EDITORS jerry and guests THE TRIAD GAMERS GUIDE -------------------------------------- games are added to the GUIDE as soon as we get them. our dream is to show you EVERY version of a game that is released. make sure we get yours! we can not play every level of every version of the games. however, we do all we can to get close to that! the games listed in THE GUIDE are NOT ranked. on popular demand they are listed in order of their length. if you want to vote on a group or a cracker, please do. the scene is drowned in vote sheets from all magz. 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...

SHIT UP THE WALL -------------------------------------- - TRACER, legendary basic guru says: "is there REALLY a scene since i left? don´t they know the king is dead, i am just too damn good!" our reaction - a BIG smile!! - and yet another lost soul is back: ACTIE did start up his compy again to do some hacking, calling out and to call his beloved model, hooray! - alltime hero, STATIC recently made a comeback. a federation against him is already formed. does this mean that he isn´t very much liked? LLUVE IS IN THE AIR! -------------------------------------- 1 the tuxedos had to be dug out from the closet.

STYX, SYCO and MENDRAKE joined up. after the release of 2 fake firstreleases done by MENDRAKE, the group was declared to be dead again. + LORD CRUCIFIER claimed he never left GENESIS PROJECT! + for now, SPLATTERHEAD, STYX and SYCO remain groupless, while MENDRAKE rejoined FAIRLIGHT! - JESUS/SCL left the scene and joined SUCCESS on pc. -> DUTCH CORNER -------------------------------------- - GOREFEST left his group TRC and dropped nearly all his contacts to focus more on the amiga scene. he kept about 15 to 20 contacts. he rebuilt the group PROXYON, which will release the mag FLASHBACK again current memberstatus is: gorefest, pearl and anhilator! - NIGHTSHADE left the army. his plans too sign up for half a year, couldnt be realized. a rumour says that he was caught using army envelopes for sendings. (hey guys, not bad thinking really! /ed) -> DUTCH CORNER -------------------------------------- - MAC2/AMNESIA joined SLASH DESIGN, but after just a few days, he decided to leave them again. - THE SILVER SURFER who recently left SUCCESS to join SCL, left the scene and went pc. well, this is all i have for you now. as i said, so very little has happened in the netherlands of late. i hope that some of it was new to you. CALYPSO follow that yellow brick road! LORD HOBART´S CORNER -------------------------------------- april in tasmania SHAZAM has been quite active on most fronts, releasing several cracks and their magazine VANDALISM NEWS. also they did put out two demos named ROGUE and SHAZAM. LITHIUM and RAVE, the coop have yet to release their diskmag named EPIC, but so far we have seen only a series of cracks and demos, hopefully more is coming up. LORD HOBART´S CORNER -------------------------------------- one of the nicest groups is BAD KARMA from new zealand. they released a music collection and yet to come is their discmag GRAPEVINE. (LION RED or DB EXPORT GOLD it is! /edxx) TRS is almost dead as UPTONOGOOD (also known to some as MILKO /edxx) is quite unactive. unknown to us whether THE LINK, the diskmag, is going to be released or not! most other oz groups are inactive as far as i know of this moment. LORD HOBART´S CORNER -------------------------------------- the australian game groups have the following releases planned: FIRST BLOOD:godflesh, bolo 2, mystery wrath of bambi, flimbos quest 2, international karate 3 and silly putty last three mentioned is licensed to me BAD BYTES:misfortune HASH DESIGNS:splat, happy harry hardon and the spaced invaders (say WHAT?/ed2 TBH:cronic the badger LORD HOBART´S CORNER -------------------------------------- there are several more games aswell, like a game i am selling for a free- lancer, six disksides long! and sooner or later, both SHOCK, the papermag is to be released aswell as my own mag DOMINATION, which is both a board and mailscene mag! and there he goes, to fetch one more of these OH SO YUMMY victoria bitter´s JAZZCAT/LEGEND ....and back again ON THE RAM PAGE -------------------------------------- derbyshire in february well, back again with the latest from the U.K. not a lot to report since my last effort in december. on the games front we are still having a very lean time with releases here, a lot promised, but not much on the shelves. AUDIGENIC released two versions of their full price game WORLD CRICKET. for the english market it was -> ON THE RAM PAGE -------------------------------------- called GRAHAM GOOCH´S CRICKET, and for