I'm old enough to remember the "look at your game manual and enter the 5th word in the 10th line on page 4!" protection! :D But it was never ANY word, the game didn't have a file containing all of the manual. it was a selection of a handful, and the cracked versions would come with "these are the 10 possible prompt words".
I liked it when the challenge question was actually something within the lore that you could only know if you had the manual.
I remember the old Sierra games would do that a lot.
