across it.
it is equally important to back up
innocent people accused of recracking.
DARKMAN asked GAMERS GUIDE for help.
in issue # 7 of NEWS PRESS, DARKMAN
of EXCESS was accused of having
recracked POOL SIMULATOR´92 from the
REBEL version.
DARKMAN was of course offended and
hurt, because all he did was to use
the original sent to REBELS by E3.
NO RECRACKING
--------------------------------------
"aha!" you may say, "once again the
name of E3 appears where there is a
mess".
right you are. after all, it never
really was an original. read in
GG # 18!
however, if you read NEWS PRESS #10
you will find that REBELS refuses to
accept that E3 sent out this game as
an original. this is weird since i
sent VIPER a copy of the disk where he
could find all the information he
could possibly need to check it up.
the disk looked like this --------->
NO RECRACKING
--------------------------------------
-- !E3/REBELS -- -RBL-

NO RECRACKING
--------------------------------------
in the note are listed the following
guys as getting that disk.
jason / cosmic pirates
:( static / gothic design
:) incubus / antic
bizarre / trance
:) revenge / extacy
elegance / enigma
kickback / war deal lamers
STATIC doesn´t recall that disk, but
INCUBUS and REVENGE does remember it.
the other four have not been asked by
me. if you guys read this and remember
that disk or even better, still have >
NO RECRACKING
--------------------------------------
a copy of it, i suggest that you let
VIPER/REBELS know this.
but then again, i most certainly
think that it is up to VIPER to get
in touch with those guys to verify
what the rest of us know.
strange that he hasn´t done it
already. maybe he prefers not to learn
the truth?
and remember. TRIAD has no interest
in this. it is DARKMAN/EXCESS who was
called a re-cracker and should have an
appolgy from VIPER! JERRY

SNAIL-SPEED!
--------------------------------------
as the editor of THE GUIDE there is
one thing i react on and want to
complain about.
if you have a reaction or a comment
on something involving THE GUIDE i
wish that you sent it to me or your
TRIAD dealer directly and not a month
later or even more.
proof may have been lost or the
interest is gone by the time the
reaction comes to me if it takes too
long.
next>
REACTION ON A REACTION ON A REACTION
--------------------------------------
you could read in GAMERS GUIDE # 18
a reaction from DERBYSHIRE RAM on some
writings in the aussie mag VANDALISM
NEWS.
i stated that the editor of a mag is
responsible for the content. if no
comment is made to a text, the reader
must assume that the text follows the
policy of the mag.
following this line of reasoning i
have decided to summarize the explana-
tion givven to me by VENGANCE instead
of entering the whole text. ->
REACTION ON A REACTION ON A REACTION
--------------------------------------
the text in VANDALISM NEWS was the
end result of 4 nights of fighting and
mad phone calls involving VENGEANCE,
STIGS and some TSR-members including
UPTONOGOOD.
in this mess, somehow the name of
DERBYSHIRE RAM came up even though he
had nothing what so ever to do with
the internal australian problems.
today, no one understands what really
happened.
VENGEANCE offers his deepest and
sincerest apology to DERBYSHIRE RAM
for involving him in this affair.
next>
CALL IN YOUR REACTION
--------------------------------------
after GG # 18 was out, i heared that
DERBYSHIRE RAM tried to call me to
withdraw his item since things were
cleared with australia.
it was sheer bad luck that i was not
in when he called.
a very good method of leaving me
information for THE GUIDE is to call
THE STUDIO.
if you can´t afford to be a regular
caller at THE STUDIO that is fully ok
as long as you tell me about it. ->
CALL IN YOUR REACTION
--------------------------------------
THE STUDIO is a friendly BBS and one
point of running it is to make it easy
for people to get in touch with TRIAD
and THE GUIDE.
then of course i can´t expect every
user to call once a day. if you call
just once every other month, that is
allright too.
call, leave me a mess and get lost
and it woun´t cost you more than a
minute if you do it right.
THE STUDIO +XX-XXX-XXXXX SYSOP/JERRY

