HOWDY HACKERS...

another month passed so here is the 3rd
issue of your favourite CRACKER magazine
this time we planned to change the
outfit,but we weren't able to manage it
in time... maybe NEXT TIME...
this time we changed the textstyle a bit
coz we need more memory for the text!

in the last issue we wrote that we would
like to set up some kinda CRACKER CHARTS
in this magazine! REMEMBER?
but we've got only a few votes so now
we can't give you a CHART but it's only
up to you to have a new column!...

send us the following votes :
15 BEST QUALITY CRACKING GROUPS
15 BEST SPEED CRACKING GROUPS
15 BEST SINGLE CRACKERS

and remember that you're allowed to vote
for overseas groups/guys,too!

if you wanna have your version in awtb
send us these infos: name of the game
──────────────────── cracker group
cracker(s)
length
amount of cheats
extras

about the length:NEVER forget to add
the hi-score saver to the game length if
there's any... also tell us if there's
something unusual in that version...
(intro included in it,or so... ed)

EXTRAS:we count as extras the following
things : 1ST RELEASE
HI-SCORE SAVER INSTALLEDD
IFFL PACKED

also tell us if you've found a bug in a
crack or if someone uses DOUBLE CHEATS!
