I really hope they will just sell IPs they don't need anymore. The only sad thing about all this is that we probably won't see more Special Editions, I really liked what they did with Monkey Island 1+2. I was hoping for a remade Indiana Jones III or maybe even Zak McKracken (one can dream).

I was in with my $110 pledge five minutes after the Kickstarter but I have to admit - I'm surprised it earned so much money so fast. It's been many years since Dreamfall and the franchise seemed close to being forgotten already. It's not like Funcom did Director's Cut versions like Revolution or por...

I would register on aep-emu.de and place your question there, it's the biggest german emulation community. However, when it comes to Flashback there is a much easier solution. REminiscence is an engine much similar to ScummVM, running the original game data on modern operating systems: http://cyxdow...

I don't know about Android but you could basically do something like that with Dropbox.

That doesn't make it any more legal to offer the download. That sentence basically confirms that they are not allowed to offer the game as freeware. One of their editors obviously still thinks there is something like a legal abandonware term.

libmove for PSL1GHT has been released:

Are there any plans to incorporate Move support in the PS3 port? That would make it the perfect console port imho!

Not actually, but didn't see a commit for some time so it seems to be one of these engines developers suddenly loose interest in. But I might be wrong - hopefully I am :)

My interest is definitely still up but then again I'm no dev. Last real commit must have been months ago, hopefully this doesn't enter the engine cemetaryâ„¢ alongside Last Express, M4 or Unity.

And C64 images ARE called ROMs(i'm having this nice computer and I read much on C64 forums), there are also real ROMs because the C64 has an expansion port for ROM modules(that aren't so famous as disks and tapes). I don't think that there are at all people who don't know that they use disk or tape...

Wasn't Maniac Mansion NES the only ROM game supported? I thought, only disk version of the C64 games are supported, since there weren't any official versions on ROM. Without making any accusations - it's a pretty common mistake among downloaders to just call every game they download a ROM. I think ...

Back2TheRoots doesn't offer Abandonware. Actually they got permission to host all the games they have on their site. You can read their policy about that.