NO NAZI
--------------------------------------
someone used his eyes, but forgot to
connect his brain and that naturally
led him astray.
someone noticed that there is a
swastica in the logo that swings in
issues 15.5 - 18 of THE GUIDE.
there is also the anarchy symbol and
there are also two fuck-fingers
pointed at those two symbols.
how that can make anyone fear that
TRIAD is pro nazi is beyond me, but i
better be VERY clear about this. ->
NO NAZI
--------------------------------------
that logo was drawn by BISMARCK. he
was born in korea by korean parents
and very obviously is of another race
than the general swede.
he knows what it is to be different
and he definitely is no racist.
then why the hell did he draw that
logo the way he did? if you had known
BISMARCK or KING FISHER and that bunch
of no good mother fucking pains in my
ass you would have known that they
know nothing better than to tease me.
and they do that too. ->
NO NAZI
--------------------------------------
when i got the code for 15.5 from
KING FISHER, there was one version
without the swastika. he was not sure
i would accept to use the one with the
swastika.
i saw the intention of BISMARCK, so
there was no problem. i expected you
guys out there to also notice the
fuck-finger raised for the swastika.
just so you know. as members in
TRIAD we have had people from a bundle
of countries, cultures and races. no
way we could be racists or pro nazi.

FILE MANIA
--------------------------------------
howdy folks, this is
SPIROU/FAIRLIGHT
i´m writing this coz i´m so fucking
tired of all these cracks that reaches
me in a billion files!
the load picture come in a separate
file, the passwords come in a separate
file and it wouldn´t surprice me if
we one day get the crack-intro in a
separate file..... (well, that has
actually been suggested to me! /ed) ->
FILE MANIA
--------------------------------------
all this just to make the main-crack
short.
it´s of course good to shorten down
on the TOTAL file-length, but to cut
up the game in different files only
makes it longer... and a lot of files
might get lost on the way up´n´down
the boards and through swappers.
so, what i simply want to say is:
MAKE YOUR CRACKS IN AS FEW FILES AS
POSSIBLE!
->
FILE MANIA
--------------------------------------
if the game intro doesn´t have a
space routine to let the player get to
the game when he wants to, the cracker
of course has to add such a routine.
the player should not be forced to
wait through the game intro. (nor the
game tester! /ed)
of course there are situations when
the crack has to be in many files.
what i am talking about are the games
that basically are single file games
which are broken up into several files
/SPIROU!
comment!>
FILE MANIA
--------------------------------------
there has been a friendly debate
on this subject among me, SPIROU,
BACCHUS, INJUN INC and others.
there are many things to say as well
as many things to consider and they
don´t all point in one direction.
i have some personal views, but for
once i will keep them to myself for
the time beeing. instead i hope to get
some comments from you out there.

CRAP GAMES OR NOT *
--------------------------------------
in PROPAGANDA #10 i found an item
by NEWSCOPY that made me react.
i called NEWSCOPY who wellcomed my
reaction and allowed me to reprint his
lines here.
- - ------------------------------ - -
most invaluable group right now
:(EPIC :(
(CROSSFIRE and friends)
-->
CRAP GAMES OR NOT *
--------------------------------------
we don´t intend to rag or slag down
at a group, but disastrous attempts
the last few months has shown an
ability that we find awkward enough
for the purpose. (of naming a most
invaluable group /ed!)
EPIC have an ugly habit of putting
out wicked games of worst quality,
preferably 100 at the time, all PAL,
all unplayable. not because of the
crack itself, but because of the
quality of the product.
i find myself strolling in questions
wether EPIC is really a budgetgroup ->
CRAP GAMES OR NOT *
--------------------------------------
among fine groups like GULAS, BURP,
BAD TASTE, TROEP and others, but no.
i have no doubts what so ever that
EPIC could make it bigtime, but not on
these particular grounds.
EPIC must be as wellknown as the
myth about CROSSFIRE, the man behind a
million faces (but still a very nice
guy). for their best, and most of all
for OUR best, i hope for a quick
remedy of the group, their efforts and
their humptydumpty attempts to enter
the real world. NEWSCOPY/GP
- - - - - -->
CRAP GAMES OR NOT
--------------------------------------
that was the piece from PROPAGANDA.
i realize that PROPAGANDA is a mag
that is 100% dedicated for the sceners
who concentrate on hacking, phreaking
and the US board life. thus they live
by diffeerent values than i do.
if EPIC finds and releases games
the others don´t, then i think they do
a great job. even if most of them are
crappy games, they have a value to
some of us. especially us collectors.
i have never understood the thing ->
CRAP GAMES OR NOT
--------------------------------------
about budget lables. they are never
secret, so we know what groups are
"hiding" behind those budget labels.
then what is the point? i suggest
that it is inverted snobbism.
by using a budget label to release
budget games, the group implies that
they normally have such a high class
that they just have to use a budget
label for some games.
this further implies that those not
using a budget lable are groups of
lesser class. smart! -->
CRAP GAMES OR NOT
--------------------------------------
TRIAD has never shared such values.
we look at this from another angle.
the value of a crack is in how good
the job has been done. it is perfectly
simple to mess up a fullprice game and
then it is a fucking bad job. if you
make a good job of a budget game, then
it still is a good job. THAT is class.
if the game itself is good or bad
has no bearing on the crack job. okay,
it is generally more fun to make a
good crack out of an interesting game,
but that rather adds a gold star to a
good job on a bad game. -->
CRAP GAMES OR NOT
--------------------------------------
so personally i say: thanx EPIC!
this is not an important issue, but
it has it´s points.
i am sure that we soon have seen the
last fullprice games, measured by the
old standards. then all we will get to
"crack" are the budget games, and we
will have to do it with a smile or we
might as well do something else.

