>I think some of those games survive in this era thanks to those crackers.

If I remember correctly, a decent number of the titles Jason has uploaded have cracktros because that's all that's left (or all that we have for the moment).

Another interesting thing is that he's working with a cracker to provide crack-diaries that explore the thought processes and actions taken to break the security on the original media.

Thanks for the link..

Interesting reads about the steps take to get those games working again.

I wish they made the descriptions more prominent. You have to click the "TEXT" link to get them. Great link.

The lengths they went through to get you not to copy disks...
