should this also be dumped...???

Joe Maroni · 13 June 2004, 14:39

Hi guys,

today i looked at my game collection and found a game where i asked me if it should also be dumped like those other commercial games or not...

the game i mean is

Bifi 2 - Action in Hollywood

the reason why i´m a little bit confused is that this game was never a commercial release but it was produced like a commercial game...

the disklabel looks professional and there was even a box produced for it...

ok, there was only a german release for it, but its only in the interest of preservation...
the game is fully freeware and could copied as much as you can...

what do you think...is the professional production reason enough for dumping the game...???

There are already other games like this in the caps database, for example: Energie-Manager and Das Telekommando. So I would say, dump it

Joe Maroni · 13 June 2004, 16:00

ok, i will do it this week and hope that the disk is still usable for caps...

If it was written commerically, and not on an Amiga, then we will certainly include it. If it was wrirtten on an Amiga, then it is more complicated. If you dump it, and we will have a look see

All adware games were duplicated.

Joe Maroni · 13 June 2004, 21:25

IFW · 13 June 2004, 21:31

Joe Maroni · 13 June 2004, 21:33

Joe Maroni · 04 October 2004, 19:55

IFW · 07 October 2004, 12:55

Sleepwalker: unless you dumped a different disk by mistake the second disk is a pure copy

Cardiaxx bad, but it seems it can be helped a bit. We'll see.
Zack: a copy. This may or may not be how the original is.

Joe Maroni · 07 October 2004, 20:54

this sounds not really good...

IFW · 07 October 2004, 23:29

As I said we'll see about Cardiaxx, the rest is unlucky.
