There are officially three hidden articles in this issue, two which require a password, to be typed on the magazine menu screen. When the password is typed the menu screen flashes briefly, and the article is accessible.
Here's how to get into the hidden articles. 1) "Yep, just like a" : This is selectable, but it then asks you to insert disk B. Though it isn't immediately obvious, the prompt is using different graphics, from the previous issue. If you insert disk B of PB #22, it will load an "orphaned" article which didn't make it to the menu of that issue. 2) "really crappy" : Genie gives a clue in the scroller in the Help screen for the doc displayer. "1) Think of a song by the Disposable Heroes of Hipophracy. 2) Think of the missing word from the line '(....) casualties of the ratings war'." The answer is "Nintendo". 3) "diskmag!!!" : The clue at the end of the second hidden article. "What is Dominik Diamond's nickname in this diskmag?" The answer is "Dickhead".
There's also rumoured to be a *fourth* hidden article, this one being an "orphaned" article like the first hidden article, but on disk B of PB #23.
The "This copy spread by" and "Who said" messages can be changed by selecting it in the magazine menu screen. You can then edit the text, and press return to confirm. You can then save the changes by selecting "Save Setup" (or Alt-S). The setup also saves the current bookmarks and custom colour settings.
