That Lenslok system must have been really annoying but the dial-a-pirate codewheel is sheer art.

Actually the "code wheel" was used alot - I remember it in alot of the SSI D&D games (Pool of Radiance series). Lightspeed/Hyperspeed and many others used the Page/Paragraph/#word scheme. Can't use that anymore because publishers want to save money making everything PDF.

LucasArts' Their Finest Hour also used the code wheel. Silent Service had you ID the destroyer on page XX.

Blast from the past!! :o

I must have been about 8 years old at the time. It was a pain in the neck!

I remember Lenslok being used for Tomahawk on the Spectrum..

That was great, an Apache simulator for the ZX Spectrum....

Now I feel really old.

Whaa, can't a man have his own piece of DRM :O: Nice sig btw. I want that.

@GMU: Lenka DRM. Buy the original or the soundtrack gets replaced with a Lenka album. Imagine the horror

IIRC reading wasn't the problem, it was the pictures - they all looked the same to me! :88)

I swiped it from one of those GIF places. One of these days I'll be original and make my own. :DL