the australian market it was called ALLAN BORDER´S CRICKET !!. both games are identical but for the main title screen. not a bad game if you like cricket, but expensive at 10.99 punds for tape and 15.99 pounds for the disk version. TREASURE ISLE, a graphic adventure and CITY BOMBER, are due out anytime now on a budget lable from LOGYK SOFTWARE look out for some stuff from JON WELLS also, BREAKTHROUGH is almost ready. ON THE RAM PAGE -------------------------------------- well on the illegal side, since i last wrote for THE GUIDE, MAYHEM has died and re-born in a matter of a couple of weeks. MET killed off MAYHEM to join XENTRIX,then left them because of their innactivity and re-formed his old group MAYHEM. also in the group now are BREN and TIGGER from the old U.K. group THE XEROX TEAM, + some more guys to be announced. TALENT have come through with a couple of releases, albeit cracked and supplied by the german section.. i saw an article in PIRATES paper -> ON THE RAM PAGE -------------------------------------- mag which included an interview with THE BREAKER of RSI. in the interview he stated that DCS was killed off by him. to anyone on the scene then, they will know that this was not true. DCS was continued long after this. MIC and JOG being the main crackers. i would i would go as far as to say that between 1989 and the total demise of the group, that these were years which produced the best ever DCS cracks. i am not getting aat BREAKER, but i do have a lot of their wares as a proof of this. ON THE RAM PAGE -------------------------------------- did you know that the dutch group ENTROPY has more U.K. members than any other group in EUROPE ?? it was stated in the mag. THE PULSE that i was almost busted for cracking games. this is not quite true, i was never near to being busted. it was just some idiot who called around the U.K. software houses to tell them this, hoping i would not get any new wares directly from them. i have my suspicions as to who the guy was, but no sound proof, only that he did not have an english accent. ON THE RAM PAGE -------------------------------------- it is no more illegal to copy a game in the U.K. than it is to copy a music CD onto a tape. the FEDERATION AGAINST SOFTWARE THEFT will bear this out. if you try to sell the copies, then that is a totally different matter. for all those who think i am warring with FREESTYLE formally of ILLUSION, well i have news for them. we settled our differences well over two months ago. he is happy in AVT and i am happy thinking now my personal problems are past. i can start to think about getting back onto the group scene again. ON THE RAM PAGE -------------------------------------- february 22nd no sign of any new releases as yet, though some are now promised. LOGYK still have some stuff fin the pipeline as do PSYTRONIK. you remember STEVE from the old group ZENITH. he has just set up his own software business.so far the wares have been "low budget´ but the future future looks pretty good for him. as you know, he has formed LASER along with IRONFIST and one or two more guys. currently they are -> ON THE RAM PAGE -------------------------------------- cracking and mega-training loads of previously frozen games way back from the mid-late 80´s. and they are making a good job in the bargain. no more news from the U.K. scene really, apart from the fact that i officially joined AVANTGARDE on february 14th. ------------------------- early march we now have march and still nothing to be seen on the UK software scene. ON THE RAM PAGE -------------------------------------- JOKER ex. UNITED ARTISTS recently joined the re-formed group SACRED. an interesting topic in #22 of GAMER´S GUIDE was the article on re-vamped old games. a good example of this was the recently released full priced game by AUDIOGENIC of both ALLAN BORDER´S and GRAHAM GOOCHE´S CRICKET. both are modified versions of the old mid-eighties original game done by the same programmer MIKE MCCLEAN. just take a look in the old version. only the old version was much cheaper. ON THE RAM PAGE -------------------------------------- on a similar topic, COPS & ROBBERS is a very old game dating back to the early 80´s. it was not public domain then just a big priced rip. i have recently been transferring the last of my TAPE-games to disk. it is amazing, some of these games i have not seen in over nine years, and i got held up for ages playing some of this stuff especially LADY TUT. recently both REBEL & NME quit the 64 scene, although REBEL remains in LEGEND. incidentally, POWERPLANT recently posted on the boards --> ON THE RAM PAGE -------------------------------------- that the group would be doing no more craking on the 64!! have i heard this somewhere before ??. ---------------------- march 28th well, march is comming to an end. no sign yet of LEMMINGS, but i hear it is close to being released. 