    Bye, Wilfred.

    Yes, and didn't know that there was so many versions of it.

    Here's a video about it:

    Watched it the other day. Yeah, it was the warez copier of choice back in the day!

    I personally didn't use it to copy protected disk's, but it was used to copy disks... ^-;

    I don't remember using anything else! But there must have been something before
    X-Copy was available! ;-)

    Yep, and the normnal 2.x version...

    Didn't need to. When you had a mate in the 'scene', and had a certin type of modem things just seamed to fall into my
    lap! 8-;


    True story:

    Got a hold of a copy of Command & Conquer (Or it could have been Red Alert, can't remember the fine details).
    It lacked the video files, and was basicly cut down to the bare bones...

    We used to play lan games (Back when 10mb was fast.), and all the guys (Me inclluded) loved the game that we purchased
    the full retail box. I still have the CD's for the first one, and have the box/DVD for C&C 3.

    I loved the game so much, that if you searched the usenet archives (If they still exist), and find/found the "To Much
    C&C List" you'll see who compiled it! #-)

    I think I was one of the few Amiga owners who wasn't into gaming that much. Of course I played a few, but weeks could go by, when I didn't play any games at all! ;-)

    So I have no clue what you are talking about. ;-)

    I guess that makes me one of those other "few". I think the only game I played
    on my Amiga 1000 was Archon--great game, BTW. I was more into the creative side; art, music, some programming, etc.
