2001

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (PC, Electronic Arts, 2001) measured from the retail disc: ISO 9660 layout, a table hidden in the volume descriptor, the read window that hides the border of a 9,280-sector unreadable region, 249 Unreal Engine 1 packages, and 31 levels in one line.

Measuring the Blood & Lace disc (GMM Entertainment, Tortona, 2001): a Nero master, a signed engine licence inside japotek3d.dll, and a chapter-by-chapter comparison with its sibling Zero Comico, which shares the engine seven months later.
