I played each type of game to its fullest, without any │ │ problems, including saving! What more can we say, it's FIFA 97, with │ │ Modem and Netork play. Make sure you only play this in DOS, NOT IN A │ │ DOS SHELL! It will not work. There is a windows 95 version on the same │ │ cd...but who cares! If you play games, then you know DOS is best. │ │ │ │ │ │ ENJOY! │ │ │ │ What was ripped out: │ │ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ │ │ The animation files were replaced with the smallest animation file, │ │ EA Sports logo. When you load the game, you will see this logo a couple │ │ of times...DON'T WORRY...that is normal. We had to leave those files │ │ in there. The players sounds were also ripped out, but all the sounds │ │ for the game are in there...you won't even know they are gone. │ │ │ │ │ │ Installation: │ │ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ │ │ To install this game, use RAR version 2.0 or higher. Simply unzip all │ │ the files, run RAR, and your ready to start. To setup your soundcard, │ │ simply type install, select your soundcard, or use the auto find, and │ │ then finish the install without installing anything else. DO NOT USE │ │ THE TEST BUTTON after you find your card...it will kick you out of the │ │ installation. From there, use the CRACK2.COM, and type FIFA97... │ │ (Note: Be sure to have LASTDRIVE=Z in your config.sys file) │ │ │ │ │ ┌────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │■ GROUP NEWS ■│ │ ╞════════════════╛ │ │ │ │ As you can clearly see, the group formerly known as 'ZEUS' has │ │ finally chosen its new name. We feel that our new name is │ │ symbolic of what we have set out to do with our group. The main │ │ goal of this new group is to re-instill the sense of quality and │ │ professionalism that was once associated with major game release │ │ groups. We intend to take full responsibility for our actions and │ │ assert our objectives so that all in the scene can expect a high │ │ level of quality associated with our releases. │ │ │ │ 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. │ │ │ │ 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. │ │ │ │ 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. │ │ │ │ 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. │ │ │ │ 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. │ │ │ ┌────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │■ GROUP GREETS ■│ │ ╞════════════════╛ │ │ │ │ HYBRID - RAZOR 1911 - PRESTIGE - RiSC - NRG │ │ │ │ │ │ Crackpot, White Knight, The Outlaws, Holy Beast, Mad Turnip, Mason, │ │ Werner&Tardy, Ico & LTD │ │ │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ░▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒░ ╒═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ │ PARADIGM MEMBERSHIP │ │───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────│ │ Crackpot, Diviolator, FFC, Hemp Hoodlum, Holybeast, Ico, JBM, │ │ John Lennon, Johnny Cyberpunk, Menion Leah, Oliver Stoned, Onyx, │ │ Specie, Snoop-Maverick, The Outlaws, Ultimate&Znake, WaxAttack, │ │ White Knight, ZEUS │ │ │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ░▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒░ ╒═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ │ PARADIGM BOARDS & SITES │ │───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────│ │ Park Central World HQ 16 Nodes XXX-XXX-XXXX Crackpot/SV │ │ Inside World European HQ XX XxXxX XXX-XXX-XXXX Ico │ │ Brandbeer 2 Member Site XX XxXxX XXX-XXX-XXXX WaxAttack │ │ │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ░▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒░ ╒═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ │ HOW TO REACH US: │ │───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────│ │ E-Mail: [email protected] │ │ WWW: www.coming.soon! │ │ IRC: #paradigm │ │ Postal: Coming soon! │ │ │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────[10.21.96]──┘ " PARADIGM - Pronounced (pair·a·dime) "
