Bonjour, Pascal Jarry est content de vous interesser par sa protection. Vous avez sans doute remarque qu'une copie de MGT marche pendant 1 minute 30 !!! Alors, n'hesitez pas, copiez MGT, et offrez ainsi des versions ESSAI a vos connaissances. -------> Si vous arrivez a me pirater completement, joignez-moi a Loriciels, votre cas m'interesse E N O R M E M E N T ! ! ! ! ! Preuve demandee : le point d'entree du soft...... Et maintenant, comme vous savez lire et que j'ai un checksum a arrondir, voici quelques octets de plus

Hello, Pascal Jarry is happy to interest you with his (copy) protection. You will probably notice that a copy of MGT will run for 1 minute 30 seconds!!! So then, do not hesitate, copy MGT, and thus offer some TEST versions to your acquaintances. -------> If you can completely pirate me, contact me at Loriciels, your case interests me A L O T ! ! ! ! ! Requested proof: the entry point of this software...... And now, as you can read and as I have a checksum to round, here are some more bytes

Anti-Piracy

As the above message mentions, the game automatically resets after 90 seconds if the copy protection fails.
