« on: August 10, 2009, 11:41:49 am »

I've got a copy of Simcity 3000 that I used to play alot, The sad thing is that my game came in'a bundle and I've seemed to lost the registration code for it :'( Does anyone know of anyway to bypass or fix this problem?

You can sometimes find them online, I lost the code for my tiberian sun CD, asked somewhere, and I got the code.
If they aren't sold anymore and old, im pretty sure its legal.

No.  Unless the copyright holder explicitly releases the rights, it's illegal to get a CD key off the internet, whether or not you legally own the game in question.

There are always ways, but I think it goes against the TOS to discuss them in the forum.

Heh, I read somewhere that you should only get the CD key/crak if you own the original product. That made me assume it was legal :P
