Cracking DesignWare's The Grammar Examiner on the C64
It's been awhile since I've stripped the copy protection off a Commodore 64 software package. This weekend I had a reason to. I should point out a couple things as preamble. First, my parents insisted I would not rot my brain with games (much), so we had a lot of educational titles for our C64, and second, my wife is a high-school English teacher. I kept a number of packages from back then and one of them was a secondarily acquired copy of DesignWare's The Grammar Examiner from 1984, something like a mashup between a board game and Strunk and White's Elements of Style , where you get to edit a fictional newspaper and fix all the typos and bad punctuation in your quest to become editor-in-chief.
