  • 2067 BC
    Although advertised in DinoSaw PD, according to Acorn Gaming this game is published by Oregan. Anyone got any idea who wrote 2067 BC? Or feel like asking Oregan for it and any other old games? ;)
Is that a subtle hint ? ;)

For the other games on the list if no one comes forward, put a post on csa.announce and try and get as many people as possible to help out providing them. :)

Doesn't really matter (to meeeee!). Tom said he was happy for all his old games to go out freeware, so unless you can find someone with a better title to it, I'm pretty sure it's fair game.
Good :)

Cor, all this rights stuff is giving me flashbacks to the Tetris program on BBC4. Do you think the Soviet State will threaten our lives if we get this wrong? :)
Dunno; I managed to miss that programme :|

Think I've missed about 10 posts somehow :o
Did you get caught out by the innaccurate page counts or something? :o (Which now seem to have magically fixed themselves :|)

[edit]

No they haven't :|

Yes I think so. I wish that bug where the poster is returned to the first page instead of the latest would be fixed as well.

Hmm. Both those bugs are already listed, and it's been almost a year since they were reported and they still aren't solved :o (Along with 5 others, and one from last december :|)

Just get your arse in there. And yes, you do have the right priveleges to do so if I just added them right.

I should probably try and find the time to tidy up and release the remaining two or three games at some point shock
