Release id #88319 : Robin of the Wood

REQUEST DELETION.

1 Block Basic Loaders represent no release. Original ABC release untouched - no re-crack - double upload - local lamer print line additions to show they owned a c64. What else you need?

This disk simply shows that there were three people knowing each other and making up a gang name and one of them was able to understand the c64 manual.

We all started _somehow_. Releases however imply some work was done, some effort was put into it.

...and I even wrote large parts of the manual so you better run for cover when there are complaints about it!

seriously, a basic line requires zero effort. there is nothing to judge about it.

...seriously,i could care less about if it took alot of effort for some and none for others....was that really the issue?...i was mearly asking if count zero would be the judge of what is ok and what is not.....he seems to be moderating what stays and what does not so it was just a fair question......

I'd love to be able to. As you may figure sooner or later I am usually just looking at cracking related things and the few other fields I am interested in. I wouldn't check a basic tune for it's uniqueness e.g. :)

The main problem is that people here dig up so much incredibly awkward, unrelated, badly named, not working and incomplete stuff and just upload it - many without checking existing releases as well - there is hardly any hope left.
When stumbling upon such I simply take the chance to yet again flame upload whores and blame people for not knowing what they are doing. Simple as that.

There are virtually hundreds of _games_ still missing here - making a multiple of that in releases. Thats a different story though. Those are for sure more welcome as uploads than stand alone ripped intros, notes to xyz or _imho_ standalone docs.

I suppose it's all moot now. Someone took it upon themselves to delete the entry. :p

A bit late, but just my 0.2$:
This looked to me like one of those groups that "imported" cracks into their country (or atleast liked to pretend they were the first in the country to get it), even if the original release was from another european country. There are other releases like this in CSDb where people have linked an intro (ok, intro and not just some basic stuff), and "released" it.
IMHO this should be included, it was a part of the scene, however lame some people might think it is, this was how things were back in the late '80s.

...indeed..i have edited so many errors in this database lately...and this problem with ppl uploading whole disksides(with 5-6 different)releases as 1 entry at the time is annoying to say at least....

....if you upload alot your self you are entitled to do that....the problem with this database is that it is full of registred crybabies that provide jack shit to the site but lives on judging others mistakes only....and make sure i do not point at you personally....this is for this database generally..

i find people who rip apart spread disks (and often mess up the entire thing in the process) far more annoying to be honest.

not really. noone except you even bothered to keep such crap, let alone upload it =)

because you damn well know the answer already. also self regulation worked quite well this time (for a change)

but indeed, it looks (again) as if common sense doesnt work for everyone and we need yet another rule. we'll see.
