Need list of Commercial games turned freeware

[Enverex]

I know BASS is now freeware, as are all the Cinemaware games. Have any other commercial Amgia games turned Freeware?

Such a list doesnt exist i've asked for one awhile ago for my For Amiga Fans! site but nonetheless I do know some thats freeware now.

Melon Dezign made the game Naughty Ones freeware awhile ago and Thalion has bought Chambers of Shaolin and The Seven Gates of Jambala into the freeware scene. Revolution Software LTD also made their classic Lure of the Temptress free about the sametime as BASS if I remember correct.

freeware can sometimes not be freeware at all, if a webmaster (such as the BTTR guys), asks a company for the right to host their game, they are given permission, but it doesn't make it freeware!

I know, which is why I dismiss the statements such as "Oh, just look at BTTR" as all that tells me is that BTTR has permission to distribute them, not that they are freeware. Yeah, I had already thought of that.

yeah, well, it would be a huge task to have an official list of commercial gone freeware titles... but i'd like to see one....

maybe it could be a feature for hol

Yeah, I'm not making a list or anything, I am just checking off games on my site against ones that are now freeware. As I am getting permission off some people to distribute them, etc.

We are pretty sure Cinemaware games are not freeware - even though you can download them from their site.

This is my conclusion also as there is no mentioning on their site that people are permittet to host their games. They are probably only freeware as downloads on their own site to attract people who used to play their older classics.
