"Somehow the second game in a trilogy always seems to be the worst of the three, unfortunately, and that is no exception here."

Except for the Star Control series =). Of course 1 was rather flat. And 3? What 3.

What is that protection stuff all over the screens about? Copy protection?

AITD 1 is protected and no go, and 2 is go? WTF??!?!

Okay, so, anyone with any pointers on how to use the crack file? Because you keep dying when you go behind the statue if you don't go past the protection.

There should've been an NFO file that came along with the crack; the copy protection removal involves pressing two keys at the same time, when the screen comes up. It is, apparently, a more annoying protection routine than most, either that or the cracking group was simply lazy.

But AITD2CRK does work, it's just a bit annoying. Read the NFO.

I wrote a quite detailed FAQ about this protection stuff. Basically you do not need any crack, but I explain how to get the correct codes. There are cards you can scissor and paste to get the codes, or more simply the list of all possible protection codes. Everything holds in a 277 Kb Zip archive. Unfortunately it is not online yet, so I guess some1 will have to post an email address for me to send it over.

How come you can download the 2nd game but the 1st one is protected? :blink:

AITD2 is not sold, and ESA has not renewed its protection on 2. 3 is sold, and 1 is still protected by the ESA. Don't ask me why, its just that way.
