5 years of GameCopyWorld

Today 5 years ago GCW was born when the first annoying CD protections had arrived and which made our lives miserable as we were not able to make backup of our CD's. In the 5 years we have seen a lot of different CD protections but none of them has been a serious threat, some are harder than others but in the end there is always a way.

We have to say thanks to all people who supported us by sending files & info this past years, without you it would have taken too much time to roam the internet in search of the files! Much thanks also goes out to all the moderators, past & present, of our FileForums who helped creating a great community of gaming freaks!

Let's see what the next 5 years has installed for us!

Damn, the site has been around that long already? Nice... Still remember when I first found it and got a crack for my Monopoly Tycoon backup. Almost orgasmic when I saw the copy actually worked

I'm not gonna complaine...but it's seams that this is the first time ever, people can add negative and possitive about GameCopyWorld and have suggestion.

First I wanna say happy birthday for 5 years and 1 day!
I've got some request.....I think to make it bether and what it is right now....can be defficult but anyway...it's to have more information about the protection of the game. And update the game cover image. There are link to SecuROM and SafeDisc and CD-Check but that information was "new" in 2001 and not realy 2003 and upcomming 2004. Could be nice if you say what version of SafeDisc/SecuROM/"Protection" it is.

Just a suggestion.

Interesting, the BDay of GCW is only a day away from my very own BDay. I just now saw this post since its only in the PC games section. Maybe next year it can be an announcement for all forums to see.

BTW Happy Belated BDay GCW!!!



Tyler!
