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.

seems like all the disks using the same structure, you only need to load "loader",8 and your're on the go.. great!

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.
