  I encountered the bug with CAS missions that somebody amongst us mentioned
earlier. The cause of the bug is by the time our F-16s reach the target area,
the enemy ground forces have been obliterated and hopefully the friendly
ground forces received minimal damage. This bug is carried over from 3.0D.
  The solution is, as I mentioned before, to wander to the nearest enemy
ground installation and S&D the enemy ground forces. RTB without any ground
kills will fail the mission.

There has been a lot of concern about my posting of 16344. I didn't fully 
explain my intentions. I did not fully explain what I was looking for. I 
thought keeping it short would best explain. I'm restating about where I
can find hacked or cracked games...what I meant was that I was looking for
games that I already brought. That have been cracked from passwords.. For
example... B-17. I'm tired of having to look at the book every time I play.
Or Lemmings2, I'm also tired of having to look at the codes also. It's 
annoying. What my friend told me, I was mis-understood... I thought that the
games he had were pirated..he didn't fully show me the whole game, in which
I assumed that it was pirated or whatever. But he then told me that it was
an shareware.... which I was actually looking for in the first place. I was
looking for sharewares where I can get an taste of part of some games to get
the main idea...before I buy it, and the game itself terminates telling me to
buy the whole program. Thats' what I was originally looking for. I'm terribly
sorry for all these confusions in thinking that there are pirated disks out 
there running around.. And would apreciate people stop asking me to send them
some if "I happen to recieve any". I'm sorry to say, but that is not my 
intentions in the future. Thanks.

Hi.  I'm thinking about buying OOTW, but am wondering if it has some
wild copy protection scheme.  I bought the Stealth Affair game a few
years back and after staring at multi-color pictures trying to satsify
the crazy copy protection scheme, I swore never to by another game by
Interplay again.  OOTW sounds pretty cool, though, so please e-mail or
post if OOTW has protection, and if so, what kind.

--Eushuk

Thanks to SH's Falcon 3.0 and AOTP, which are great games with NO copy
protection.  Believe me, after spending $50 a pop, I'm not about to go
out and spread the games around.  I really respect the trust that the
makes of these games put in the buyer, and intend to uphold that trust.

Hi Gameplayers,

I just purchased Hardball III and the game is great! The speech is a little
"broken-up", but still quite understandable.
I was wondering if anyone knew of an FTP site where I could find some data
files to be used with HB3? Anyone know where I can find data files for 
actual teams of 1992 or even 1991? Is anything else available out there such
as patches, unprotects, utilities?
If you have something which is not available at an FTP site, could you send
me a copy?

Thanks in advance!!!

THIS DOES NOT MAKE US HAPPY!

Please avoid this hacked version like the plague.  Please delete it (or

"shooting the hell out of it" involves holding down the fire button until
you get a decent change on the gun.  Not a shield size charge, bigger.

In case you already knew this, try to conserve charge earlier.  At this
stage, I've only toasted one guy (the one below), and merely shielded against
the others.

Hope this helps.

But you didn't go and try to *buy* it, did you?  Nor do you know anyone
who actually did buy it, right?  :-)  I think you're a victim of marketing...

They do it because when the catalogue goes to press, they have to assume that
the company is telling the truth about the release date.  At the time, they
were told this date.  Sort of a sleazy way to get free advertising.

I just started to read this group and I am seeing messages of demo programs
for games on ftp sites.  I have a PC and I'm interested in these ftp sites. 
Could someone please send me an e-mail on these sites.  Thanks.
