Could be Conqueror, but if i remember correctly Sauron was a Ultima Thule fan.
but it could be that my mind is playing memory trics with me

Nothing ironic here, Conqueror knew it would be cracked anyway so he left the message there.

Hidden away in the "pinball" executable of the recently unearthed NTSC HD edition of Pinball Fantasies ECS:

Yeah, I know this one is bloody easy to remove, but the software company wanted it there, so I kept a good smile! I hope you do too and buy the original instead!!!

Nothing too "juicy" as you can see. FYI, there's no hidden message in the AGA executable.

Not a game and not a message to crackers but still worth to post:

	move.l	#'PROP',d1
	move.l	#'HETS',d2
	move.l	#' AG-',d3
	move.l	#'-WE ',d4
	move.l	#'FUCK',d5
	move.l	#' CRU',d6
	move.l	#'SH--',d7

Rather subtle hidden message.

Looks like the coders didn't like Flair software too much.

Speris Legacy - looks like a Zelda game! Might have to try it out!

little bit late, but yes, you have to try this one ! really good game.

"Once again, a small note to pirates and crackers: I thank you very much for delaying the release of DL1, but must once again ask you to please wait with Escape. We have tried to provide the Amiga community with the best possible game for your money (unlike many other companies), and hope that once again there will be enough sales into the future to support yet another game we are planning for the Amiga: TERMINATOR! Please consider delaying your release of Escape. As more and more quality companies leave the Amiga for the more profitable IBM, C64 and Nintendo markets, it is up to you, the users, to show which computer is truly Visionary. Randy "Irwin" Linden"

Randy Linden aka the guy behind PSX emu Bleem

I don't think this is pathetic.
And the Bleem emulator was designed and sold to run Originals, not backups.

Why did they not prevent the user from running backups if that was the case?
