I would say, go to www.bigbluecup.com and you'll find a lot of other free adventuregames, there are also some adventures which can compete with the old games by sierra and lucasarts..

I hope they will do a 'virtualconsole' kind of thing with these games for all current consoles, so xbox360, ps3 and Wii owners can enjoy these games...

Is there a link to any talkie version by now? and how about the full dosversion which is available on many freeware sites now.. but seeing that one is only 4MB packed I can...

It seems that also for H2 and H3 the logic is in the exe. But why not try to contact the author, maybe he is willing to lend a hand/code.. But since they still sell the game I'm pretty sure they won't be that helpfull..

Anyway, I think that present model of intelectual property managment is bad for the industry, or at least for consumers. I think that 70-year copyright period is plain ridiculous. And I hope, that under consumers pressure, such greedy behavior will be eliminated from companies politics. Greedy beha...

Ahhh, I hate the copyright laws. It's unfair that the company can keep the rights of works, that lie at the bottom of the drawer. If the rights are unused for, let's say, 10 years, they should be transfered to public domain. The world goes on now so fast, that 10 years now is like a century in the ...

That's true although I can't see a reason not to release obsolete game engines (Jedi, Sith, GrimE, Scumm not the game files) as open source as they are of no commercial value to LEC but would improve their public image. Well I can see enough reasons, for one, copyright.. And ofcourse it isn't in th...

If you mean with 'who has the source' who owns the rights, then you're right.. LOL.. because if CJ still has the source (which I would think he has) doesn't mean he can share it even if he wanted to..

I'm gonna ask Chris Jones about it (I knew I remembered his name from somewhere, and now I know he's the man behind the AGS engine, which is a community I'm also following a lot).. Chris Jones from Access is not the same, as the one behind AGS engine, if that's what you assume. These are two differ...

Thanx.. I was asking that so I can look how scummvm handles hardcoded games.. for now it's just interest... I'm gonna ask Chris Jones about it (I knew I remembered his name from somewhere, and now I know he's the man behind the AGS engine, which is a community I'm also following a lot)..

Concerning the roms: although legally you might be able to download these roms even if you don't own any of the hardware, as the patent is expired, Roland was causing trouble for the development team anyway. Claiming that you need to have possesion of the hardware was just canadacow's way of keepin...

Yeah, I already thought that when I looked at the exe using the hexeditor and saw the exact text that is shown in the first screen.. The datafiles contain a small header and some MDCD compressed files stuck to each other.. you can use a hexeditor to save the blocks to files and uncompress the files ...
