I remember back in the C=64 days when I would buy anything published by
EA, because they were *that* good. Of course I would immediately crack
their stupid 10 minute long half-track loader (their proprietary DRM) and
have the game load up in 3 seconds with FastLoad.

And for people who didn't crack the endless EA logo loading screen? I
made a fortune realigning 1541 hard drives so it would work. I always
offered the pirate tool though.

But still, Archon, Seven Cities of Gold, MULE. They were amazing.
