Comment (by m-kiewitz):

 I think we shouldn't touch copy protection, unless it was disabled in some
 release by Sierra via interpreter (to my knowledge that never happened) or
 we ask the rights holder (Activision?), otherwise we set us up for
 potential legal trouble.

 You can load saved games from ScummVM menu before even starting the game,
 so in reality you only have to get through copy protection once.

 We can of course document this on a wiki, I don't know. The problem is
 also that we don't know if the user bought a version with a bad manual, or
 not. I can check my own copies.
