Wow! I just looked at the infocom site. What memories some of those game
names bring back. I wish they were in tads instead of Inform though, so I
could play them on my pac mate.

I'm not sure tom, sinse the game is soooo! old.
As I've said before all the old infocom games can be found on
http://if.illuminion.de/index.html
The webmaster of that site has freely said that should activision ever
contact him and request he removes the games he'd be happy to do so, but
as they are no longer available anywhere else he prefers to have them
available to others.
ditto with fallthru and bramina, both of which i found freely hosted on
old doss game sites.
While I'm all for respecting the developers of games and seeing their hard
work isn't sniched by someone for nothing, when this gets to the point of
disallowing people from playing games just for a vague fear of copywrite
it strikes me as a litle ridiculous.
Heck, sinse when michael posted the links was the first time I ever played
destination mars, I probably wouldn't ever have played the game legally as
it's certainly not being sold anymore.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Hi,
Same here. Creating a cross-platform or modern Windows remake wouldn't
be a problem, but seeing as it was once retail and its copyright
status is unknown it it wouldn't be wise to just jump in and start
distributing old copies or create a modern remake.
Cheers!

Hi Dark,
If it is retail then I don't know whether I would be allowed to control
distribution.
