    Somehow I don't think the advice shown in the manual at 3:19 applies anymore. To think they not only would replace a defective disk back then (which is nice) they also seemed willing to look into and correct program bugs you find as well? Crazy.

      Yeah, good observation. In the following part I was going to mention indeed about that but in the context of making backups as I needed to break the protection in order to preserve/backup it. I guess, back then not everyone would think of making a backup as we tend to think nowadays?

    I have played some of the SSI games
    on my Amiga 500,
    but i have never heard of SHARP OF SPRING.
    It looks retrospectively awesome on
    the Commodore 64 😺👍🕹️.

      I never played any SSI games, neither on C64 or Amiga. Demon's Winter was really fun to play even though it was tough to finish it as I didn't start the proper way. With some learnings, I think I will enjoy Shard of Spring, especially that I already enjoyed trying it out for the first 30 minutes. I wonder what have you played on Amiga, any recommendations, Arttu?

      I could recommend these SSI games on the Commodore 64 and Amiga:
      - ROADWAR 2000
      - ROADWAR EUROPE
      - PHANTASIE
      - PHANTASIE III
      - BUCK ROGERS
      - EYE OF THE BEHOLDER
      - EYE OF THE BEHOLDER II
      😺👍

      @@ArttuTheCat Oh yeah, I tried Roadwar 2000 but on C64, it was super tough :). Thanks, I am definitely going to add it on the top of my wishlist.

    I got a copy from CSDB, which wasn't cracked by The Jolly Roger. I believe it was "cracked" by Lord Crass. I ran "Character Utilities" and was able to make a character.

      This version wasn't available on CSDB while doing this video. 21 August, I mentioned about my endeavour on Twitter, as there was only Jolly Roger's crack available back then. This is also stated on the Lost Sectors channel, as folks tried to play that only version 1.0 available for C64. If you check the CSDB page creation of Lord Crass crack, it was added by Paladin on 2023-08-22 13:30:03+00 and it's a version 1.2. So indeed, now there's another version. I don't think this is a coincidence. Glad this version is there for anyone to play. I am happy to have the original anyway. Are you going to play it?
