The message seems to imply anti-piracy functions were implemented, could this be the case or is this just an empty bluff by a very angry Amiga dev? --AquaBat (talk) 22:53, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Some Googling tells me that the game uses custom floppy track loaders instead of the Amiga's usual DOS file system in order to mess with copying devices. Not an uncommon practice in the Amiga's anti-piracy arms race, but the SPS didn't seem think much of their attempt. The developer's believe that there would never be a working crack was, needless to say, proved unfounded by PARADOX, but their release sadly doesn't include much in the way of bragging about how they did it. If any more technically minded Amigaheads have any ideas, I'd love to know more! --TheKins (talk) 08:57, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
