1799 Boulder Dash games -1 Boulder Dash Anyone else notice the date(s) on the letter? Every date on that letter is in July. First Star hasn't been around from ages. What we have here is a guy who owns the copyrights to the game, trying to wring out any last chance of profitability of the game. Several points in the letter could be argued in court. 1999-12-10 11:03:19 0

1801 Boulder Dash games -1 Boulder Dash what i'd like to know is (i'm hoping html tags work here): <p> if first star software never published for linux and never will, what harm would a clone for linux do to the company? what monetary losses is spitalny talking about? <P> does spitalny think i'll buy a game for an operating system i wouldn't ever let into my house? or does he think i'll throw away my pc and pick up a C64 at a local flea market? 1999-12-10 17:13:52 0

1804 Boulder Dash games -1 Boulder Dash i sent letter to spitalny and ask him "can i buy linux version of BD?". he sad : "<skip>We've recently licensed the linux rights to BD <skip>So, during the term of the license, the control when/if a linux version will be released<skip>". First Star haven't any linux version of BD. Hence First Star can't sell BD for linux. When i uses any clone of BD i can't to harm FS and spitalny himself. 1999-12-11 11:02:05 0
1805 Boulder Dash games 1328 Boulder Dash The author probably would be okay if it weren't for three things that he shouldn't have used: The name, the graphics and original levels. I doubt the "look and feel" would hold up in court. The elements of Boulder Dash are quite similar to games that came out before it. Mr. Do has many of the same elements. 1999-12-11 12:28:29 0
