GεNεSiS proudly presents:   BLACKTHORNE  from  INTERPLAY!  After
playing  the  three-level  playable preview a month ago, I could
not  wait until this  game was completed.   In this game you are
Blackthorne,  armed  with a shotgun (at the beginning), who must
fight and  find his way  out of the  complex levels  by  jumping
pits,  taking  elevators,  climbing ladders,  and dodging  enemy
fire!  Collect  valuable  items,  bombs, and  gadgets,  and free
(or  mercilessly  blow away)  the enslaved workers as you try to
make  your  escape!   There's plenty of blood splattering action
in  this  side-view arcade  game, which reminds me of  Flashback
from last year.  This is a MUST download.  This game rocks!

Just  unzip to  a  directory and install.  Run the CRACK.COM and
you're set!  Thanks to Dark Knight for the fast crack!

Stay tuned  for more kick ass releases coming soon from GENESiS!
Greets to PARADOX, HYBRID, and SABOTAGE!

DR. INSANITY / GENESiS

ALL:  RAZOR's true spirit showed through once again,  on Dec 14,
during  the  release of  ECSTATICA from  Psygnosis.  GENESiS had
three people using four accounts who were  simultaneously trying
to upload our release to ASSASSIN'S GUILD, the Razor WHQ.  Razor
only  had HOT TUNA, with one line,  uploading the  same 13  disk
release.   With our four  uploaders  against their one uploader,
even with a couple disk advantage, there is NO way GENESiS could
have lost that  release to  Assassins' Guild.   However, GENESiS
did lose.   Why?  Because  Razor  CHEATED.  In  total,  we  were
dropped carrier on at least 40 times over the  period of an hour
and a half.  Sometimes in  the middle of  uploading a disk, we'd
lose carrier.  Other times, when we  would log back on and START
to type  our handle,  we would immediately be slammed by another
NO CARRIER.
We  talked to the main  leader and spokesperson of Razor, THE
RENEGADE CHEMIST, voice, who denied the whole thing  and said we
were  just  making  up  excuses  as  usual.   He  WAS  online to
Assassins'  Guild  the entire  time  we  were  being logged off,
orchestrating the whole thing.  He  even claimed  ignorance that
there  was a  race going  on in the first place.
We suspected foul play, and  after speaking to BLACKHAWK, the
SysOp  of  Assassins' Guild, voice, we got 100% CONFIRMATION.  A
group of Razor members conference-called Blackhawk's  WIFE,  and
instructed her to drop the carrier on the nodes whenever GENESiS
people  dialed  in.  They   kept  her  doing this  until finally
GENESiS  had  to give  up trying to  upload to Assassins' Guild.
Blackhawk's  wife did not know what she was doing, in fact, they
lead her to believe  that  what she was  doing was good.  Later,
Razor tried to justify why they cheated to Blackhawk.  They lied
to him, and said it was because GENESiS was uploading fake 0byte
files.  Careful  scrutiny  by  Blackhawk of  his  BBS  log files
showed that we did no such thing.  They claimed that their files
were being skipped by the presence of ECSTATICA CD which had the
same  filename,  and  that  they  mistakenly  believed  we  were
responsible.  They  started their upload, one file at a time and
managed to post 2  BEFORE we called  The Assassin's Guild, which
proves  that this  is just  another  lie to  damage-control  the
situation.
Razor cheated.  They lied.  They damaged the reputation of  a
BBS  which I  am sure  the SysOp  took pride in, spent countless
hours  setting up and maintaining,  and  when  they were caught,
they made up excuses.
Now, can Razor get  away with this?  It's  not the first time
Razor cheated.  Razor cheated  to win the release of Lode Runner
for Windows earlier this year, when THEY uploaded fake filenames
to block  the uploads of a rival group.  Something  must be done
about their  treachery!  It's  not  the first time Razor  caused
serious  damage to Assassins' Guild  reputation as a good, fair,
quality BBS: remember  when Razor nuked the 100% cracked version
of Front Page Sports Football released by PENTAGRAM.
We are expecting something to be done about this by Blackhawk
and  we call  upon anyone in  Razor  who has  some decency to no
longer stand for this crap coming from the twisted core of their
group!
I sincerely  hope this incident, and other  countless stories
I  could  tell about  the underhanded,  deceitful, and  knieving
things  Razor  has  done  before,  will  WAKE EVERYONE UP!   The
Renegade Chemist speaks a mighty high word in his posts  on  the
boards, those  Ware Reports, and in his voice conversations with
people, and he's  gotten away  with his  bullshit  and  lies for
much, MUCH too long.

- DR. INSANITY, FANFAN LATULIPE, TAZMAN, and WERNER & TARDY
(On behalf of the entire GENESiS posse)

I  know  FANFAN LATULIPE might  sound like a broken record to
some  people, and  that his NFOs seem to go on forever.  But the
simple  fact is: he's  been speaking  the TRUTH  about  this all
along.   We do not just make statements for the appearances, but
to  get things  to change  in the  scene.  Remember three months
ago,  after  hardwork, the  scene  had  stabilized in a  heathly
spirit  of  competition.  The  rag wars  had died, and the scene
prospered.   And  then  Razor made  their comeback.  Since then,
we're  up  to our  necks in  rags and  insults,  lies, and false
accusations, etc, etc... Who the fuck do these people think they
are  to pull  this on  everybody, the entire scene?!   And since
when  does  the few  Razor leaders'  enjoyment  of  the PC scene
supercede everyone else's?!
Furthermore,  Razor  has  been  trying  to  tag us  with wild
accusations of narc'ing and busts.  The Renegade Chemist accused
us of  being  responsible  for the huge nationwide busts earlier
this year by the Secret Service and FBI and local police forces.
Now,  him and  his goons are  trying to blame  on us the alleged
busts  of some of their members and even of suppliers from other
groups.  All I can say is  that we never had anything to do with
these  kinds of  practices, and never will.   However, Razor did
not limit themselves to only  accusing us  of these  things with
no proof whatsoever,  they also promised unwarranted retaliation
against us!   And  a couple days after  their threat, an attempt
was  made  already  on  one of our suppliers.  To bring ridicule
on  top of  insult, they deny everything while at the same  time
renewing their threats.
Fanfan always  said in our NFOs: we will not sell our soul to
the devil for a release.  Many have asked me,  what kind of dumb
antics  is that  and what does it all mean.   Well, there ya go:
It means we will never act like Razor.

DR. INSANITY / GENESiS

Is  it  just  me, or  can  anyone  else picture this: a group of
kiddies on  the phone  to Blackhawk's  wife:  "Yes,  yes, oh Dr.
Insanity  is logging  on?   Turn  off  that  modem!  What Tazman
just  called,  disconnect  that line!   Good  job,  you're doing
wonderful.   Those  guys  are  meanies   trying to destroy  your
husband's  computer!  Oh  no, its Fanfan.  He's a faggot!   Hang
up his node!"   Geez...  I  find this scenario just a little too
humerous! :) :)
