      Jason Scott did a talk at defcon a while back specifically about warez pages in old video games. That scene was wild from the beginning.

        I didnt even know keygens still existed, i thought everything just had a cracked executable these days. Im trying to think of the last one i saw, probably like 12 years ago, but it was more professional looking than most legitimate programs, with really amazing graphic design and music and a really well made ui. It wasnt just a keygen, there were other options, but i cant remember what else it did or what game it was for.

          It’s mostly software that still has key gens

          Also some cracks come with a lil keygen like thing that cracks the game right then and there. Those will sometimes have them too.
