I cannot find a game key for Terminator 3 (my kid's game so don't flame me). I looked in the registry under Atari and Terminator 3 and cannot find the game key. Are there any suggestions on how to find it. A game key finder app?
 
I did a search on Google, and didn't come up with much on ways to find the cd key. Yeah just searching for term 3 or Atari.. so on would bound to come up with it... Since you actually bought the game, might I suggest just using a cd from a friend ;). Unless of course this is a multiplayer game, then you might not be able to play online.



viva la mexico!
 
Keys used to be plain text a long time ago so they were easy to find but now, they are encrypted so even if you did know where it was, it probably would not do you any good. I just write all my keys down in notepad and I back it up with everything else I do on a DVD so it is hard to lose them. I have lost a key in the past so this is why I now do what I do.
 
it may not be in the registry, try looking around in the games directory. if you find the file which seems to be a key(does not matter if it is encrypted)just use a keygen to install(save the original file), then overwrite the new file with the old(legal) one.
