Hi Robin and all, It might surprise some of you that most accessible games out there violates one copyright or another. For example, some of Jim Kitchens games like Life, Monopoly, etc are copyrighted and owned by Hazbro Toys but they have never complained to Jim about using their copyrights. Some of GMA's games like Trek 2000 and Mine Buster, are violations of copyrights held by Paramount and Microsoft but again the copyright holders haven't said jack about them that we know of. Liam's Duck Hunt is an obvious copyright violation of the original Duck Hunt owned by Nintendo. The Bop It computer games by several companies is a copyright violation held by Hazbro, but Hazbro has said nothing to stop blind companies from making computer Bop It games. I am sure PCS games renditions of Packman and Sarah are obvious copyright violations of existing copyrights, and the holders have said zip. Montezuma's Return is based off of Montezuma's Revenge owned by Parker Brothers, now owned by Hazbro Toys, and no one has said anything to me from either company about using the game. Bottom line, we are too small, and if we were all saints here and didn't violate copyrights there would be allot less games for us to play. We would have to invent new games which is much much harder to do than recreating a game we already know well and like to play.
