I'm more surprised that the copy protection is skipped than that it's not. Mine certainly asks for the copy protection code. Both the English 256-color version and the German 16-color version that were included on the Delphine Classic Collection: Adventure (the CD version).

Quite annoying too, because the copy protection information reproduced in the manual is a bit hard to read...

Where have you purchased these versions of the game? Do you own the manual for them?

I can say it's source of "sharing between friends"... somethings like a private FTP folder... and yes for the english version it's also avaiable the manual i can use on italian version. Indeed at the beginning i have tryed the english version thinking it was multilanguage. ScummVM identifies as "cruise". When i launch it the fist time I immediately noticed that the request of "copy protection" has been skipped but i have also noticed the english subtitles.

Then I also had the opportunity to try the Italian version. ScummVM identifies as "cruise-it" and this time for play the games i have need to pass the copy protection...... luckily that the second times you want to play this games you can use the "Quick Load" feature directly from ScummVM GUI to restore your last savepoint and you can "skip" the copy protection.
