PRESTIGE PROUDLY PRESENTS:

NBA Live '97 - Halftime Fix
from EA Sports

Stripped By:  Prestige USA         │  Operating System:  Windows '95
Supplied By:  Prestige USA         │   Protection Type:  None Located
Packaged By:  Prestige USA         │      Release Date:  06 December '96

Ripped:  Movies/Speech/Music  │    Installed Size:  150 Megabytes

Earlier today, you might have downloaded the PSG release of NBA Live '97
from EA Sports.  You might have been one of the people who experienced a
problem during halftime; if so, you'll need this small fix. We apologize
for anyone who may have experienced this problem, but we do think you'll
agree - a 200k fix is much better than a 54 disk dupe.

Please note that this fix is not necessary if you were one of the few
who were able to grab the Razor 1911 version before it was nuked on most
sites.  If both versions are available to you, you can save about 20
disks worth of files by grabbing the PSG version.  Both games install to
the same size, and contain the critical game data.  The 20 additional
disks that Razor included are primarily picutres of your favorite home
cities and courts.  If you feel that you really need that stuff to play,
I guess that's up to you.  We prefer to get you the smallest working
version, and allow you to complement the release yourself by putting out
add-ons under another label.  In that, our philosophy differs from that
of Razor; we don't pad our releases just for the sake of having a large
game that looks like it has something more, or is something better.  If
you download a Prestige release, 9 times out of 10 you can rest assured
that it doesn't contain a lot of files you don't really need to play the
game.  You can also be sure that if there ARE any files that would truly
enhance the gameplay, and we ripped them out, or replaced them or what-
ever, that you will be able to grab them SEPARATELY, in the form of an
add-on.  That's the first and last time we'll lower ourselves to discuss
something this obvious, so make sure you understand it perfectly.

* GREETS:  RAZOR - Silly to break the disk limit for a problem that only
necessitated a 200k fix.  Its pretty obvious just who
is "wasting space."

*   NEWS:  Welcome Faceless, formerly of Razor 1911, to Prestige!

Installation Instructions:

This fix will work, whether or not you've already installed the game.
Incidentally, we're not sure why the Razor crew said that the PSG copy
only runs in Windows '95 - it runs GREAT under DOS.

1.  Unzip NBA97FIX.ZIP into the root directory of the drive you've run
a SUBST on (refer to the instructions included in the release).

2.  Change to the root directory on your SUBSTed drive.  Run the batch
file CHEERBG.BAT to copy over the cheerleader files you'll need to
fix the game.  Play the game as you normally would, and have fun!

SO, YOU WANNA BE A PRESTIGE COURIER, HUH?

Prestige is always interested in acquiring talented new couriers to
bolster our ranks.  We're looking for both internet traders and bbs
traders to preserve the heritage of the scene.  If you believe that
you have what it takes to be a Prestige Courier, send us e-mail or
contact us on one of our boards.  We are especially interested in
top TELNET traders to complement our existing staff.

SO, YOU WANNA BE A PRESTIGE MEMBER, HUH?

Prestige is also interested in you if you want to help the group,
but may not necessarily be interested in a courier position.  There
are openings in Prestige for people with the following traits and/or
abilities:

* If you work for a company that is connected in any way with the
games distribution process (store, distributor, duplicator, even
publisher) please give us a ring today.

* If you work for a company that produces or distributes hardware
and can help supply the group with free hardware, please get in
touch with us.

* If you have professional experience in the 'internet business',
such as web-authoring, or run an internet providership, please
let us know that you can help the group become more successful.

* If you are a member in another group and are unhappy with your
current situation, Prestige may be the right option for you, so
don't hesitate to get in touch with a Senior Member.

SO, YOU WANNA BE A PRESTIGE DIST SITE, HUH?

So, you've got a pretty good board, but you don't know how to make
the jump to a quality elite system.  Prestige can help you, if you
can help Prestige in return.  Dist Sites are supported by Prestige
Couriers, and are a fully functional part of the group.  If you are
unable to contribute to the group's success, don't even waste your
time trying to get connected with PSG.

If your board is already of elite quality, multi-node, and offers
inbound internet access via telnet, you may be eligible for PSG
Member Board or even Headquarters status!  Contact a Prestige Senior
Member for more information on these exciting opportunities for you
and the group.
