[comp.sys.amiga.games] Emerald Mine II, Copy Protection

glatz1@urz.unibas.ch (11/12/90)

Anybody out there still knowing of Emerald Mine?

I still think, that Emerald Mine is a great game. I even bought both of them,
Emerald Mine I & II, because I thought, that good software is worth to
be paid for. But one thing is really bugging me. As a serious user I 
really hate to work on originals, but Kingsoft uses a copy protection I
cannot overcome. Since they scratch around on the disk like hell during
boot, I fear the moment everything crashes and I don't have a backup.

Anybody out there, that can give me the right hint, how they made the copy
protection and/or how to get a backup.

(It's really frustrating, there you go and buy software and they don't give
you the chance working on backups; shouldn't I better use easy to copy 
cracked and stolen games ???)


Thanx ..........................................................  Didi
