RoboCop 3 - Dongle Anti-Piracy that Failed | MVG

RoboCop 3 was published by Ocean Software , and developed by Digital Image Design in 1991. The game was the first to utilize a dongle that plugged into the joystick port which would render the game useless without it. Here is the story of how the dongle was marketed by Ocean Software as a game changer in the industry and how one cracking group - Fairlight - were able to defeat it.
