Hired guns. Impossible to save when the game is cracked.
Base jumpers. Impossible to jump after you failed protection check. Wiz n Liz. Extreme slowdown after you completed the game one easy mode, when cracked. These are not glitches, but clever anti-piracy protection. |

T-Zero: inverted joystick handling and "PIRATE" written in the highscore list if game is not cracked properly
Kick Off 2: "random" crashes if game is not cracked properly Sleepwalker: impossible to finish level 1 if game is not cracked properly Fire'n'Brimstone: graphics trash due to screen memory used as MFM buffer in the cracked version There are many many more examples. ![]() |

Galahad - but it was an intended piracy protection that made the game unbeatable if you pirated it. There was a platform where you can't jump over it if you didn't play from original.
Pang - no flying enemies. |

Best off looking in the games that were badly cracked thread, lots of examples in there of protection side effects.
Killing Game Show - Liquid rises too quickly Sleepwalker - Barrel missing at start F-29 Retaliator - Plane drops out of sky with piracy warning Mega-Lo-Mania - Miss a copylock check and it plays a laughing sample and a piracy picture Battle Command - You can play one mission and then the game locks up Nitro - Miss protection check and after first race car skids uncontrollably So many more. |

The same with Virocop - one platform in level 1 or 2, that was supposed to move, was stopped in cracked version.

Dungeon Master / Chaos strikes back : full party sudden death (after a while) or animation stopped (if too many checks while going thru stairs fail). DM can even be finished with a badly cracked version.

The most Famous one "GODS" becomes extra hard.
Robocod the joystick is reversed. The WHDload version of sleepwalker AGA you can't get past a later level iirc because there's no giraffe but you can on the old JST install don't know if this is copy protection or what........ Last edited by Retro1234; 30 November 2017 at 12:35. |

Alien Breed Special Edition 1992, can't remember if it's Fairlight or Ministry crack.
There's a spot blocked by an invisible wall on one of the later levels making it impossible to progress, only way is to skip the level by using a level code. |

Rogue - was much harder in the cracked version.
I only realized that many years later and got used to the new difficulty level. ![]() |
