What happened to it, eh?

I know many a gamer considered them 'Teh Suck', but in an odd way I miss those crrrr-azy black-ink-on-black-paper pirate-cuss pamphlets. Entering the umpteenth word of the eleventh line on page sixty of Teh Manual always made me feel extra special too. Oh, and those vaguely filthy sounding 'hardware dongles', those were lovely. Also: The Monkey Island dial-a-pirate wheel style efforts... Top stuff. I literally 'erupted' with 'joy' when I saw that one. Then took it apart and traced it - ah ha ha!

I lost my Worms one, and can never play the bugger again :angry:


Bloody Team 17 and their zany anti-thieving-bastard tactics of yore...Worms Armageddon came with no such fancy frippery, so why the original?! WHY!?!?!?!

Nowadays, copy protection (on the PC, at least) is restricted to the utterly stupid need to have the game disc in your CD drive every time you want to play it, even though you had to have installed the ENTIRE contents of the disc onto your hard-drive before it would even let you THINK about playing the game. This results in many several honest purchasers of the game visiting urine-soaked dodgy websites offering no-CD cracks for their LEGITIMATELY PURCHASED title, just so they can play it without scrabbling around their game boxes for the game disc every time they fancy a quick go on Super Generic Racer 718.

Which could actually lead to Johnny Gameplayer thinking "Hey, there are all sorts of no-CD cracks here. I know, I could just borrow the game from Billy Friend, install it and use a crack. Hurrah!", leading to another innocent soul falling afoul of Evil Jake Piracy. But I'm sure the software companies know what they're doing. Ahem.

You sir, made good use of bold there!

on a more personal note I love Super Generic Racer 718 and it's easily in my top 5 games ever.com ;)

The Super Generic Racer franchise has lost some of its charm since SGR 716.
My fave's still SGR 14 for the Speccy. Those were the days, eh, lads?

Monkey Island CPs were a larf. And Premier Manager 3 gave me a wheel with codes on it! It was like a free gift!

Oh yeah Im sorry if this is abuse of the forum but I find this really entertaining.

I love you crazy guys!

Do you do any 'How to post like Me!' courses?

Can I bottle your 'essence'?

Isn't it SClub8 now?

I think it's all the spray paint I've inhaled in the last ten years. And a how to post like me course would just consist of getting very drunk on absinth whisky and guinness. Slagging off a load of relvolving door pop bands. Then stealing as many road signs and roadworks things as possible(I never write graf drunk) on the way home. It probaly is club 8 I make a piont of getting pop bands names wrong or not remembering them or trying to forget them.

If you, my eight-sided friend, were here from the start, these forums might be getting a million posts a week by now...

Old #digi mew.

I too have a bunch of feckin' games I can't paly because I lost the little instructions that have all the codes on them.

I have a Amstrad game that used like 3d glasses only not to read the codes. Far more entertaining than the actual text based adventue it was protecting I can assure you.

And to stay on topic, does it censor " hill-billy bum rape "?

Obviously not. Oh well ("PRETTY FLOWER" - Ed) it.
