No, not legal at all, so if you want to decline on that basis I completely

Because it wouldn't be any more legal that way (I have no explicit permission

Some questions for John, et al:
1. Tom Snyder Productions (responsible for Infocomics, American Challenge,
other early games) -- is he also the Tom Snyder responsible for
squigglevision (Dr. Katz) animation and other animation projects?
2. If #1 is true, then is he invited to the Apple
Of course, your alternative is to petition your local radio station to play the Origin
soundtrack. :)

I didn't say no one held the copyright. I just meant the Origin's no longerin the game and that thepermission issue would rest with EA.

Hi Joe
I do not have these but I can get them. Of course I have to arrange a price
with the seller for to pay for them and that is based on what I can then
turn them around for. I can always sell the UVI and the Wing Commander on
eBay. Make me an offer for the Strike Commander (or all three) so
Well--The Strike Commander is obviously not in the ballpark of the U6, so it would be
a lower price.
I'd pay...20-25 for the Strike Commander--if it's complete (but gawd, how would you

Does the Wing Commander have full speech, both in the cutscenes of the Tiger's

is Sega CD (which I find hard to believe, maybe 3do has it too?)
