I have fond memories of the "Dial-a-Pirate" [1] and similar copy protection wheels of Lucas Arts Games such as Monkey Island. I think I have them somewhere in a box.

We didn't have the dial-a-pirate wheel, because the owner of the game kept it. So we used a handwritten table my mother compiled from the wheel.

For LOOM, which was just a chart of arbitrary symbols, we had a xeroxed copy of the chart.
