│ OI UPDATE <<< NEW: │
│ Before we go into the game notes, remember to read the SCENE NOTES after │
│ as this explains all the confusion on DISC limits ;) Also addtional update │
│ on PDMs budget ware LUCKY LUKE, thanks to all those people who pointed this│
│ PDM lameness out to us :) │
│ │
│ Game Notes: │
│ Centipede, the classic arcade game of the '80s, is now revived and brought │
│ full speed into the '90s! You're Wally, an ordinary Wee person who must │
│ defend the village against the onslaught of Centipedes and other │
│ creatures, including spiders, army ants, fleas, scorpions and other │
│ creepy-crawlies. Command a custom-built Centipede-fighting vehicle called │
│ a Shooter. Battle across many different areas to the Centipede Temple, │
│ saving captured and stranded Wee people along the way. Finally, meet up │
│ with the mother of all bad creatures - the Queen Centipede. See if you can │
│ put an end to this menace once and for all. │
│ Limeys'R Us │
│ │
│ │
│ Ripped (not Raped): The Videos were given a BREAK. The foriegn files were │
│ sent to a FUSION. │
│ │
│ Scene Notes: │
│ People lets be clear on one thing, SPA membership is comprised of the │
│ following groups: │
│ │
│ BACKLASH │
│ DIVINE │
│ HYBRID │
│ ORIGIN │
│ REFLUX │
│ │
│ All of these groups are FULL members of the SPA and have EQUAL vote. │
│ Some of these groups are new groups that comprise OLD SCHOOL members like │
│ Origin for example. Where CYPHER and RAKIM have been around since BEFORE │
│ the Amiga days. Where as other groups like PARADIGM seem old but comprise │
│ newbies like ZEUS who has only ever been on PC. │
│ │
│ For the lamers out there the SPA has not, I repeat NOT had a FINAL vote │
│ on the DISC limit, thus the limit is still 75 and no greater. For those │
│ people who think different or wish to try and force a higher limit upon │
│ SPA members, guess what? No chance FUCKERS! Some people say who is SPA │
│ to say what the limits are? Why do we need order ??? Why do need limits ?? │
│ 90 is needed ??? │
│ Well SPA is made of the groups whos games you download time and time again.│
│ Game like this MAJOR title. If we have decided to set up a commmitie to │
│ discuss scene matters when we the groups make up the majority of pirate │
│ GAME releases, where that majority is +90% then you should at least │
│ repect our wishes as a UNITED SPA on these issues. We need order/rules │
│ of some kind in the scene to stop lameness. Lameness such as BETAS, RAPES, │
│ UNCRACKED games, BREAKS, DUPES, KIDDIEWARE and basiclly SHIT. Its about │
│ bringing quality to our scene so, that its worth while. After all why │
│ bother with pirate warez if its not worth it. Thus some sort of standards │
│ has been developed to avoid the CRAP. │
│ Disc limits are needed for various reasons. One of the biggest reasons is │
│ the fact that not everyone has fast lines. And people do not want to leech │
│ hundreds of megs to find out its a load of crap. Others would argue that │
│ if they do not have fast lines then they are lamers. Well there are two │
│ points that provbe this wrong. One is that if you have a fast link then │
│ you can leech the ISO anyway and warez should mean jack all to you anyway. │
│ The second is many elite people who contribute to the scene are still on │
│ 28.8k and have done more for the scene than your lamo site or trader group.│
│ But by far the biggest reason and never answered reason is how does one │
│ tell the difference between ISO and WAREZ? Where is the line drawn?. The │
│ answer is with a DISC limit. And to keep that limit as small as possible │
│ in order to greater distinguish the differences between WAREZ and ISO. │
│ The surggested 90 limit also seems to be another bone of contention. For │
│ the record the limit is still 75 DISCS of 1.44 MEG size and no larger. │
│ Should this be increased? Well this is still be discussed by the SPA. But │
│ the whole reason this came up was not actually becuase its XMAS and loads │
│ of sizable games are comming, but becuase of another issue. │
│ This issue was RAPES. A RAPE is where a game has been stripped down from │
│ the CD but yet not all of the game is their within the release to make it │
