Yeah. It was the SOLD tag that led me to create a separate thread on the game since I figured this one had been moved somewhere else. But, yes, it appears the game is not sold anywhere other than Amazon. Does this mean it is abandonware or is there are more specific way to check? Also, does anyone have the game to upload in the event that it is abandoned?

If not, I might just shell out the few bucks, get a copy, and try to load it up myself (assuming everything checks out for me to legally do so). But I'm out of my home country and do not have an income for the next several months so that won't happen before April or so. I'd REALLY love to get a hold of this game before then if possible.

I do have two different rips, smaller and larger :)
I played the larger many years ago and liked the game. Recently I found this smaller rip that seems to contain few bugs. I managed to obtain that old CD with this larger rip shortly after. However, something is wrong and I get some funny crashes and even gameplay seems different. Probably due to inappropriate system. I guess I could upload the game, but I would like to do additional checks. And I would like to see image of original CD to see the differences so even if you get this rip soon, which is very likely, please consider buying the game and upload the CD image to ISO cellar. Some things even from gameplay may be left out here, so I'm not sure would my review be appropriate.

Hmm. How large is the rip you have? Would there be any way for you to get it to me so I could test it out as well?

I'm not sure, think it's 150MB but that might be unpacked. I don't have it here so I need a day or two.

I have this as a mdf/mds/ecm image. The size is 222,64 Mb.

skepticcs 10-01-2011 03:37 PM

Would it be appropriate to submit this to the ISO Cellar yet?

marko river 10-01-2011 04:25 PM

Ermuli, you're the genius. I like having both Geezer and Ermuli, if by some impossible case one of them doesn't have something, the other one surely does.

As soon as this is confirmed as abw, I hope to see it in ISO cellar. Oh YEAH :doom:

Marko, would you mind removing the [SOLD] tag from the topic title so folks don't ignore this one right off?

marko river 12-01-2011 08:50 PM

I guess that makes sense. I thought it is not important since Paco told me so, but perhaps it's better.

Even though I imagine this has already been confirmed to meet Abandonia's definition of abandonware, I decided to confirm the game's abandonware status. Having done so successfully...
