You thought this would be a joke, but it isn't. I'd propose the same rules as with the other two guess-that-games.

OK, here's an easy one: Turrican.exe ;D
Just kidding, OK, here's my file:

Jihad1.dat

What game was that? Hint: It's from the 80s and it had a nasty copy-protection ;D

Doom?
Nope. It's from the 80s but Doom had a very decent copy protection. The game the file is from lets you enter words from the manual. And it's a strategy game.

I know the game, but I can't think of it... is it Civilization?

Doom didn't have any copy protection as far as I know.. is that what you mean by "decent" ? :)

In some countrys, DOOM required some sort of activation key to work.

Nope. OK, here's yet another hint: The name of file directly refers to the subject and the title of the game. Any SSI-lovers out there?

Al-Qaedim: The Genie's Curse. (Although it's more rpg than strategy, it's worth the guess ;D )
