Release id #139885 : Captain Dynamo +11D [crazy hack]

i wonder what exactly constitutes a "crazy hack" and why releases that appear to be regular cracks (according to csdb terms of course) - with the only exception that they dont seem to follow certain "scene rules" (which mind you, are not, and never have been, relevant for csdb) are tagged as such. if i start calling my release "awesome hack" in my intros, will they get tagged as such too? :)

I think the "+XY" tag with a high enough no. makes the point of "crazy" overtraining clear enough :)
Super G-Man +52D [crazy hack] (record if I'm not mistaken)

PS/Edit: And yeah, it's been done before
Vixen +6HD
Not that 6 is very high no. but changing hair color does not really give you any advantage, at least not in this game ;)

well that crazy hack stuff belongs to the lemon forum,
besides that I don't see any scene-releation to that hackersoft stuff, I get grey hair from those double-tripple-quadruple cheating with even more silly options.
It might be a great hobby to do such stuff but for me it is not the right place to keep this stuff.

@ryk:
well, it is arguable if wanderer releases count as scenereleases, but at least he just counts 6 trainers and the hairdo is an extra for free :-D

certainly not. they might be lame, but that doesnt matter at all. if it would, then a lot of the crap released today wouldnt be counted either - which is precisely the reason for the hackersoft stuff being here too.

Just look around at some of the newer releases to find out who invented the tag. The usage of this tag just started earlier this year IIRC. I just pulled it through to the older ones as none of the mods changed it for some time even the release was in the latest releases list.

To define what is scene related you need to define what is/was "the scene" today and in the past. IMO the meaning has changed in some way from an elite circle in the past to the few leftovers caring about C64 today.

If you were still an official Mod and therefore responsible for holding up the standards, maybe.
