     welcome to the second issue of     
                                        
       \ THE TRIAD GAMERS GUIDE /       
                                        
 triad brings you this guide to recent  
 games. we want to inform you of all    
 the different versions brought out     
 by all the groups on the cracker scene 
                                        
 * joy in port 1 or 2 to scroll pages.  
 * shift-lock to pause logo scroll.     
                                        
 we review games and add them to the    
 GAMERS GUIDE as soon as possible. we   
 will keep them in THE GUIDE for two    
 or even three issues because we want   
 to be able to show EVERY version that  
 has been released.                     

            \ GAMERS GUIDE /            
                                        
 we can not quarantee that we will be   
 able to test every level of every game 
 so we would like you to help. let us   
 know when you find a bug or if we miss 
 a nice aspect of a crack.              
                                        
 if you want to make sure that your     
 cracks are always in the GUIDE, send   
 them directly to TRIAD. we accept      
 written or telephone reports, but only 
 if we can get someone neutral to       
 confirm the figures.                   
                                        
 the games are listed in alphabetical   
 order. the versions are listed in      
 order of their lenght, shortest first. 

            \ GAMERS GUIDE /            
                                        
                                        
 we don't say that the shortest is the  
 best, but normally the best is to be   
 found among those who are shortest.    
 the crackers who take the time and     
 have the skil to remove crap from the  
 code are more likely to get a better   
 crack.                                 
                                        
 generally a high amount of cheats is   
 appreciated when comparing versions,   
 but too many cheats can be silly or    
 can even destroy a game. if the only   
 point of a cheat is to add another '+' 
 we woun't regard it as a bonus.

            \ GAMERS GUIDE /            
                                        
 most reactions to the GAMERS GUIDE     
 have been positive. people think that  
 it is fine that they too will get to   
 show their cracking abilities to the   
 the scene. speed should not be every-  
 thing. a supplier with inside          
 connections should not be everything.  
                                        
 like us, those groups think that a few 
 extra hours to make a better quality   
 crack should be rewarded and it is     
 only fair that the efforts are         
 recognized. after all, if we foul up,  
 the GAMERS GUIDE will show that too.   
 so it is: behave or be exposed.        
                                        

            \ GAMERS GUIDE /            
                                        
 one group has been VERY negativ to the 
 GAMERS GUIDE. they say that TRIAD is   
 doing the GUIDE only to promote TRIAD! 
 they say we list the games on length   
 only to promote TRIAD.                 
                                        
 does it surprice you that this group   
 has its own diskmag where they compare 
 one game per issue depending on date   
 of release?                            
                                        
 THE GUIDE shows the world ALL cracks   
 we know of or else it would not be a   
 guide. what we promote is high         
 quality cracking giving a good game    
 a fair chance.                         

            \ GAMERS GUIDE /            
                                        
 another complaint from this group is   
 that TRIAD is using a short intro to   
 make our cracks shorter. wadda joke!!  
 MR.Z, LUCIFER, 3D and JANITOR used a   
 very short intro and what we do now is 
 only to keep up the TRIAD tradition    
 because we like it.                    
                                        
 way back in 1986 several groups didn't 
 use an intro at all and then our intro 
 added to the crack. later other groups 
 started making more and more advanced  
 intros to show their ability to code.  
 TRIAD never fell for that. we have     
 always saved it for our demos.         
                                        

            \ GAMERS GUIDE /            
                                        
 turning questions over, we wonder if   
 maybe those who complain, do this      
 because they can't code a good looking 
 short intro themselves. it could also  
 be that they prefere a long intro to   
 blame when they don't want to bother   
 to make a quality crack.               
                                        
 the idea of an intro is to introduce   
 the game and to show the world what    
 group made the crack. TRIAD prefere    
 to make it short, and that is it!      
                                        
 well, enough of that and over to the   
 small talk. JERRY here handing the