IN THE CORNER OF YOUR EYE
--------------------------------------
now i leave you,
the past had it´s say
you´re all but forgotten,
a mote in my heart
decisions have been made.
marillion/the web
i have had many friends, both in the
scene and in my private life. some
days ago somebody up there decided to
end the life of one of them.
>
IN THE CORNER OF YOUR EYE
--------------------------------------
one of my best friends on the scene,
CHARLIE/VARSITY, doesn´t live any more
he died in a car accident on may
28th while heading for the TCC party
in gothenburg, sweden. his girlfriend
ANDREA and MR.ALPHA of REBELS were
also in the car, but they survived.
still, days after having heared the
news, i have problems to realize what
happened. i feel strange knowing that
i will never meet him again, never
will read a letter from him again.
that he is no more, gone.. . .
DEAD! >
IN THE CORNER OF YOUR EYE
--------------------------------------
i was contacted by CHRISTIAN years
ago, at the very beginning of my
computer career. i remember that i was
really excited about it, because some
time before, i had seen his photo in
a paper mag and thought he looked cool
i´ve met him three times at parties.
the first time at the LIGHT+PHA party
in 1992 and he always created positive
feelings in me.
we would have met for the fourth
time at TCC´93.
instead CHARLEY/VARSITY is dead. >
IN THE CORNER OF YOUR EYE
--------------------------------------
i feel terrible about what has
happened, but that must be nothing
compared to the feelings of his
parents, relatives, ANDREA and
MR. ALPHA. if only there was something
i could do, but no one can bring back
the dead i guess.
CHARLEY reached the age of 20. such
a short life, such a brutal end.
CHRISTIAN, we will miss you.
INCUBUS/TRIAD
HOME CORNER
--------------------------------------
:)KILLSQUAD once wanted off the TRIAD
member list not to embarras us. now
he is back in action. sort of wonder
if he consider that TRIAD has sunk
to his level or if he has got a new
supply of energy.. . . . :)
- we have noted that in more than one
magazine some people designate
themselves as NNNNNNNN/ex TRIAD or
that they are described by others as
ex TRIAD.
+ no doubt that is a compliment, but
not always one we appreciate. in -->
HOME CORNER
--------------------------------------
one case this was a guy we kicked
out because we didn´t want him to be
connected with TRIAD.
- ALFATECH is soon lost for the 8-bit
world. the demo he and KING FISHER
are working on will be the last he
does on the 64. he is allready busy
on the 16-bit game machines with the
former heros of CENSOR DESIGN.
+ when ALFA told me he was leaving the
64 scene, he also told me that he
really would have been in CENSOR D
all the time if it hadn´t been for
KING FISHER instead talking him -->
HOME CORNER
--------------------------------------
into joining TRIAD.
+ this was total news to me and it had
me stunned for a mo. then i felt my
face cracking up from ear to ear.
:)maybe there is someone out there
after all, someone keeping count of
the points and evening out the
scores towards the afternoon.
- in a flash this released a knot
within me and i felt peace. a big
and warm thanx to ALFATECH, my good
buddy and our good buddy!
--->
HOME CORNER
--------------------------------------
- we hope you have noticed that the
tune in this issue was composed by
ALFATECH. it has been used in the
intro for THE GUIDE, but it is far
too long to be wasted on an intro.
here you will hear all of it.
- in the very last minute before
sending this to the cruncher, four
guys in TWILIGHT desided to join
TRIAD. the disk magazine ARISE is
their work and they will bring it
along to continue to produce it.
:)the new TRIAD members are:
DANE, JOHAN, TANGO and TWOFLOWER
HOME CORNER
--------------------------------------
:)we heared a rumour that LIGHT had an
informal meeting in the city of
arboga.
! you can imagine the level of infor-
mality if you learn that GOBLIN from
now on will be known as
THE TREE CLIMBER.
+ another demo is now planned in the
series SPIK I FOTEN/(a nail in your
foot). this, the third one will have
the subtitle -BRUTAL FIAT-!
- SPIROU, sysop of FUTURE ZONE left
LIGHT to seriously code a game. :)
HOME CORNER
--------------------------------------
- ENDURO/FAIRLIGHT is in the army and
like everyone else he has discovered
that swoping and army service don´t
mix well.
:)however, all is not evil in this
world. SURFER/ACTIVE is helping him
by taking care of some mail.
- someone said that BACCHUS/FAIRLIGHT
known columnist in swedish computer
press was about to get married. they
(BACCHUS & girl) even got telegrams
and other tokens of grief for a lost
brother. however, a marriage is not
emedeatly planned. -->
HOME CORNER
--------------------------------------
:)a date that IS set on the other hand
is the date when HARLEQUIN/FAIRLIGHT
will get married. may 1st 1994
- we hear that STATIC/GOTHIC DESIGN
has sold all his 64-gear to start
over on the AMIGA. we predict that
the sales fugures for champagne will
go up in the near future.
:(we are sitting on another piece of
news, but unfortunatly we are not at
liberty to share it with you. but
remember, you saw it here first!

