Perry Rhodan is one of the world's most prolific science-fiction adventurers,
a German creation first published in 1961!
For nearly 3000 years the astronaut Perry Rhodan, who has become immortal
through a cell activator, has controlled the fate of his people, when
suddenly an explosion shakes the centre of the Terranian Power. During this
explosion Perry Rhodan's immediate confidante Mondra is kidnapped by
extraterrestrial combat robots. Alone he tries to find the true reasons for
the irruption as well as the manipulators behind the conspiracy. During his
search he discovers recordings about the myth of a thought to be dead,
extraterrestrial race that had enslaved humanity a long, long time ago û the
Illochim. With bravery, cleverness and brilliant investigation, he manages to
light up the darkness.
His untiring search leads him to many foreign races across the galaxy, away
from his mother planet Terra to the subterranean colonies of the planet Gom
Callaedus in undiscovered enemy territory. While fighting with organ traders
and exiled criminals the secret behind the dangerous incidents is finally
solved: the truth about the awakened, life-threatening danger for the
residents of the Milky Way is lying buried on the far away moon Betha.
Perry Rhodan Features:
* Cinematic Gameplay - More than 120 movie-like scenes and more than 50
fully animated real-time characters with facial expression and lip-sync
voiceovers. Each picture is brought to life through countless,
real-time effect animations.
* Special Effects - All appearing 3D objects are fully enlightened by
numerous light sources that make the scenes appear absolutely
movie-like.
* Breathtaking Design - The high performance engine allows the handling
of trick techniques that are also used for large movie productions.
Proper note:

Hey guys, time to clear up some mystery...today we present Vitality's oath of
disclosure. ;)
Quote from Perry.Rhodan.PROPER-ViTALiTY: "We have to ruin our nfo because
some retard group in disguise released this..."
Well, they ruined their nfo themselves, let's go for their reputation
then...;)
The "retarded group in disguise" is obviously Razor1911.
As we don't have any german subgroup and we decided that this game was still
worthy of a release, we put it out by the dummy name of "REDHERRING"
(Perry.Rhodan.GERMAN-REDHERRING).
Need proof?
Have a close look at the CRC32 value at offset 0x8C of the cracked exe
included with either Perry.Rhodan.GERMAN-REDHERRING or
Perry.Rhodan.CRACKFiX.GERMAN-REDHERRING.
Quote continues: "... with the german download exe used for crack."
First of all, with minimum research on their part they could've known that no
such thing as a "german download exe" which could aid in cracking the
Solidshield part of the protection even exists. As of today the only
available ones are protected exactly the same way as the boxed retail
edition. So there's simply no way we could've used such kind of binary for
our cracks. Period.
Secondly, anyone with a little knowledge of how modern compilers generate x86
binary code should've seen at a glance that our rebuilt code hasn't been
generated by MSVC (which was used for compiling the original exe). However,
this neither kept Vitality from ripping (i.e. STEALING) all the code
generated by our tools from Perry.Rhodan.CRACKFiX.GERMAN-REDHERRING nor -
which is even funnier - did it keep Deep Silver from declaring our code a rip
from an early beta of the game (maybe we should think about deliberately
degrading our cracks' quality for making them recognizable as such...;)).
Unluckily for vitality we embedded a wide range of watermarks in order to
identify possible crack stealers.
Here's just one example for those who need proof :
Perry.Rhodan.CRACKFiX.GERMAN-REDHERRING:
.text:004319DA                 push    12h             ; char
.text:004319DC                 push    4               ; int
.text:004319DE                 call    sub_401330
.text:004319E3                 int     3               ; Trap to Debugger

Perry.Rhodan.PROPER-ViTALiTY:
vitality:00810ACB              push    12h             ; char
vitality:00810ACD              push    4               ; int
vitality:00810ACF              call    sub_401330
vitality:00810AD4              int     3               ; Trap to Debugger

Original code executed within the Solidshield VM:
.text:0065A5C7                 push    12h             ; char
.text:0065A5C9                 push    4               ; int
.text:0065A5CB                 call    sub_401330
.text:0065A5D0                 add     esp, 18h

There are dozens of others (like e.g. removed redundant code, modified
instruction order et. al., all of which still give functionally equivalent
code) but those are for you to find out...;)
Finally, as a result of not being able to rebuild the Solidshield VM code on
their own (and obviously not even being able to deal with standard STDCALL
argument passing) they had to include a messy workaround (for some code they
couldn't simply cut & paste from our german exe, 0x62E1F0) which is likely to
cause memory leaks and/or random crashes sooner or later. Not experiencing
any problems is basically just a matter of chance.
Quote continues: "Their exe is also a different/older build. Also most text
is buggy (speechtext, game options, items,..)."
This is simply owing to the fact that we neither put out nor authorized the
english -REDHERRING release. Obviously someone else thought it was a funny
idea to repack the english version with our german crack and release it by
the same name...
Sorry for the long delay of this release, but we wanted to make sure that
everything was ok. As for those who has downloaded any of the prior releases
we have also included the crack in a seperate .rar.
Enjoy the real deal!
