Cool.

Me and Lemming are having some problems with Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego.

The copy protection is a bit like Microprose stuff - you have to choose the right word from the Desk Encyclopaedia (That originally came with the PC version only) otherwise the game just quits.

We've asked Geezer if he can help find the original docs, but if we could crack the protection that'd be really helpful too.

I used to be able to do this with some really old games (like, when F-15 Strike Eagle first came out - hey, that's not on AB...) and that was usually by accident using the old hexdecimal editors - it was just a case of 00 00'ing the relevant section.

Does that still work for "newer" games like WITICS?

If not, how would we could try to it do you think?
