Category talk:Games with anti-piracy methods

Note that most, if not all of the piracy screens on the SNES tell you to look in the game's manual, which you wouldn't have if you pirated the game. Either it's some kind of joke, or the developers are stupid. --Nerfman100 15:05, 23 August 2011 (EDT)
 * Perhaps that was there for the off chance that the warning appeared on a legitimate cart, either through glitch or however done? LocalH 12:00, 25 August 2011 (EDT)
 * Pretty nasty if that was the intent, since most of those screens also delete save files. Curtmack 21:05, 25 August 2011 (EDT)
 * Looking in the game's manual was a common form of antipiracy... on home computers in the mid-late 80s :/ - Andlabs 21:18, 25 August 2011 (EDT)
 * Possibly they might also be referring to the console manual? Anyone got a Nintendo game or console manual handy to check for an anti-piracy section? It's been a while since I've looked at one, and I can't remember if they had instructions for how to "snitch" on pirates. Maybe that's what they were aiming at? --LocalH 21:52, 25 August 2011 (EDT)

On an unrelated note, should Mega Drive unlicensed game piracy protection be listed here? Many games share the same general type of copy protection. I started going into detail about it here and the Genesis Plus GX source code has more stuff. - Andlabs 21:18, 25 August 2011 (EDT)
