GEMZ project

[CFou!]

I have contacted GEMZ's authors, and have got a answer of Frank Matzke:


>Salut Bertand,

>GEM'Z was almost "gold" when it was stolen at one of
>the Amiga shows in Cologne sometime in the early
>Nineties. At that time we had already sold the
>publishing rights to a small German publisher called
>"Software 2000" who I believe you may be familiar with
>due to your emulator work?! They never considered
>releasing the game after it appeared as a warez
>version and actually bought Kaiko sometime afterwards.
>This company went bankrupt a couple of years, so the
>rights to GEM'Z are currently in a "legal limbo" as to
>my knowledge nobody bought any of their assets.

>While neither Chris nor I believe that you'll face any
>sort of legal consequences, please be aware that we
>cannot formally grant you distribution rights due to
>the aforementioned situation. Nonetheless, some of our
>old games have been emulated and/or ported for many
>years, and neither the founders of Kaiko nor any of
>their licensees etc. have ever claimed any rights.

>In other words: Chris and myself are fine w/ it - but
>we cannot speak for the defunct Software 2000 company.

>Cheers,
>Frank Matzke

I was told the same when I asked about the PC version. But I talked to Marc Kamradt, not Frank.
