TRIVIA ABOUT COPY PROTECTION
----------------------------
The Commodore 64 edition, maybe others,
held a clever easter egg to trip up
casual pirates (meaning, the consumers
who used fancy clone programs to
replicate commercial game disks, not the
people who wrote such fancy programs).
Since the fancy cloners were in a
continuous arms race against the copy
protection schemes of game makers, one
could never assume the fresh copy would
work without actually testing it.
Typically, just running the copy for a
few seconds was sufficient, as most
games in this era would refuse to start
up at all should their copy protection
mechanism detect end-user duplication.
But woe to the one who copied THIS game
at a friend's house, only to take it
home and discover that although the
false clone would run just fine, it
would only ever offer one case to judge:
"software piracy," for which the correct
answer was always "death penalty."

Interestingly, it seems Crime and
Punishment's lone coder - Rick Oliver -
wasn't a fan of either the game or the
6502 microprocessor, if messages found
in the game's code are to be believed:

HELP - I'M TRAPPED AT IMAGIC, AND
THEY'RE FORCING ME TO WRITE STUPID GAMES
LIKE THIS ONE.

I TAKE NO PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR
THE CONCEPTION OF THIS GAME -- RICK
OLIVER

I HATE THE 6502
