STARFLIGHT was a role-playing game released in 1989 by Electronic Arts.

It’s copy protect was a Code Wheel.

I’ve seen the two different code wheel colors.
One is Purple with white text and the other is Black with white text. I converted the purple one to black and white and posted online below.

This will be easier to print out and save you some ink!

But here is the Purple one in a PDF file just incase you want that also! Starflight Codewheel

Night Shift is a computer game developed and published in 1990 by Lucasfilm Games, now known as LucasArts. It is a unique action game where the hero is a worker in a factory owned by Industrial Might and Logic (a parody of Industrial Light and Magic). Your character ensures that the factory is working properly as it cranks out Star Wars action figures, including those of stormtroopers and Darth Vader. The object of the game is to always ensure the factory is working properly, and to move in an increasingly better home. (Wikipedia)

This game was release at the end of the game cycle on the Commodore 64 and used a code wheel for it’s copy protection. There is not one online yet.
But thanks to: Craig A. Ernster, we now have one.

LEGACY of the ANCIENTS Code Wheel

This is a Role-Playing game, developed by Quest Software and published by Electronic Arts, and released in 1987.

Like most Electronic Arts C64 disk there is copy protection on the disk, but the game also uses an off disk protection – the Code Wheel.

The game ask the player to match a gemstone (smaller top wheel) and the name of a world on which another branch of the Galactic Museum exists (the bottom wheel). Then you have to enter the six digit code from the requested RING number.

I did not have this code wheel, but thanks and credits to Moloch here it is in PDF: Legacy-Ancients-CW

Magic Johnson MVP Code Sheet

This is a harder to find basketball game published in 1990 by Virgin Mastertronic. The disk does not have any copy protection, but after the boot up screen the program goes to the “User Verification Sequence” screen see the image below.

I could find a list of codes online, BUT it is not complete, it only contains about 1/2 the codes used in this program.

Again thanks to: Craig A. Ernster we now have a complete list of codes used. Download the PDF HERE:MAGIC MVP Johnson Sheet

Pirates! by Microprose was one of my favorite C64 game. If you tried to make a backup of this disk you probably ran into some trouble. Like most Microprose games it contained copy protection.

Pirates! disk was protected by TWO type of protection. First was on disk protection called Rapidlok, more specific Rapidlok V6. There are parameters to crack the protection – see my Parameter Master list.

OK so now you have a working copy of this great game, then the second type of copy protection pops up. It’s the manual look up – argh I hate those. You need to know when the “Treasure Fleet” and the “Silver Train” will arrive. You had to find this info in the semi-thick manual.

IF you enter the wrong info the game will get harder and you can not win any fencing battles. Plus your health was diminished to fair, your crew stripped down to 8 or 10, your ship would have no guns and everyone was at war with you! You can’t have that so here is a “Cheat sheet” from the pages of the magazine:

Here is the PDF: Pirates Silver Treasure Fleet Sheet

But that’s not as cool at the original scans like in the PDF file!
