Hi Dark, I believe your Windows analogy is pretty close a comparison as we can get. Not exactly the same situation, but close enough for comparison that the concepts carry over. As you said Leasy costs no more than it ever has and I believe Brian has purchased Q9 to include in Leasey as a sort

Hi Rajmund, The message Josh sent contained the logs for 20 football games. Every play was recorded and logged by the game which is what he attempted to forward onto the list, but apparently failed because a lot of e-mail clients couldn't open it. \ On 8/10/15, Rajmund brajmund2...@gmail.com

Hello Rajmund, Yes, I still play a number of text based games. Although, admittedly it has been a few weeks since I played any recently. However, there are people here including myself that still play the old Inform based zcode games you speak of. I also occasionally play mud's like Alter Aeon

Hi Josh, I don't think anyone will disagree with that. It is bad marketing, but I don't think we need to continue to belabor the point. What is done is done and continuing to moan and groan about it isn't going to change things. So if there is nothing more constructive to say on the issue I think

Hi Bryan, I agree. This topic has gone about as far as it can go, and at some point people are just spinning their wheels repeating the same old arguments. We should begin wrapping it up and moving on to something else. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the

Hi Darren, I had not heard this. Can you give me more details on this installer project? I'm interested to know if the person is using a qualified installation tool like Inno Setup, Microsoft Setup Installer, or just repacking the games using Winzip Self-Extractor like Jim did. Moreover I'm not

Hi Mattias, While Philip may be a Jaws user I don't think this situation with Q9 has arisen because he is a Jaws lover. I don't think that had anything to do with it. As Philip explained on the Audiogames.net Forum it was a simple business arrangement where Brian Hartgen offered him an

Hi Matthias, True, but that is not directly Philip's fault. He sold it to Brian Hartgen who is the one that has locked Q9 to Jaws and Leasey. There is a difference here in who is to blame for the unfortunate state of affairs. I'm puzzled as to why you continue to blame Philip when he no longer

Hi Shaun, That's a bit obvious. No one is complaining about Q9 but the way the transfer was handled and the way Brian Hartgen has decided to distribute the game now that he has it. The point in my message you responded to is that if people don't like the new distribution policy that the game

Hi Shaun, That hardly seems necessary, but you can do whatever you think is right. I have a feeling Jeremy is correct when he said there is no danger of Jim's games becoming unavailable because very quickly there will be 40 different sites where one can download his stuff from because everyone

Hi Bryan, True. Not every developer does use the same programming language and/or platform. That said, there are ways around that problem if the developers really and truly want to work together to develop something decent. As with every collaboration project there would be a bit of give and

Hi Dark, Oh, definitely agree. I've actually been doing some thinking and I think what would be cool is a modern remake or clone of Tarzan Junior since presumably Philip still holds the rights and it would be easy to get permission to rewrite TJ. Reason being it could be designed to use similar

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 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 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