3/4 budget games are due for release very shortly. the first releases here this year if you exclude the enhanced version of GREAME GOOCH´S CRICKET. ON THE RAM PAGE -------------------------------------- JOKER is groupless again since SACRED died. he can not believe what MENDRAKE did with those faked FIXED CRACKS. not much more to report on the scene except for the fact that STEVE/LASER has now set up the only UK board for the g4. call anytime to: STRAYLIGHT +44-403-267822 anyone is most wellcome says STEVE. DERBYSHIRE RAM/AVT X X --> X X SIMCITY -------------------------------------- allready on the third day DAS REICH hade reappeared. the people in the small village saw the glory. the fascist area on the other side of the river were running their little industries on full capacity and the greedy merchants were trading, they saw the destruction. FORWARD, FORWARD! general jonathan set fire to the once flourishing recidential area ULLERDUTT. no longer could the people take it. in utter horror they fled in all directions. -> SIMCITY -------------------------------------- THERE THEY ARE THOSE NAZI PIGGIES!

. reactions
-------------------------------------- - chapter 7 - -------------------------------------- the place for your reactions on THE GUIDE. our answers to them. our reactions on happenings. drowning in crax previews walking the boards wannabe legend cheatmode prefered made my day line noice -------------------------------------- REACTIONS -------------------------------------- it is fucking YOUR fault! -> REACTIONS -------------------------------------- in the studio time is 3.35 early sunday morning april 9th and THE GUIDE really should have been ready and shipped already. most likely i must work on it for another week. i have been trying to calm myself by playing some HELLOWEEN, CYNDI LAUPER, DIA PSALMA (the world´s coolest punk!) but nothing helps. i am still pissed. how can that be YOUR fault, you may ask. huh? then don´t, but i will explain it anyway! -> REACTIONS -------------------------------------- i have a number of old contacts i like and when they send games for me to test, that is allright. after all, i want games for my collection. those guys are my buddies and above all, they don´t send me only games. for the last several issues of THE GUIDE i have stated that i can NOT accept any more pure game swopping. then what do i get? people start sending me disks telling me that they only want the games tested and listed in THE GUIDE and i don´t have to return the disks. that is no swopping! REACTIONS -------------------------------------- true, if i don´t have to return the disks, it is hardly swopping, but that is not the point. the operative word here is: GAME. testing heaps of more games will cost me more time, time that i need to do a good job out of THE GUIDE. worst though is the psychological side to this. i am the role model for a helpfull guy, so i sigh and add the name to the list. however, soon there are 15 new names and instead of doing the testing, i feel trapped and push it off to the next day and the next... REACTIONS -------------------------------------- yet another aspect of this is the great mystery. how come that those spreaders feel that they absolutely have to send to ME even though it must be clear that i don´t want that? the mystery doesn´t loose anything on the fact that in #22 i even pointed out that some of our swoppers are looking for more contacts. why on this grean earth do they send to ME instead of sending to those TRIAD swoppers who want nothing else than to get those disks? -> REACTIONS -------------------------------------- there is of course some sort of explanation to this, so i will leave things at that. no need to insult those probably very nice guys. a totally different thing is if your games do not appear in THE GUIDE even if you have sent them to a TRIAD contact on a good disk with sufficient postage. then i want to hear from you so we can find out what´s gone wrong. another mystery is at hand. i have the biggest collection of demos there is and demos make my day. -> REACTIONS -------------------------------------- i keep telling this to people, but still i get less and less of legal wares. in a mag i saw a list of wares that had been released during a month. out of some 15 titles, i had only 2 or 3 of them. CA$H returned a bundle of my disks with legal wares. most of it was new stuff to