English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Eliminator Crack

At the time, there was 1 or 2 Amiga games being released everyday. Perhaps the cracker looked at the game and thought it could be quickly cracked without an intro, or try and crack it properly but risk being beaten by another group.

So a quick crack was made with the intro removed with a possible intention of releasing the full game a bit later. But then nobody got around to it after every other group did the same thing. And thus, the intro remained missing.

I personally doubt the single-file thing is correct, as if the full version with intro was released at the time, then that one would have been spread well before Defjam and those other butchers stripped the intro off the game. And if you had the full version and then a single file version without the intro was released, would you really bother to delete the full version and accept the inferior release?
