The keys on the back of the manual, the game manual i usually keep inside the conveniant plastic DVD case that usually accompanys most games but no not earth 2160, just like World in Conflict i get a freakin cardboard box with cd's and a tiny paper thing to keep them in, bullshit! Both those games look like they had high production values, earth 2160 comes with its own soundtrck CD but they skimp on the physical packaging, crap! So anyways ive lost the manual, i think it was thrown out with the rest of my game manuals in a big box (manuals from the old jewel case games era) because they were infested with tiny black critters that liked either reading old game manuals or the paper they were made of :p So i dont have my key, the key i got from a random website didnt work, it wont even let me play single player without a valid key and thats all i wanted to do... This isnt fair! What do i do?

Its not fair because the key is usually put on a sticker on the DVD case that comes with the game, or at least if its on the manual the DVD case has a holder for the manual, in this case there was neither so the manual is not gone, i didnt lose it either it was being eaten by bugs and thrown away!

I didnt know the key was on the back of the manual when i threw it out otherwise i would have... Pirating it or using a keygen has proved difficult, which is why i asked here for a last resort.

Otherwise, contact support and ask if you can send them a picture of your jewel case or something. I think that was a Midway game right? http://www.midway.com/us/SupportCustomer.php

Think it was by reality pump and published by zuxxex. Ill give emailing them a try with a picture of my game, sounds like a decent plan :D