me. this makes me wonder how much i have missed really. so please, legal contacts are very wellcome, but no more game contacts please, please, please! JERRY --> REACTIONS -------------------------------------- people have asked us why we don´t list previews in THE GUIDE. to be devastatingly blunt about it, we think that previews are LAME. there it is, now we have said it. previews are LAME! hate us all you can! a preview is an advertisment for a game. the softwarecompany want the customer to get interested enough to buy the real thing. they want you and everyone else to see it, so they WANT you to spread it. thus, a preview just can´t be regarded as a crack. -> REACTIONS -------------------------------------- lately however, some groups have released a series of previews that looks like they were never intended to be anything else than only previews. and why not? the first-release scene awards points also for "cracking" previews. if the members write their own previews, how can they loose. some sure points to gain, right? and it also shows what really great crackers they are, right? like our mega super duper cracker TRANZIIE, the doublecrosser (XXER). one of these day he will even learn -> REACTIONS -------------------------------------- to code a bit :) he got a preview called LATER. as he had done such a stupid thing as to lend his modem to a buddy, tranz had nothing better to do with his time than to have a look at LATER. he looked, cleaned it up and packed it into some 47 blox. and the AFL 70 version was some 96 blox long with heaps of garbage left in it. is that cracking? but AFL 70 will get their first release points! JERRY --> REACTIONS -------------------------------------- there was a good deal of commotion on the scandinavian boards the second week of march. WALKER/GENESIS called around and posted messages that were nothing else than declarations of war. everyone hated WALKER at the time. including yours truly, sysop of THE STUDIO. however, it didn´t take us long to suspect that maybe it wasn´t WALKER after all. then what the heck had happened? had someone come up with a new backdoor? --> REACTIONS -------------------------------------- nope! it was simpler than that. and simple is the right word. as a true modem looser, WALKER had used the same password in every fucking BBS. someone realized this and had a great time. and it was now that the commotion really started. find the culprit and hang him! no one cared for real proof as usuall. CROSSFIRE and buddies just knew that LEXI/FAIRLIGHT had been the one. nice, only LEXI can´t speak swedish as this GHOST POSTER obviously can. REACTIONS -------------------------------------- when this was established, CROSSFIRE and his posse had to find someone else to blame. they jumped at DR.ZZAP when DR.ZZAP started calling out, he called THE STUDIO as his first BBS to learn the trade. i was there for him when he fucked up. i was patient with him and i was his buddy. no way that he would repay me by posting a very hurting message on THE STUDIO. DR.ZZAP is not that sort. maybe he isn´t an expert on english and maybe he hasn´t got the grip --> REACTIONS -------------------------------------- on the jargon and the unwritten laws of the scene. this only means that it is easier to immitate his style to make people accuse him to be the GHOST POSTER. note that the proof that CROSSFIRE presents against MR.ZZAP are just as 100% water proof as thoose he had against LEXI/FAIRLIGHT first. no proof at all in other words. he is just picking on the neares guy who doesn´t really fit in. only the brown shirt is missing JERRY --> CHEATMODE INSTALLED! -------------------------------------- the words below appear in ASTATIN, version made by THE MENDRAKE/SACRED, imported and fixed to ntsc by EMPIRE comment: this is the +++ version, as -------- an unlimited lives trainer mode isn´t needed, if the unlimited time mode is activated. therefor, people, who release this game as +4 version are just little dickhead´s and wanne be´s. /the mendrake -> CHEATMODE INSTALLED! -------------------------------------- the interesting point here is that ASTATIN comes from the factory with a built in time cheat and levelselect. with unlimited time, all you have to do is to clean the screen and start over again. by selecting the right level you get to see the end. no extra cheats at all are of interest. so tell me who really is the wannabe and a little dickhead! must be someone immature enough to call himself a living legend. :) JERRY --> MORE CHEATMODE INSTALLED! -------------------------------------- i found the following routine for installing cheat in a game. 194a jsr $ffe4 get char 194d cmp #$59 y pressed? 