Handle id #34129 : Catania Soft Cracked

highly doubtful stuff...

actually a nightmare considering the aim of CSDb

especially when it comes to release dates from the 1980s crunched with hardware from the 1990s or even cross development tools from the 2000s... /o\

for what I care, delete everything, nobody cares about these shameful fakes/recracks.

At least tell the uploader (who apparently is the cracker - and got an account too) to change the release dates to what they actually are, if its really true what TheRyk said :) Perhaps he just doesn't understand that "release date" does not refer to the release date of the game (which is a problem for many afterall).

To add insult to injury, checked but one release, and it appears to be a cartridge freeze. =D

Yeah, me and Fred already left some comments on some releases like Tai Chi Tortoise
At some point I stopped caring to check, to me it's all bullshit that belongs to the trashcan, despite this site it's for preserving all scene releases, these can be an exception, but of course it's not up to me to decide.

Just to make that clear, this is not about quality or even the question if freeze crack stuff belongs here, I'm more alarmed because of random or fake release dates of entries, for this is faking scene history and thus, the opposite of what this site is dedicated to - preserving history.

If it wasn't for iAN and Fred, all these releases would still be archived with wrong release date:

Tai Chi Tortoise
1943 The Battle Of Midway
Attacco F104 [italian]
Black Tiger
Football Manager [italian]
Frogger 64
Genesis
Ghostbusters
Gilligan's Gold
Gold Fever
Impossible Mission
Into the Eagle's Nest
Iper Flipper [italian]
Mr. Mephisto
Pengo
Pitstop II
World Cup Football
The Mystery of Munroe Manor
The Dungeons
Stellar Dodger
Saloon [italian]
Quari

Quite some list!

So user ssc has been contacted, tried to explain the difference between original game release and crack release date, told to leave it empty when unsure (as iAN and Fred tried to tell him several times already).

Let's hope for the best.
If any of you spot existing CSC release entries with wrong date, just report them here or correct them.

If user "ssc" adds any new entries with wrong dates, pease contact any moderator.

The spam continues, freezed Blue Max and Arabian nights. What is the purpose of this anyway as they are clearly newly "produced"?!

Maybe you should direct your complains towards Catania Soft Cracked directly? There is a PM function available. ;) One could also always make an anti-demo or form a "We against..." group? Just trying to help.

Doesnt the quality also depend on the freezer being used?

You can always go lower than current "lamer groups" anyhow. They are WAY too evolved.

I only find it kinda fishy how many of these are suddenly "found" _without_date_ after iAN and Fred identified 2 dozen wrongly dated and warnings were made here. Tons of "their" releases are now released "???", and this thread states clearly enough we're not dealing with a just discovered veteran top-group from the 1980s but rather some at least doubtful and not very skillful loner whose stuff did not show up before Covid-19.

But as long as no one tells me an exomized crack was made in 1990 or a RR-freezed one in 1983, we can't do anything about it - apart from calling a duck a duck and freeze cracks lame (or of course launch some anti-campaing or do some Voodoo or bloody rituals as already suggested hehe).
