It...
There are two installers:
1). The disk installer (to duplicate the protection) 2). And the Hard drive installer that was updated twice, the last version supported 68o6o. Look around for it, if you can't find it, I'll fire up the A4ooo and retrieve it from there. |

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Don't come running to me with your meat and two veg ! I was only joking - honest .... BYE BYE. See you on the next game and this other message in the begining of each sector: WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT PAL ? well this one appears in other games too ... |

Kick Off 3
Dr.John says: Don't change this! It is coded in S-P-A-G-E-T-T-I (c) 1994 self protecting code. You will not be able to decypher ALL the hidden secrets of KICK OFF 3, many have tried, none have succeeded. Rrrrriight Tasty
Needless to say..... spagetti code it wasn't, time consuming to crack, but certainly not hard! |

Question is though if it isn't just a trap.

OUPS, I think there is a lame guy who uses a monitor......What do you want ????? Hey, I know ! Making a trainer version, eh ???? What about using the build in trainer ? And what about writing your mega mighty lamename in the title text ??? Oh, that will make your group famous, believe me ! Well, that was the message to the lamers, now let us come to the essential things:
We, the programmers and grafix, spend nearly six weeks of our life in developing this blablablablablablablablabla. Spread not the word without the disk and have a good time on the next copy party. |

Time Scanner - 1989 activision
the classic RNC text in the bootblock :
Protection (C)Copyright 1989 Rob Northen Computing. All Rights Reserved. followed by : Well, you will never learn Mr. Northen !! This protection is a piece of shit !!! Cracked by the BEST ... QUARTEX !.. |

Hi All,
I don't think anyone has mentioned the rants of Richard Alpin from Final Fight and Line of Fire. There pretty long and so I won't post them(Unless someone wants it). Although, you can just open the disk (Disk 1) image in wordpad and search for Alpin or Richard. The text is in the startup-sequence, if you want to look at it on a real amiga or an emulator. P.s. Get the Quartex crack of Final Fight to see a reply from the Ben/The Surge. |

A note to Richard Aplin: Yeah, you're right, you must not be into making
good protections anymore because this took me all of 3 minutes to crack. I would not even bother writing you this message had it not been for your prior love note. Maybe a game of chess would have been more amusing, but then again, your attitude makes it seem like you are the guy who always lost at chess, therefore think it a stupid game. Whatever, I have a lot of respect for game programmers, and would like to keep it that way. btw: as far as your ego, Double Dragon and Shinobi amiga were nothing to have an ego about, BUT! this is a superb conversion. |

Line of Fire text
Hi All,

thanx for uploading these files
The 1st part is really exhilarating!! The 2nd part is sooooo wordy.... I though I was a very wordy dude ,putting "endless" babbling in readme files or in comments of sources, yet, that guy beats all the records :eek Excellent to give such a detailed info on his background. I wondered if he'd stop before giving his personal measurements ( ) or his favourite corn-flakes brand . |

Crackers get a telling-off from Alien Breed author :)
This might be very old hat, but at least me hasn't known of this yet. I sometimes try to find out cracking groups of intro-less games by looking into the hex code.
You DO find bizarre things there somewhere! Look ... BTW: does anyone know if this is jumped to in the game code (i. e. displayed in any form, for instance, if you f*ck up the protection) or is it just unlinked text written inside? Last edited by andreas; 05 August 2005 at 22:31. |

lol.
That would probably come out cleaner in something like WordPad as the squares a line-breaks. But interesting none the less. |

I think I've seen this one before, it does look familiar.
I remember back in the C64 days an app that loaded up a nice little animation if the copy protection failed. It was basically a graveyard with a prominent tombstone in the center that read: R.I.P MJH Which if you're familiar with the old C64 scene was the initials of Mike J. Henry of Fast Hack'em fame |
