   issue # 19 is even later than usual  
 because of the summer holidays. no one 
 sent their games to us at first.       
                                        
   the testing of games for this issue  
 was done by MR.AMMO, TRANZIIE, WINGO,  
 INCUBUS, ARCON, CA$H and JERRY         
                                        
   if your version can´t be found here  
 even if you have sent it to us, it     
 means that you sent a non working copy 
 or it will appear in #20.              
                                        
   your contributions, be it some short 
 info or a love letter, will greatly    
 appreciated. addresses in chapter 2.

   - the idea behind the guide, is      
     to give you information of all     
     the different versions released    
     of a game.

         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.

 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.

 game made by old GDG and the graphix   
 looks like it was made in 1986 or so.  
 music by winterberg also points at     
 that time. has this game been in a     
 moth bag till now?

   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!

   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  --------->

 a copy of it, i suggest that you let   
 VIPER/REBELS know this.

 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!

   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.

   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>

 -------------------------------------- 
                                        
   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.

                 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.

         howdy folks, this is

   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

   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.

   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.

   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.

   i have had many friends, both in the

 days ago somebody up there decided to  
 end the life of one of them.

   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.. .  .

   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.

       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!

   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.

 ...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

   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.

 -------------------------------------- 
                                        
   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? ->

   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.

       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?                 
 -------------------------------------- 
                                        
   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?