194f beq $1957 1951 cmp #$4e n pressed? 1953 beq $1962 1955 bne $194a 1957 lda #$2c 1959 sta $14cc 195c sta $14bc 195f jmp $6000 1962 brk -> MORE CHEATMODE INSTALLED! -------------------------------------- naturally, we who didn´t want to cheat, got a blue screen with a ready prompt instead of getting to play. this was just a small misstake. nothing special really. the sort of error one does now and again. what IS interesting however, is that it is still there. with embarrasing clarity it shows that the cracker never tested his work without cheat! and some people claim that THE GUIDE is wasted.. . . . JERRY --> CRACKING ON TV -------------------------------------- yes, it´s true..... RIMTRIX has returned to the c64 scene after almost two years. during that time, i watched a rather interesting tv programme on our local station called "SCOTTISH REPORTERS". every week in this programme, the reporters cover different topics and sometimes, go undercover to see what kind of "DIRT" they can find. this time, the CRACKING SCENE was in turn to come under the microscope. -> CRACKING ON TV -------------------------------------- there was very little about the good old c64 scene, they just said how people "started" out on this sort of machine. of course, as you´d expect, there was a lot about the amiga scene. a cracker from the uk was inter- viewed (his face was not shown) and he told how he could crack a game on the day of its release (or before) and upload it onto his group´s bbs without having to pay for the call. within hours, copies of the game would circulate and be sold very cheaply. -> CRACKING ON TV -------------------------------------- he was boastful of how he could make phonecalls from almost anywhere and not pay any money. parties were also mentioned, but not much was said about them. the film crew followed those rather nasty people called FAST. they were planning a raid on a local market that sold illegal amiga and pc software. they watched the stall for a while and decided to make their move - and they sure did! very quickly, people that were waiting for disks began to disappear - the stall was empty! -> CRACKING ON TV -------------------------------------- "raid" very successful. equipment and hundreds of disks were taken. suddenly, this woman started yelling and shouting at the "software police" and she sure used nasty language. of course, not that we heard it... all we got was beep after beep! the women turned out to be the wife of the man who was being arrested. here in scotland, we´ve many markets and there are many stalls where you can buy the latest amiga, pc, snes, mega drive and video releases - and at a very good price i might add. CRACKING ON TV -------------------------------------- FAIRLIGHT and CRYSTAL cracks were shown on the amiga... "the cyberkids of space - leaders of the cracking world" was the description given to the groups! of course, FAST really know what people who are involved in illegal software, but they can´t seem to catch them in the act. FAST will never win the piracy war, they don´t have the proper funding to carry out major raids - the crackers will always be one step ahead. -> CRACKING ON TV -------------------------------------- that´s about it, but before you load something else, let me remind you to look out for the NONO mmagazine - fully edited by a female. RIMTRIX/ENTROPY let me emphasize the TRIAD attitude to cracking - it a challenge and an artform. it is not a means for pirates to earn money by selling copies to all and everyone. JERRY --> REACTION -------------------------------------- april 10th STYX/AFL70 dear JERRY it´s me again. this time not with a request, but a thank you for selling me a good 2400 c64 modem. in the past i had some problems with buying a modem. first i bought a modem from XXXXX/SUCCESS. he said the modem was HAYES and could be used to D/L from the US boards. when i had bought it and got it, i found that nothing of this was true. REACTION -------------------------------------- i had just spent a lot of money on an othervise rather cheap teltron modem. and of course XXXXX wouldn´t give me my money back. so, i was a bit scared that the same thing would happen again. i hope that you can understand that. but fortunatly things went perfect, and i must say that i am glad i bought the modem from you. i surely will log onto THE STUDIO one of these days when i finally got my cardsupply fixed. YOURS SINCERELY REACTION jerry -------------------------------------- over the years i have been carefull not to use TRIAD for selling the modem i used to import. however, things are a bit different