I have a loose disk + a manual to it (lost the box somehow).
Bought it new in Maryland when it came out (visiting relatives). I
recall looking at it w/a sector editor trying to cheat :) when I saw
references to a COPY PROGRAM embedded on the original. If that isn't
asking for it, I don't know what is. I think "Planet Miners" (Avalon
Hill) also had COPYA embedded on it too. Cool game, insanely original,
a little slow (easily fixed nowdays).

You also had a shield on the other arm, which you could also lose. In
fact, you could even be decapitated, which meant of course that you
lost. (Whereas you could run around without an arm, sometimes even
two.)

And some additional notes for Adam. First, Halcyon Days is now online
in its entirety. You can find it at . . . well, the Dadgum server
doesn't seem to be responding. When it comes back up, start at
http://www.dadgum.com/giantlist and you can find a link from there.
Also, Mr. Goodman is working on a new version of Bilestoad for the Mac.
You can find more info at
