I loved SoftIce.

It was a royal pain to lock windows up! It was clunky and you had to get a feel for if you were still in your program or you were dragged into the OS for things like Windows actual mouse code/logic.

I almost can’t imagine how I did it using another PC for my notes and scratchings. Having to manually type out so many addresses and the code I was inspecting.

Still, for some reason I loved SoftIce. I remember it just working.

This along with ollydbg and w32dasm brings back memories of the old keygen and patch days. SoftIce blew my mind at the time. Man that was fun!
