By the end of the 90’s I had a massive code folder filled with photocopies of the original manuals and other materials required to by the games or to circumvent the copy protection of the games. I even had a Monkey Island code wheel in there. The Leisure Larry 2 page I had was a many generations later copy and I could only make out a few of the faces but it was good enough. Good times.

Your description of the Operation Stealth protection made no sense.

I think Frontier Elite II is worth a mention as the most idiotic copy protection of all time.

When you play the game, occasionally upon landing a message appears from the starport police asking you to enter a work from the manual, it doesn’t tell you if you got it right or not.

Get it wrong and days later when you land another message from the police pops up and tells you that your ship has been seized because they believe it was stolen!

i dont think id count number 15 as effectiv. a ferryman you speak to like very very few times in the game tells u to buy the game or else. yeh thats going to stop people..

and number 10 and 11 are pretty much the same…

and number 17 lists 2 diffrent ones at once. could have removed 10 or 11 and used 16/17/18 however you want to seperate it instead

number 27 kinda pointless to use this line “Those who played the game would notice that their startup company will start to lose enormous amounts of money.” and then fallow it by a slightly diffrent line. unless in the game you do actually lose tons of money right away even in the legit version

29 “This made the game quite unplayable” Mirrors Edge is only playable if moving fast in alot of places needing to jump or dodge ect. i wouldnt call it quite unplayable i would say it was probably impossible to play.
