HL2 used SecuROM - which was pointless since the downloaded edition didn't
have the protection.

BTW, I had a problem with Starforce with the game Restricted Area: It
reported that it couldn't read the disk for some reason. The fix (which
was not stated in the error message) was to eject Disk 3 and insert Disk 1.
