It       was a very good beginning to what promised to be an excellent game, and       was one of the earlier games in a series of ANSI 1/4 screen RPGs.              The problem was that a company (I forget offhand, I have the details at       home) sued Logicom, claiming that the game was too similar to a game       (board game, I think) they produced, and Logicom was issued a cease and       desist order.              Rather than change the game, or fight it, Logicom pulled the game from       the market, and the game was not sold when Logicom sold off its ISV       catalog game by game back in 1997. Don Arnel's lost all copies of all       of his source code, meaning, unless I can track down another one of his       programmers who happens to have it, I can never include this product in       my restoration project, and it's lost forever.              Sorry for the bad news.              http://www.themajorbbs.com - The Major BBS Restoration Project       telnet://bbs.elwynor.com / telnet://hs.host.net              Rick              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
