Fury of the Furries writes to disk 2 (Also a boot disk) it complained when I booted it becuase disk was write-protected

Bill's Tomato Game writes a random number onto the disk that subsequently specifies the password seed to use, just so that magazines couldn't print all the passwords out.

that's a real problem with SPS policy with these games.

After reading your post mailman it reminded me of Wings by Cinemaware. This must also write pilot achievements to disk

Not sure which one though (but should be easy to find out)...

Racter

Not really a game, not really educational, but you'd "talk" with Racter (who, by the way, was supposed to be crazy, iirc; the program spewing nonsense was intended). As you did, it would save your responses to disk, constantly writing things to disk from your name to anything you typed into it (well, probably parsing out nouns/verbs...) It's one disk, so there wasn't even a dedicated 'save disk'...

I have three (two from an ancient TOSEC) One asks if you are "Sane Smith" the other in this TOSEC doesn't even load the program (it's marked as an [a]). The other I have, probably a locally spread copy (may have also been spread on the net many years ago), asks if you are "Sue No". I've no idea what it does on first run.

Indy Heat saves its hiscores onto its disk.
(At least) Sensible Soccer 1.1 saves your custom teams onto disk. Although you can restore the original national and club teams, the original custom teams that come with the game will have been lost.
