Hi Shaun,
I'm all for the idea of a Q9 clone. A developer, whoever that would
be, could create something like Q9 and either sell it or give it away
legally. It isn't like such things haven't been done before, and the
game is generic enough that something similar can be created without
much of a
Hi Charles,
A comment about your comment. There is a lot more to the legalization
of illegal drugs than just everyone is doing it. Some studies have
shown that countries like Portugal which have relaxed their drug
policies have a less of a drug problem per person than countries that

Hi Shaun,
We have a strict no piracy rule here on Audyssey so yes the mods do
mind. While I am upset with how Q9 was handled that doesn't mean I'll
relax the rule about sharing the keys on this or any other list I run
because it is piracy. Just because I think Mr. Hartgen is being a bit
of a jerk

Hi Lisa.
I fully agree with you that Jim was far more than just his games and the
response of what about his games now can seem calous in some lights.
However, by the same tocan, I don't think wanting to preserve an artist's

Hi Tom.
In light of this debate, I did go and play Q9, and one thing struck me. Lots
of people have tried! to develop games like Q9 but not many have been as
successful, look at games like Battle Zone, indeed I would say that these
are probably the most common type of audiogames people first
I agree, and it's such a shame blastbay is no longer in operation.

all of my friends this is a big loss of audiogames community

I haven't played his games so much but his baseball was ausam.

I hope somebody will store his games and will host.

Yahtzee was absolutely fine last I checked.
Multiple hosting will be a good thing, but I actually like the idea of
preserving Jim's own descriptions of the games on his website as well as
just the files themselvves just for continuity if nothing else sinse as far
as I'm aware, updates aside
With Jim's passing it's a hit yes to the blind gaming community, but
though I didn't know him truly He will be missed. RIP Jim Kitchen and
thank you for blessing us with your creativity.

I'd hazzard a guess that most people aren't really that mad at Phillip. He
did what he felt hehad to do. It's the guy he sold his game to that has
everyone hot under the collar for refusing to make the game available to
newbies in a way that doesn't require them to spend thrree or more times
Correction. It's Brian Hartgen. Personally if it had been my product I would
have set certain conditions before agreeing to the sale. Well one at any
rate, and that would have been that the game also needed to be available as
a standalone for those who couldn't or didn't want to spend a hundred
While we never knew him in person, we here at 7-128 Software, (Eleanor,

Hi Dark,
I agree with all your points. Although, Q9 is a simple side-scroller
it was well thought out and well designed from a development
standpoint. It had good game mechanics, good music, good sounds, a bit
of light humor, and a lot of beginners just aren't quite able to
deliver that quality.
Hi Bryan,
Maybe so but the fact of the matter is I get the feeling this deal
went down rather suddenly. I don't know what if any influence Philip
had over distribution of Q9 when Brian Hartgen took control of the
product, and I'm not sure he really cared about new sales that much.
The only

Unfortunately, there is no information available on what took Jim's

Problem is:
People might see what else is out there, if they explore. But Leesy isn't made
for that. Its made to sort of lock you in, to get you with it and have all the
tools and fun you'll ever need. So no, I doubt they'll come here, no. They'll
stay with the games Leesy has made available
The solution to all this is to have all these young, competing developers team
up and make something amazing and jaw-dropping for once.

Hi Aprone,
The way I see it the more people who can share the files the better.
While I also intend to mirror his site and games I would like to
perhaps repackage them and give them better Windows installers. While
the method he uses is functional it doesn't really cut it for today's
computing
Hi,
Yes. Yatzi is fine. I have it on my system and all virus scans say the
file is clean. So I think it is a false positive that Aprone's scan
thought it might be a virus.
Cheers!
