Hi Tobias, That is pretty much what happened. Here is the scoop on James North's plans to refund orders as I know it. Back in late 2005 and early 2006 James North was getting sick and tired of being hounded about Monte and Raceway so he said he would refund everyones orders, delete the games, unless someone else would take them over and finish them. Either way he was baling out of the accessible games business. The nice guy that I am, perhaps too nice for my own good, decided to take over these games, complete them, and release them under USA Games. James was suppose to refund the customers since he no longer held copyrights for the games, but never did. Instead he held onto the money claming it was money owed to him to buy him out of the copyrights for Monte and Raceway. I never argued with him, but decided I'd simply try and give copies to the Alchemy pre-ordered customers rather than fight with him over who had a right to the money gathered in pre-orders. For my single act of good will for the accessible games comunity I got my share of being cussed out, chewed out, called names I shall not repete, threats of law suits, because I really was in no financial position to give anyone their refunds which James North had the money for. I certainly didn't deserve that sort of treatment, but that didn't seam to matter to some of the people in our comunity. It took a titanic act of will not to email each and everyone of them back and tell them to bend over and where to put that pre-order money. Following that I could tell them where they could go. However, because I no saying those things wouldn't do anyone any good I tried to be civil with everyone of them through that rough transition. all of them shut up after I released Beta 1 and now they got their keys they are happy as clams.