│ playable. For example a game with no sound or the game is missing the 3DFX │
│ or normal GFX files. One group was doing this and refused to believe its │
│ releases were RAPES. Even though they had more addons than a Lego set. │
│ Thus the discussion on the disc limit was raised and still argued about. │
│ Origin have yet to vote on the DISC limit as we would like a VOTE on RAPES │
│ with surggested all group agreement on what is a RAPE so, they can be │
│ banned and NUKED. Needless to say the group who started this all suddenly │
│ refused to accept thispoint of view and then tried to move onto DISC │
│ raising to escape the flak they received over RAPES. We don't mind this │
│ except that we kind of get the idea that this group would eventually │
│ start RAPING again even when the limit is 90. You see when you take away │
│ their RAPES, DUPES, UN-CRACKED, BETAS and BREAKS. This group does not have │
│ many good release like this one. The group that has caused all this shit │
│ is PARADIGM. I know that you maybe think that PDM stand for quality and in │
│ the past they used too. But they have let it slip and its slipped badly. │
│ │
│ The Rise and Fall of PARADIGM: │
│ PDM was started by newbies like Zeus, who before this group had never │
│ started or ran his own group, unless you count group ZEUS. But enough said │
│ about that lameness the better. PDM when they started, were out to be the │
│ most quality group on the scene. They even laid down some GREAT standards │
│ for others to follow. As we shall see they themselevs have failed to follow│
│ those same high standards.At the start PDM laid out 5 goals that they would│
│ archive and contine to follow. Whilst they did indeed archive these most │
│ noble standards as will be seen they failed to live upto them all the time.│
│ These texts are taken from an NFO on the PDM website: │
│ │
│ │
│ PDM GOALS: │
│ To help illustrate this point, here are the goals we intend to │
│ fulfill in our release process: │
│ 1.) No CD-RAPES │
│ ~~~~~~~~~~~ │
│ Some games are best left unripped and we don't intend on │
│ raping games just for the sake of a release. We feel that │
│ if a game can't be stripped down to an enjoyable version, │
│ its not worth releasing. │
│ NOTE: PDM's original primary goal is what they seem to break the most. │
│ F15 had no sound, MotorCross needed a level RAPED out as an addon │
│ by them. Ultimate Race Pro had how many addons ??? Might & Magic 6│
│ another blatent RAPE. And the list goes on. RAPING is what PDM │
│ do best and it also happens to be against their own original │
│ number 1 standard. │
│ │
│ 2.) No KIDDY games │
│ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ │
│ At Paradigm, we feel kiddy games should be best left to │
│ groups that specialize in those games, since they typically │
│ do not appeal to any real fans of the game scene. │
│ NOTE: To be fair to PDM I have not seen a kiddie game from them. │
│ │
│ 3.) No BUDGET titles │
│ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ │
│ You may be asking yourself why certain game release groups │
│ must resort to releasing below-standard, and sometimes │
│ just plain cheezy games. Many of these games can be found │
│ in the $10 game basket at your local CompUSA or OfficeDepot. │
│ We feel this problem stems from a serious lack of │
│ professionalism, and Paradigm will refrain from releasing │
│ those types of titles, and instead leave them for lesser │
│ groups to gobble up. │
│ NOTE: Thanks those people who pointed out the budget ware LUCKY LUKE │
│ to us from PDM. Seems PDM fucked up on this promise as well! │
│ │
│ 4.) No RE-releases │
│ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ │
│ If a game has been put out and its v1.0 or newer, that's │
│ a good indication that it's a final and working version. │
│ As we have stated before, we are not desperate for │
│ releases. We will always release final versions of games │
│ we get, and don't intend to "finalize" any release just │
│ because we are angry that we lost on the original release. │
│ NOTE: Just when you thought PDM were only breaking one of their own rule│
