do you remember Montezuma’s Revenge? i loved that game. also the one that had you plug in a 10-key thing to play some space game (i have lost the 10-key thing and the cart for that so idk)
It just rings a bell, but that’s about it. But I remember the early copy protections…like these paper wheels to scroll through symbols to enter a code before playing.
Oh yes. It even worked. I felt bad if I didn’t pay. But also it wasn’t that easy. For me, back then, only one big shop had games for those rare computers. And it was a 1hr drive with my bike…
Oh yes…I still know the maps and cheatcodes by memory. I was there Gandalf, 3000 years ago!

turn to page 57 in the printed manual and read word 12 on line 5. that’s the password.
Oh yes lol, and those. But they had to up their protection when we just included the scanned manual 😁
my favorites were: at the beginning of the game:
**Please do not pirate this. We worked hard and could use some money"
or something like that. The shareware version of Doom got me hooked on FPSes for a good decade though.
