Dang, could not edit my comment.
Wanted to say that if the game coder wants to train their game that is fine by me.
E$G + HF: ignore the whiners and keep doing nice releases, if you want, add a HF intro, will make it clearer for some, if not: that's fine, you make the decision :D
Oh, and when you catch up with Adam for a beer, make sure to look me up as well! :D

Agree with Didi, I do not recognise this as a HF crack due to no intro or tagging in place. Otherwise, nice version. Ignore the whiners otherwise.

@Zyron you applied a logic in your answer but as one of the "fastest trainer maker", together with Didi, Faayd and few others you will agree with me that you don't need to be the game coder to easily find at glance where the code has to be changed, the free mem where to put the selection and to link an intro. The pain comes later, intro can leave some dirty bytes and trainers can drunk the code with unexpected crash. So it's not so easy as it seems and 1 is not fair. For all the groups that spend time on c64 for the scene & own satisfaction!
@Adam: a kiss back to you and a beer when I'll visit the land downunder!
@Hedning: I can read Hokuto Force in the dox as DM is a label of and since dox & trainers are not in the other version for me it's an HF effort.
I usually vote for all the scene releases, each one can see my votes. All that is hidden keep the secret on it, until rulez won't change.

Well, to me it rather feels like a deluxe-version of a game rather than a crack... or orrie with easter eggs already attached...

@Mods: If you finally decide to tag this release as Game entry, you may also do with Lala Prologue +4DG and Tenebra Macabre +4D because it's the same circumstances. Both entries are locked.

When it comes to cracks I give my votes according to the effort made. Training your own source, not even bothering to put an intro on it can hardly be seen as any effort at all. So what kind of votes did you expect to get for this anyway?

It was long ago crackers only used the SYS-line and that is not up to pair with the cracking scene of today. You know this, E$G. This release only exists to keep crackers off, and to avoid a intro in front of it, as Majikeyric hates that. Apart from that I cannot find a HF tag anywhere in the release. Not even in the SYS-line. And am I wrong guessing that the trainers are in the original as well, and just turned on here? Also: no cracker was involved in this release at all to train it. It obviously never left the hands of the game coder. I would argue releasing stuff like this is hurting the spirit of the scene (thus the votes I guess), but you already know where I stand. Zyron is right: this one should be classified as C64 Game as the game coder only made another build of it with trainers included.

This is not just the game but a trained version. Rulez set a crack just for a sys line changed... 1001, 9009, 1337, 2 chars, an intro, a cracked by ABC in the main game page. We don't waste our time to claim a 1st that can't be, rulez are always changed. So enjoy & play if you like it, but downvoting 1 is killing the scene and minimize the voter's intelligence, usually a secret vote. Beg to differ.

This is kind of silly. If you're really going to keep doing this, at least do it properly. Hand it over to one of your crackers, link an intro, release it as proper HF cracks - if that is what you want. Right now it's just a different build of the same game made by Digital Monastery.

What's wrong with this crack, fully-jeweled trained one? Does the scene wish a usual poor +2? Or it's a matter of 1st release points? Anyway admins&mods can have their amusement break. They can see who is givin' fair votes ;)

Why HF? There is no HF-intro; nothing is changed except a trainer option turned on in the code. I would say this does not qualify as a crack in the database, really. It has nothing to do with the cracking scene or warez scene.

Didi: ok, understood. So in terms of votes on this release, we’re voting for the quality of crack rather than for the quality of the game..? That’s how it would normally work. It’s a shame as i’d like to see scene games rated fairly here...

not the version competing at the RGCD C64 16KB Cartridge Game Development Competition 2019 because it's not even a cart version, Robots Rumble [16kb cartridge] is.

So this is not even a dump from crt but probably a reassembly from source?

@Raistlin: That was done dozens of time in the past as well.
But as a first release mag editor I would ignore this release as a "crack" because it has no intro linked to it and it seems to be common today that game creators train their games by themselves to spoil the fun for the "crackers" and first release hunters (e.g. Knight Lore, etc.). Add a HF intro and I would accept it as a "crack release" and firstie. This way it is just an extended version of the cartridge release, which adds what did not fit into the size limit.

Wait... cracking your own game? Such skullduggery might even make Onslaught look like proper crackers ;-) |

Well done Majikeyric!
Nice work. All he is doing is uploading a trained game he has made. Big deal.
Question: who is changing the labeling? That seems to be causing the drama? Are the entries locked so the mods are changing the labeling?

My 3.14159... cent:
CSDb is a database to reflect and preserve released productions.
The creator of a release can label it like he wants to.
But the mod's can change it to usual conventions. The additional informations like name and release type etc. are useful for all of us.
Be kind and let us have a funny time together. This is my most important target! |

As GP doesn't respect my work and thinkings this one will certainly not be released : Full Contact Intro at Gubbdata.
Enjoy anyway! |

We respect your work a lot. Really great stuff. And I believe you are credited in the Bad Taste imports? I think I read that.
I think the problem here is that somehow people are evil idiots if they add intros to HF stuff, while HF have no problem adding their intros to other people's work. Isn't that some kind of double standard? |

@Hedning: don't pull our leg, you have an high IQ and don't act in a blind way. GP (or better say GP faking labelS) put their hands on some games released by HF, games already released with trainers, that don't need extra work.
Released the same day with the only aim to make lose visibility to the original HF release and create mess on the scene.
That will be ridicolous for all the other groups but GP.
HF and the other groups that release a c64 game never complained if a "cracker" group added an intro or proposed a better trainer version (1st release or oldie one).
So there isn't a double standard or do you think that all sceners can't fully understand who create problems and solve it in a unfair way?
Do the scene need this or release to be pleased?
And if this is the way to respect Majikeyric code probably something didn't work. |

"With the only aim to make lose visibility to the original HF release and create mess on the scene".
Really? And releasing games with included trainers to avoid others to touch it isn't messing with the scene spirit and create mess on the scene? Especially from a group that crack games themselves en masse? I think HF want to be two things at the same time: they want to release games that noone else can touch, and if people do they are super evil scene destroyers, and also they want to be part of the cracker scene and do the exact same thing to other's work. I think the problem lies there. |
