In the pre-CD days, copy protection was a big deal. Now that CD burners are the price of a gallon of gasoline, it should be again.

Actually, I always assumed most people are honest. I thought most people actually bought my games instead of stealing the food from my family's mouths! But if you did pirate software, that's probably why Windows crashes so much on you, causing you to spend interminable hours on the phone with technical support, sitting on hold, listening to those endless loops of Kenny G!

Trivia Quiz Age Check

While this isn't copy protection per se, it is a pain in the butt.

In the original, 1987 EGA version, you can bypass the trivia quiz completely by just pressing Alt-X.

In the remade, 1991 VGA version, I was much more sophisticated. There you have to add the Ctrl- key. Yep, you can bypass the trivia quiz by pressing Ctrl-Alt-X.

Don't you wish you had known these when you first played the game?

Oh, and just in case you'd like to see all the questions and all the answers, here they are, for both the original CGA version and for the VGA remake version. You should read them, if for no other reason than my eerie O. J. Simpson premonition.

VGA Copy Protection Questions

When we redid the original LSL1 in VGA, we added Copy Protection Questions about the supplemental materials that came in the game box. Written by Josh Mandel in his typically hilarious fashion, the originals still make me smile. You can read them here.

Manual-Based Copy Protection

When I was testing the game, I quickly grew tired of looking up the telephone numbers of all those girls so I made my birthday a substitute for any or all of them: 0724. (Of course, you have to include the 555- prefix too.)

Note: This only works on the later version of Larry 2, version #1.002.000. It was released both on floppy disk and in the Larry Collections. If you have the original disk version #1.000.011, this cheat does not work. Click the thumbnail to the right to see a clear, easier-to-read blowup of the girls.

And now that you know my birthday, I expect a card!

Inventory Cheat

If you access the game via the copy protection cheat (above), then you also can cheat in other ways. One is to obtain any inventory item at any time merely by typing 'get object,' where you replace 'object' with whatever you need.

Why You Can't Finish the Game

You're at the top of the volcano. You've found the hold near the rear of the summit. You have the airsick bag, the hair rejuvenator, and the matches. You know you're supposed to create a Molotov cocktail to blow up Dr. Nonukee's evil lair.

But if you type 'PUT BAG BOTTLE' then Larry just drops the bottle down the hole and it breaks at the bottom, making a mess but no explosion.

Why doesn't it accept 'put bag bottle' and 'light bag'?

Here's the full disclosure: The day before the game shipped, the system programmer in charge of 'the parser' (i.e., the module that determines what you typed and coverts it to numbers the game can recognize) fixed a bug that I'd been complaining about for days. He assured me he changed nothing else. I foolishly added the new code to the game, and then played through the entire game, all the way to the end, including that last scene, without a problem. We shipped the game.

Why didn't you catch the problem I'm having?

Because at the time, Sierra's goal was to recognize full sentences. So when I tested the game, I typed the longest, fullest sentences I could come up with! They all worked: 'put the bag in the bottle' and 'light the bag with the match' work fine. But the new parser got confused because he defined 'bag' as a verb. It could be used like that, but never was in LSL2.

But, when I typed the word 'the', the parser knew I was using 'bag' as a noun and not a verb. It thus interprets 'bag' as a noun.

And that's why, 16 years later, I'm still answering emails about a bug I swear I didn't create!

What DOES work?

Adding the word 'the' where it belongs! Sample:

'PUT THE [A] [B] THE [C]' where
[A] includes THE BAG, AIRSICK BAG, THE AIRSICK BAG, THE BROWN BAG
and
[B] includes IN, INTO, INSIDE, TO
[C] includes BOTTLE, REJUVENATOR, TONIC

Examples:
PUT THE AIRSICK BAG INTO BOTTLE
PUT THE BAG INTO BOTTLE
PUT THE BAG IN THE BOTTLE
PUT THE BAG IN BOTTLE
PUT THE BAG INSIDE BOTTLE
and even
PUT THE BAG TO BOTTLE

These do NOT work:
PUT BAG BOTTLE
PUT BAG INTO BOTTLE
PUT BAG INSIDE BOTTLE
PUT BAG IN REJUVENATOR
USE BAG WITH BOTTLE
USE AIRSICK BAG WITH THE BOTTLE
INSERT THE BAG
PUT BOTTLE IN BAG (winos only)
...and countless others!

Thanks to Mark Epperson for the examples above!
