I remember, back in my university days, being somewhat loosely involved with the "POPsource" (Prince of Persia source code recovery). The team drove down to Jordan Mechner's place with a DiscFerret and a bunch of other magnetic media reading gear.
Given that DiscFerret was "new on the scene" at that point, that was pretty fun to watch (from my seat on the other side of the pond). Shame Wired didn't bother to get the facts right and their editor wasn't concerned (in the slightest) with fixing the mistakes!
Still, it was mindblowing to be even a minor part of that.
(Only saying "the team" because I can't remember the names of all involved, and I'd rather not risk missing someone out)
