I've had a quick look and at least one of the games is listed there. Now I just have to check the version number of the one I've got. It still seems absurd that a game that cost me 10GBP should have copy protection when programs costing many times more do not. Also it is annoying that they should depart from technical standards to do it, because all that will happen is somebody will make non-standard equipment to beat it and eventually that will become the new de facto standard, and in the meantime many people will be confused about things that sometimes work and sometimes don't for no obvious reason. As if technology wasn't confusing enough already. Rod.
