It just rings a bell, but that’s about it. But I remember the early copy protections…like these paper wheels to scroll through symbols to enter a code before playing.

turn to page 57 and read word 12 on line 5. that’s the password.

Oh yes lol, and those. But they had to up their protection when we just included the scanned manual 😁

my favorites were: at the beginning of the game:
**Please do not pirate this. We worked hard and could use some money"
or something like that. The shareware version of Doom got me hooked on FPSes for a good decade though.
