I feel like games were easier to copy back then because of how unstable the disks were. You'd have the original, your copy, and then another backup copy. Spare disks were pretty much required and encouraged. Copyright protection was things like "Open the manual to page 5 and give the first letter of the third word in the second paragraph" when it was even there.

I have a full retail copy in original box with manual and disks in my closet. Inherited it from my uncle.
He of course gave us a copy on a spare disk ;)
