Well, I have it and all of the original packaging, having bought LGoP and not
pirated it.  The map & catacombs is not merely "crude copy protection", but the
kind of old-fashioned "read the packaging carefully for clues" stuff that the
really good adventures (interactive fiction) were made of in the proverbial
Good Old Days.  In fact, I suspect that with only the map you'd mostly just
become more frustrated -- you need ALL of the packaging to find your way
through.
