Well I ain't Codetapper but...

IIRC Uridium 2 uses lots of LINEA and LINEF in the intro sequence, though I don't think it was for copy protection purposes. Nothing else springs to mind!

I've found that many 3D games use self modifying code in the graphics routines to rewrite the inner loop(s) to render in a particular colour. The Hard Drivin' series is particularily bad for this but I've seen it in The Killing Cloud and Shuttle as well. Zeewolf and Manic Miner have some SMC as well but its not graphics related ISTR.
