PC warez/docs/tools group founded by The Byter in about 1989, probably releasing on Apple II/GS as well.

The Alternative is a special pirate group. We do not release games like the other groups do, but provide pirates with much-needed utilities and application software..

The Alternative is meant to be a compliment to the other groups. We often release docs and solves when the other groups do not. We have also released fixes for games which were cracked incorrectly, presented cheats, and other helpful utilities.

Most importantly, The Alternative is the creative force behind Celerity - the most original and advanced pirate BBS being used today. Celerity features multiple high-speed optimizations, strong sysop features, new user voting, full featured network, and many options not found on any other pirate BBS program.