on the a-side was the recent demo
from BUDS/CREST.
on the b-side were graveyard blues
and some single file TCC competition
entris. the header said RUNE/HOAXERS,
but i don´t swop with him and i don´t

my god!! /ed) the date for my live

already mentioned my trip to one of
my best friends in the scene. he
offered me to stay at his place for
some time. david: sure i will!! (oh,
my god! hold on to your cab, dave!/ed)
i have not seen much about the scene
on NEW ZEALAND, but some things have
come to my attention. i must say that
i liked some of them.
i guess it could be nice to get in
contact with some sceners down under,
so those NZ dudes that just adores
TRIAD, contact me! auklanders prefered

DOWN THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD
--------------------------------------
you know how you take some things
for granted? i did. someone asked me
on THE STUDIO what is so special about
the yellow brick road.
this comes from the story of the
WIZARD OF OZ. i took for granted that
everyone knew that story. there have
been films made on the story as well
as tv series and lots of theater
performances.
the short of it is, that the heros
of the story walk down the yellow
brick road leading to the land of oz.
DOWN THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD
--------------------------------------
the point of this is of course that
the australians or aussies call their
country for OZ for short.
taking this all the way, the yellow
brick road is supposed to lead the
thoughts to australia. that is the
whole of it.
and this leads us over to the report
from australia made for THE GUIDE by
scarecrow.
eehhrr.. . vengeance i mean!
-->
AUSSIE CORNER
--------------------------------------
yooo! back again for this issue of
THE GUIDE is VENGEANCE of SUCCESS.
well, when JERRY asked me to do this
chapter last time, i didn´t know that
he expected a regular item. i must say
it´s not only a great honour to do
this, but also a pleasure.
well firstly the news and stuff like
that.
with the occurance of yet another
aussie game company, BAD BYTES, things
are starting to look good for
AUSTRALIA. i have even been asked ->
AUSSIE CORNER
--------------------------------------
to write the demo column for a REAL
LIFE 64 magazine.
all i can say is AUSTRALIA will soon
i think personally, become one of the
bigger scene countrys and one of the
more dominating. (hrmpf! ed)
well anyway, some happenings since
last time...
- BODYCOUNT the australian sensation :)
died a cruel death this month with
most of the members going to REBELS.
those guys were: SHADE, JAZZCAT,
AUSSIE CORNER
--------------------------------------
GRIZE INSANE MATT´ 8-BALL & MORBID.
- WITTY and STROBE of LITHIUM also
joined REBELS as their main crews.
- MORBID/REBELS also joined WOW as he
was already in WOM for his music.
- EDWIN of BODYCOUNT quit the 64 and
sold up. that means that only
COLLECTOR and THE HEGG were left in
OZ. therefore the group was killed.
- MENDRAKE who was kicked from FLT
to stay in BODYCOUNT somehow has
gone and vanished into thin aiR. so>
AUSSIE CORNER
--------------------------------------
