beats me. i have poor memory. the floppy version of PQ4 doesn’t have any copy protection at all, nor did QFG4, LSL6, or SQ5. If they did, I never encounted any.
I did have a demo from Sigma Designs of PQ4, and it had a different opening where the LAPD badge gets blown away by a shotgun blast.
as for GK1 . . . I really can’t remember. The only thing left after my sis in law stole a bunch of games is the comic for GK3.
