                   Unprotect for 'The Games (Winter Edition)'


 BE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR 'THE GAMES' DISK BEFORE STARTING AND USE THE
 BACK UP FOR THE UNPROTECT.
 Modify only the backup copy!!!

 First you should rename the file or files
 GAMES.EXE TO GAMES


 Ex. C>rename games.exe games

 Next Load program into debug...

 Ex. C>debug games

 Then Follow the sample debug session:

     -s 0000 ffff 0b c0 74 01     :   Search for the protection pattern

     XXXX:YYYY                    :   The search will return one address.
                                      If more than one is returned
                                      this unprotect may not work.

     ZZZZ=YYYY-0005               :   Sub 5 from the address found
                                      (These numbers are in hex. If you are
                                       unfamiliar with the adding of hex
                                       numbers don't attempt this patch)

     -e ZZZZ eb 03 90 90 90 31 c0 :   Edit the contents of the computed
                                      address

 Now write the new games game back to the disk:

     -w  <Enter>

     Writing XXXX bytes

 Then Quit Debug:

     -q  <Enter>

 Now it is time to rename games back to games.exe

     C>ren games games.exe

 Now try to run the new (Hopefully) unprotected version of The Games

     C>games
