Research

In TPS #3, he assessed the situation on the scene during the summer of 1990. INC is number one on the IBM PC gaming scene in terms of the number of releases released. THG has the biggest drive with one-day distribution of new warez on their sites. Public Enemy have built a reputation on the scene since early 1989 for focusing on non-English releases, but with late translations. Distribution stands and falls on the courier Dragon Lord. New York Crackers have had mixed success with their releases. Their strong point is that they are considered by many to be the best cracker on the scene, Mad Scientist.1

After one month, he was kicked out of PE, which he didn’t take very well and before he could sing the praises of distribution, he completely turned his back on it.2
