Space empires 5

Let me see if I have this straight. You came on here and just posted upfront and with no concern about anything about wanting to break the law and illegally get a game OEM code from someone who would also have to break the law and illegally give said code to you.

That about it? Oh, and then you conveniently gave everyone your email address.

This was quite ballsy of you considering this is the official site for the game. I applaud your audacity, sir, even as I deplore your intelligence.

I am curious about one thing...
IIRC, SE IV is on the disk with SE V... SE V disk resides in a sleeve to SE V... code is on sticker on sleeve to SE V...

So how does one play SE IV, that is on the SE V disk, if the SE V disk is supposed to be kept in the sleeve with the code key, yet not have the sleeve to SE V? For me, if I were to loose the sleeve, I would also loose the game disk...

Here is a tip.
If you are not going to keep a game in the original case/sleeve that has the key code, or if you easily misplace (or store elsewhere) instruction booklets/sleeves/cases that have key codes on them, get little note pads (the ones just a few inches wide/high), or post-it-notes, write down the key code to the game, and then stick it to/on/in whatever case/sleeve you are going to keep the game in, so you can have a backup of the code in/on the disk case/sleeve you do keep the game in.

I've had to do such things before, partly due to one game having the sticker use less than good ink that rubs off easily (can barely read several of the letters now), and also since I tend to store my instruction books for older games in a drawer, and games on a spinning CD rack, it gets to be a pain in the but searching through piles of maybe a hundred or more instruction booklets trying to find the one I need with the key code to re-install an older game.

Or just put all your codes into a single .txt, which you then copy to a stick/hdd/cd, whatever, where you can find it.

In the european version, the code is on the booklet, which can be lost easily (there is nothing else important in there...) and you can have an original SEIV disk.
(just about to buy one, as the european version of SEV does not feature SEIV.

I'm with Astorax on this. I was about to say the same thing but I first thought it better to just ignore the thread.

I believe I saved my codes on a seperate file just in case they were lost as Blubel has said.
