 The following text has been typed and
 approved by PROPAGANDA STAFF, but we
 do not support the theories and conc-
 ept about piracy slowly tranquilizing
 the Commodore 64. Our idea is, that
 today, the buyer's market and the
 scene function on very different
 grounds - unlike on other formats.

 Keep that in mind while reading the
 text.

With the C64 scene and it's software
companies slowly dying away due to the
non caring attitude of the pirates who
care about nothing but firstreleases,
we at ELECTRIC BOYS Entertainment Soft-
ware have formulated a plan to give the
pirates a more of a cause to crack games
other than for their state of eliteness.

We among all the other C64 supporting
companie are on the verge of discontin-
uing C64 releases due to the poor sales
and vast scale of piracy so as an incen-
tive for the pirates to buy the origin-
al of all the games they crack we are
offering prizes for the best cracked
versions of all our releases.

So not only we give you permission to
legally crack our games, but we will
reward you for doing it, how can you
possibly lose?

               THE RULES
               _________
1. In order to enter the competition
   you must buy the original games, for
   which an invoice will be issued and
   which you must return with your crack
   to prove that you have bought the
   original game.


2. Only entries with the original in-
   voice will be considered, no photo
   copies or excuses of lost invoices
   will be accpeted.

3. All cracks should be coded in some
   way be each group to allow recracks
   to be found easily, the codes and
   the locations should be sent togeth-

   er with the crackin in an easy to
   understand format. This is not an
   essential rule, but we will not be
   held responsible if a recrack wins
   the competition.

4. Cracks will be marked on their over-
   all quality and improvements on the
   original, i.e. excess junk removed
   from memory, packed levels, NTSC
   fixed, removed bugs, depack times,
   loading times, useful trainers etc.
   NOTE: Do not spoil the game by over
   training.

             says Tranziie

For those who is on the IRC, you might
 have noticed a certain SCOPE. More
 specific RUNE of HOAXERS.
 Claiming that our Scope never were on
 the net is a weak excuse.

 Anyway, I'm going to nick myself as
 SNACKY, MR.Z or why not SCORPIE?

 None of them are seen on the Irc, so
 I do as Rune, pretend I am someone I'm
                  NOT
                  NOT.
