UPDATE: I installed RK961.ZIP and when I ran it, I
found it is registered to
FREE COPY from BBSFILES.COM with a key from 2013.
No need for a keygen after all.
How did you get around the "damaged or missing key" error using that
copy of RK961? I am guessing it has to do with the Sysop and
BBS name entered during the registration process? If that is the case, from the choices above ("FREE COPY" and "BBSFILES.COM"), which of the
names is the "sysop" and which is the "BBS name" ?
The copy I downloaded already had the registration information setup - I just unzipped it and ran the .exe and it said it was already registered.
It appears to be in the the _REBEL.SEC file, it has the same date displayed in the registration info shown when the software starts. The contents of the file appear to be encrypted.
On reddit someone mentioned having tried a copy that said something like "this was a short term key that has now expired," but I don't know if they were talking about the same version. RK961.ZIP 441,151 bytes is the version I have. There's a copy on my BBS (another.tel) in file area 3 (BBS files).
I haven't been actually playing the game here, but when I start it from the command line with REBEL /L it does open with the following screen:
REBEL KINGDOM (C)2003 A.S.S.I.S.T., Inc.
