Miscellaneous

"Diary of a Triangle crack"

"Remember those Diary-of-a-game features in Zzap64, Commodore Force and those other great magazines of yesteryear? I always thought "Wouldn't it be cool if someone did a diary of a crack for a change?". Of course, nobody ever did. Back in December of 1990 I decided to do something about it and write one myself."

Gamers Guide, Issue #06

The Triad diskmag "Gamers Guide" often featured Triangle Cracks, and I was thrilled to see this bit of text in the 6th issue.

What's the big deal?
   Triangle were founded in 1987, and are today remembered as the cream of the C64 demoscene. Together with Upfront and Bones, they were the hardcore programmers of their time. What may be unknown to many, is that Triangle also did quite a job on the cracking scene. Quite a few of the original members originated from DCC ("They make 'em - we break 'em!")^[1]. Triangle released their last crack in late 1992.

What is online?
   In short, every single file ever produced by Triangle. The complete history of Triangle, aswell as information on the membmers. Everything you want to know, actually. And, to top it all, an impressive collection of photos and screenshots from their intros. You might even find you hadn't seen before.

What's the conclusion?
   Why are you reading this? Go there - NOW!

[1] It is true that a fair number of Trianglers were previous members of DCC (Danish Cracking Crew). However, the "They make 'em - we break 'em!" slogan does not have anything to do with DCC. It was the trademark of the legendary Danish group "Danish Crackers" (or DC for short).
Sun Dancer later explained that the two almost identical names had him puzzled. :)
