There is no copy protection as such but - IIRC - the data is load with B-R (block read) commands from the disk rather than LOAD-ed in a regular manner. One would have to decipher how to place the various data and code segments on the disk first.

Luca was my pleasure!

I tried to use the loader with some of the other original missing games, but the story file in the original disks seems to be a kind of hidden. I suppose a copy protection here.

Wow, so many classic, and some unknown gems! I suppose Shogun could be a very interesting and challenging game, the book was my fav when I was 16-17.
