If disk verification fails, setting out from the castle leads immediately to a game-ending encounter, which is repurposed from the one you get upon leaving the kingdom.
Regular Game
Pirated Game
Shortly after crossing the border into the neighboring kingdom, you are confronted by a huge Red Dragoon (and, of course, a whole company of guards).
Dragoon: Well, well. What have we here? More fodder for our dungeon vermin! Take them, men!
<hit any key>
Suddenly a huge Red Dragoon and company appear from nowhere!
Dragoon: What's this? Software pirates? They'll make fine fodder for our dungeon vermin! Men, take them away, and be wary: they're naughty rascals!
<hit any key>
Hitting a key in the regular game leads to an image of your companions in chains and an offer to play again, but in the pirated game, it immediately reboots the computer.