now. when i got the letter that you read on the previous two pages, this really made me so fucking glad that i can not resist showing it here. you see, around christmas i sold another modem to denmark. i knew that things could go wrong and i cautioned him of this. unfortunatly things went even more wrong. he had to wait -> REACTION -------------------------------------- several weeks extra before he got his modem. naturally he got nervous, suspecting that maybe he was being conned. he asked around to hear what people had to say about me. it turned out that someone had not been 100% happy. when i heared of this, i blow my top skyhigh. i have worked hard as hell to establish a good reputation of being a guy that can be trusted. instead of fuzzing with a customer i have bought back a modem or i have sent him another one no questions asked. -> REACTION -------------------------------------- i have been there for people when they didn´t know how to handle their modems and phonelines. when a guy burned his mainchip i sent him the one from my own modem so he wouldn´t have to wait. no wonder i blew my top. no wonder that letter made me so glad. someone actually thanked me. what is so different today is that i have stopped importing modems. however i still have a few of them left to sell if you need one. REACTION -------------------------------------- those 6 modems i have for sale are the rs 232 model of the APROTEK 2400 modem. a full rs232 inteface comes with the modem at no extra cost. the price is 950 sek. because of the present exchangerates, this makes it a really fair price for buyers in germany or the netherlands. if someone is interested, you HAVE to contact me first, since you need to know how to pay me first and you have to know if i still have one left. JERRY --> CRACKERS ELBOW -------------------------------------- introduction by JERRY now and again i hear someone talk about starting to crack. nothing to it he says. perhaps he is right, but there are other sides to it than what you see on the surface. the following few pages bear good witness of a different side of things. you don´t need to know who he is, but it could just as well be you or you. the lines were added to a disk i got. - - - -- --- ---- ----- ------ ------> CRACKERS ELBOW -------------------------------------- tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies! tears burn in my eyes. your visage flote in the blue blossom skies true, sister, i say. the day is dead, it passed away. the night will fade from pale to grey. and i still believe - i want to stay.. -> CRACKERS ELBOW -------------------------------------- argh! fucking poetry it kills me! why am i not as good as shelley? why am i not as good as coleridge? what is this? why am i not that good? all these questions glowing in my mind without a proper answer.. tears burn in my eyes anyway, what was it that i was going to say? yes! the fucking game! i hate this pucked stupid game. game on shit delux bastard mutated game. -> CRACKERS ELBOW -------------------------------------- today i leave UNTRA for hopefully all eternity. i don´t ever want to be here in the winter again. i hate the winter. i hate the fucking snow. i hate not being able to make my unplanned walks in the night, for 10k or more! i actually hate it. i love to go out, but around here is just snow, snow, snow.... where i come from, we use to have like streets you can walk upon during winter. it is never impossible to take a walk. -> CRACKERS ELBOW -------------------------------------- and still, these woods are so bloody beautiful! and i can´t go out there cause ther is just snow, snow, snow every fucking where! and i love to walk around in the woods. this feels like a stupid joke. not just the snow. the temperature is another factor that makes it impossibl to go outside. i really hate the winteer. i really fucking hate it! I WANT OUT! -> CRACKERS ELBOW -------------------------------------- luckily this is the last night ever at this godforsaken place. i bet it is beautiful in the summer, but it ain´t summer here! i want sun, plus 20 centigrades, hot asphalt... the beach in halmstad and the warm air.. it just doesn´t matter to me if it rains.. i just want to be able to go outside... i love that time of the year..... ahh, but now it is soon spring. the idiot in the other room cries out NOOOOO.... looking at a fucking hockey game. -> CRACKERS ELBOW -------------------------------------- do you see now why i hate him, prefering hockey to looking at NOVA on SVT2? - i hate hockey! i love spring. wonderful air and the sense of life everywhere..... the good old spring drepression. and the following summer depression autumn depression winter depression the process goes on for ever and ever. -> CRACKERS ELBOW -------------------------------------- anyway. we can be absolutely certain about one side of life - it is always pain. (stole that line from buddha) (still true/ed) but the geenie said: i´m sorry, it´s time for me to go.......... bye. -------------------------------------- +++
