Amiga ‘Quick Nibble’ Title Screen

Title screen for “Quick Nibble”, a copy program for the Commodore Amiga.

Here is a little-something I had not seen or heard in a very, very long time;  the “Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me” title screen for Quick Nibble, the old-school Amiga copy program.  I remember walking into a local Amiga user-group meeting in southern California in 1987.  It was basically a big copy-session and you could her “Yo ho, yo ho…” firing up every few minutes.  To be fair, the mid-80’s Atari Computer Club sessions were no different, nor the Commodore User Group, or Apple Computer Club, etc.

It was pretty bold of these guys to put their address and phone number on the opening screen of their copy-protection-cracking software, while also ripping off Disney’s intellectual property in the process!
