Sierra and Lucasfilm Games has a Limit of 15 Years of Protection. the Game is from 1989 so:

1989 + 15 = 2004

Since 2004 is this game not more protected from ESA. That is what i understand after reading the rules.

When the exact publication date remains unknown (ie we only have the year), the game is classified as Abandonware on January 1st of the next year after the one resulting from the above calculation.
When we know the month, it is classified as AW in the beginning of next month of the calculated year.
Finally, in the few lucky cases when we know the exact day of publication, the game is classified as AW in the next day after 15 years pass.
Just to clarify some things.
