I didnt even know keygens still existed, i thought everything just had a cracked executable these days. Im trying to think of the last one i saw, probably like 12 years ago, but it was more professional looking than most legitimate programs, with really amazing graphic design and music and a really well made ui. It wasnt just a keygen, there were other options, but i cant remember what else it did or what game it was for.
I used to love old keygens with their pixel art and chiptune music. That was honestly the best time to be on the internet.
A lot of them still have the music. They’re not quite the same as the old school ones, but some have some bangers.

It’s mostly software that still has key gens
Also some cracks come with a lil keygen like thing that cracks the game right then and there. Those will sometimes have them too.
Jason Scott did a talk at defcon a while back specifically about warez pages in old video games. That scene was wild from the beginning.
