Thanks for sharing the keygen!

I had assumed that the 'unregistered' entries in the high scores list was just due to additional scores not having been set yet - obviously I didn't test that properly.  When I was disassembling Othello, I did see that there's a part of the key-checking routine that I skipped over, it looked a bit suspicious but wouldn't have been the first time there was irrelevant code in the function - I guess you found that it wasn't irrelevant after all. :)

There's always a "aww damn, you got me!" moment when I find out a program that APPEARED to accept my fake registration later calls me out on it.  (FrontDoor is in that category right now too!  I'll crack JoHo's code yet, though.)