after ROY rejoined MAYHEM and really
didn´t look like doing anything
for BODYCOUNT ever again, nobody
was left in BODYCOUNT.
- ROADRUNNA/OFFENCE has not cracked a
game in about 12 months yet people
in oz continue to vote for him.
- another guy, QUETZAL/PARALAX has, as
it is reported STOPPED cracking for
a while in order to work on the
AMIGA more and code some.
- as for cracking, well the only games
from anyone in OZ lately have come
AUSSIE CORNER
--------------------------------------
from the now dead BODYCOUNT, REBELS
and LITHIUM.
- some new guys started to learn to
crack and they have been JAZZCAT of
REBELS, FADE of LTM and BLITZWIG of
LITHIUM also.
- VANDALISM NEWS became a REBELS mag
and if i have my way, it will be
done under a CO-OP with SUCCESS,
that is if NIGHTSHADE and the other
leaders of SUCCESS like the idea.
remember nothing is official.
--->
AUSSIE CORNER
--------------------------------------
ok thats basically a run down about
what has happened lately. let´s see
what games are currently being worked
on in OZ...
BOLO 2...FIRST BLOOD :
a 2 player tank shoot em´ up which
is designed around blowing up bases

and this is the story line for it...>
AUSSIE CORNER
--------------------------------------
...DOZER...
once upon a time in a land far, far
away, there was a bold knight called
DOZER.
DOZER was tricked by a jealous
servant of the king who told him that
he COULD have some jewelry from the
the king´s treasure chest. this was
all a set up and the king stormed in.
since DOZER and the king were good
MATES the king didn´t have him killed.
he just had him DENOUNCED to a jester
and stripped of his knighthood. ->
AUSSIE CORNER
--------------------------------------
many years later DOZER heard of the
news that the king´s treasure had been
stolen by some CRAZY ARAB from a
loonie institute who took off on a
BUDGET RENT-A-RUG.
the king was aproached by DOZER
and the king offered his beautiful
DAUGHTERS hand in marrige, if all the
treasure was returned along with the
CRAZY ARAB.
little to the arabs knowledge, the
chest had a hole in it and the KINGS
treasure was scattered all over the
country side, so DOZER got out his

OLD knights armour and took off in
search...
well, thats the story line. as you
can see, the game is a collect´m game
where you must avoid certain objects
to gain a jewel. it is a sort of
ADVENTURE game in a way, but more in
style of CREATURES 1-2.
this game definitely should NOT be
missed. it could be the game of this
year if it turns out the way it
should.

another game is planned by BAD BYTES
it´s a puzzle game and no information
had been given yet,but from what it
seems its nothing much.
MONSTERS UNDER THE BED-EXPLODING HEAD
from the makers of BOMB SQUAD comes
another game. i´m not sure what this
is about so i can´t say anything on
this game.
i hear also that METRO/ex-TRIAD and
now BREEZE is working on a game. only
good thoughts come into my mind on
this one.
AUSSIE CORNER
--------------------------------------
just a breif run-down on what games
are coming out soon. i think most of
them are due out in SEPTEMBER or there
after.

