Ambermoon CD Version?
Just found this on Ebay.
http://www.ebay.de/itm/AMBERMOON-AMI...item4ae28a941c Anyone knows something about it? Is it some bootleg? Never knew it was (re)released on CD by anyone. |

Ah ok so they just released stuff without licenses after the previous owner got bankrupt. Wonder which version they used for that CD.

It was pirated I called Steven at Alive and he said they bought them already manufactured in good faith at a market stall in the UK.
My arse they did. I am 99.99% sure they manufactured them (considering what they went on to do). They had already sold all their stock to Amiga resellers. Some sites stopped selling them after I contacted them, taking a loss, but Amiga Hut in USA refused and they were advertised on their website until it closed.

No, the guy who sells these CD's is creating the CD's/cover.
In the auction it's named Ambermoon (CD-R). AFAIK he doesn't sell any original soft and Alive has never released this game as CD-version. |

Alive DID sell them on CD's.
In 2000, Jennie & Steven Flowers sold something like 100 units to a mixture of Soft Hut in USA and another Amiga shop in the netherlands. He claimed he didn't manufacture them. If that is true then I cannot imagine that the copies they sold would have "Alive mediasoft" printed on them. I'm looking to see if I still have the PDF/JPEG of the Alive Mediasoft Magazine "The Pulse" where they announced they would be selling Ambermoon + Amberstar in English on a CD.
