That makes sense enough.  You're a help, Swift.

Corsair5, I like you for your signature.

And, sound like one, too.  But that's not too bad.

Yes, I know that it is illegal, and that it's illegal because they retain the copywrite laws.  What I have yet to comprehend is why they choose to still retain the copywrite laws when they make no more money from it.  But, as I said, maybe they do still make money, and I just don't know how.

I appreciate this much speculation towards solutions - yet still it is sooth when she says, "scratched surfaces scarcely see salvation."

It's against forum rules, though, to share the games that are not abandonware?  That would be for legal reasons, aye; the games are not produced anymore, however, so I simply wonder why such laws are still in effect.  Unless there is some still unseen (by me) way they come out with a slight profit.  Are there any answers for that?  Or is this just one of the things of the world that has no answer?

Alas.  Anyway, thanks.

I bought the anthology CD, a while back, but (I'm sorry!) it has become scratched, and the fourth game doesn't work. At any rate, I lost it, so I can't play the third or fourth (the first and second are easy to find on the web).

Just as you would give to Sam, in the alley of Spielburg, will you not also give to Oijl, as he raises his begging bowl up to you, a whine in his voice and pleading in his eye?
