Well, I can come up with one that folows the rules. Ports of Call. It
multitasks, allows copies without fuss or bother, and is 'soft' protected
using _simple_ questions about the manual. That kind of protection I can
live with in a game. It doesn't require re-booting and lives on its own
screen. It seems to 'sleep' when not in use, so it doesn't hog the CPU. It
uses overlays in an inteligent manner, keeping those resident when it can
or using disk access when it can't and is quite addicting.
That's one. 8)
