We’ve been hard at work during christmas and put out a streak of releases for your enjoyment!

First out was the very promising preview of Chiller 2, distributed to subscribers via Freeze64 magazine. Complete with a new crackinto by Maxlide. Since it was released on christmas eve we even made a departure from tradition regarding the design on the intro, utilizing a PETSCII that Shine created for us a while back.

The game itself is of course an inofficial sequel to the old Mastertronic hit Chiller, which many of us played from budget tape back when we were kids.

Another game from Freeze64, naturally named Freeze64, was also released. The christmas theme is strong in this one, with you taking control of Santa and his reindeer and attempt to deliver gifts despite harsh conditions

Yet another title from Santas sack of goodies made it out on christmas eve, as we give you Brain Death – a GTW puzzler that was almost lost forever!

Supplied by Nith, while linked, bugfixed and trained by Sailor. NTSC fix conducted by Maxlide while Taper, El Topo and TDM did a whole lot of puzzle playing to ensure stability. Also worth to mention is that this title is fixed to work on C128, where the original totally bombed.

Hopefully you also noticed the new christmas intro, Christmas Reforged, from
us that we used for this crack! Based on the
old classic TRIAD christmas crackintro, but

updated for future generations by Icon and Twoflower, with a new christmas medly tune from TDM!

The game itself is a tricky puzzler with no less than 120 levels to solve, so that will hopefully keep you well occupied while enjoying your christmas holiday.

And, not to forget, we also managed to update this site again, after more than a year of slacking!

Yes, we should be ashamed of ourselves – it has been more or less a year since we last updated this site! But, better late than never, so here it goes…

During 2019 we landed several new recruits to our ranks; Maxlide, Raphis, wbochar and El Topo all came onboard the mummyship and reinforced us greatly.

Release-wise, 2019 has been another good year for us with more than 50 productions of different flavours released! They are too many to mention them all, but here are a few goodie-tips from 2019 you shouldn’t miss:

Artsie people will love this “hemnet”-killer, Stolen Properties – concieved by iopop, Twoflower, TDM and bepp!

Again for the artsy people we recommend DUBCRT +3D – a commercial music album and game in one! No need to spend money on LSD when you have this! Cracked by Maxlide, supplied by Cash and docs by bepp!

Another crack by Maxlide, Run Demon Run +1D is an excellent game, coupled with a smashing crackintro by Powerslave, Twoflower and TDM!

For the PETSCII connoisseur we point to Fat Albert, a smaller demo made by Powerslave, Skyhawk and TDM!

This list of tips would not be complete without one of the great games Antonio Savona made during the year. Chopper Command +3D blows the original Atari 2600 game out of the sky and we trained it and provided docs for your entertainment. Handled by Maxlide, TDM and Cash!

Interested in history? Then you should check out the three educational MR T games, like MR T’s Money Box complete with full extensive documentation. Handled by Sailor, Taper and Cash!

There has been no lack of games this year, so Trogue64 +5H is another one you can’t miss! Coded by the new TRIAD member wbochar (but before he became a member), while TDM supplied and Sailor did the cracking!

If you like healthy food, we must recommend Vegetables Deluxe V1.0 +1D, cracked and trained by Lynx in a flash!

Powerslave and TDM provided us with a smashing 4K intro for the CSDB intro compo, entitled No More Grey Dots! A must see of course!

A bigger intro from Nith was also offered recently, entitled Mesmerizer, also containing music by TDM and a font by Twoflower.

More legal productions with Arne Alligator, a PETSCII feast for your kids perhaps? Featuring Arne by Skyhawk, the smashing theme song covered by TDM and code by Powerslave!

Then we are back to games… an unknown Infocom title was made to run on the breadbin, so if you are into text adventures, you must try out Hypochondriac! Complete with walkthrough this one was taken care of by Twoflower and Maxlide, with invaluable help from Fredrikr!

Of course, there has been more! Check out Releases for everything we have done during 2019!

