Museums are about history - about the things which have defined us as a race and which have made the earth what it is today. This game has not had the opportunity for people to have even seen it - keeping it in a museum where it cannot be seen except on select days is the wrong thing to do! Since the source code is available, surely it would not be too difficult to make a WHDLoad version - perhaps with a keyfile so that to play the full version you have to register the game and pay a nominal fee? |

BTW, I don't trust anyone but the original programmers or fellow crackers to tell me that a game is heavily protected! Just because a disk can't be copied with X-Copy doesn't mean it is a fortress of protection!

sincerely I won't get involved on this....(because I'm serious) but for me the subject about the rights of the game is a comedy
If the game exists...it's time to upload the demo anywhere and give up the comedy for the young women |

Only game I had problem with copying as a kid was Hook... it only gave me broken sectors/cylinders or whatever they are called, 79 of them anyway........ then I got a new copy program, maybe it was Bamcopy or something.. it didn't show any bad sectors/cylinders then when copying, I was thrilled ! .. but all that happen when running the disks was I saw the loading screen, nothing else....

I second Codetappers criticism of 'Heavy protection'. It is nothing more than a publishers sound bite to an eager magazine reviewer in the vain hope it will buy some time when the game gets released.
A game like this should NOT be allowed to fester in a museum, whatever the problems for the original developers, it would be criminal to see their efforts wasted like this, triumph over adversity and all that |

Boo! Hiss!

I mean, you could probably load up some piece of crap like Huckleberry Hound in Hollywood Capers for those kids and they would still play it. This game deserves a decent release like Liquid Kids, Snow Bros et al! |

Why are there not more open days and hours Sydric? I thought you were talking about a museum that is open to the public for far more hours. |

Auday, rabahs, Murtadha
What a great job they have all done, that game looks very nice indeed! I hope you can release the game and possibly make a little cash, it would be great to see the other game finished too!!! Any screenshot on that one?? Last edited by mihcael; 02 September 2008 at 10:29. Reason: :) |

I don't know Sydric. However I am always uncomfortable when threads begin to turn into flame wars, particularly when we are not in possession of all of the facts.
With regards to the museum, let's not be too hard on Sydric... He is in essence sharing access to his own collection of retro machines. He probably makes no money from the endeavour. It is more than likely that, given power costs, public insurance and building maintenance Sydric is out of pocket everytime he opens the museum. |

My point is that unless we have all the facts, criticising someone publicly is offensive and wrong. (unless it is Doomy ) |

This seems like a sure fire way to lose the game forever! Thank goodness that this is not the only way of getting this game back (Rabah has source code etc!) |
