A French adventure game called "Explora" (the first one in a series of too many...) came with a grid printed on a sheet of tracing paper. It was meant to be put on the box artwork, and the program would pick up a random square from that grid and ask you which was the prevailing colour in that square. Given the size of both the sheet and the squares, and also the fact it was easy to slide a bit and not be perfectly aligned, one often had to make several attempts before getting a code right, even with an original copy !

And - guess what - the game itself was plain crap !