Since we’ve been lazy with updates on this page again, here we go with a mega-update, mainly focusing on what happened during the last 7 months.

TRIAD ended 2017 with a bunch of cracks being released.  The sales-version of Slipstream was handled together with our friends in G*P in late November.

A month later and we did what few thought was possible to pull off (especially in such a short time-frame) and presented a disk-version of the cartridge game LuftRauserZ with two trainers. Even cooler is the fact that the game doesn’t suffer from being run from disk, so no wonder this became a publicly acclaimed release. Sailor did the cracking while Lynx supplied the original.

The traditional christmas release was next in line and on the 24:th of December we released Megatanoi Preview V2 +D, a game with a special story where Sailor had dug up new unseen material from unknown development disks.

Another win in December was the recruitment of old Tronix-coder Powerslave, who joined up with the mummyship!

In the very beginning of 2018 TRIAD also presented the definite version of the totally asskicking game Sam’s Journey. With no less than 9 trainers and complete with documentation, this version blows all other cracks out of the water. A whole range of members helped out with this game including Taper, MtnBuffalo, Lynx and Powerslave, but the hard work was once again done by Sailor.

Sadly, we also lost one of our graphicians in early 2018 when Vent decided to join up with his old buddies in Extend instead. We wish him a good stay in his new group, while being glad for all the neat contributions he has done for TRIAD during the years.

In March, a delegation from TRIAD attended Fjälldata in the very north of Sweden. Icon, iopop and Twoflower partied in the snow, and Twoflower came in on second place in the graphics compo with his Kim. A remote music entry, 15 years of friendship, from Dalezy, who had teamed up with Qdor for the occasion, was also released and ended up on third place in the music compo.

Also in March, a small one-file demo, What’s going on?, competed in the He-Man Jr. competition at CSDB. Coded by Icon with graphics from Ilesj and music by Fegolhuzz/Panda Design it was one of the best contributions attending the compo. Before the month was over, petscii artist and trader Skyhawk left Laxity and joined up with us, and a small v2 preview called Bewitched  was also released.

Then in April, Attitude #18 was released, this time in coop with our friends in Genesis Project. With an intro coded by Powerslave and yet some mag-engine improvements by DJ.Gruby, issue #18 is filled to the brim with essential reads from a whole range of editors, including Taper, DJ.Gruby and MtnBuffalo, Hedning, Dr.Strange and Pad. The issue also contain a bunch of great soundtracks by Dalezy, Con, ne7, Fegolhuzz, 6R6, Jammer, MCH, TDM and Zardax.

In the end of April, a three-screen petscii entitled Reflections was released, with art by Skyhawk, code by Powerslave and music by Dalezy.

May was a slow month without any releases from us, but in June we released the 101% and +6 trained version of the cool claustrophobic Alien-esque game Organism from Psytronik, thus claiming the firstrelease. With a trainer working against the alien-queen, and a bug in the original also affecting the queen fixed, this is the version of the game you want to play! The original was supplied by Romppainen and Sailor conquered the xenomorphed code.

Over and out, see you in the second half of 2018!

Zodiac Vitro for the Vic20

Although rare, TRIAD have made appearances on other platforms now and then during the years. Long gone is the steady Amiga section, but we’ve released a few goods on GBC, Amiga and PC-based C64 tools since then.

Abaddon and Bepp

At the Zoo party in Finland, we contributed with the VIC20 demo Zodiac Vitro. Made for a stock machine without memory expansion, it was coded by Tao with music from Dalezy. Some serious shoe-horning was done here to make it all fit into the miniscule 5KB 2114 SRAM that the good old VIC offers!

Talking about Zoo, members present at the party were Vent, Ilesj, Romppainen, bepp, Tao and Cash. Also former member Abaddon showed up.

Road to TRSAC

Also in October, at TRSAC 2017, we teamed up with Genesis Project and Digital Demolition Krew and released a neat Nintendo 8-bit production entitled Road to TRSAC, where Dalezy was responsible for the music.

It ended up on third place in the oldschool demo compo!
