Title: Copy protection for Alone in the Dark 2 on floppy disk...? Help?
Post by: Ali on Wed 04/02/2004 14:04:19
I hope this is the right forum, I need some help.

I've just bought Alone in the Dark 2 on floppy disks but it doesn't have the manual so I can't solve the copy protection puzzles.

I have some playing cards that help me work out the password/symbol, but I don't have the manual that should tell me which function keys correspond with which symbols.

I'm not trying to do anything illegal - it's not a copied game - I just wondered if anyone could help me... please?

Oh really??

How do you explain this security photo I took of you, Mr Sticky-fingers?

After I took that game, I swiped some Barnfilmer. You've gotta love it's barny-goodness.

Still... any help?

Copy protection is so evil.

It's genius.

Hey... now that you've legally purchased AitD2... that means you can now feel free to download a fully cracked version online!

I actually have a tinyyyy little codebook for AitD somewhere, or maybe even 2. I'm not sure if it's still around but I will have a route around for you. It was tiny and had a bunch of pictures in, if I remember correctly.

I don't know if this is enough to pass the copy protection

Hell yeah!  

I've been wanting to play through the trilogy, but I'm too damn cheap to buy it.

Well to be honest they all suck, except AitD which was the original and scarey as hell. And you got to see the chicks panties when she high kicked at the end.
