Sometimes the little details make me go “holy shit I fucking love piracy”. The still running tradition of installer music is probably the biggest one of those for me. Nothing will ever match that feeling and it came from crime.

    FFF (Fighting For Fun) made some of my favorites. This is as good a thread as any to ask: I’m pretty sure FFF made a keygen with the main window having a pixel art’ish Milton, from “Office Space,” with his red Swingline stapler and I’m trying to find it. Anyone remember it and maybe have a screenshot or something?

    I rarely pirated software back in the day except maybe Photoshop 7 (give or take a release) plus a couple popular plugins like “Eye Candy”, 3D Studio Max 5, or something like Nero Burning Rom but I don’t think it was for any of those. I associate the song at 4:20 of this video with it but I could be mixing memories at this point. The comment with the timestamps says it was used for Virtual Painter. That was standalone software but also a PS plugin (?), but unfortunately doesn’t ring a bell with me.

    Anyway, I’ve been trying to find that silly pixel Milton off and on over the years if anyone else happens to remember it.
