      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.

        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!
