Is Waxworks the same?
There still isn't a 100% version of that. |

There's only two versions I know of, the Fairlight version which has a very serious bug on the egyptian level where you simply cannot move at all.
The other version is by Ministry and there's apparently a problem in the london level where a certain event never happens making it impossible to continue. There's a thread about it somewhere on here, the only way it was completable was by playing one version, saving the game and then carry on playing it with the other version. |

I can assure you I finished the game back then and I didn't use 2 versions.
![]() Edit: I'll check my dusty diskboxes, maybe I still have the disks. I doubt it though. |

If I remember right, here are some more.
Future Classics, red shiny letters on red non-shiny background, wtf? Starblade, copy protection late in the game when going to a certain planet, never found a 100% cracked version back then. Maybe ok on whdload? Oxyd/Per.Oxyd, a whole BOOK of codes written in e.g. lightish pink on darkish pink and other horrible shades. Last edited by rsn8887; 03 July 2008 at 01:38. |

Frontier was incredibly annoying (you needed a cracked copy just to enjoy the game!).
Also, Rocket Ranger required you to figure out exactly how much fuel to put into your jetpack for each journey... Miss by a digit and it's game over! |

An age to load, holding the lenslock device against the screen, and then having 5 seconds to enter 2 digits or another several minute wait to load from tape.... |

you mean manual protection ? Because the copy protection on disk
once removed never appears anymore. Quote:

I remember that the c64 disk version of World Class Leaderboard has a device to put in the datasette slot, but I can be "emulated" by a datasette with the "play" button pressed :P

I'm going to have to beat ALL OF YOU... with a wonderful corker on the Amstrad CPC called "Battle Beyond the Stars" > http://www.cpczone.net/game/112
It took around 3 minutes to load up, then you had to use a wierd... like... "thing" that you put onto your monitor,- then you had to squint your eyes to see through the... "thing" - and wierdly enough, I needed my dad to come help before I could play the game cos I couldnt see the bloody code. not unlike one of them 3D "Magic Eye" things I win :-) |

I think it was "Do not copy this game". Worst protection surely was any LensLok shit on the Spectrum ![]() |
