 │ RELEASE NOTES │
 │────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────│
 │ │
 │ Prestige is back to strike fear into the hearts of men with our second │
 │ major release of the day. This time it's a nice little arcade action │
 │ title from Acclaim, makers of hit action titles like DragonHeart and │
 │ NBA Jam. This one's really nothing special, but its only 9 disks, and │
 │ well worth the d/l at that. Enjoy... │
 │ │
 │ ... And just in case you're not interested in this kind of action, grab │
 │ US Navy Fighters '97, cracked this morning by your buds at Prestige! │
 │ │
 │ * NOTES : Install using the latest version of the Prestige Installer, │
 │ INSTPSG.EXE. │
 │ │
 │ * RIPPED : Nothing. Its the full CD, baby! │
 │ │
 │────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────│
 │ │
 │ * Thanks to the Bastard for another sweet original supply. │
 │ │
 │ * Prestige rolls into November '96, with our 7th release in 5 days. Is │
 │ the record safe? Who knows ... │
 │ │
 │────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────│
 │ │
 │ * GREETS : BACKLASH, LND, SODOM, ILLUSION, HYBRID │
 │ │
 │ RAZOR - Pretty lame to try to use an Old Dirty Paki to put │
 │ out blatant betas that are no more than shadows of │
 │ the final versions. It's funny, but even though you │
 │ lie, cheat, steal, and threaten to bust our members │
 │ (ie Karrade), you still get what's coming to you, │
 │ every single month. Enjoy the rest of the month, │
 │ that is, if its possible to enjoy clenching your │
 │ teeth and white-knuckling it into December. Later │
 │ guys ... │
 │ │
 │ HBD - The group that keeps on ticking through thick and │
 │ thin. 'nuff respect, guys. │

 │ PRESTIGE NEWS │
 │────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────│
 │ │
 │ * Due to huge amounts of feedback regarding the Prestige Courier Pos- │
 │ itions, we have to close our doors to all new applicants for the time │
 │ being. Thanks to all who showed interest, we didn't know we had such │
 │ a huge fan base guys! You make it all worthwhile .. │
 │ │
 │ * Welcome Karrade, formerly of Razor 1911, to Prestige! │
 │ │
 │ * Contrary to what the liars in Razor would like you to believe, ODB │
 │ and Prophet have not left Prestige for Razor. Because the recent │
 │ Acclaim releases from Razor 1911 were beta releases, we speculate │
 │ that the senior members of Razor were just trying to pass the blame │
 │ on to someone other than themselves, much as JDA was used as the │
 │ scapegoat some time ago when Razor put out a beta of Gene Wars. │
 │ That's right, the Acclaim releases from Razor were betas. Expect │
 │ to see the final versions from Prestige very soon. │
