@[email protected] SSI had the best copy protection in the 80's. Those games were so text heavy, rather than shipping more floppies, they shipped huge manuals and the game was like "just read pages 89-91 for dialogue".
Disassembling a code wheel and taking it to the copy machine was one thing. But a 100 page manual?

@[email protected] hah! I remember this. I had a Game Gear, the Master System adapter and a U IV cartridge... but even in my early teens my eyes weren't up to all that small text. And after about 10 mins you had to pop another 4 AA batteries into the Game Gear anyway
