The Diskmaker Toolkit was out in 1985 from the Basix which also released DiskMaker and Diskmaker Plus. Some features are to copy unprotected disk in just one minute. Removes errors while copying to recover lost data. Super Fast 8-Second Format. Quick disk scan for errors and half-tracks. Fat-Track construction kit. A true GCR editor. There is also a Drive alignment check which you need the back side of the “original disk” to use it.
Castlevania – Code Sheet
This game was released for the Commodore 64 in 1990 by Konami, which was another hugely popular game on the Nintendo NES.
The Commodore 64 disk of Castlevania did not have any copy protection on it, BUT instead you had
look up a password from the Castlevania Password Book. Like many code sheets from this time it was on dark red paper, making it very hard to photocopy. See below.
Thanks to Klotz, I was sent scans of the original sheet. As usual I converted it to Black and White and put into a PDF.
You can download it here: Castlevania-codes
Blades of Steel was released in 1990 by Konami for the Commodore 64. Most people will remember this great game from their old Nintendo NES days. This was also a fun game for the Commodore 64.
The disk do not have any copy protection on it, but instead the game used a “Code Sheet”.
You needed to enter a four digita password code before being able to play the game.
Again Thanks to: Craig A. Ernster we now have that code sheet online.
Here it is in PDF:

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.

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.