. debating an opinion
-------------------------------------- - chapter 8 - debating an opinion -------------------------------------- bacchus on trainers wingo on stealing -------------------------------------- TRAINERS -------------------------------------- BACCHUS/FAIRLIGHT howdy hackers! here is my opinion on an always relevant subject. TRAINERS so many times, especially recently, i have seen some pretty idiotic trainers. therefore i would like to comment on TRAINERS. WHY TRAINERS? the reason trainers first were invented, was for the cracker to play through the game to see that his work was 100 %. TRAINERS -------------------------------------- for this, only the TRAINERS needed to play through the game were really necessary. since TRAINERS now are dedicated more to the "end users", the need for them has grown. TRAINERS are now for the lamers who want to configure the CHEATING for their own personal use. they don´t always want a maximum of cheat, but a limited cheat while still keeping some of the challenge from the game. let us keep in mind that a good TRAINER is by far the best way of spoling a game. TRAINERS -------------------------------------- once you played a game with TRAINER, you´ll never want to play the version without cheat again. SO WHAT CHEATS ARE NEEDED THEN? this is of course dependant of the gametype. the head rule must be that the TRAINERS provided should be enough to walk through the game without the risk of getting "game over!". for this reason, unlimited time, energy and lives are the basic ones. in most ACTION games where you guide a character, he is often FLASHING in > TRAINERS -------------------------------------- the very start, indicating that he can not be harmed. he has INVULNERABILITY! that is my favourite and now i have learned to spell it as well! stopping the counter provides this mode during the game! the main rule must be: where two TRAINERS fill the same purpose, only one should be counted. else we get what we know as DOUBLE CHEATING. when INVULNERABILITY and TIME is selected, then usually the other possible cheat options mensioned, will have no effect. TRAINERS -------------------------------------- that is in the normal case. in f.ex. mayhem in monsterland, you have to add unlimited lives, as you can fall off the edges and lose lives even during invulnerability. why is THIS not a doublecheating then?? listen up: normally lives, invulnerability and energy are just three different ways of making your character live forever! BUT, normally you have to start from another position if you die, so energy and the invulnerability is NOT normaly the same thing as lives. also, invul.. somtimes kill the opponents, making it different from normal energy trainers! TRAINERS -------------------------------------- for these reasons personally i feel that it´s ok counting all of these trainers. UNLESS unlimited energy and INVU... are different and the effect is the same, they could very well be counted as a doubletrainer! BUT, having "select # of lives" and unlimited time as TWO TRAINERS is stupidity! only ONE of these can possibly be in effect at one time, no matter what! if you have unlimited, then it´s of little (NONE,what so ever to be specific) interest if the counter is stopped at one or two lives this is FOR SURE A DOUBLETRAINER! TRAINERS -------------------------------------- after much consideration, i have now decided to always use "chose # of lives(0=unlimited)", as this makes the TRAINERS optional as it should be! in-game keys: these are swell, as they can enable you to get to the next level without having to complete the present one. in a multilevel game, a levelskip is a MUST. other in-game other in-game keys as for example to fill something up during the game, often are superflous if you allready have unlimited access to the item in concern. TRAINERS -------------------------------------- say unlimited lives: you start with five lives, but as you enter the next stage you are awarded a extra life! with six lives you pass on and press your in-game key, storing FIVE in the lives counter. WOW, the counter wasn´t that much of a advantage, more than a disadvantage in my eyes! ok, i see the problem with the three option selected (unlimited/select live