MAME 0.248 supports .moof files, which are disk images of copy protected Mac floppy disks. ("Moof" is the sound a dogcow makes.)
Hey, that gives me an idea.

This one is kind of a big deal. The game has never been cracked, it was last imaged in the mid 1990's, and that image is nonfunctional because it didn't fully capture the disk's protection. It is also exceedingly rare; the Mac port did not sell well, and the game did not work on any Macs beyond the Mac Plus. It last showed up on eBay a decade ago. When it showed up earlier this year, a group of like-minded archivists pooled donations and were able to win the auction and preserve it properly.
The Quest.moof
If you play The Quest from an unauthorized copy, it lets you play for long enough to read the introduction and go buy stuff from the shop. Then on the way out of the shop, a huge Red Dragoon and company appear from nowhere complaining about software pirates, drag you away to the dungeon, and the machine reboots.
