Sierra's Donald Duck playground, is it rare?
I ran across some of my old disks and found a copy of Donald Duck's playground from Sierra! I transfered it to ADF and also made it bootable. (Original requires WB to be booted first) Is this a rare game? I did not find it online anyware. If anyone is interested I can up it to the Zone for the reasonable price of $0.00 !!! But I will have to charge the great DoomMaster $10.

It was a copy from the Original I made back in 1990. I modified it so it autoboots. This game is also freeware:

No sadly I got rid of the original eons ago! I found it in my backup disks going through some old disks. Glad I made the backup as I think this is a rare gem.

It's definitely an educational title, as it's nothing for kids over 8 years or so anymore. The riddles seem to be on the Sesame Street level, and you do want to challenge 8-year olds, not make them go gaga, don't you  (letting them play THIS is about the same as letting them watch Teletubbies  )

I searched all over the net and on a TOSEC site and it was not there (games), so it is not common. I am thinking of sending it to Back2roots.org to host it since it is freeware.

By the way - the game is not Freeware. Al Lowe doesn't hold the copyrights, if he puts those games on his website, it's just as illegal as any of us doing it.

Um he is the author of the program! If the person who wrote them puts them on their website for download that is freakin good enough for me!!! I will not lose any sleep downloading from his site.
I am not a lawyer but I hardly think Sierra cares anyway. Al Lowe can take the heat from his former employer! Leech away!

Tjlazer: it's still NOt free, he wrote it but he doesn't own the rights to the game, Sierra do. That's how complicated this whole thing is  Nobody is telling you not to leech or that we won't, but BTTR won't put it up because they qre 100% legal and Al Lowe telling them "ok, use it" is not good enough for them, for he doesn't own teh rights as said before. ah laws, lawyers, bleh. |