and in-game keys), especially as you might want to combine "select lives" with "in-game keys". TRAINERS -------------------------------------- however,unlimited lives shall not be used together with any of the others, in that case we got DOUBLE TRAINERS!! people seem to have accepted that they shall disable the highscore saver in cheatmode. one step in right direction but the "in-game keys" are often enabled no matter what, so you CAN really cheat the highscores! make sure this never happens! most menues asks you to first select Trainer or Hiscoresaver. i prefere having a counter. what i do is that -> TRAINERS -------------------------------------- INC the counter every time that a cheat is selected, and i allow the saver only if the counter comes out zero in the end. this way i can show the trainers i have installed, even to the ones who like to play "honest". watching the end sequence is nice, but is it a trainer? some think that you should be able to get back to the game after watching the end, but i can not see the point in this. your opinion please, contact me!! and on to the next one ---------------------> DIRTY ROTTEN SWINDLERS -------------------------------------- wingo in triad land in april i recieved some versions of SPLITTER of nebula labratories. normally i like that sort of games, but i found the first picture in SPLITTER to be so uggly that i was not just motivated to work my way through it to the followin levels. it also irritaded me that this picture was an old one. some days later i got a version with a level-skipper. l.a. style of -> DIRTY ROTTEN SWINDLERS -------------------------------------- genesis was cute and installed that for us. now at last i could cheat my way through it to see the rest. good grief, better and better after each level. i found graphics from greystorm/dominators design and one picture done by ratt. there are more that i recognize but i can not recall where i saw them. i assume most, if not all graphics is ripped from demos and games. the credits for SPLITTER are givven on the intro screen which is a normal multicolor picture. to read -> DIRTY ROTTEN SWINDLERS -------------------------------------- the name of the person who is said to have done the code and graphix is not possible. it looks like antrax but it can be anything else. conclusion: this guy has made a game pretending he did both code and art. i guess he earned a fortune from la avalon, a polish software house. none of the real artists is mentioned in the entire game, i have looked in the original as well. i wouldn´t hesitate a second to spit this creep in his face. maybe there is no law against ripping graphix from -> DIRTY ROTTEN SWINDLERS -------------------------------------- demos and other pd, but the scene has it´s unwritten laws. both past and present sceners deserve to be highly respected. it´s not right making money ripping the hard work off of others. this seems to be the new trend. bacchus/fairlight recognized sprites in the saliva kid that were copied from mario bros except for one or two pixels. (in BACCHUS´S quiz:), the left turtle is from mario and the other is from saliva /ed) the worst is that newcommers can be fooled by these thives who think -> DIRTY ROTTEN SWINDLERS -------------------------------------- that they are really good at making games and art the way they do. i´ve also noticed dominators design graphics in other games, but i have never seen them getting credit for it. maybe you would like to see if your graphics is in splitter. go get a copy of it! i´d also like the author of the game to say something in defence. just mail a reaction to us. if he has anything more to add. wingo/triad DIRTY ROTTEN SWINDLERS -------------------------------------- a comment WINGO is so right. the blue chopper was drawn by the legendary SARGE in the days before he joined TRIAD. in those days he was in FRONT and used his initials JOL as the handle. i have the picture of course! that picture came along with others and a puzzle code too.. . . . however, WINGO is not right about the legal aspect. an artistic work is ALWAYS protected by the copy right -> DIRTY ROTTEN SWINDLERS -------------------------------------- laws. to use someone elses picture to make money in any way, is not allowed. if i were THE SARGE, i would write to the software company demanding remuneration. they made money on the game and they should fucking share it with him. and with the others. if the old kommunist countries like to be part of the western economi, they have to learn that they can´t just grab what they want and get away with it. that would be a sure step towards stagnation. JERRY
