the copy-protection of this game is particularly "cute".  when it detects that
you are playing a copy, it cheats .... and beats the hell out of you.

unfortunately, with a Mac+ or MacEnhanced, it even considers the original
game disk a "pirate-copy" and cheats.  Anyone know how to defeat it?

                         copy protection go straight into the BIG file)
