For those who liked F1 Racing Simulator, you ║ ║ should know that F1 is using the POD 3D engine. ║ ║ ║ ║ The game was a sort of challange since it had 14 ("fourteen" YES) EXEs ║ ║ which is a kind of record. Each EXE is designed for a specific hardware. ║ ║ ║ ║ Congratulations to Yazz & Dumdi for their good work on F1 Racing Sim, and ║ ║ surprise, history repeated itself with a dupe attempt of HBD. Regarding the║ ║ pathetic attacks of HBD, let us examine their November month..so far they ║ ║ have 11 releases and a dupe, but among those a few require a little ║ ║ explanation. COMBAT CHESS was a lame game that was available for weeks and ║ ║ that no group even bothered to release since w/o the movies the game was ║ ║ lame. But in their thirst for releases HBD did it. Then they did Flying ║ ║ Corps Gold another interesting fuck up. The major innovation of FC Gold was║ ║ the 3DFX that HBD ripped... What a slaugher. MI 3 is certainly a nice title║ ║ but it should not have been ripped. Besides they had to cut in into pieces ║ ║ to fit the disk limit. LAME... ║ ║ ║ ║ But it was the occassion for HBD to set a world record. The largest fix ║ ║ ever : 170 Mb..... Thanks for dumdi & yazz to have cleaned up the mess. ║ ║ Then CARGAMEDDON was another fuck up all they had to do is to use the CLS ║ ║ version that Dogfriend released a while ago which was 100% working... ║ ║ And then before that F1 Racing dupe came out Dr Who a nice kiddie game. ║ ║ So before you open your mouth HBD clean up your own mess! ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ oOo Install Notes oOo ║ ║ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ║ ║ Run INSTALL.EXE and follow the options to install to a directory of your ║ ║ choice. When complete, run WINPOD.EXE for the normal version, PODMMX.EXE ║ ║ for normal MMX machines, WPOD3DFX.EXE for 3DFX cards and WPODD3D.EXE for ║ ║ direct 3D h/w like the matrox Mystique. Enjoy! ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ oOo Cracker's Notes oOo ║ ║ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ║ ║ As many people may remember, the original POD required a few fixes before ║ ║ a 100% cracked version was complete. So we played through this one a ║ ║ lot to try and ensure we had all the checks removed. Although there were ║ ║ simple checks in various locations of the game, we also had to put up ║ ║ with options such as saving being disabled as well as missing files. ║ ║ Due to the fact that there were so many patches required to crack each ║ ║ EXE it would have taken too long to individually crack all 14. Hence we ║ ║ have included cracks for the 4 most common configurations. Special ║ ║ thanks go to Juice for his assistance in getting the game to the crackers ║ ║ and to Devil for his cracking and testing of the 3D versions. ║ ║ ║ ║ On a more serious note you may have witnessed Hybrid's disgraceful attack ║ ║ on Dogfriend. Whether this is purely out of jealousy or because of the ║ ║ realisation that their dream to own November is long since gone, we'll ║ ║ never know. One thing is for sure though and that is that Dogfriend ║ ║ remains one of Europe's best suppliers and crackers. Long live the great ║ ║ Dane! ║ ║ - Grudge ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ On a Very Late Note, try 3 am, i would like to thank Capitano for all the ║ ║ help on this one, thanks for everything you did! ║ ║ -Kali ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ oOo WANTED oOo ║ ║ ^^^^^^ ║ ║ Due to the overwhelming amount of feedback we got about artists, we are ║ ║ going to try this again. First, we are looking for people who can ║ ║ supply HARDWARE to our group. Most importantly 3DFX Cards, MMX Chips, ║ ║ and Hard Drives. If you think you are able to help out, contact us ASAP ║ ║ to be rewarded. Second, we are looking for DEMO's (4k, 64k, even 4MB if ║ ║ they are good enough) with a CLASS theme. The DEMO Scene and our Scene ║ ║ used to be tightly knit. Today, you are lucky if anyone knows what the ║ ║ DEMO Scene is. We would like to change that, and give the DEMO Scene ║ ║ some much needed exposure, especially here in the USA. Lastly, we just ║ ║ wanted to thank everyone for all the positive feedback we have received ║ ║ over the past few weeks. It's nice to know our work is appreciated.
