So I bought an original copy of Alien Breed 3D off eBay to add to my CD32 collection, and when I try playing it, it asks me for a 3-digit code from the manual. The manual wasn't included in the auction, so I'm kinda screwed.
A while back, I had a similar problem with Worms, which has basically the same copy protection scheme. I was able to find a PDF with tables D and G for Worms, but not the rest of the tables. I can keep rebooting Worms until I get a code from one of those pages (although this is a pain in the butt), but Alien Breed 3D apparently uses different codes than Worms.
I'd like to be able to play these original games I purchased, but I don't want to have to eBay ANOTHER copy of each just to get the stupid code booklet... are there complete copies of these codes online somewhere?
[Edit - Whoops, just noticed that the Worms codes were actually in The Zone at the moment! Good timing on that one :) ]
