I was around 10 the first time I played RCT. A friend of mine brought me a copy disk of his original one. I could install the game but not play since there was a protection against copied CDs with an error message. In a desperate attempt, I bruteforced the exe by clicking 50 times on it and suddenly the game magically started. I was so happy I started a dance of the joy and would then use this trick to play the game.
To this day I still don't know how it was possible to bypass the protection.