│ They ignore another. Two DUPES they have released that I know of │
│ are the infamous MACHINE HUNTER and PROJECT AIROS. Zeus claimed │
│ MACHINE HUNTER wasn't final in the NFO. Well it was, just badly │
│ cracked. He then claimed later that it was final but not cracked │
│ properly. Well then they should have done it as a fix and not a │
│ release. Also even if that was true, if you read above closely │
│ PDM state they will not finalise any other groups release anyway. │
│ So, you see Zeus is talking shit on that release anyway. PROJECT │
│ AIROS was of course proven to be another game and that was just │
│ its euro name. Mistakes happen they would say. But what about │
│ when you dupe on purpose becuase you feel like it? They would say │
│ they never do that. But they did! Ultra Violent Worlds was a DUPE │
│ of the DIVINE release. They even say so in the NFO: │
│ │
│ "While i was working DVN beat us but i still put it out - maybe you │
│ like it more on 2 disks instead of 18 :) - its the same game. " │
│ │
│ While 2 discs is nice, as the NFO says "its the same game." clearly │
│ breaking PDM's own standards. │
│ │
│ 5.) No NON-WORKING releases │
│ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ │
│ Unworking releases are the single most irritating thing │
│ people in the scene have to deal with. Allowing this to │
│ happen at a constant rate is a disgrace to the scene, and │
│ should not be tolerated by any major game release group │
│ out there. Many of the bad rips and botched cracks by the │
│ groups in the early days of the CD scene could at least be │
│ attributed to not having prior experience with this new │
│ media. But seeing this still happen on a regular basis by │
│ today's CD release groups can only be the product of sheer │
│ laziness and just not caring enough about the quality of │
│ a release. Paradigm intends to break this trend, and by │
│ doing so, guarantee a level of integrity to all of our │
│ releases, so that people out there don't have to be afraid │
│ of grabbing the latest and greatest release for fear that │
│ it won't work. │
│ NOTE: PDM used to be quite good at this in the past. Unfortnatly its │
│ all gone to shit recently. V2000 SAVE fix, many fixes for Might │
│ & Magic. The list goes on. Their Monaco release will also only │
│ work on some peoples machines as its badly cracked. │
│ │
│ CONCLUSION: │
│ Its not very impressive when you set out 5 clear goals and then fail │
│ to keep to these standards with success being only obtained with 1 out │
│ the 5. Before you start a slagging match with anyone from ORIGIN. │
│ Remember these are PDM's standards not anyone elses. This is what PDM │
│ belives to be elite! Yet they fail to meet these so called great goals │
│ of theirs. Therefore by their own definition they are LAME! They used to │
│ have a good repuatation, but now its all gone down the shitter.The cracks│
│ are more like the old fuck ups FFC used to do. Some poeple have even said│
│ FFC cracks for PDM as the amount of fixes are about the same level! But │
│ we belive this to be false, as not even FFC needed as many fixes as PDM │
│ PDM claim no one is running the group and its open. Yet we all know ZEUS │
│ is a stalinist dictator and runs the group with a kulak style operation. │
│ Hes even black mailed people from other groups into rejoining PDM after │
│ they have left or he would NARC them. And has stolen money from poor │
│ Russians who need software to sell for bread. Yes ZEUS sells! Its all │
│ one big corprate biz from ZEUS INC. That one good HARDWARE supplier he │
│ keeps advertising for is actually number 3-4 now. And the selling of │
│ DAT tapes must bring in a few thousand dollors! Thats why ZEUS needs to │
│ raise the limit, to keep the releases going now that they have lost the │
│ quality. So, the business can keep selling. And he can rake the profits │
│ in. Yes not only are PDM lame, but they are moeny lamers as well.And they│
│ do it at the expense of the good scene people. BAN PDM WAREZ now! │
│ After all, its over the limit and a load of uncracked raped duped shit │
│ anyway. And when it isn't, its BETA! │
│ Do not put up with newbie ZEUS lameness anymore, BAN PDM warez NOW! │
