PROTECTION │ Doc Check
GRAPHICS   │ 256 Color VGA
SOUND      │ All

What can I say but this game is great?  All football fans should grab it.
It has great 256 color graphics and nice sound.  And its from Dynamix, a
company known for its production of quality wares.  That's all I've got
to say about the game ITSELF.

Installation can be done from a subst.  After installing run the FBCRACK.COM
so you can pass the protection ..

As for the bullshit concerning the release, well that's a different story
altogether.

I got this game in the morning, and called Onyx with it as soon as he was
available, thinking this would be the typical EASY Dynamix protection.  A
few hours later, Onyx was nearly finished with the crack, and I noticed a
user on Mirage uploading FPFPPTG4.ZIP.  I thought we had been beaten fair
and square, but then when I called the user uploading the file, he told
me that he got it from Elusive, and Bandieto was the guy who uploaded the
game to Elusive - WITHOUT disk one.  I had Onyx check on the Pentagram
WHQ, Ice Station Zebra, because they deleted my account there, PROBABLY
so that I couldn't call and send up a possible Razor version of this
very game.  In any case, only the last 3 disks were available on ISZ as
well.

We concluded that PentaLAME had released only the last 3 disks of the game
while they worked on cracking it - this ploy was intended to throw off the
other groups like Razor 1911 that might be working on the game, to prevent
us from releasing it, so later on PTG could cry 'double release' if & when
a Razor 1911 version came out.  We were about to release the game, and an
important discovery was made - the game would take more time than Onyx had
to crack.  So we shipped the original off to poor Randall Flagg, who was
trying to fuck in peace his girlfriend. Took him 5 minutes to crack it and
our release was ready to go.

So, almost 4 hours after Pentagram 'released' Front Page Sports Football
Pro, their first disk still not available, it took Razor 1911 to save the
day and release a working version (including the first disk).  Had PTG
simply released the game uncracked, only a crack patch from Razor would
be necessary.  But its a pain in the ass for users to have to mix and
match file names, so instead of just releasing disk 1, the whole version
was cracked and put out by Razor 1911.  To guard against the idea that
PTG or some other group might release an uncracked disk 1, we went ahead
and also released a separate crack zipfile that is not necessary to those
of you playing off of the Razor 1911 version.  As always, our copy is
100% cracked and 100% playable, and 100% complete.  PTG will try to rag
on us for releasing the full version - but they have no credibility at
this point.  I had hoped that any new group would try to base itself in
the traditional honor that a cracking group should strive to uphold -
there are unwritten rules of conduct.  Not releasing games uncracked, or
just releasing part of a game to try and garner some time by fooling the
other groups are some of these unwritten rules.  PTG plays dirty, its
just that simple.  As I said, Razor 1911 could have done the same thing
they did, 3 or 4 hours earlier - but who would gain from only 3 disks of
a release that requires 4, or even a full version, made unplayable by a
copy protection?

I hope that I have expressed clearly the events that transpired about
this release.  And I know there will be those who bitch about my point
of view in expressing these arguments.  But in any case, Pentagram is
not a group to be concerned with, not a group to worry about.  From
what has been done by them with the only 2 non-windows games they put
out (Lands of Lore the other title, the SAME thing was done, but that
time only an independant guy who uploaded the game a full day before
PTG released it was hurt, and so nobody heard about it) it can be seen
that PTG is nothing but what UNT, and PE on a lesser scale, were - a
pack of lamers who will do anything for attention, and anything for
the fame they claim they don't care about.  PTG members do not deserve
the time of day, access on any decent boards or even to call out.  The
members of this pathetic group belong somewhere where they will learn
a little respect and a sense of fair play.  Since PTG started, they
have been nothing but cheats and rumormongers - and any members of the
group who do not deserve those titles should get out NOW, before ALL
realize just how low these ingrates are.

In any case, I've pretty much had it with PTG, but its not just them
that make the scene less fun for everyone.  Almost all of the groups have
been guilty of doing something like what happened today at one time or
another, or sometimes even worse transgressions against the respect that
should hold this scene together with honor even through the rag wars and
mistakes.  We are all competitors here - and whether we like each other
or not, whether we rag on each other publicly or not, we must treat each
other with the respect we are due as it pertains to the groups.  Someone
who will double release, or steal a crack, or stab someone in the back in
order to gain does not belong in OUR scene - although I can't expect to
be rid of all who play the game that way, if we all try we can cut them
down to the point where their influence is close to nothing.  The scene
used to be a place where groups warred, fought, lied and cheated each
other - but certain rules have always been observed.  The sooner we get
back to those rules, and start behaving like respectable groups again,
the sooner abortions like Pentagram won't be allowed or tolerated to
exist.
