Is it just me? Am I the only one who has a soft spot for code wheels?
For those not REALLY REALLY OLD, code wheels were a form of offline
copy-protection where the game would ask you to input a code, which
you would acquire by fiddling with two cardboard disks, twisting and
aligning them until they gave you the correct data.*
I don't think I ever had a game with one although I think that was possibly as getting a code wheel inside a tape box is not so easy and by the time the big box format had become the norm it was all you had to have the manual or a copy of it.