i opened the door, looked over in

hmm.. . . not! there was a
small note from DERBYSHIRE RAM telling
me that so little had happened on the
isles that he had nothing to write to
us about. pity!

testing games

cracks?
--------------------------------------
TESTING
--------------------------------------
the ground rule for games to appear
in THE GUIDE is that we get them on
disk.
--------------------------------------
this is one rule.
everyone can mail their cracks
to us, so this is a fair rule to
EVERYONE!
TESTING
--------------------------------------
groups who only upload their cracks
on a BBS somewhere have themselves to
blame. we have no time to scan the
boards around the globe. we need that
time for testing the games.
nor can we afford the phone costs to
be on the boards and even less can we
afford to DL games to test them.
if a group is so high and mighty
that they think they are entitled to
royal treatment, then what do they
need THE GUIDE for anyway?
my comment is simple: GET LOST! ->
TESTING
--------------------------------------
THE CONFESSION!
---------------
however, some games that have been
sent to us on disk, still have not
made it into THE GUIDE. this is all my
fault. i, JERRY, am to blame for this,
not your TRIAD contact.
testing the games can be a hell of a
workload. to make it easier for some
testers i allowed them to test only
part of the stuff they got. on paper
all groups would get their games
tested i thought. ->
TESTING
--------------------------------------
unfortunatly this was good in theory
but not in reality.
if for example ARCON was allowed to
skip testing the wares from SCOUTS,
then murphys law made sure that he was
the only one in TRIAD who got some of
the games they cracked.
naturally SCOUTS were annoyed and
with every right too. i am sorry for
this. we will make sure it will not
happen again or we may as well stop
making THE GUIDE.
then what? ->
TESTING
--------------------------------------
INCUBUS and CA$H will swop only and
will do no game testing. now you know!
JERRY will keep testing a very few
of his older contacts. that is all!
TRANZIIE, WINGO, ARCON, M and
MR.AMMO will test all the games they
receive.
-->
TESTING
--------------------------------------
do you want to help us do a better
job? become a TRIAD game tester. call
JERRY or write to him. we could need
at least two more guys.
TESTING
--------------------------------------
naturally someone wonders.
this discussion has nothing to do with
the cracks we were suppossed to have
left out of THE GUIDE on purpose.
finally 4 disks arrived from TSS with
a bundle of games that should have
been sent to us by someone, anyone.
did we get all the games in question?
who cares? enough is enough. TSS and
i are back in understanding.

crack?

CRACK?
--------------------------------------
obviously people need to be reminded
about what a crack really is. i will
be extremely basic about it, so there
will be no missunderstanding.
a company produces games to sell.
everyone involved in such a business
chain is there to make money, to earn
their daily bread.
to prevent the games to be spread in
other ways than over the counter, past
the cash register, the companies try
to make sure the games can´t be copied
by the public. ---->
CRACK?
--------------------------------------
eliminating the different obstacles
meant to stop the public from freely
making copies of programs, is called
cracking.
a program treated that way thus is
a CRACK!
then how in blazing hell can a
program be cracked if it is made and
released with the expressed purpose to
be freely spread?
the point of making a preeview is to
spread it to everyone in the hope ->
CRACK?
--------------------------------------
that people will like it and buy the
complete program.
when people make a program that is
public domain, freeware, shareware,
cookie ware or similar names, they
expressedly want them to be spread.
in some cases they do this in the
hope that it will bring payment in
form of money, cookies or whatever.
in none of these cases are the
programs protected in any way against
free copying and spreading. so how can
they be cracked?
CRACK?
--------------------------------------
in some few cases such a program may
have a lot to gain by the sort of
improvements usually done by a cracker
when he does a crack.
i don´t mind such improvements, but
i very much mind calling the result
for a crack.
there is no time limit in the game
QUARX. you may also skip to the next
level if you want to. how can a
cracker improve this game other than
by adding cheat modes that are not
needed or even wanted?
--->
CRACK?
--------------------------------------
this is why we will not list the
"crax" made on QUARX.
this is also why we don´t list
previews in THE GUIDE.
this is an opinion and it is public
domain. anyone can use it.
