4	->''"I know I'm not the only one who was stuck on this for ages because it seemed every time I turned to the hints page in ''[[OverlyNarrowSuperlative The One Amiga Magazine]]'' someone would be asking about the god damn start of level 2 in ''{{VideoGame/Flashback}}''. And I remember the smug tone of the reply when they revealed that the solution lay in the game's manual. Well, maybe we didn't have the manual, ''The One Amiga Magazine''.

13	->''My friend Johnny across the street, His family has a VCR, And my family has a VCR too. Let's put them all together and we will make a copy. Let's copy this movie on to this Blank Betamax tape. You think that will be simple and easy to do. Except Hollywood had a little catch there for you. (As he opens the Betamax top) Deep with in the chasms of this video tape you see here is a copy-protection scheme known as Macrovision. And Macrovision was there to prevent you from Copying Hollywood's greatest hits. What did it do? Well, There were no police officers coming in to your house and prevented you to copy it. If you did the copy, It would go from clear image to scramble image. Not fun to watch. On a modern VCR, It had a chip in that would stop the recording. And you will get an error message to tell you that you cannot copy this Betamax tape.''
