I bought Sim City for PC at a used bookstore, and it didn't come with the reference page for a code it would ask you for after playing a certain amount of time.

Without this code, the game would turn on all hazards (tornados, fires, flooding, Godzilla, etc) and make itself unplayable.

Also it was black on red to make it harder to photocopy. I remember my mom being proud that she'd used the filters on the fancy copier she had at work to copy this sheet.
